Reception
Raymond Padilla at GameSpy, originally not a fan of Ayane, later changed his mind, and stated "Learning more about her story, her upbringing, and the root of her feud with Kasumi made me change sides. It got to the point where I started using her in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball and relished every defeat we gave Kasumi. Again, the game's story drew me in and got me attached to the character."[1]
Jim Sterling, writing for GameFront, was critical of Ayane's sex appeal, due to her age. Sterling added "Would it really kill Japanese developers to at least write down someone’s age as “21″ and promise that we’ll say no more about it? Ayane’s still going to look like a creepy, big-breasted infant no matter what fictional age you slap on her. Would it murder the fantasy of the fanbase if the girl was canonically 21, despite still looking like an eleven-year-old hormone pill addict?"[2]
