Goodbye, Ayane-chan...
>>738903609?
>>738903609soul
>>738903989Her voice actress, Wakana Yamazaki, has passed away aged 61.
The ninja world will never be the same without that voice.
>>738904050Damn, I wonder what caused it because Japanese people tend to be long lived
>>738904114I remember hearing that she had to stop working a few months ago due to illness. I thought in that moment that it might potentially be the last we hear of her voice acting, but I really didn't expect her to pass away. Japanese media actors are so reserved and quiet about that sort of stuff that it can really come out of nowhere.
>>738904321It has to be pneumonia since it's the weather this year is getting much worse. Japanese old people are falling flies like crazy.
A lot of japanese people are suddendly dying. thoughted they lived all the way to their 80s not their 50s 60s, what is happenerino? Not even old age.
>>738904581Probably the sodium and late nights creating sky high blood pressures that could crush a rock.
Tragic... Rest in peace.
>>738904050Her other roles
>>738905039Grim, the composer for Konan also died today. Maybe they wanted to fuck off from this gay earth together.
>>738905039Good lord, those teeth.
>>738905119This Earth is getting pretty gay. When my time comes I'll happily exit with the knowledge you faggots will be suffering more than I will.
>>738904581>>738903609Can't talk about Japanese going relatively young and DOA without Itagaki who died at 58 or 59?
>>738903609What the fuck? She was young, especially by jap standardsRIP
>>738905215Well that man is a rockstar, 59 is a grand old age
>>738905294Keith Richards and Mick Jagger are still alive through their 80s. Itagaki never lived full life regardless.
>gooners can't keep it in their pants for 5 secondsyou faggots are the scum of the earth, thank God you will never breed
RIP best fatty
>>738905215
>>738905039Her biggest role by far here is Ran, who the hell are they going to get to replace her?
>>738905363It's gachafags specifically, and unfortunately we have them to thank for DOA existing at all after 6 flopped
>>738905363it's the resident twitter spammera trve VVchad would at least post ayane
>>73890405061? what the fuckliterally still young
>>738905039aw fuckRIP
>>738905447I wanted Reika because she has big tits, but the latest banner was inly willing to give me Meg.Ah, what am I complaining about, I love the little slacker. Railing Meg behind the shed during her slack off time! Plap plap plap!
>>738905437Her best roles is in Digimon, Star Ocean and DOA. Ayane is a very huge role being Kasumi's half-sister.
>>738904519pneumonia is just code for kysing yourself
>>738905554Those are all literal nothing roles compared to Conan.
>>738905363pathetic insect doesn't even get replies
>>738905437Apparently there is already a replacement for her ever since her illness was announced. It's a voice actress that Yamazaki actually replaced once, when that VA was on maternity leave.
>>738905653>Those are all literal nothing roles compared to Conan.Believe me Ayane from DOA is very notable.
who will replace her in DOA7?
>>738905864And more importantly, VV?
>>738905864Too soon but it's gonna be Maaya Uchida or someone who's an older veteran seiyuu.
>>738905039I must salute and give respect to one who voiced a wrestle angelRIP
>>738905780The scale is totally different. Imagine if Pokemon wasn't shit and Misty was in every episode for 30 years, with 30 movies. That's the kind of role I'm talking about here.
Ran is about to sound weird as fuck.
>>738905864>>738905878It's going to be a younger VA, I'd be surprised if its also a boomer
>>738905528
I hope they give kasumi bigger breast in 7
>>738906135Kasumi is gonna be a MILF, screencap this.
>>738905878die coombrain
if they're recasting her they need to go youngerstop giving old boomers voiceover jobs
>>738905119>composer for KonanThe one who died was the composer of the second Lupin III series.
>>738905594>>738905119In small neighbourhoods, filled with old people, whenever the seasons change they anounce through the intercom speakers they have set-up throughout the town>As the weather is getting, cold/hot please remember to wear extra layers of clothing/drink water.
>>738906203Ahaha, I did make the post to invoke this response, sorry bro mb haha
>>738906289>stop giving old boomers voiceover jobsNo.
>>738906289The replacement they got for her for Conan does sound good. But really I think they could just retire the character. It's a 30 year old series that has been winding down for a while now.
>>738906424Ayane? Vidya characters get recasted a lot from time to time, unless they really want to commit to someone's cast death (like old Campbell in Metal Gear)
>>738905039>Ran MouriMy love...
>>738904581It's more Okinawans specifically that are very long lived.
>>738906413>>738906424voice acting should be a baton passed on from one person to the next after a decade or twonot a lifetime job
>>738903609RIP in peace. I really like Ayane's voice, it has a nice blend between kinda emotionless but still sassy.
>>738906332noooo im senile
RIP.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkPKLyDriRY
>>738904581It's their boomers who live long, those who crashed the economy in the 80's and retired in the 90's, same as the west, boomers live in better condition than any gen x/millenial/zoomer
>>738906541>not a lifetime jobRoles should be earned as long as you're capable of doing it for a very long time till you ready to retire or die. Many seiyuus kept their roles till their timely death or retirement.
