They kinda play the same as they did in VF

thanks mkwhopper for the answers to my questions.

by the way who do you guys/girls use for your top 5 mains.

Hitomi, Mila, Kokoro, Kasumi, and Ayane. Mostly Hitomi but I'm trying to get better with Mila.

Kasumi, Hayate, Ayane - as always.
I have also found Rig rather enjoyable.
Not sure who my 5th choice would be, though I do like using Helena and Christie as a tag team. But I think it would be Sarah, as she is my favourite VF character and I like how she plays in this game as well. ^^

So I guess my list would look something like this:

Kasumi
Hayate
Ayane
Sarah
Rig

I can't stand Mila or Brad, those are truly the worst two characters of the bunch. Zack is annoying as hell, but I like his playstyle. Never liked Akira, and Pai is really annoying to fight against, even on the lower difficulties. I have yet to try anything harder than Normal difficulty, because I simply do not think I am good enough yet.

Gonna train more with Hayate though, since I still don't feel ike I'm that good with him yet. I think he was best in DOA3, I kinda miss that somersault stance he had in that game.

Ryu
Ayane
Kasumi
Hayate
Don't really have a 5th one.

@J-R: Brad pisses me off.

EDIT: 1st DLC Pack coming out October 2nd

My top 5? Hmm...

Ryu
La Mariposa
Tina
Brad
Pai

Rig and Sarah would be right up there as well.

how many characters and stages are in this game.

how many attires does each character have.

Free DLC costumes tomorrow.

IGN gave DOA5 an 8.8
G4 gave it a 3.5/5

Wonder who's review is more accurate?

Reviews are subjective, neither is right and neither is wrong. One person simply liked the game more than the other.

Yeah, review scores aren't definite factors, just based on the opinion of the reviewer. Never take any review literally.

does this game support custom soundtrack. if it does what's some of your playlists.

It doesn't, but I quite like the soundtrack in the game. ^^

If I were to pick 2 people to play, I'd choose Mila and Christie.

Those 2 are badass.

I really don't see the appeal of Mila. She's got potential as an MMA fighter, however, her movelist is incredibly short and her moves are really bland and plain. There's nothing special about her at all. I like her hair, but that's about it.

And unlike the other female characters, she doesn't really have any revealing outfits

I think she's really fun to play as but then again that's just me. I like her takedown moves and I actually find her lack of endless combo strings kind of refreshing actually. Forces you to have to play a bit more defensively and exploit mistakes with takedowns/submissions/ground pounds.

And she's cute haha.

Which isn't one of the problems I was addressing, as I don't care about how revealing the outfits are, but more how interesting the design is.

I was gonna say, she doesn't have to have revealing outfits to be interesting. I just like Mila in general.

lol I know. Yeesh >.>

Has anyone seen the new DLC pack yet? Some of the costumes are ok but the most are recycled costumes from past games and repeats of existing costumes for different characters.

I honestly think this sucks. If TN really listens to their fans, then from what I saw, we'll be getting nothing but old/recycled costumes from here on out. Sometimes I believe fans just need to let the people that make the game do what they do best...

I'd prefer original costumes but ultimately it doesn't matter. What DOES bug me is how much the costumes cost. WAY too expensive for just costumes. Maybe I'm being spoiled and unreasonable but come on.

Yeah, the new DLC costume pack is definately not worth the money. The only one I liked was Tina's cat outfit and I am not willing to pay that much for a pack of costumes where I only like one of them.

Hopefully Hayate and Kasumi will soon have some cool outfits in the same pack.

I've recently picked up Sarah. I like her a lot. Except her edge triple combo...or whatever it's called. I can only get it to go though by luck...but she's fun to play as

Any word on whether there will be any more DLC?
