I'm waiting to see what happens with all the pre-order stuff in the UK for TTT2. I don't think anything's been confirmed yet, and if it's all going to be free anyway I can wait until it's released on the store.

Pretty sure that all the pre-order stuff (Michelle, Angel, Kuni, Ogre, Snoop Dogg stage and the swimsuits) have been confirmed to be free DLC.

I can't handle playing two fighters at the same time, so I doubt I'll be buying this. Actually Tekken is already too hard for me, but I love the series.

sexiest pic yet:

Spoiler:

BTW i admire tina's patriotism.

my bud got this reserved and is letting me borrow it. he rules

Famitsu gave this a 36/40 score because "the characters have gotten cuter" and "you can take photos from pretty much any angle you can think of".

Also, story mode is about 4 hours long, arcade mode has no boss or endings and the netcode is crap.

Famitsu was right.

Spoiler:

So this is better then TTT2? That is good to hear.

Looks like the game's graphics are not that good either.

Spoiler:

It looks like a Vita game, apart from the resolution. Ryu's character model looks exactly like it does in NGS+

Spoiler:

LOL, dude obviously the male character models look shit.

So in order to unlock all trophies/achievements, and maybe Alpha-152 too, you need 3,000 wins online with every character in the game. That's 72,000 wins in total.

Where are you getting that from?

There is a trophy for unlocking all titles and each character has a "Win 3,000 matches online" title. People with early copies have confirmed this on freestepdodge (the biggest DOA fan site). Also,

- team battle and tag survival modes are out
- many costumes are palette swaps
- the unlockable costumes are hard to get

The palette swap issue isn't a problem for me. King of Fighters Maximum Impact & 2006 had costumes that were palette swaps. Some of which were cool. (Terry Bogard as Sol Badguy, Kim Kaphwan as Raiden (MK), Leona as Lara Croft, etc.)

However, I cannot say the same about the team/tag things. Those sound kinda cool.

moose do you feel like throwing 72000 matches to me?

It doesn't look like there's any more palette swaps than usual.

Thats bullshit Chou:

Are you sure?

Also this one is pretty ridiculous too:

DOA5 Is My Life
Fight online 1000 times.

Note how you are linking 360 achievements

I've never heard of a multiplatforn title getting different trophies and achievements though. So one of the sites should be wrong.

Aaaanyway, Alpha is unlocked when you've unlocked 300 titles.

thats 300 out of 524 titles and takes around 8 hours.

this game feels the same as DOA4 with more unique danger zones, which pretty much means i like it, a lot.

edit: i forgot about the critical bursts . they're easy to do, but the wind up time makes it seem a bit difficult to land

some move sets are slightly changed. i notiiced hayate no longer has that throw that took me a good while to master.

mila may also become my favorite female.

story mode is similar to SC5 in that it's just one story involving multiple characters. it sort of bugged the hell out of me in kasumi's first part when i fought lisa and ayane in a city then suddenly i'm in winter wonderland fighting bayman. so far the story is ass

also, each story fight so far has had a sub objective.

ah, who am i kidding, hitomi is still my favorite. jeans and a white tank top that you can see through when she gets wet

this just became my fav fighter. sorry SC

and either i'm really rusty or this is the hardest DOA i've played

Hitomi's baby face creeps me out. Helena is the only DOA female I like (and Tina to some extent) and even she has a questionable sense of fashion.

Hopefully mhy collector's edition comes by monday, i got an e-mail which i didn't bother reading properly.
