Unlocks are a nice throwback. But this is one of those times I would GLADLY shell out an extra $10 or $20 for unlock keys.
I forgot how ridiculous unlocking stuff in these games were. Let's try to run down the checklist...Seems like I have to run every character through Arcade, Time Attack, and Survival at least once. A Full story mode run through (Gen Fu, Akira, Sarah and 2 Kasumi costumes). Grinding out titles for Pai(100) and Alpha(300) won't be too bad. But getting the rare costumes for Lisa, Tina, and Christie...I might as well start crashing my face into the wall now.

Funny thing. I don't use most of these characters...why DOA. Why you make me a completion whore when it comes to fucking costumes. Ugh.

BTW. I'm hearing rumors of saves getting deleted. so everybody. Back that shit up.

You unlock all the characters if you go through Story mode and do the bonus missions at the same time. By the time you reach Hayate vs Kasumi, you'll unlock Pai.

For the 300 titles, here's some you can get for each character:
You get a title for first using a character
You get a title for doing a character's critical burst
You get a title for doing a character's power blow
You get a title for doing a character's power blow after connecting a critical burst
You get a title for doing a character's attack cliffhanger
You get a title for doing a character's throw cliffhanger
You get a title for doing a character's command training

That's six titles per character right there, and doing one of them gives you two freebies. Six times Twenty-four gives you 144 right there.

oh! you like them recycled Japanese voices don't cha?

I don't care if they're recycled or not. I don't understand what they're saying and it's better than hearing corny shit and bad voiceovers. At least if I read it then it doesn't sound so lame. But whatever floats your boat.

Don't hate. Helena's English voice with that French accent is the sexiest thing ever.

That shit sounds like that hired me to do my best French female voice. Seriously.
 
Played through storyline. Kinda liked the cheese more than the serious ninja battles.

Kinda feel sorry for Christie and Mariposa being complete jobber characters without even a chapter to call their own.

The only thing thats bugging me really is when the game is trying to upload your high score (arcade etc) and it seems to freeze for about a minute

Wow they could have given the VF5 crew updated vocals, you can hear the shitness of their mics when they speak.

That was actually done on part of SEGA, they wanted "authenticity" for the VF characters. Team Ninja simply complied. But yeah, their voices could of done with at least a teensy bit of an update. On the other hand, DOA5's english voices sound almost intentionally bad at times.

So I know I said I was going to be playing Bayman...

...but how come nobody told me Brad Wong was a thing?

Seriously you see this guy? He has STANCES.

Not only that, he DRINKS and can FALL DOWN. That's some shit right there.

Best of all, he's got JAZZ HANDS.

Brad Wong, ladies and gentlemen. Someone help me get better with him.

Brad is a ton of fun. He's got a ton of moves, but you really only need to know about 25% of them. That said, try learning them all.

I played him back in DoA4 and one of my more favorite moves was he fall down stance throw. It's a great whiff punisher and its fast. His 'flamingo' stance also has a JF throw tied to it that's a lot of fun to work with, but hard to execute well.

One of his best moves is 4P, it's not really a stance but this causes him to do a drinking motion that evades highs and you can follow up with a punch or kick attack and it can lead into the fall down stance.

Try to learn how to go directly into his stances. 4P+K for 'flamingo', 2P+K for fall down, and 66P+K for handstand. Finally, try out his 46PPP and 64PPP attack. Seems rather interesting and might lead to some fun times.

Best thing about Brad is that no one plays him so he's very difficult for players to deal with and hard to predict. He's faster in this game than he was in DoA4 and maybe even DoA3.
 
I don't mind the english, but I wouldn't mind if they had the option to switch some voices to Japanese, like with Mahvel.

I love it when Tekken does it, why not let other games get in on the silliness?

BTW, dat Helena voice. Thank you, Karen Strassman, for not screwing it up (IMHO).
 
I love Hitomi's voice :D but I'm getting the game next week and have to ask does it now allow you to skip intros? I played the Alpha demo and like "WTF I CAN'T SKIP THE INTROS" it's time consuming.. >_>
 
I thought Karen Strassman did a wonderful job. Her vocal quality was very similar to Yuka Koyama's voice which I've loved for years.

Also I got the game last night. I visited amazon and it said the thing was delivered and SIGNED FOR. I pulled a wtf for a second as I never noticed anyone nor did I sign for anything. I went outside and saw it was sitting in front of my door. The delivery man must have come by, thrown the thing out there, not even bothering to knock or call and then said it was signed for. What. A. Liar. Way to do a Half-assed job, delivery guy. Anyone who came to the door could have taken the package.