>VV fags pretending to care about ayaneShe rarely if ever gets posted in VV spammer threads it's always some stupid random gacha slop girl
Keith Richards outlives another one
>>738906786nah she's fairly popular
>>738906786The gacha slop girls are endearing. A whole bunch of them are pretty slutty.
>>738906424>It's a 30 year old series that has been winding down for a while now.Makes me think how many people did Conan indirectly kill in the show (considering everywhere he goes there's always a corpse)A hundred? two hundred?
>>738906839Not in the VV threads.
>>738906424>they could just retire the character.The literal point of the show is Conan getting his body back so he can fuck Ran, how the fuck do you retire the character without ending the show?
Maybe we'll get that action game starring Ayane, when we all make it to the other side.
>>738906786the twitter spammer only posts girls he finds on the #doaxvv tagif no jap screenshot guy posts ayane or some normal girl he's not going to spampost themthat's why he's always posting momiji and kokoro, because those two girls are always posted on the #doaxvv tag
>>738906424it just got a new theatrical release past year the fuck you talking about?
>>738905039>all the characters in there>the only one I recognize immediately is from toshinden 3At least I'm /v/idya.
>>738906786Ayane is violent, standoffish while Penis Vacation girls all adore the self-insert to some degree.
>>738907187she's a tease
>>738906975>The literal point of the show is Conan getting his body back so he can fuck RanConan ain't that stupid. >>738907101Wakana did the 10th movie before she passed. That movie will surpass that Japanese box offices this weekend in remembrance of her.
>>738905363
>>738907062spamming is against the rules
>>738907178Meg WOULD be down for a threesomeNow who else would join? I feel like >Sayuri is always down. >Tamaki is too possessive I feel. >Shandy is a diceroll. >Tsukushi you could bully into and/or say "it's good reference material">Nyo would, but not with someone as laid back as Meg>Tina would do it for the SNS>Luna maybe>Patty abso-fucking-lutely
RIP
>>738907348DOAs aren't sluts and will never share, you'd get your balls kicked and everyone will rat you out for cheatingExcept for certain rare cases like Lobelia and Fiona
>>738905039>>738904050Rip
>>738903826>>738903609It's insane how superior the original art direction is to the realanime they have now.
>>738907348meg will just lay there like a dead fish, making you do all the work
>>738907730Finally someone in this thread with common sense!
>>738907730Well one is a shitty mobage
>>738903609>61 years oldgod fucking damnit, Hideyuki Nori is 72 years old too
>>738906786>pretending to careI thought they were just derailing the thread like all the DOA threads that aren't related to their gacha.
>>738908965That too. gacha fags are scum
>>738905039HARPY NO
>>738908965as if anyone is gonna pick up their gacha with their ps3 graphics
>>738908965The same thing will happen when DOA7 is released
>>738909113DOA7 will get derailed by the censorshipfags
>>738909113I remember trying to discuss combos in DOA6 when it came out, only to get gachalop images that all looked the same.
>>738909171all threads (minus the indian ones from microshart and sony) will be derailed

>>738903609F for FAT
>>738905039Man I don't know any of them.
>>738905392I guess Itagaki and Harada weren't that close friends after all, seeing how the former revealed that he was going to die to some European journalist(?) and let him be the bearer of bad news when he passed.
>>738909347>Kasumi shares her VA with Sakura Kinomotoexplains why I like her the most

>>738909847They should recast everyone above 50 but Kokoro's VA is literally cute
>>738905192Based spite driven male.
>>738909847recast leifang, helena, christie, lisa, tina, rachel and momijikeep kasumi, kokoro until they're 55~recast the 30-40 year olds when they hit 50, starting with hitomigrills in their 20s keep the gig until they hit 40, then they also get recast as long as doa existsguest characters can be whatever, it really doesn't matter
>>738904050>61Jesus, that's still too young.Rest in peace, Miss Yamazaki

>>738905363It's a tribute, fag.
>>738910449>pretending bikinis weren't specifically invented to be sexually titillatingI don't disagree with your underlying argument but you picked one of the worst examples to use to support it
>>738910527Y-you DO go to the beach to masturbate?
>>738910595I go to ogle the women intentionally putting their bodies on display because they enjoy the attention, yes.
Damn... Ayane was always my favorite DOA.I hope they can find a good VA to replicate her bitchiness.
I love Kasumi! And RIP to her Seiyu. It's crazy to think she's been voicing her since DOA2.
>>738911009Miji needs this suit
>>738909347>Momiji (Yuko Minaguchi) = 59MOMiji
>>738911196Lazy needs to make a massive Momiji set
>>738912258okay this is a good onebut you're still a fuckhead twitter spammer
Damn, and the news I saw said it's the VA for some "Ayame".
Did you guys know that there was going to be a Dead or Alive MMO? This MMO game was going to be like SF6's world tour mode but online. Doa did almost everything.
>>738903609>>738904050>>738905039Rest in piss shitty vile hag. Finally someone young who actually fits the role will be the VA.
>>738912590Ayame aka Kasumi and Ayane's mum is also voiced by Kasumi's VA.
>>738903609>>738904050>>738905039Rest in peace. That's a pity, her voice is great. DOA2 was the first game that convinced me to play with Japanese VA whenever available.
