Thread 723901725

Why isn’t she getting more included compared to Ayane?

-She’s canonically the stronger fighter, basically OP in the universe.
-Designed as the most beautiful female in-universe
-pretty much always beats her half sister in tits too

This was answered in an interview way back when.
Essentially, Ninja Gaiden is meant to represent the gritty underworld side of the DOA universe. Itagaki thought that a pure heroine like Kasumi wouldn't really fit the violent, blood and gore gameplay of NG and I agree with him. Notice how Kasumi only (properly) shows up in the series in 3 which is after Itagaki left.

>>723902997
I do get some of that I guess as she does have a softer character mostly but DoA shows she can and will get serious if she needs to.
Also, considering the threats to the DoA/NG universe posed by the villains in NG, it just feels strange Kasumi does not get involved, because next to Ryu, she’s the most powerful character in the franchises so it would feel like common sense she would get asked to at least give Ryu a hand.

Why isn't Honoka in the game?

>>723902997
This, Ayane is the designated "dirty work" Mugen Tenshin ninja girl

>>723903895
You make it sound so...dirty

>>723901725 (OP)
its so funny to know doa and ng are in the same universe. like, most of the doa fighters seem like chumps in the grand scheme

>>723903670
She would fit fan-service wise, but in boobs only. She doesn’t have the overall beauty of Kasumi if they would want to add the most eye candy though. Character wise, she would not fit at all in NG.

>>723901725 (OP)
Too boring and bland, NG has an edge to its characters and she would stick like a sore thumb in comparison.
Ayane is a bit of a dick so she fits, also less boring.

>>723902997
I just feel Kasumi would offer both, more fan-service, eye-candy as well as fighting ability compared to Ayane. And I actually like Ayane but all in all she just is a worse Kasumi kinda

>>723904213
I guess the “boring” part of Kasumi’s character is mostly because of how her story went in DoA. She is always chased and hunted and just seems to try to lay low. At the same time they make it clear she just effortlessly beats everyone and everything if they do get her out of hiding or confront her. I think with the right story, one could do much with her character. She’s more like a more quiet heroine that does not want to stick out. That alone would have potential to make for a likeable character arc in NG imo

>>723903981
Slicing dudes to pieces isn't exactly conducive to staying clean, duh!

and yet ayane is still better

>>723908351
nta but teen Ayane and Kasumi were the best, after DOA4 they got ruined and wasted imo. NG4 Ayane is just dogshit

>>723901725 (OP)
They should retcon this to say it was Phase 4 going on a rampage.

>>723903670
Her OT should be bearhugging a guy till his body explodes.

>>723908762
I love Phase 4. Kasumi but with even less happiness and double the depression.

>>723902997
Why not turning Kasumi into Psylocke/X-23 mutant hybrid?

>>723901725 (OP)
she is not canonically the strongest fighter, she is a fledgling renegade ninja who abandoned her clan to find her brother, in DOA2 Ryu and Ayane are both trying to assassinate her for leaving the clan, and they are both much more skilled and higher ranked shinobi than she is

>>723913414

Dumb DOAfag, who knows what Momiji's role in the Ninja Gaiden series after Dragon Sword would be had Itagaki stayed.

>>723913414
Kashmi is much stronger than Ayane, literally won every fight, and holding back at that. Only Ryu is stronger than Kasumi.

>>723913414
What the fuck are you on? Kasumi mops the floor with Ayane, hell, even Hayate. Kasumi is surprisingly strong as fuck.

>>723917790
Kasumi putting the rape baby in her place.

>>723909445
She's the best.
Put her in NG4 please Plat

Fuck off Kasumifags

NG is an Ayane series

>>723918673
Only because Itagaki had to intentionally leave Kasumi out of it, Ayane is a mere substitute.

RIP the kings

>>723919015
Shitsumi stay gone

>>723901725 (OP)
If you followed the story of DOA/Ninja Gaiden, you'd know. Kasumi was exiled and Ayane/Ryu are suppose to be hunting her. They tend to just let her go after finding her. But basically if she showed up in a NG game, she'd need to be part of the plot. And NG always has some dumb side plot about monsters and evil organizations.

>>723918673
>>723919156
So who best kunoichi?

>>723903670
Agree. Not enough gyaru and ganguro skin.

She's not a ninja

>>723920645
Ayane.

>>723924501
'Til the end of time. Asuka btw

How can you top this

>>723917428
This exactly. Ryu is probably canonically the strongest character, but Kasumi is still second after him.

