So for the remaining 4 weeks of October ya got a new Minato costume, then after that a 2nd debut costume bundle for Minato that i suppose draws from the old designs like her first, then a new Nyotengu design, and then a new Kasumi one.
We shall see if any is Halloween themed, tho i expect a witch one for Minato in the costume pack.
Tina will have to keep waiting! ✋️
in a free Halloween themed update each character can now equip a Jack o Lantern over their head. comes in 4 color variations, all of which is free. and yup, it does fit over Raidou's hood and is bigger for bigger body.
this is a pretty unique item since in vanilla DOA6 this wasn't a thing even in the paid DLC.
the patch also mentions:
"- Fixed bugs related to battle mechanics.
- Corrected various bugs and issues."
which is not yet published but will include prior announced changes for Minato:
changing backdash will be a nerf i believe, other stuff may help her. she is a pretty mid/low tier type character, so she needs what she can get.
we shall see if the October roadmap is unveiled soon, or if it's next week. 🎃
Here is a character overview that got posted.
she does in fact have an English dub!
her eyes do briefly change in her intro at least, showing those hi tech contacts.

Minato costs $8. her costume bundle is also $8.
character/costume bundle is $15.
i figure she has like the contact version of the glasses seen in that Dead or Alive movie from back when hehe.

On sale for $29.99. No DLC on sale tho, including old costume packs.
Fanatical also has it on sale for $26.99

And they wouldn't have to be made from scratch, just remastered and adjusted really
Be real cool tho seeing them updated and all
“And I remember like Finn Bálor coming to me backstage at some point and be like, ‘Hey, bro, I heard we might be doing something at WrestleMania.’ And I was just like, ‘Oh my God, that would be a dream come true.’ Like to work with Finn and those guys in a WrestleMania capacity. Like this is going to happen, man.”
“And then we had a health issue, somebody in our group and it’s, you know, we, we want to make sure that the health comes first. But I think Joe Gacy mentioned we all wish that we would have been given the ball a little bit more during that downtime to carry it on. And it seems like there was a lot of emphasis on Bo. And yeah, you know, we looked at him as like the leader, you know, he’s Bray’s brother. We didn’t have any problem with him being the focal point, but we just felt like the momentum is being lost so much by us not continuing and we’re all capable.”
“Like we could all, in our minds, the Wyatt Sicks should have been all over WWE programming. Shouldn’t have just been RAW or SmackDown. It should have been Gacy shows up in NXT and has a program with somebody. You know, Nikki shows up in a women’s match and I could valet for Nikki.”
yah it was because of health issue with Bo Dallas.
they clearly lost momentum and opportunities from that, but the group felt like they should have been able to carry on in ways without Bo rather than being put on the back burner. that WWE put too much on Bo being around, even tho sure Bo was the leader of the faction.
they also had ideas of Joe Gacy going to NXT and something happening there so the Wyatt Sicks were all over WWE. and like Nikki Cross being involved in the women's division somewhere.
which did not materialize.
So first is the new Leifang costume.
week 2 is occupied by Minato and however her outfits will work.
week 3 is Kokoro costume.
week 4 is Hitomi.
since there are 5 Wednesdays this month, we shall see if there is a surprise costume at end of the month.
if they are planning to sometime add Oboro to any other stages, it's a *known unknown* right now. as in, who knows! 🤔
Leifang gets a classy ensemble, perhaps suitable for a cold Chinese night out? well, maybe not with the slits in the legs hehe.
destructible elements are at least the new hairstyle option that comes with the costume.
it does look nice in motion.
armor fit for a tengu princess....
i suppose it makes her hair blonde when using the tiara/helmet, and the tiara/helmet thing may or may not be destructible. it's unclear.
this makes for the final DLC release for August, and we may have to wait until next week to see the September roadmap, which will include Minato. but we shall see as daytime advances over in Japan over the Western night.
September also has 5 Wednesdays in it, so it may be 5 costumes for September.
the patch also makes reference to fixing bugs and issues, including to battle mechanics.
This completes the 3 costume summer theme for Honoka, Marie Rose, and Nico.
Nico's outfit features all the accessories of the others, but less of the coverage.
Destructible elements would be the unique hat and glasses.
Next week will be a new design for Nyotengu.
With a chunk of time left before Minato comes out on 9/10, eyes will be peeled for her to be unveiled some time. sooner or later! 🤔
Halloween (1978) - the big classic
The Fog (1980) - such an atmospheric ghost story
Halloween 2 (1981) - i still consider this to be the actual end of the Michael Myers story
Escape from New York (1981) - not horror, but just another example of the great output
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982) - underrated when released, but a great film for Halloween
The Thing (1982) - essential survival horror
Christine (1983) - Carrie if it involved a killer, evil car (adaption of Stephen King)
Big Trouble in Little China (1986) - great comedic horror type flick
Prince of Darkness (1987) - horror flick delving into some deep matters horror flicks didn't typically do
They Live (1988) - sci-fi with such a unique way about itself
In the Mouth of Madness (1994) - Lovecraftian type of horror)
Vampires (1998) - in an era mainly of tragic vampires, and a number of years later sparkly ones, these vampires are simply evil monsters
such a big point of Carpenter films was the atmosphere in them, and the music as well.
So here's some various high level pro level DOA6 footage, which is still applicable to DOA6 Last Round of course.
mainly you can watch it and see how the gameplay flows, and what is there or not there. like offense or defense.
i suppose what i find interesting is how little blocking goes on and when it does, not much happens from it.
it's very much moves against moves, i suppose. with an occasional hold.
here's another video too:
They keeping what she looks like etc a secret still, but will be unveiled and showcased in due time.
But once in September the release date will arrive soon.
Also, starting on August 13th the Core Fighters version of the game will allow playing as Ayane and Tamaki until the 19th.
so the summer costumes for Honoka, Marie Rose and Nico will share a common theme, it seems, of sunflowers.
the unique glasses seem sorta heart shaped.
she has a floaty like Honoka, and her hat is on her back in some way so it must be part of the costume.
the flower on her head must be the hairstyle option.
the patch also speaks of
"- Fixed bugs related to battle mechanics.
- Corrected various bugs and issues.".
So Tina's 44P has a 19 frame start up. it's slow frame-wise.
but its animation has i suppose evasive qualities, she goes down low and then comes up back to strike. depending on the timing of the opponent's attacking (or mashing) this move can end up hitting them. on hit Tina gets a stun/mixup.
what make it important is that the move can hit when otherwise your arsenal up close most likely won't (in my experience). your fastest high, your fastest mid, etc. much less other moves especially at the start of a fight, like if you are both are point blank range.
it won't always work of course, but i find it has a better chance.
the move is -9 on hit, so it is punishable on block. tho my advice is still if you find throw punishing to not be working in online fights (for whatever reason), you can fall back to your fastest mid instead, since most people continue attacking even when negative.
