    As much as I like DOA and Team Ninja, this is probably their shittiest idea yet: For whatever reason, only 9 characters will be available in-game...and they're holding a popularity contest to decide who makes it.

    The catch is 1. it's only available to Japanese PSN members and 2. you vote by buying a theme of your favorite girl. More details and whatnot here.

    At the time of me writing this, someone supposedly tallied up the numbers and so far the standings seem to be:

    • Marie Rose: 81
    • Honoka: 71
    • Kasumi: 56
    • Nyotengu: 50
    • Ayane: 45
    • Kokoro: 44
    • Momiji: 35
    • Helena: 32
    • Hitomi: 31
    • Leifang: 29
    • Tina: 21
    • Mila: 21
    • Lisa: 12
    • Christie: 10
    • Rachel: 5

    sigh

    Marie Rose is kind of a shitty character, but whatever. I'll her slide. I really like Nyotengu, but I wouldn't miss her if she didn't make it. Fucking Honoka though? Really?! God-fucking-dammit Japan. I mean, I know she's like the ultimate otaku waifu-bait (she's a pop idol/school girl. I'm not lying.), but she is by far TN's laziest character ever. I wouldn't care if every girl made it into the game, but it sucks that one of the 9 limited slots is being wasted on her while characters, like Leifang and Tina, who have literally been in every entry in the series probably won't make it into the final release.

    Whatever though, seeing as how Leifang (my main) might possibly not make it now, my hype meter is has officially gone down to "couldn't give less of a fuck." If she gets in, I'll start caring again, but right now I'm just all sorta of blown.

    Anywho, how about you? Do you think your favorite female fighter is gonna make it?

    edit:The results are in!

    There is no God.

    The winners:

    1. Marie Rose
    2. Honoka
    3. Kasumi
    4. Ayane
    5. Kokoro
    6. Nyotengu
    7. Hitomi
    8. Momiji
    9. Helena

    Fuck everything.

    NO TINA NO BUY.

    Actually I probably wont get it anyways, but no Tina? Come on man she's a staple character. Christie too for that matter, it seems crazy to me that she is so low on the list.

    I think we can be relatively certain that "only 9 characters" means everyone else is DLC and that that this will probably be one of the heaviest DLC games to ever exist.

    I feel strongly that the new anti-sexuality climate in the games media is why this game won't get released here.

    I predict they're going to take money from eager otaku and then less than a year the girls who didn't make the cut will suddenly appear in future expansions, which you'll pay even more money to acquire.

    Rachel is my main in Dead or Alive 5. Marie is my second favorite. So at least one of my favorites will get in.

    I'm really surprised Hitomi(my favorite) is making the cut so far. I didn't realize she's more popular than Tina, Lisa, and Christie over there. I think I would be kinda ok with that list but the characters I use most are in the bottom half.

    Well, in Japan's defense, I would not pick the American characters either. And let's face it, Rachel is just Tina...except not even as good and Lisa is just Tina's friend. Milla is an MMA fighter from Rumble Roses which was an okay crossover but not needed. The only ones from the bottom 1/3 of the list which woudl be nice to have is Christie.

    You ask this on a site that has showcased such games as Gal*Gun and Gal*Gun: Double Peace, and has hours of video footage and podcast discussions about PSO2?

    Nothing is region locked for base game code, so anyone can play anything. There are plenty of stores that sell Japanese/Asian games too and the prices are reasonable. It is not 1989 anymore, so there is a certain percentage of people who do care because they play these game.

    Can never understand Japan's love for 16 year old "Waifus". really surprised Honoka and Marie Rose are so popular.

    There is actual women that do genuinely love this franchise and the women in the games, but yea, the way how hard the press will come down on them if this gets released, there is no way this game makes it over.

    I'm usually the first guy to defend this franchise cause their games are too good to be put down cause of self image issues and ass&tits but what I cannot defend is how monetized this franchise has become.

    Their costume dlc are already shenanigans but now you have to pay to vote for your favorite characters to appear in a coming new installment?!?!!? C'mon man!

    As great of a game DOA5 is, it's as lifeless as the inside of a vault.

    Just curious, who here also hates the lack of effort towards 5's story mode as well? DOA actually had a decent story/arcade mode. They ruined it in 5. They have the material to make an extremely badass story. I mean, Ryu F'n Hayabusa is in your game!

    Seriously. I looked at this and was like "haha of course the youngest-looking, moe characters are at the top and Lisa is ranked very low."

    At least Hitomi is keeping at #9, though I am curious about why Christie is so low on the totem pole. They're in my top 5 favorites to play, along with Jann Lee, Brad Wong, and Mila. Let's get some Brad Wong swimsuit action in here.

    lack of effort in DOA5s story mode?

    I think you're pretty much the only person who feels that way. The story mode was one of the most praised things about the game. Jeff talked about it for weeks on the Bombcast. I mean, it wasn't "good", but it was a quantum leap above other story-modes in games and paved the way for Mortal Kombat.

    Is what how SF3 players felt?

    The SF3 debacle doesn't get talked about enough. It's not that SF3 was bad game, or that people didn't like it. SF3 was phenomenal, as most people now know. What was bizarre is that when SF3 came out in the arcades, CAPCOM DIDN'T CALL IT STREET FIGHTER. This is one of the craziest stories in gaming. It's right alongside Sega announcing the Saturn at E3 and then saying it was in stores the same day. When Street Fighter 3 came out, the arcade cabinets just said "THREE" on it in really big letters. Alex was the new main character in the game, instead of Ryu, and most of the cast was new. This meant that many, many people walked right by the cabinet and had no idea it was the new Street Fighter game. This lack of notoriety alongside the death of the arcade alongside the awkward time when there was no home console to handle a port meant that SF3 was an obscure game for a long time.

    [Mila] is an MMA fighter from Rumble Roses which was an okay crossover but not needed.

    I'm afraid you're mistaken about that. Mila is an original character. You're probably thinking of Reiko Hinomoto. Rumble Roses was a Konami game--a wrasslin' game, not an MMA game--and the only game to feature a Rumble Roses crossover was Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.

    Man, they sure look the same...so much so that they are indistinguishable as "characters". But I stand corrected sir.

    @kiryu: Your guess is as good as mine. Either their budget is extremely tight or they really are just planning to release the rest as dlc. Either way, this whole thing is off to a rocky start if you ask me.

    I am glad Honoka is popular because she quickly became my favorite. Would not want Marie Rose though, but people love loli so what can I do. I personally think she looks completely out of place with her flat body in a game about bouncy physics.

    If that is the list that makes it then I will miss Tina and Lisa.

    I have no idea who those first two girls are, yet they're the most popular. I'm not one to encourage generalization, but them clearly being the youngest looking is not surprising coming from Japan.

    Also, Christie's place in this is a god damn disgrace.

    Apparently, Honoka is like either #1 or 2 around the world so it's not just Japan. It seems the entire planet has terrible tastes.

    I don't actually think you have terrible tastes if like Honoka, to each his own, but goddamn I think she's such a shitty character.

    Also, I didn't realize it in my waifu-filled rage before, but isn't Lisa a big part of the first two DOAX games? I know she was introduced in DOAX before she actually showed up in the main series, but wasn't she also like the announcer or Zack's assistant or something?