>>738909347Why are all of the women voiced by grannies?
>>738913780Cuz this is an unc-ass franchiset. An Unc
>>738913780The OGs were hired when they were in their late 20s/early 30s.The DOA5 crew was the same, it's just 15 years later. Some of the VV VAs were hired due to VAtism like Nagisa, Kanna and Elise. Then there's Azusa's voice actress who was a known fan of the franchise.
>>738913981Azusa's VA plays DoA? neat
>>738913780>no crossplay>no rollback>same shitty costume unlocks>have to pay for Mai and Kula again>incomplete TC and Prism outfits for Marie Rose, Honoka, Tamaki and Kokoro
>>738914024She's an Aussie-Nip Jewtuber who was always on Penis Vacation livestreams. She plays on both DMM and Steam and mains Azusa.
damn man ayane was always best girl
not gonna be able to look at the bird poop picture without feeling sad now
>>738913981>DOA5 was 15 years agothe FUCK?
>>738903609She died last month on the 18th, highly likely that she was already recasted for all of her roles by the time she took a sabbatical and/or was hospitalized.VV doesn't have fully voiced lines outside of True Colours events (Ayane won't get one anytime soon and if ever) and birthdays (her birthday is in August; either those were prerecorded making it one of Wakana's final lines or they already have a new voice actress for the role).DOA7 is still in development and Yakuhomo's game bombed so there's not going to be a new Ninja Gaiden anytime soon. They could churn out a remaster of NG3 but those wouldn't need new lines.
>>738914567It released in 2011 Anon and was released multiple times with Plus, Ultimate and Last Round.
>>738903609NG4 is so bad it killed Itagaki and Ayane's seiyuu

>>738914785>NG4 is so bad it killed Itagaki and Ayane's seiyuuTRVKE
>>738903609RIP
>>738903609WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN TINAS VA?I HATE HEARING THAT RASPY GRANNY VOICE IN PENIS VACATION
>>738903609F
>>738913230Looks more like the silly Arcade Quest from Tekken 8. If they ever put something like this in a future DOA game, they definitely should take SF6's World Tour/Battle Hub approach and allow you to fight as your avatars as well. I'm sure a ton of people want to create slutty looking donut steels like they somewhat could in Nioh 2 and 3.
Ayane dies and VVfags have to turn it into another gooner thread. That's what you get for enabling this spamming God I hate VVfags so much go kill yourselves
She looks better with long hair.
>>738916678boohoo nigga
>>738916726You know no one will miss you when you inevitably kill yourself, right?
>>738916764
>>738916726I wish VV gacha fags would fuck off from the doa franchise.
>>738916678They are even spamming in the doa6 threads pure cancer
what happened to the comfy harmony mainline doafrens and vvfrens (and those who enjoy both, which believe it or not is most vvfrens) used to keep up until around a month or two ago?seems like a vocal minority suddenly started screeching the moment 7 was announcedi wonder if it's just some fag samefagging and seething to an extreme degree because he can't play VV after the VPN trick was fixed lol
>>738916678>Ayane dies and VVfags have to turn it into another gooner thread.>gooner threadWhat has Keir-"I'm a gooner."-Starmer to do with any of this?
>>738917136It's just one guy telling everyone that DoA1 models were better and then shitting up every thread. Actually after DoA7 announcement there was a semblance of harmony between fgc fags and vv fags. It's all gone now.
>>738917136Pretty sure it's just the schizo.As an Ayanefag I don't care about the images, but it'd be nice to have more Ayaneposting.
I'm still going to call her fat
Hearing her voice (along with Hideyuki Hori) was the only redeeming part of NG4. What a damn shame nobody made a game for her where she was the focus before we lost her unique voice.Goodbye, you wonderful butterfly ninja.
the guy lashing out at post-doa 4 is the same faggot mass reporting doa threadsfag is literally seething that jannies and mods don't care about his antics anymorethe xitter poster guy is just a peak gooner, even that other fag buckbroke this shitposter
>>738918370No way, you're telling me it's that same schizo that has been shitting up this thread for YEARS?
Lazypro, Jerid, Renzuki, Gagsly, Spizzy should all pay tribute and make a massive Ayane set separately.
RIP my main.
>>738905039>>738904050I FAPPED TO CHARACTERS VOICED BY A GRANDMA!?
How are the Nips reacting to her loss? Are they posting Ayane?
>>738905039I wonder how well do seiyus get paid
>>738918486the schizo's main shtick now is to instigatetoo bad his bait is shit and isn't working so he's malding and seething even harder
>>738917136nta but spamming gooner images not even ayane related in this thread is distasteful and you are a dick if you support it
>>738918486it's a different schizo i think? the last one disappeared from the threads after he got publicly humiliated by the modscould be the same guy making a comeback though
>>738918640peanuts, hotdog and a handshakefor top girls they get three fiddy thousand yen per episodejap vas aren't like western ones who will always demand more money, it's poor form and heretical
>>738918640extremely well since none of them is living in poverty
>>738918750i agree this should be at least a primarily ayane threadi'm not powerful enough to stop the twitterposter though
>>738919003but you encourage or enable it? why don't you ever report?I posted in the last doa6 thread and looks like he was spamming pics there too.
