I guess I should have specified that I was talking about Japanese games. Who'd want to play western fighting games in Japanese? :P

They're called weebs.
Just kidding, weebs would just use the ol "If it ain't made in Japan, it ain't good" OS.
Best choice with DoA. While I use the English dubs for most other fighters I play since there are plenty of good ones, the poor voice direction means I stay as far away as possible from the ones in DoA, which also applied to the only Guilty Gear that got one with Xrd -SIGN- (pretty sure I'll be doing the same with Soul Calibur VI thanks to its dub being as subpar as usual for that series). Very much agreed with DyByHands that it just sounds off, and it never ceases to bug me.
I feel like this is where people who care about original language + subs and those who believe that Japanese is always better even when it's not the original language part ways :P I'd consider myself in the former camp. With a few exceptions, I'd always stick to original voice overs when possible.
That being said, I wish SoulCalibur had the same approach as Tekken. It doesn't make sense to have a game that takes place in Europe with the majority of characters being European, and some being Asian, be fully voiced in either Japanese or American English.
I never cared for the approach that Tekken adopted starting in 6. The idea of everyone speaking completely differently languages yet still understanding each other in the story always seemed that much sillier to me than everyone coincidentally speaking the same one.
At least the different languages concept really highlights the different ethnicities aspect + adds some diversity to the voices (which is always nice).
They don't speak. Absurd, yet also a completely different issue than language.
Different characters speak different languages in the new Killer Instinct but on topic do you guys think we will get a demo and if so would it be soon or closer to launch?
If there's a demo, they'll announce it at the DOA Festival. I think it's likely they'll do an online beta test like most games have done recently, but won't do a non-time limited demo since there will be the F2P version soon after launch.
My uncle works at Team Ninja. Christie is now voiced by Camilla Luddington.
They never said that was why they were doing it specifically.
It absolutely is. Never made any sense, even less when they switched artstyles with 5.
I'm glad they're removing it personally. Rest is fine.
Why have you now set this expectation that I will be forever disappointed at Team Ninja for not living up to?
Lol that would be the most unfitting voice for Christie. Maybe Marie Rose or...
Honoka.
A. Once again, people blowing statements out of proportion.
B. This is literally all Honkers has going for her. I'd be like aging Marie Rose.
Yo Mesh!
omg, this would also be the next worst option after Bailey and Lee. Her Lara Croft was awful.
I thought i was alone in thinking that. I don't know really what it was, can't put my finger on it.
She threw lots of American pronunciations into Lara's dialogue. I don't blame just Camilla tho - the Tomb Raider license being in American hands now means the level of care and respect for the character has dropped. But I've no doubt the same would happen again if she did another English character role, hence a "no, thanks" from me to do Christie lol. Honestly tho, I'm sure it will just end up as an American VA doing her if Laura Bailey doesn't return, unfortunately. Prove me wrong, localisation team.
Still no word about a physical special edition for the west. Which is pretty lame, imo. A couple people on freestepdodge, who may know things, mentioned that they have one planned and its just not been announced yet. But, at this point I am finding that kind of hard to believe.
Watched the show, it was fun.
The end DOA6 segment was basically just repeating what has been said on the website about those new characters, so you didn't miss anything if you just wanted to see that (but the DOA5 stuff was great).
Edit: some new interviews/previews up (ign, gameinformer, destructoid...), the one from wccftech seems to be the only really interesting one so far (might confirm Brad, and deconfirm Kiryu).

Now that I'm not on mobile, gameplay and interview from WCCFTech:
And questions about Irene and Kiryu, good read.
Would be incredibly disappointed if doa6 didn't have doa5 like match loading screens
The fact that you can pick your character pick a random costume, random character for the opponent and random stage and you can just do fight again and everything random changes with only a short black screen in between is damn great

I'm not that worried yet, it's similar to preview builds of Tekken 7.Them PS4 loading times...
Hopefully the final loading times won't be like Tekken 7 though...
Yeah, its why ive played 5 so much.
Hopefully its better when 6 out.
Thanks for posting this Eolz! I'm not sure if I like the dinosaur stage but otherwise the game is looking great! Also no Irene? Why... D:
I don't know but he seems to really dislike her based on his answer lol.
Always seen a lot of people asking about her, and she was in DOA Dimensions too, so I'm not sure what he's on about.

Most of Helena's primary move set was changed around, so you won't see me doing many juggles. My other mains, Lisa and Mila weren't in this build, obviously.
I have an interview coming, I just have to transcribe it. Probably won't be up until tomorrow or Wed, but I'll see how much time I have today.
I'll have the direct quote in the interview, but Shimbori was not aware that the characters didn't have navels. He said he'll go back and speak with the design team. They're using a new engine and he suspects that could be causing the issue. I also talked to Master about it, and he said that he's also mentioned the lack of navels, so it looks hopeful that will change.
This is actually me playing Honoka. It was my first time playing that character...

Really good article! Sounds like you're a lot more positive about it than some months ago.
Looking forward to the interview! And wow, didn't expect that about navels, this thread and you might have changed that :D
Thanks. I would say at present there are a lot of opportunities for guaranteed damage. This is still DOA, so you have 90% of moves being unsafe, very few safe stance transitions, etc., but at least once you land a hit, you basically have only one more chance to counter.
The evasive sidestep is nice, but it's still limiting in the DOA engine. Now you have characters that are primarily linear (Helena) having major issues against SS, while a character like Hayabusa can continue to excel since a number of his staple attacks track and he has one of the best throws in the game.
At present, I feel what will make a character top tier in DOA6 are:
- Good sitdown stuns (both stun length and variety of attacks that lead to a sitdown stun)
- Good tracking moves
- Frame advantage on block

Thanks so much for relaying that question. :)
I hope you specified it is just the male characters that lack navels. I fear Shimbori may now look at one of the female characters, which do have navels, shrugs his shoulders and moves on, lol.
I'm for some reason not surprised he hadn't even noticed. ;)
The game was right in front of us, and he didn't believe it at first. He went over to Rig and I showed him directly, then he selected Zack and went in game to see if he could see it there as well.
Not sure if I've stated before, but man do I appreciate the brevity of supers in this game. They are all quick tense-then-release with solid payoff.

You are awesome! :) Showing is better than just telling. So did he realize/acknowledge they were in fact missing?
Thanks for posting this. Im about to read it.
Doing good work there. I hope it gets fixed up. Not that its a big issue but given how good the models look, it does stick out once noticed.
