Virtua Fighter's Akira Yuki to be playable character in DOA 5 Click to view
Crazy thing is,
Kokoro from DOA 4 plays a lot like Akira (I believe they use the same style of Kung Fu.) But you'd think, given the theme of the game, they'd include Sara, Pai, Aoi or Vanessa instead and give them some "bounce" . Who knows though . . . maybe one will be unlockable XD
Hell, I'd absolutely crazy if they included a character or two from Fighting Vipers, like Honey or Grace (or hell, even Jane)!
Though, the addition of Akira definitely makes more sense than Nicole, a Spartan from HALO!
Additionally, glad they finally used new character models. The ribbon like hair from DOA 4 really annoyed me.
Still, I am concerned because this will be the first DOA game made without the series creator, Tomonobu Itagaki (he left Tecmo a few years ago.)
PS: That reminds me, I still want to do a
Bahn costume one of these days. Anyone else want to do Fighting Vipers costumes with me XD XD XD