>>738918623The main post announcing her death has over 30 million views. She may not have been the biggest most popular voice actress, but she was very important due to the shows and characters she worked on for literal decades.Also yeah my feed is just filled with people Ayane-posting.
>>738919243>She may not have been the biggest most popular voice actressShe's pretty high up there, being a long running main character for 30 years on a kids show will get you a LOT of popularity.
Ayane will have new voice for DOA7, name the new voice actor
>>738919650DOA7 will be canceled by the FGayC
Can't imagine the shitstorm when Granny Goku dies.
>>738919650Who is a popular VA that DOA hasn't casted yet?
>>738909347Pretty crazy how young Maaya Sakamoto is. She's been around for ages.
Fly high, butterflyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU4c9YLGCfA
>>738918823Meanwhile the Simpsons voice actors demand they get paid 5 million per episode even when they're so old they can barely do the voices anymore
>>738903609What happened, did she finally turn 18, therefore unattractive now?
>>738903609>>738903826look how they massacred my girl
>>738919650Either it's Maaya Uchida or someone who's close to Wakana from all the years. A new seiyuu wouldn't cut it so has to be a veteran one.
>>738919650Apparently this is the replacement voice for her character in Conan. It does sound a bit like her.. but her voice was too unique for a great match imohttps://x.com/CNP___boxoffice/status/2032757926197342522
>>738903609RIP, along with Bass (suicide ;_;), Brad's 2nd VA, and Gen Fu (stroke)
>>738909347i wonder if some people will celebrate the death of a VA of a character they dislike. doa "fans" on some places seem mentally unwell enough to do it
>>738920331And Itagaki himself. My favourite games seem to be cursed...
>>738920331>Bass (suicide ;_;)wait what the fuck
>>738920402Itagaki smoked and drank for decades, I'm surprised he was able to last to 58
>>738904050Ooof, right in the feels, cause I used to fap to all the female cast back when I got the Dreamcast Demo back in 2001.
>>738920403>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisuke_G%C5%8DriIt's real, holy shit. That's sad

>>738918623More than this thread apparently, based on all these litearlly who girls being posted.
>>738919690>DOA7 will be canceled by the FGayC>>738920705I thought everyone knew what happened to Daisuke and how badly he was suffering from a horrible eye sight disease that made him retired as a seiyuu.
>>738920815Gacha posters deserve a fate worse than death
Gonna post my snaps for best DOA girl
In honor of her passing away
>>738921047The way she says this line is burned into my mind. Nobody else could do it like her.
These gachafags are so tone deaf.
>>738921176She really has a lovely bratty personality

>>738905039who is the tanned buff lady?
>61Damn, sad to hear.Was never a DoA-fag but I loved the DoA4 renders and such. Wanted to make a vidya with a girl almost identical to Ayane because she had the most moe features before getting BOGGED in the later games.
>>738921587Rachael from Battle Arena Toshinden
Do you guys think my Ayane Mii in Tomodachi life is okay? I also made her costume, just don't have a photo atm. I also made a version that has a more detailed face/hair as facepaint but I didn't like the way it looked.
>>738920705>>738920796>>738920897Daisuke Gōri is legendary, shame he had to go that way.
>>738922102I like it. Not sure if possible but I would add just a little bit more hair to the bangs on the front.
>>738922028I do like the way DOA5 looks but the renders and posters from before it are something special.
>>738922103I loved Gouri's role with Bass voice in DOA than Tekken's Heihachi voice.
>>738921312Wasn't Kei Nagase a female favorite character for Ace Combat franchise?
>>738922814to be fair there's like 3 Kei Nagases in the franchise that are separate characters that are nearly identical in appearancebut 5's is probably the most famous
>>738922814the AC5 appearance/AC7 cameo nagase is the popular one, but ace combat is a series that has good dubs so i imagine most AC players haven't even heard JP nagase
>>738923043>the AC5 appearance/AC7 cameo nagase is the popular oneDidn't Wakana reprise her voice role in AC7?
>Purple kunoichi outfit => gym uniform > rest of her outfits
>>738916678VV is more popular than any of the fighting games. It's over.
>>738923459>VV is more popular than any of the fighting games.No.
>>738923423I always really liked her basic DOAXBV bikini. Such a simple design but it worked with how busty she is.

>>738903609RIP Razgriz 2.
>>738903609>>738904050Following Japanese seiyuu doctrine does that mean Ayane Will Vanish in all and future games?
It's going to be hard getting used to the new VAs in DoA7(if Gen Fu returns) (I've never played with Bass)
ass
>>738922028everyone got BOGGED except for maybe kokoro. it's really tragici hope native ports for the older games will be a thing since TN clearly doesn't care
>>738925232Ayane really hurts. She was my favorite. Hopefully her replacement does her in a way that pays tribute to Wakana and doesn't go with a completely different direction.
>>738903609One of the best, very high on my list.
>>738904050You will all be in my prayers.
I liked this picture from a Japanese player. May Ayane have fun with her sister on those islands forever.
