When Dead Or Alive 5 came out, it was a dream come true because of two words. Pai and Chan. I always wondered what a fight between Pai and Lei Fang would look like, but never believed it would happen. Yet there she was and so was one of my dream matches.
Then, after various repackagings, they made another dream come true. Fatal Fury's Mai Shiranui joined the cast. I mean, the hottest girl in the history of videogames (just admit it) just joined the cast of Dead Or Alive, even if just DLC for one game. Fire and fan-throwing aside, there couldn't have been a more logical fit and bigger dream. Or could there be?
If Mai and Pai can be in DOA5, just imagine who else can be there. Yes, the could be obstacles in terms of mechanics, but they have Mai throwing fans and literally fanning flames. So, without further delay, these are the ten women who need the DOA treatment.
10. Nina Williams (Tekken)
What she lacks in looks, she makes up for with bone-crunching brutality. Imagine what she would look like trading triangle holds with Bayman or brutal strikes with Christie.
9. Saya Tsubaki (Kensei: Sacred Fists)
Yeah, she's not too cute (imagine Jackie Chan in girl shorts), but she uses kenpo, a fighting style you don't see too often in fighting games. Her long strike chains are fun to watch and would fit well in DOA. Plus, the fact that Kensei's style isn't too different from DOA5's much it so that her inclusion (or any Kensei character's, for that matter) wouldn't be too much of a pipe dream.
8. Tifa Lockheart (Final Fantasy)
She's got the look, she's popular enough, and has a fighting style that could work if they do it right. She's need a more fleshed-out move set, but her inclusion would be as much of a dream come true as Mai's.
7. Cammy White (Street Fighter)
Her overall physical appearance would help her fit right in. Plus, she could have a lot of rivals. She could fight Ayane to see who has the better spinning kick, fight Christie to see who's the most badass female, chase down Rig and Donovan, or team up with Bayman (Hey, little girl). Much like Tifa, her movelist will need expanding, but she's as brutal as Nina Williams and hotter to boot.
6. Sakura Kasugano (Street Fighter)
This one is just for looks. Ryu in dress (as she's been called) isn't nearly as unappealing as it sounds. The girl is simply too cute to not be considered. She could have some fun (and funny) interactions with Lei-Fang, Hitomi, Kasumi, Mila, and Ayane. Plus, she would have yet another Ryu to drool over.
5. Leona (King of Fighters)
A tough-looking hot chick whose inclusion would be a direct result of Mai's. If they can put in Mai, why not her? Just imagine the interactions she could have with other, especially Bayman.
4. Katsuragi (Senran Kagura)
They already have some Senran Kagura outfits. Why not have a whole character? Her mechanics might be a challenge to work in, but of all the Senran Kagura characters, her fighting style makes the most sense. She could simply kick her opponents into oblivion. A kick battle against Rig or Zack could be interesting. Also, they let Ayane show up in the most recent Senran Kagura game, so why not borrow one of theirs?
3. Eileen (Virtua Fighter)
The already have Virtua fighter characters, so why not add the one with a fighting style that the others don't have. Honestly, it's a surprise she hasn't been added yet.
2. Asuka Kazama (Tekken)
Cute? Check. Sexy outfit? Check. Good fighting style? Check. Lots of potential rivals? Check. She's the complete package. Adding Asuka (as well as Nina and a few others) to the roster and hinting at a crossover with Tekken is possibly the best thing they could do.
1. Ryofu Housen (Ikkitousen)
They've already added Mai Shiranui, the hottest female in videogame history. Why not add the hottest female in all of anime to the roster. Asuka Kazama (or anyone from Tekken for that matter) would be would a better overall addition, but Ryofu (and maybe a few other Ikkitousen characters, as well) would be the ultimate dream come true.
Honorable Mentions:
Whip (King of Fighters)
She'd be a covered-up, but still hot female to mix things up. Plus, a weapon-user could provide a new type of challenge, though it might be tough to work into the DOA system.
Lili Rochefort (Tekken)
A throwdown between her and Helena (two rich blondes) could be fun to watch. Also, she has a style that isn't represented (Ayane is the only character that feels close to it).
Chun Li (Street Fighter)
With Mai Shiranui already on the roster, they can take advantage of a dream match Capcom vs. SNK made come true and push it to sexy new levels.
Makoto (Street Fighter)
Her fighting style wouldn't be total bull crap in the DOA system and her choke throw looks so brutal, it could make Bass and Bayman cower in fear. She and Hitomi could have a hard-hitting battle.
Laura Matsuda (Street Fighter)
She has the DOA look and, like Makoto, her style wouldn't be total bull crap.
Christie Montiero (Tekken)
Sexy and would bring capoeira to the roster, though Lisa has some capoeira-style moves.
Nakoruru (Samurai Shodown)
Another cute, fully-dressed weapon-user. Whip is hotter, but Nakoruru's short-ranged weapon and moveset would work better in the DOA system.
There you have it. Ten females and seven honorable mentions who need the DOA treatment. Whether it be as DLC for DOA5 or as guest/DLC in future DOA games. Are any of these suggestions too wild? Who would you add?
