Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round is the combination of all that has been put into Dead Or Alive 5 with the addition of characters Raidou and Honoka. Now have you ever asked why we are getting a copycat school girl with mysterious power and cyberborg version of an old boss for new characters for the game? According to Tom Lee Creative Director at Team Ninja Raidou has a certain edge.
“He’s quicker for his sizeHis movements are swift and that’s to encourage fast play and to keep the movements more cinematic, less rigid. Raidou was brought back because he is a fan favorite. Team Ninja definitely wants to see more villains in the line up. I personally love seeing more characters like this it brings balance to the cutesy girls [in Dead or Alive].”
While Raidou is an old favorite Honoka is the new girl who seems to fit but also makes a divide. You see she does fit in but many of Team Ninja crew wanted more character like Raidou but Lee says that their are numbers supporting character like the mysterious character. You see according to their numbers western players like characters like Rig while Japanese players like character like female characters.
“There are many guys on our team. I would like to see more characters like Raidou, for instance. But at the end of the day I think the numbers support the Honoka type of character Maybe its a cultural difference, but sometimes in the East it’s dictated by aesthetics first and then the story is developed through character design. Rather than saying, the sister of so-and-so just got messed up by him, so let’s create a revenge story. Lots of times we review character designs and she seems like a 15 year old school girl, she’s coming home from school, let’s create a story about that.”
The Article continues to go on about balance between adding the new characters and fan favorites like the Dangerzone. You can catch the rest in the article link below.