F to her voice actress.I will bust a nut to Ayane in her honour today.
Snoy thread.
https://youtu.be/fOX8W1i9j44&t=1m0s
>>738925050They'll say she in some other mission or another. Her older sister/cousin Kasumi and her other big half-sis Honoka might make some comment or another.
>>738929381Ayane is still one of the most popular DOAs. They'd never drop her from the regular roster. Kasumi, Tina, Brad, Gen Fu and Bass have all survived VA changes.
>>738930216Gen Fu isn’t in the newest DOA.
>>738929179BombaseretededabomsateredabombateseratadabombombasesaretedakaTOBOM!!!!
>>738904050RIP but it's not like she had a particularly unique or recognizable voice. A replacement won't be difficult to find.
>>738930338Yeah, but that's because KT are cheap fucks who wanted to remove characters whose storylines had completed and had characters who technically functioned similarly. In Gen's case, his story about getting prize money for medicine to heal his sick granddaughter was resolved several games ago and Eliot, his pupil, was seen as a replacement with some some similar moves and fighting style. Leon and Bayman were once very similar and of course Ein was the precursor to Hitomi.
>>738930216>one of the most popular They'd never drop her from the regular rosterheh you should've seen what bamco did with SCV's roster i didn't mind the new blood tho
>>738930558She was recognizable as Ayane. That's all that matters in this context and was one of the longest serving actors on the series, one of only a few left who worked on DOA1. Kasumi, Tina, Bass, Gen Fu, Jann Lee and Bayman have all had voice changes. Only Hayabusa, Zack, Leifang and Ayane had consistent VAs all the way from the first game.
>>738931005>She was recognizable as AyaneReally wasn't. Hers was a dime a dozen Japanese anime voice. Literally pick any mediocre VA off the streets.
>>738909347>Helena Douglas (Yuka Koyama) = 58Baba. . hang in there. .
>>738904050My condolences.>>738925050I'm not sure what Team Ninja's policy is, but Bandai Namco replaces VAs left and right even when they're still alive and working in the business.
>>738931164You are completely clueless on the subject matter, deaf, and being a disrespectful fuck as well.Please just shut up.
>>738931274I think Helena is going to be fine since part of her character is being mature and stoic, and that is reflected in her voice. The age of the actress should not affect that very much. Obviously DOA7 is years away but I am sure we will hear Helena there.
>>738931393TN is usually pretty consistent. Deaths and retirements are the main reasons for what changes have taken place.
>>738913780>Why are all of the women voiced by grannies?In Japan, it's considered rude to change voice actors so most stay in the same role for years and decades. They work hard on taking care of their voices. Also, fans grow to like the VAs sort of like hollywood stars and demand characters have the same VA for longer. It's a really professional actual industry, unlike the one in the west.That's why the OP of the thread is saying "RIP" instead of "lmao when's the next VA coming?!?", because the VA has become synonymous with the character.
>>738931164Not really the case at all. Her Ayane voice is quite unique and I've certainly never heard any other voice that sounds like it, except maybe Nene from SW who was also voiced by Yamazaki.
>>738931432>H-HOW DARE YOU BE DISRESPECTFUL???? WE MUST VIRTUE SIGNAL NOW!! DOWNVOTE DOWNVOTE DOWNVOTEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>738929179i need all of these ancient renders.
>>738903609She never got her own NG spinoff.Fuck this shit.
>>738922074Nice
>>738931443> DOA7 is years away but I am sure we will hear Helena thereHopefully. I hope they reveal more content for DoA6 LR because so far it only looks like a way to gauge audience interest.
>>738931274You're not playing in english with her sexy french accent?
>>738918595She was in her 30s when these games were relevant, so no.
>>738931274>>738931914>>738932023You dont even know how much semen Helena wrings out of me.
>>738932023>sexy french accentI like Lili's accent in Tekken8 but DoA i only play in JP audio. I'm from the EU so i don't see local accents as being sexy or special and JP VAs have that anime onomatopoeia and way of speaking which i grew to like after decades of watching anime. If i hear DoA charactes speak in any other language than JP it feels like a different character altogether.
>>738905039RIP Nami sistersFuck Netflix
>>738932384I would do ungodly things for someone to make SFM porn of Lili and Helena.
>>738913780Hags are professional veteran
>>738905039She was Nami and Ran too?Damn, rest in piece.
>>738932050Ewwww, already a hag

>>738931542You're so fucking retarded. Who's even talking about virtue signaling?You're just a tasteless, deaf retard trying to act le super edgy by downplaying an actor's work in a thread about her passing. That makes you even worse than virtue signalers.You're not special, and you certainly aren't as smart as you think you are.Again, just shut up.
>>738932384Localization for DOA games was pretty sporadic anyway, even through the Xbox exclusive years. 2, 5 and 6 are the only fighters which got an English version.
>>738933043Take your söy pill
>>738931443>DOA7 is years awayNot years away. 2 at most. Fighting games don't take that long to develop after they're officially announced. See: DOA5. And that game had a lot riding on its shoulders, being the first entry after the series had a long hiatus, and had lost its creator.DOA7 is probably getting released sometime in 2028.
