" I have to wonder how many Virtua Fighter fans would've picked Yuki for the crossover. "
Yea....not me. He's easily the most bland character on that roster. I can think of 3 or 4 better choices.

I really like the new art direction for this game. I'm glad the female characters all seem to actually look different this time around, and not just like large-breasted porcelain dolls.
Wow. They include a character from another game and they decide to include the most boring one possible.
Call me when they put El Blaze in the game. That guy was awesome.

Even Dural would have been less non-descript than Akira Yuki and she doesn't even have a face! Why not just throw in the guys from Karate Champ while they are at it?
So in order to shed the image of being a poor man's Virtua Fighter, DOA is getting a Virtua Fighter character in their game.
Akria's going to kill all those poor DOA characters with his stun palm of doom.

Waited for over 6 years for a DOA game and its shit.
I'm saddened.

Somehow the characters look even more like dolls than before. Less stylized, more "porcelain human".
Eh, I've been looking forward to DOA5 for a while, but I'm not at all sold on its current direction, and guest characters have always been something I've grudgingly accepted at best.
At least the stages look nice.

DOA originally used the VF2 engine.
Akira is probably the most complex fighter in VF, if you have complexity, you don't need style.
People calling VF mediocre and uninteresting have never played the game past "HURR I CANT BUTTON MASH"
DOA's reversal system is pretty amazing when used properly, and turns doa from a michael bay explosion fest into a cautionary tale.

Eh,Akira is the most boring looking of the Ryu's (followed by Ryu) but I guess he would do as a cameo,plus he is pretty fun to play as.
Virtua Fighter are the greatest fighting games in existence, none of this comeback mechanic crap, its pure complexity, when 2 people who know their characters equally fight its fucking glorious.
Some of the greatest VF matches I ever had where against Akiras, just wall to wall awesomeness.

lol @ people dissing akira. it seems very few know what true fighting is. and akira is a rip off of ryu?? pure ignorance XD
Akira is the TRUE karate master champ, he actually uses true karate moves, Ryo Sazaki and Takuma are behind.
what does Ryu have? fireball and upper cut? LOL don't make me laugh. Akira would beat the shit out of ryu before he could even throw a fireball

I wouldn't have been one to ask for character crossovers in DOA (though I did dig Nicole), but I won't turn it down. I'd like to see more than just the one guy from the one game. I know DOA fans are something of a minority when it comes to the fighting game community as a whole, but are there enough Virtua Fighter fans out there that would be interested in this?
Agreed Prince, anyone who calls Akira a Ryu rip-off has no idea what they're talking about.
@Jynx
I think this is more aimed at Japanese fans, VF is HUGE in Japan and DOA is also still played there, its only in America where Capcom's garbage reins supreme.

@PrinceHeir People are talking about his art design, not his moveset FFS. Good job flexing your ego, now we all know you're the master of fighting games. -_-
I think a Virtua Fighter character would go well with DOA's tempo of fighting. I'd challenge any players to try mastering the stun palm combo. Satisfying to pull off, difficult to master.
Now, will Sega consider lending a character from Fighting Vipers? That needs an HD overhaul.

Good Lord,maybe next time I should write LOOKING in all caps so people realize that I was talking about character design and not playstyle,wouldn't want to hurt the feeling of the delicate flowers in this site,now.
Good thing that I didn't write that Fei-Long is the most boring looking Bruce Lee,they would have written a 5000 word essay about how stupid I am since Bruce Lee didnt use fire kicks.

lol im no way near those japanese virtua fighter playersto be honest.
im just a regular player who enjoys fighting games and the art in creating in them.
though i play Tekken seriously, i just appreciate what Virtua Fighter has done in gaming. i just don't like people saying like how Akira is a Ryu rip off or KOF is a poor man's street fighter(even though the creator of SF1 made KOF and pretty much every SNK fighting game, thus KOF could be an evolution of what SF should have been)
again im sorry if i come out like a jackass. i mean no harm despite how negative my comment came to be. i love the people in this site(well except for 1-2 persons) but overall sorry once more and i should definitely lighten up since it's been a pretty busy day in college.
oh and sorry to you OrangeArmy, i mean no harm to you.
so who's the avatar??? is that from 999???

No harm done,it's all good. Anyways, it's actually Gavaya from Suikoden V,one of my favorite games ever.

The real story here is how fucking amazing is this game looking!? Love the change in art style and the ongoing damage and dirt that appears and everything else. I don't think, this far into the series, DOA is going to win over any new fans, but whether you like the gameplay or not I think it's quite impossible to argue that this isn't the most ridiculously beautiful fighter around. Fingers crossed they don't fuck it up wasting that and their time on DOAX3 or whatever swimsuit contest bollocks.
I dont get what you all are complaining about. The game looks really good compared to what I've seen from the old ones (never actually played a DoA game before)and i think all the cinematics look pretty cool as well.
