Mai from King of Fighters is coming to Dead or Alive 5 Last Round

More On: Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round

Man, all that costume DLC must be selling like hotcakes because Koei Tecmo is continuing it's support of Dead or Alive 5 with another new DLC character and it's another cross over. Mai from the King of Fighters series will be released as a DLC character in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round sometime in November. No other info has been released. 

Honestly, if they are going to do cross overs in fighting games, I wish it were more like this when they bring in characters from other fighting games.

I am not liking the direction that Microsoft and Netherrealm Studios went with their guest characters. Mortal Kombat X is slowly becoming a monster movie fighting game and Killer Instinct is slowly becoming Microsoft All Stars Battle Royal.

At least with Dead or Alive 5 the guest characters make sense. Momiji, Rachel and Ryu are at least from another one of their franchises, being Ninja Gaiden and characters like Ayane and Kasumi make appearances in Ninja Gaiden. Other guest characters like Sarah and Pai are from the Virtua Fighter series so again, I think it makes sense. 

Despite the high amount of fan service in the Dead or Alive games, Dead or Alive 5 is a fantastic fighting game that I think those who are fans of 3D fighting games should absolutely check out.
