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!
The winners:
- Marie Rose
- Honoka
- Kasumi
- Ayane
- Kokoro
- Nyotengu
- Hitomi
- Momiji
- Helena
Fuck everything.