>>723924948
Mirai Viola (Bayo 3)

>>723924296
She was raised by grandmother and self-taught martial arts. I'm like 90% she isn't associated with any of the clans. That like saying Zack and Tina should be in Ninja Gaiden 5. Not that they shouldn't but honesty I don't know why their creating new character rather than bring in existing ones

>>723917428
Let's be honest. Kasumi always wins because she has plot armor. Even in the games, Kasumi says Ayane is the stronger one. But there's always some story event that helps her.

Kasumi also has been captured multiple times. But again, the story also bails her out.

>>723925068

>>723923587
isn't she..?

looks like anon has some explaining to do.

>>723917428
Ayane's relationship with Kasumi sounds similar to Hanabi Hyuga's relationship with Hinata Hyuga (Naruto Uzumaki's wife). I wonder if Masashi Kishimoto took inspiration from the D.O.A. series. (At one point it was so popular that Naruto series received its own terrible last movie.)

>>723911362
She's basically a DOA girl at this point.

>>723929638

CERO would never…

NGfags are literal homos who deserve Yasuke, DOAchuds are a minority fanbase who thinks they have clout but they don't and have never mattered at all.

>>723925325
>Even in the games, Kasumi says Ayane is the stronger one.
Why do you lie this blatantly and think someone who actually plays Dead or Alive rather than fap at SFM porn wouldn't call you out?

Not only Kasumi says to Ayane on her face that she is stronger, but outright passively boasts that Ayane will never defeat her.

Marie Rose DLC when?

>>723920570
>Ayane/Ryu are suppose to be hunting her.
You tell others to follow the story and say shit like this? Ryu isn't supposed to hunt Kasumi, she is an exile from her Mugen Tenshin clan, Ryu doesn't need to do anything regarding other clans issues, he cares for Dragon Ninja Clan duties.

That technicality is exactly why Kasumi was taking refuge in the Hayabusa Village, the Mugen Tenshin couldn't forcefully intrude in another clan to take Kasumi out, and Hayate as the current leader finds a loophole in that situation, where he as the Mugen Tenshin leader can claim he cannot invade a clan as important and friendly as the Dragon Ninja clan, while as Ryu's friend he can trust his sister will never be hunted as long as she stays in that clan.

>>723917790
Isn't kasumi bothered her bare ass is exposed to the freezing weather?

Since Ryu is the top dog, I'd like to see Kasumi vs Yakumo in an all out deathmatch for second place.

>>723932020
She is a trained warrior, Ryu in Nnja Gaiden 3 outright says he doesn't feel cold when he is asked why he is going around in a leather suit deep in the ice mountains. Kasumi isn't too far behind in prowess so it doesn't bother her either.

>>723932162
Kasumi is strong but Yakumo has similar ancestry to Ryu, descending from dragon deities, Kasumi has no super genes backing her so Yakumo has the edge on this one.

>>723932297
>>723932162
Mai Shiranui have one powerful technique: boobs jiggle

Ayane's better because she has a personality, kek

>>723929748
Hinata is the elder sister, untalented who has to work hard, while Hanabi is the younger and talented sister. Not the same dynamic. Kasumi is the elder sister and the stronger one, Ayane has been trying to grow stronger than Kasumi since they were kids, turning worse when Ayane was the told the truth of her existence: she is a rape baby from the clan's greatest traitor and enemy.

Who the princess here?

>>723934437
Ryu is the strongest ninja, but after him Kasumi ranks pretty high in Dead or Alive, she defeated her uncle Raidou who destroyed her older brother Hayate so hard they thought he had died, and Ayane lost all canon fights when she was still burning with jealousy and was tasked with hunting her down.

DOATEC dedicated a whole cloning program for Kasumi because they see her as the perfect tool to make an army out of.

Is the game dedicated to Oatmeal-san?
Only just found out now he died

>>723934961

That's silly. She's a woman. Unless you want to pacify the opposing arny with sexbots.

>>723934437
Yeah, Ryu is the strongest by a mile. He 3-0'd the Dark Dragon which nearly killed NG4 endgame Yakumo with the Dark Dragon Blade. Being able to ALMOST TOUCH Ryu is enough to make anyone a top 10 in the NGDOANiohverse which consists of a lot of fightan niggas. Here's how I see the pecking order of that universe.

>>723903670
Literally can't. As-is, she's too soft a character.
She's got Raidou's maximum hornball technique-stealing genes though, so if you flash-forwarded a little bit, you could put her on a real psycho path. But the fanbase wouldn't accept Honkers becoming a hardcore villain.

>>723917790

They give Ryu his DOA fighting style in one of the future NG games. Just straight hand to hand and teleports.

Itagaki never wanted to put Kasumi in NG though. The moment he was gone they put her in and had her mercilessly slicing dudes to bits which is completely against her character as someone who fights only reluctantly and only kills if you harm her loved ones.

