Dead or Alive

Characters? All I see are VF characters, Ryu Hayabusa, a potentially insulting texan, and a bunch of other randoms.

Tina is the ideal texan.

I find Tina annoying honestly >_>

I guess Texans annoy me then?
 
Being brutally honest, Cammy's outfit could be banned too depending on the physics of the game (and if the stage has water)
 
1. What people seem to ignore is that it's a soft ban. Only TO's make the decision and, honestly, they should know if their local community is against it.
2. Some costumes that are banned make sense, but others dont (The santa costumes are fine, why are those soft banned). Most of the bikinis aren't that bad, but stuff like this

literally just strips of wrapping paper
and this
latest

Pasties and an impossible thong....

Are people really comparing that to wrestling shorts

latest

Something actually worn by both male and Female wrestlers?
Is it really hard to get why some people some of these costumes displayed on publicly broadcast events (EVO) as a representation of their game?

That said, I'm against the soft ban, but simply because it goes too far and includes costumes that are fine to wear in public (albeit on a beach). There's only 10 or so costumes out of 200+ that I legit think go too far. Whay are they soft banning 129?

EDIT:

Yeah, Capcom actually covered more of her buns when SFIV was released......and Felicia almost got MVC3 an M rating.

Still better than most fighting games rosters.
 
i already heard there was an issue with those new ninja style costumes too

can someone explain that one?
 
Who fucking cares, It's a damn video game.

Just started playing Dead or alive 5, got core fighters, and its a smooth and really fun fighter. The fact that they have to try and ban costumes means that they have very little faith in the game they try to grow.
 
They could just have no constumes unlocked or purchased on the systems at the live events, therefor negating the issue entirely >_>

No issue with ninja costumes. Doa5LR reordered some costumes.
 
sure is nice that ayane is conveniently 18 in the game that she gets a vampire stripper outfit
not that it would stop them before but it's great they aren't complete scumlords here

Except people are gonna complain about "mah costumes" if they are gonna be restricted to C1-C2 especially Hayabusa players that want him without mask. Also pretty sure Tournament Mode already unlocks all the costumes that are already comes with the game anyway. You can just restrict dlc costumes, but that not only won't solve the issue [there are several arguably "slutty" outfits that are non dlc for LR], but it would also ban out the costumes that had nothing to do with this issue.

True I guess. Welp, whatever then. If they wanna ban costumes, we can all make fun of them for it and go back to using whatever costumes we please.
 
They just dont realize soft banning the costumes wont make people take their game anymore seriously then they already do.
 
it's be like banning the characters with panty shots in Skullgirls
you might as well just call that game The Big Band Show

It's not already the Big Band show? I WAS LIED TO!
 
yo, if you guys see people doing a low punch with a VF character a lot in this game, they're someone who has played a lot of VF.

I see that sometimes. I can never read those four VF characters, ever.
 
that's because VF's low punch rules all in VF.
it stops grabs, approaches, it's super fast.

and everyone has it.

Remember those two times Eliza had her art edited because it was a bit too risque (grabbed animation and a win pose)? And that time Parasoul showed too much of her goods and was edited?

Make no mistake, the soft ban itself is much too strict and I'm against/neutral towards it, but let's not pretend things were never changed in SG.

But really, the funniest thing about the situation is that the people who don't go to tournaments (the only places the soft ban is pushed) are the ones making the most noise against it. The people who actually participate are mostly neutral with a few that are outright for it.
 
Let's also not forget this animation

Someone help me real quick cause im about to flip. So at first i was playing DoA5 LR core fighters and i bought phase 4 cause she is cool. I got DoA5U today so i can get the free update. Before I went to work, I noticed phase 4 was locked...does the DLC that i got for core fighters work? Or do I have to buy her again (Hope its the former)
 
maybe you gotta redownload her?
also, what version are you on, Sony or MSFT?
scratch that, I remember what version you're playing on.
 
I could try that. I hope i dont have to buy her again cause that would suck
 
if you bought her on PSN she should be bought for good on your account.
try seeing if she's on your downloads list.
 
For any competitive DoA fans here in SH

@SonicFox5000 also plays DoA 5 really well so help out if you wish by voting in link above daily.
 
man, we gotta revive this thread.
also, is there a VF thread, or can I make one?
there needs to be morer 3D fighter love. :(
 
I took a break from this game. Of course there is plenty of news still happening, but it's mostly costume dlc. Honestly the lack of any crossplay really damaged the online player scene since the PC, Xbox One, and PS4 versions came out. The playerbase is now too split.

I don't know if there is a VF thread, but I doubt it since VF outside of Japan is pretty dead. There is a Tekken thread that gets decent activity, but I'm not too excited about T7.
 
I know VF is dead, but it was the first fighting game i actually owned, I don't even think I'm that good at it, I just wanna talk about it with people and play it with them. ;-; I wanna play people with my cool Lei Fei costumes...

I just want the DoA scene to come back to life...
 
I'm still keeping in practice on weekends (somewhat). Entered two designs for the Halloween costume contest & am waiting on the results.
If by some chance one of them is picked, I'd love to use it in vs. quite a bit. I met Hajin once at a small local event in Oakland. He was cool.
Anyone who wants to play (fun/practice) on a weekend, let me know.
 
I really wanna learn how to play Nyo-Tengu, but every time I pick her up she feels like a male character and I always feel weird not playing the girls.
the girls just feel so much better to play.
and then I pick Jacky because I'll love his mother-loving backflip kick till the day I die.
and then I pick Christie's space suit with the orange glowey bits because that's my favorite one.

damn, I love that outfit.
 
with my new computer, I should be able to actually play the game with some semblence of a double digit framerate!
 
I can't afford a new computer and I don't know shit about building PCs.
also, fuck dedicated video ram.
I don't care if it's actually a good thing.
it's the one thing that always pops up when my computer can't play something.
 
hooray, some revival for the game.
please god, let it be another VF character.
