Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

[Windstar]

So that video of Momiji has to be one of the laziest transplant of moves and animations I've ever seen. Its one thing to transplant an entire move list from one character to the next, but here, its hodgepodge of moves from a bunch of characters put on one character. And its done very poorly.

And then you had to rip victory animations like this:

So Momiji has Hayate's 3PP. She also has his 7P CB. She directly pulls the animation of her Izuna Drop (Wii U version YXYYYX) complete with the recovery animation appearing to wield an invisible naginata. The last hit of her power blow animation is a direct rip of Kasumi's. She doesn't appear to have a blocking stance, instead it appears she's wielding a naginata and raising it slightly like her Ninja Gaiden Sigma block stance. Her knee attack appears to been pulled from Tina's 6K or from one of Sarah's knees (66H+K). At the very least, I'm glad she's coming into the game, but I'm certainly not liking the idea of her move list being so lazily slapped together. Especially since the PR states she using a modified Aikido martial art.

On the positive side, the video hints at a number of new things. New hairstyles, new costumes and even new winning poses for some or all characters.

OK, now that they're adding Leon I will definitely consider getting back into this game.

Wow you're a ray of sunshine aren't you? I'll let you know something, Ayane and Kasumi's movesets in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge are heavily based on their DOA playstyles (hence why there's a lot of shared moves) because its essentially the same characters. It's not surprising that TN would relate Momiji's moveset to how she was in NG3:RE because, yup, she's the same character! I predicted that she'd essentially be like a female Hayabusa because, you guessed, they trained within the same clan. The "naginata" stab at the end of her izuna drop was an interesting touch. Not many characters have a move where they stab their opponent in the back with a knifehand after slamming them down.

However, she does look like she can be a little gimmicky (well she is a ninja I guess), though her powerblow looked rather awesome! Is it me or did she look like she initiated it from the air or something like her air UT's in NGS2 or NG3:RE?. I look forward to fooling around with Momiji when DOA5U releases.

Umm, there was character BGM in DOA5+. This isn't really a surprise.

Edit: Kasumi: "Ouch...."

DO IT!

Wish List:

- Return of Leon and Tengu (maybe Ein, but we already have Hayate and Hitomi)
- Add a couple VF characters if possible along with Momiji such as Aoi, Eileen or Vanessa for example, or of course, a new DOA character
- Bring back the soundtrack of the cast as far back as DOA2 (which arguably had the best music, Jintsuriki, TehuTehu & Grand Style FTW) I.e. DOA2, DOA3 & DOA4 character music.
- Add some mild customization options for the characters like VF5:FS has
- More stages with a greater sense of atmosphere. I love the interactivity of DOA5's stages, along with cliffhangers, but they severely lack a sense of atmosphere and thus feel kinda flat. DOA4, and DOA2U (Safari!!) had more interesting stage designs
- Tag combo challenges/tutorials (if possible, mainly for specific teams such as Ayane/Kasumi or Bass/Tina, etc.)
- Co-op Tag online
- A more interesting lobby ala DOA4
- Tweak netcode

If these things would be in DOA5U I'd be very pleasantly delighted and content!

Safari was such a clusterfuck of a stage, especially with the cat that jumped out of nowhere.
