Team Ninja has revealed plans to completely rebalance all characters in Dead or Alive 5, but it wants your help to decide what needs changing.

The developer took to Twitter to ask fans for their feedback on what changes should be made to the roster. The plan is to buff weaker characters and nerf heavyweights, however the team doesn’t want to just charge in there headlong thinking that it knows what fans want.

Team Ninja is focusing on the “concept and importance of keeping each character’s individuality. Rather than kill personality to make everyone the same, we’ll strengthen the weak characters to make a fair fight.” All changes will be made public before the patch is sent off for certification.

What changes do you feel need to happen? Share your ideas in the comments below.
