Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

They could have come up with... an undercover cop posing as a child prostitute who fights with an ASP baton. A fighter with a weapon debuts, her small stature makes sense, and you still get all the Chris Hansen cases.

Don't mind me, I'm just complaining for the sake of it...

More screens of Marie Rose, most of them in her second costume.

Looks like she has a throw similar to the monkey-style kung-fu throw of Eileen. She straddles the opponent and claws into their face.

Based on what I've seen from the limited video footage, she seems more like Brad than Bayman or Leon. Although those stances are more like sabaki-stances that transitional stances like Brad's. So I guess... she's a little like Pai?
 
"Her fighting style is Systema!"

No it's... No it's not.


Can they just come out and say that they couldn't find a good mocap guy in time? Instead of lying?

She seems to have a few of Rachel's moves too- her PK, 214P, 7P, 6KK, command sidestep... (I'm sure one of those is originally Tina's...)



I know these fighters aren't supposed to be realistic, but I'm getting real tired of developers just %^&*ting all over it.

There's so much room to be creative. To make things seem plausible. To make me step back and go "woah, I've never seen that before."

Instead they gave her a shunpukyaku. Why'd they give her a shunpukyaku?!

It's just so anime. So moeblob. They could have at least tried to hide it but they went balls out.



The inappropriate leotard is just icing on the cake.
Alot of her moves are actually homages to other similar teenaged characters in fighting games. Sakura's Tatsu, R.Mika's Flying Peach, Pyrrha's 66A+G throw, Lili's Dominating Heel, Matterhorn, Dendrobium, Divine Step etc.

Her regular holds, advanced holds, sabakis and throws however do seem to be pure Systema.

It's obvious by now that they will never have a fighter with a weapon in DOA. They've already had multiple chances to do so (with the ninjas and Rachel) but they all given them hand to hand movesets instead.