>>723935663

>>723913414
Hayate get kidnapped by DOATEC between DOA 1 and 2 to be a test subject for their super soldier research (Project Epsilon). When Kasumi comes to search for him, she is captured and is subsequently found to be genetically superior to Hayate, so they wipe his memories and dump him in Germany, where Hitomi finds him and teaches him karate and names him Ein. Kasumi also canonically defeats Ayane in every fight they've ever had except during the third tournament where Ayane was extra motivated to win to face her foster father. The only ninja stronger than Kasumi is Ryu. Ryu > Kasumi > Hayate > Ayane. All four are degrees more powerful than any other DOA fighter

>>723938246
Out of character indeed. Even Batman have no kills rule.

>>723923587
Hayate and Ayane were going to teach her how to control her Raidou powers after DOA6, which presumably would include some ninja training. If NG 4 is set several years after that, she could be a fully trained ninja now, considering it was Raidou and her ability to pick up techniques almost instantly, she'd be a fast learner.

>>723925325
When did Kasumi ever say Ayane was stronger than her?

>>723939009
Never, dude is talking out of his ass.

>>723902997

Kasumi lost the popularity for Ayane and Rachel. Honoka came close too.
Rachel is basically the face of Dead or Alive nowadays..

>>723939945
She's older than Ayane by a few months

>>723939426
Ninja Gaiden isn't the standard good vs. evil fanfare, before you fight demons/fiends Ryu is killing foes who just happen to be on the opposite side of the conflict. Kasumi hates fighting for superficial reasons like that.

Can't think of a bigger upgrade than this. I never cared for Ayane's hairstyle. That bandanna did her no favors either. But now she's amazing

WHY THE FUCK IS 4 $70??? WHAT THE FUCK

Greed.

>>723901725 (OP)
she's pretty fucking fun in 3, that grab move really sets her apart from everyone else

>>723945125
Seriously. In a game where enemies are constantly blocking and dodging shit, being able to throw them made the combat make sense.

man i have to take frequent break during levels but pausing still counts the timer. fuckin cucky as hell

>Yakumo is edgy as his appearance depicts him to be
>but not towards his friends

>>723901725 (OP)
Well there's a game called 'Ninja Gaiden 4' and Ryu isn't even in the fucking thing so it's safe to say NG is dead.
you can forget about extra character. they didn't even bother porting Ryu properly or giving more than 5 combo strings to the faggot you play as for the whole game.

>>723945125
>guaranteed steel on bone

bros, have any of you found Ayane's Kunai on the Dragon's Maw chapter? this is my third run through trying to find it.

>>723935961
Hi jerid

So how did you guys feel when you got Izuna Dropped by Ryu?

>>723947443
I found it brothers it's not even on Dragon's Maw despite the mission saying it is. It's on chapter 11 after the first fight, go through the door and it's on your left.

>>723928841
>>723932001
I'm not watching it but I know he right, Ayane is being wasted by not having her own game, they should also add Kasumi and Sonia as a gun wielder, so many characters that we will never see again then again can you really blame Team Ninja when every non Nioh game of theirs is a flop

>>723902997
That’s fair, Kasumi is too pure and perfect

how could we squeeze Marie Rose into this campaign?

>>723948432
Here's your Ayane game bro

>>723947237
oh look it's the faggot twink repeating the same shitty weightless platinum animations because this game has less combo variety than NG1, an Xbox game from 2004

>>723949313
some people are coping and will tell you to wait for the inevitable dlcs that will come

>>723933116
This is the actual truth. Ayane is layered and has actual conflict which makes her interesting. Kasumi is barebones straightforward and therefore boring.

>he never set his age to 99

S tier game, replayability feels low. You can play as Ryu sure but he was less interactive than Yakumo and it's just the same old master ninja shtick. Felt like they could have done a little more for it.

>>723930024
Damnnn

>>723951931
Why would it be low? MN is supposed to be played with all the shit from the start and you can choose ryu or yakumo.
You also get new missions

>>723920645
Marie Rose

>>723952281
No new enemies and no new moves just feels like a cop out in this day and age? Idk I just expected more than enemy density. The new missions are whatever mostly just hp increase upgrades and some weapon specific talismans. Also Ryu's moveset is just copy pasted into the dark dragon blade when you unlock it move for move making his whole character obsolete outside of his unique ninpo.

>>723951931
>that chapter 2 score
i need details on how that's possible

>>723952672
I messed with the auto-wallrun/grapple/rail shit and if you change to it regardless of if you change it back you get no score for the chapter you enable it. Same thing if you go to hard>normal or even normal>hard for whatever reason.
