Yeah, he acknowledged and said he'd talk to the team back in Japan.
You can still do long combos that extend the stun several times if you really want to, but I imagine most competitive players will just stun once and go for something that leads to an unholdable stun for the guaranteed damage. Sitdown stuns are especially powerful now that you can't Slow Escape to avoid guaranteed follow-ups.
Might as well share the other previews I've seen around today (they're not really interesting):

i hate that people are still trying to force outrage over "ANTI SJWs" for this game. People go on about the development team's vision and no censorship of their intent until its something they want to try and do that you specifically dont want, then its not okay. Its just cringe worthy
Obviously saving the best for last. No Christie reveal until the engine has been improved enough.
26 pages in, I finally open the thread to look for actual updates.
And I'm greeted with "GOTY because butt jiggle."
Oy.

It feels like such a strange thing to forget about, but I'm glad he's aware of it now, lol.
Reading through that Destructoid article.
Uh, not with this series Shimbori.
I actually think it might be closer to 50/50 here, whereas in Japan it's probably closer to 90/10 lol. I don't think he was talking specifically about the hardcore fans, but just the "western audiences" in general.
I liked the Game Informer vid. Fun matches even if I knew who would win.
Jesus Christ Shimbori. Is this why the marketing in the West has been a garbage fire?
50/50 would be very generous even here with DoA, I include general audiences in that (I would be more willing to believe that split for Tekken or Soul Calibur by comparison).
Pretty much this.
Gonna scream it for the people in the back, cuz' some of y'all in the comment section apparently didn't hear it:
SOFT ENGINE WAS ALWAYS GONNA BE IN DOA6, JUST WITHOUT THE NAME
"Local dong physics enthusiast grows stronger by the day."
I like Brad Wong, Jann Lee certainly keeps players who want a Bruce Lee equivalent happy, and I'm sure there are some who find Zack's Dennis Rodman gimmick entertaining. That said, I have no reason to believe that any of them are anywhere near as popular as the lead of Ninja Gaiden.
To be honest, if you're not going to back anything up with data, I'd be more willing to believe someone on the inside working on the game.
They claimed that the previous engine was actually rather old and the new engine allows them to do more advanced things with lighting and presentation. Paraphrasing.
Feel free to believe that this series of all things is even close to one where the men are actually more popular in the West, that something like that honestly needs hard data to figure out (or that he even made that statement using any). Shimbori says a lot of things, and they've come across as about as insightful as what's usually the case when a developer attempts to handle PR.
The same series that relied on the support of Xbox users for one and a half generations, a brand that the Japanese couldn't care less about, during which time a subseries focused entirely on cheesecake as opposed to men frolicking on the beach was introduced, was ever one carried by how much people care about the men?

Skidrow is great yeah (although most of his stuff is nsfw)
I don't particular care for the way he draws women, but the male character fanart looks great.
He never specifically mentioned DOA when he said that, though. He may have been talking about male characters generally, like this is a ploy to get more Western interest in the game.
I think what he said was partially mistranslated. I recall an interview around the time DOA5 Last Round came out mentioning that characters like the wrestlers (specifically mentioning Bass and Tina, no one else) were the most popular in western regions with casual players whereas Japan liked the cutesy girls. I would also agree that Ryu Hayabusa is probably more popular worldwide than all of the other male characters combined.
Characters like Jann Lee and Zack certainly have their fans, but the majority of the male characters are not all that popular or even well known. I think Diego is going to be especially unpopular even if he seems like a heavily focus tested character.

It's cool that he can draw women and men equally attractive. :) It's often just one-sided.
Zack gets a lot of burn and play. Some of the male vharacters are fairly popular, just look at the Jann Lee Rig Zack and Tommy numbers.
Not sure how muchbof you plqued as the game went on but there was good variety.

Yeah his art is great. Wanted to post his sc6 Ivy with a scarf a while ago in the Sc thread because its a small detail but for some reason the scarf just works, but Ivy's design to begin with + his proportion for female character probably too nsfw for the forum. The Ryu he did a few days ago looks sick as well

The sumo character people were asking for?
Edit: hmmm, fighting style that never appeared in any major fighting game series. So not sumo then, wonder what that is.
Sounds like the character could be like Mila too in terms of personality?
I still don't understand how that 3 way vs 4 way holds will work. Online someone chooses 3 way vs 4 way? If there are no disadvantages for 3 way then no one will pick 4 way. Why guess 1/4 when you can guess 1/3? What will be the tournament standard? I don't like this at all. 3 way always dumbed down gameplay because it eliminated the mid kick-mid punch mixups.
Yeah I think everyone kind of gave up on understanding this choice as well.
Tournament standards will probably be 4-way though.
