Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

[Ishimaru Jinrai]

Is there anyone here that lives in SoCal and plays DOA, that is willing to come out to Wednesday Night Fights and/or weekend casual gatherings?

@Ishimaru Jinrai don't you live in SoCal? I believe I saw you mention once before that you wanted to attend one of SOCALDOA's tournaments.

Nope sadly I don't live near there.. T__T; I've always attended a lot of Halo tournaments and I go to anime convention game tournaments but never gone to a major fighting game based tournament, it would be a good test! =] I main Christie but I might swap up to Marie Rose if she's fun enough to play as! >:D

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.

So...Genra doesn't count?

Are you possibly going to SoCal Regionals 2014 in Feburary, then?

I'm not sure if Genra's vajra counts as a weapon. Sure, it's very Darth Maul, but Genra's an unplayable boss so I don't think he counts.

Although I guess there could be an argument for Tengu's giant fan...

From the arcade videos, I've noticed some improvements to the particle and graphical effects in the game. Sand now dusts up similar to water effects, and as far as Marie Rose is concerned her animations look more fluid and seems to have more animation to them than the rest of the cast. At the very least more effort was put into her animations and moves than Momiji and Rachel.

As was pointed out. Genra was a boss who, unlike Tengu and Alpha, was never made playable outside of Dimensions (where he's an unlockable bonus). He's the exception to the rule and most likely never really meant to be a regular member of the cast.