>>738933130Throwing your favourite buzzwords at me isn't going to change the fact that you're a sad, stupid retard.Again. Shut up. You're a waste of post count.

She's relaxing in that eternal beach resort in the afterlife.

>>738933043Nigger, are you even listening to yourself. You're going around shitting your diapers over someone calling a mediocre VA what she is. Her dying is a shame but don't pretend like she was some sort of generational talent whose death leaves a vacuum behind.
>>738904050F
>>738903609RIP. She was some sort of generational talent whose death leaves a vacuum behind.
>>738934167The teaser looked like it happen in the NG4 Neo-Tokyo
Sad news. Ayane always was one of my favorite doa girls.
Ayane's life truly is filled with tragedy...
>>738935567Is this AI?
>>738935951Yes
>>738936043Nice, what model?
>>738935567Ayane was never my favourite to play with or look at, but I always liked her voice a lot. It still hurts knowing such a part of my favourite games is gone and will not return. I don't know how I would handle the same thing happening to Momiji, she has been my favourite vidya girl for so many years.One down, two left.

>>738905363It's a fucking idiot who recently discovered Xtreme Venus Vacation who can't stop saving every pic he finds on X and can't stop vomiting them on /e/ and /v/.The threads get fucking ruined by that fucking moron.
>>738936818Ayane must definitely be one of the characters with the most game appearances ever with all the times she has been a guest in other games. Fatal Frame, Warriors Orochi, Senran Kagura come to mind.Such a shame Wakana Yamazaki didn't get any more chances to be in a big game as her in the past few years, and probably didn't record for DOA7. At least she doesn't have to suffer from that damn illness anymore.

>>738940917
>>738941134Nice. Now every time I look at my Ayane figure I will feel a bit sad.
Damn, just realized that DOA6 will be her last DOA. That sucks.
>>738919853She started out as a teenager so technically she's a 30 year veteran.Then you have Team Negro hiring her as a brown American side character.
>>738941763va pics need to be updated to their 2026 photos when they reveal who becomes ayane's new voiceover
>>738941763Reika, Meg and Nozomi look like they're sculpted from their voice actress.
>>738941307Ayane was 14 in Ninja Gaiden Black, and somehow that info slipped through the western release of the game, mentioned clearly in the manual, I guess they didn't think Ayane was too sexualized in the first revival for Ninja Gaiden so it slipped through, indeed she is just wearing some tight pants, nothing compared to what usually wore in DOA at the time.Meanwhile the western releases for DOA at the time blanked Ayane's age, and all other characters below 18 really, which was several characters before DOA5 aged everyone by 2 years so nobody was under 18 anymore.
>>738943790Tifa for dead or alive?
>>738942251Lisa was introduced when Maaya Sakamoto wasn't the household name she grew to be. The fact she voices Lisa still means Team Ninja lucked out as Maaya's name now is still attached to Dead or Alive.
>>738943767This is where the cucking for modern audiences really started and you know it.
>>738943767Same thing is happening with Senran Kagura's next project. They've announced it's a 3 year time skip (in addition to the total of 6 months that took place between the first and last console games) so everyone will be over 18.
>>738943992They still fucked up since they had her voice a random side character instead of one of the later "main" ones like Hitomi, Kokoro, Helena.
>>738944124>so everyone will be over 18Why people so afraid?
>>738944124Miyabi's gonna be like 25
>>738944060Erasing official mentions of how old those characters were supposed to be in western releases was far more preferable than advocating for the toning down and removal of sexualized content altogether.
>>738942941Patty and Nagisa too.
>>738905039Awwwww shit...R.I.P.
>>738943867Why when Kokoro is already a rip-off of her design, right down to a locked heart belt buckle on the outfit?
>>738944060It was something to do with some Nordic countries banning DOA Dimensions, which may have led to the creation of Marie Rose.https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/26362/dead-or-alive-dimensions-banned-in-sweden
>>738943867for me, it's dissidia NT tifa
>>738944139They struck gold again by getting Saber early and cheap to do Kokoro. Helena and Hitomi pre-dated Lisa. Yui Horie was pretty big at the time too.
>>738944437I meant DOA5. That plus less anime art direction was writing on the wall.
>>738944415>hagsToo early to hit...
>>738944338Literally all because of Sweden and why Marie Rose was created. That was the last gasp of the old TN, that would dare to thumb their noses at the haters and make a little girl character after a handful of busty but legally underage characters drew calls for banning their games. Then KT came in and immediately bent the knee and demanded everyone be aged up to avoid bad publicity.
>>738945126I will make her a mother, befitting her age
>>738945215>SwedenI recalled outrage over 3DS release?
>>738944338The age someone being considered a minor was moved up from age 16 to 18 in the western world well before Japanese law (2024.)Child Protection Act of 1984 (US)Sexual Offences Act 2003 (UK)Yeah there's a line about exclusion for art and non realistic, but nobody's going to test that on anything mainstream.
>>738945215>>738944894>>738945848Marie Rose such cute additionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7je5zqqoxY4
>>738946482If I made indie games, I'd make my protagonist age 13.
