Rig? What kind of name is Rig? Never mind.... What kind of outfit is that?!? Is he homeless? Rig looks like he smells bad and needed a shower last week. Maybe Rig should be looking for a job instead of beating up on women from DOA and taking burly guys out on dates (the only DOA5 story mode reference I will ever be making - because that shit was painful to sit through).

Now that I've made my fun... in fairness, Rig's Taekwondo fighting style is actually decent. The DOA series was lacking a TKD fighter until Rig showed up in DOA5, so these new animations are definitely welcome. Naturally, Rig has a great selection of dynamic kicks, the typical "one leg up" TKD stance, and some cool, flashy, and hard-hitting throws as well. As far as his appearance goes, yeah... it's pretty weak. He's no Hwoarang. The vibe I get from Rig is a "poor man's Jin Kazama or Goh Hinogami" with that knockoff hoodie get-up he threw together from cloths that don't fit him anymore (or cloths he found on the side of the road). That is one ugly outfit. Rig's default outfit is just all over the place... like 3 terrible outfits rolled into one. Sadly, most of his alternate costumes are, somehow, worse. I think I'm being pretty generous giving him 3 out of 5.