>>738946390Yeah, the dust-up over DOA: Dimensions and how Sweden's cp laws at the time encompassed any image of an underage character in any sort of revealing dress, even absent any lewd behavior or pose. So a busty 16 year old Ayane in a bikini or flashing her panties would be cp according to them, but Marie Rose, who looks 13 but is officially listed as 18, would not be. TN were just pointing out the absurdity of the law.
>>738946651Every anon making games should make any girls besides the hags 16 or under. Show how you just fucking do it rather than being a coward.
Bump
>>738946848I like how they list Kanna's age a 1014 to give a little signpost.
Rub one out to Ayane
>>738904114>Meanwhile my piece of shit grandparents still alive in their 80s Man
death to VVfags death to gachaniggers
Honestly the replacement they got for her Conan character does sound about as close as possible. I would not mind if Ayane sounded like that, preferable to Ayane never appearing in a game again.
stop turning every doa thread into VV spam you nigger
Since someone decided to just spam the rest of the thread to death, I guess this is all. Nice to see so many people pay respect.
Can't believe age of barbarian chronicles got censored
>>738949385>>738949224
>>738949252If I'm Ran's replacement VA I would definitely call KT to get that Ayane role no matter what for Wakana's sake.
>>738949576Bro, the bikini armour thread is two blocks down.Also the game was not censored. A single sex scene was removed. A scene added nothing to the main idea of Age of Barbarian: Chronicles. Main idea being BARBARIANS, not sex.It's Christian Fanucci's fault that he was so busy making a game that he forgot to follow NSFW guidelines on Steam before release.
>>738949738KT may cheap out on a lot of things, but they always get good voice actors for their characters. I think they could do it. The only problem here is that the franchises Ayane is attached to are on death's door and even if she had not lost her voice actor, she barely appears in anything anymore.
Ayane will forever live in my heart
Gonna be an awkward 8.5 anniversary stream
>>738949884inb4 she gets replaced by nana mizuki, akari kito or some has been in the 2010s like hanakana
this is why doa fags don't like you VV fags
At least Team Ninja posted a message abou her
Actual iconic voice, The fuck is going to happen with DOA7?
>>738939946nigger, youre retarded
>>738951370This cover art was so sick I re-bought a Japanese copy of the game just for it to sit on a shelf.
>>738903826At what point do the people making this stop and ask "Why not just make porn?"
>>738951393If it's set in NG4's timeframe, they'll get someone to do a more mature voice for her most likely.
>>738951393Ugh they'll just recast her with another voice actress dumbo
>>738951670How do you make money by creating something people are just going to pirate anyway?
>>738951370TL:>We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Wakana Yamazaki, and we offer our heartfelt condolences.>For many years, Ms. Yamazaki graced us with her performances as the character Ayane in numerous titles, including the *DEAD OR ALIVE* and *NINJA GAIDEN* series. As we reflect upon her remarkable contributions during her lifetime, we pray sincerely for the repose of her soul.
All I have to say is she better be everyone's home screen girl right now.
>>738952150kill yourself VVfag, pretending you ever cared about ayane over your generic gacha girl #538249
>>738952150I don't roll for Ayane that much.
>>738952438we know VVfag. I've seen your threads ayane is like the 10th least posted girl there
>>738952337Loved her longer that you have most likely. Fuck off with your constant whining shit. You are tiresome and pathetic. Kys.
>>738949845It was rated A, what the point remove it?
>>738952508Ayane is rarely if ever mentioned in your VV spam threads don't fucking lie
Her mission is finally complete.
>>738952337I'm all for shit-talking VV spammers but he is straight up posting Ayane in an Ayane game, what else would you want him to do here
>>738949487Indeed.>>738934486>>738952582Fuuuuck
16 year old Ayane nipple bumps and camel toe will live on forever.
>>738952619If you ever look in a VV thread, all they talk about is their literally who gacha girls like Patty, Sandy, or whatever. I can't even keep track anymore they all look the same and have the personality of a house plant.Ayane is rarely if ever mentioned despite being a face of the doa franchise so to pretend they care about her is disrespectful to me.
>>738952872Usually the talk is about whatever girl(s) are on that week's banner, with new photos of whichever girl they get on their roles, if any. There actually hasn't been an event featuring Ayane in quite a while. She's appeared in multi-girl events like anniversaries and such. When there's that many characters, it can be hard to slot everyone in very often.
>>738951741If KT is smart they will get a veteran or the one who replaced Ran from Conan.
>>738953123I swear they are going to just branch off from the DOA franchise and take their shitty gacha girls with them. Prism was already the start of this.DOA is a FIGHTING game if they don't fight they are dead to me.
>>738953209Getting a veteran would mean they'll also replace her again within a decade.They should go young, the shoes are big to fill but there are really good ones out there who can do it and always be available for spinoffs like Venus Vacation and Ninja Gayden.They should pull a Sailormoon with only Usagi retaining her role and everyone else gets replaced or an even more apt comparison is pulling a Mai Shiranui, her original voice actress is still alive but is like in her 60s but the new one was casted when she was in her 30s and has been voicing her for more than a decade.Wakana's passing will simply give KT internal meetings on what to do with their 50 year old VAs, as that one Anon pointed out most of the OGs are on that age.
>>738953269Everyone needs a break from kicking each other's teeth in, and DOA6 was so divisive it got no traction. Had to go back to just before Reika's debut to find another Ayane banner. I will admit that popular girls like Nanami and Tamaki seem to get more than their share of banners, but they're popular and their VAs are cheaper and able to work more.
>>738953403I cannot call you a supporter of DOA if you are in favor of pushing their shitty gacha agenda, even if you have played all their previous games, I cannot be happy with all they are pushing away all the OG girls for this gacha crap to the point a thread about ayane had other shitty gacha girls posted in it earlier
>>738953403Those Nanami and Reika banners were peak, lost so many stones even if they're trash suits.
>>738953403Also having Ayane in an event in VV made it feel special. Her personality doesn't allow her to just be thrown in wherever. She doesn't put up with a lot of the silliness that can happen, so they had to put a bit more care into when she would appear and take part in the hijinks. The one where she and Kasumi are reminiscing about how they would go out hunting for ghosts in the woods when they were kids and Ayane would always hide behind the bolder Kasumi was very sweet.>>738953621I don't agree with the random posting of other girls either, it's supposed to be a tribute to Wakana and Ayane after all. As for the gacha 'agenda', that's the business. They have to make money, and it makes them money when they likely lost a fortune on DOA6. And clearly NG4 didn't do well either. VV likely funded DOA6 and DOA7 though. If you experienced the era of the fighters and Xtreme games running in parallel and without the animosity, you'd understand how the two series fit together and compliment each other.
>>738953929>be ninjas>let a random zombie stand there and terrorize the island
>>738953987Their ninja powers and agility are nerfed by the island's anti-magic field. Same things removes Nyotengu's wings and limits her and Kanna's magical abilities and lowers everyone's strength to levels where they can knock out Owner-san but can't kill him, like when Leifang hits him with the double palm strike after he grabs her boobs.
>>738953987Iirc it was just Nyotengu pranking them.
>>738953929> VV likely funded DOA6 and DOA7 though.Oh fuck off with this I will never support shitty gacha crap. The Xtreme games at least used the DOA girls and helped flesh them out, which arguably helped shape their future game apperances.You think stupid sandy or patty are ever appearing in another doa game
>>738954479Patty could easily take over for Lisa if they wanted to replace her and transfer her fighting style. No different to have a Pacific Islander practicing capoera than a black American. Kanna would be a natural fit too. The rest don't have to be fighters. If Momiji and Rachel can cross over to DOA but Irene and Mizuki McCloud don't, does that mean they're pointless characters?
This shitposter does not realize X3 and Penis Vacation already existed before DOA6 and when 6 bombed harder than Concord all DOA fans sought refuge on Penis Vacation and 5LR; until 5LR died6LR will also bomb since they're just band-aiding a total dogshit game, worth buying on a major Steam sale a year later though7 will bomb too once they start cajoling and sucking off FGC trannies who hated the IP and not knowing who their core audience are in the late 2020s (gooners and casuals)
>>738954132>honoka can't master stuff instantly>kokoro is smart now>hitomi can cook>tamaki is not nerfed since she's an aikidostacy
>>738954726>all DOA fans sought refuge on Penis VacationThis is fucking retarded. Only you shitty gacha fags "sought refuge". You are trying to turn DOA into a gooner franchise and that's why you must kill yourself.Also calling me a shitposter when you faggots raid and invade doa threads yeah sure.>>738954710I fucking knew it. You'd want OG girls like Lisa gone and replaced with your shitty gacha girls. If it was up to you, you'd probably get rid of other girls like Christie and replace them with more shitty gacha girls too right? Kill yourself
remember to make a doa thread on dmm's 8.5 anniversarypoor nanami has to read a eulogy kek kwab
>>738955040fuck off this isn't a general
>>738954983Hitomi could always cook. But her food is always bland on the island, and her strength is down even if her endurance seems unaffected.
At this rate we're not going to be able to have real threads about DOA7 thanks to gachaniggersI see why the jannies despise them so much
>>738955257it seems ever other thread of theirs gets deleted.They also have been getting very cocky spamming their general 3-4 times a week now.
>>738955282VVfags also claim to not be associated with the "twitter spammer" yet encourage and engage him every thread. lying faggots
>>738955034I don't 'want' Lisa and Christie gone. If KT pulled that particular plug though, which for the record I don't think they will as they've never cut a female character from any of the fighting game rosters, even if characters like Lisa were standing around with nothing to do in DOA6, Patty could do what she does. If Lisa stays and Sakamoto wants to keep doing the character, great, but give her something to do. Lisa's original personality was very much like Patty's. And I've always said DOA needs more villains. Christie, NiCO, and sometimes-Rig aren't enough when they have 4 ninja, plus Helena and Bayman firmly as 'good guys'.
>>738955347If you truly wanted what's best for DOA, you'd stop supporting this shitty gacha game. If the girls don't fight, they aren't DOA that's end of discussion here. I begrudging tolerated VV when it was the OG girls, then they kept adding more and more literally whos until they overtook the OG cast and your stupid ass keeps supporting it. Enough is enough
