4/23 Happy Birthday Lei-Fang

The fact that Wanted: Dead, that janky af action game released by ex-Ninja Gaiden devs, is to this day getting updates, fixes, and combat overhauls is both baffling and awesome, most devs by now would of moved on from their budget AA game that didn't sell too well, but not Soleil lol

Chess move here, there is bugs in Valkyrie Elysium which was also developed by Soleil and didn't get improvements.

However I do think part of it is likely Square Enix or the Valkyrie series in general, but not everything Soleil does is on the fixing list. Personally I just don't see the hype pedestal of Ex-NG devs currently, not until they at least make something that rivals NG (which they haven't still).

Wanted Dead is actually fun as a silly 3rd person shooter/hack n' slash hybrid, but yeah it is pretty cool that a game like that is getting updates. Its budget shows in every aspect of the game haha. As much as I loved the OG NG/DOA team, I really don't think they transitioned within generation 7 (360/PS3) too well. Gaming standards have increased immensely since 2004-"08-ish.

It was 9 years ago! I dumped Tina for Nyotengu! Until I found out the hard way that her SPD....IS NOT A 360 COMMAND GRAB! T_T

Still hurts me to this day! The years of lag walking made me wish I can go all out. Yet even I get frustrated at myself that I still hold back! >.<
This Evo Japan weekend is a moment of truth. Will we see a new VF reveal? Will Akuma Matata rule the Pride Lands that is SF6? Will Granny Mai be revealed for COTW? And finally, will we get a surprise reveal of a DOA Master Collection, if not a new DOA fighting game?

@deathofaninja Yes we all know that E3 is no longer a thing, even if Japanese developers don't have an interest in TGS there are probably still other gaming conventions (similar to the 2 mention events) that DOA has high chance of announcing, unless game industry starting to decline where gaming conventions are no longer a thing. The only way to find out is trailers popping up in EVO Japan.

Not to mention DOA6 and I believe DOA5 did get announcements for content, not full games, but content. It's becoming more normalized for fighting content to be announced at fighting events which makes complete sense IMO.

@Radiance honestly. Expecting a new DOA would be crazy. Even if they’d announce it, it probably would’ve an updated Venus vacation game.
WOW, I never thought I'd see a hololive vtuber streaming any DOA... and Pekora??

For anyone who doesn't understand vtubing and the significance of this...
this is one of the top vtubers in the world streaming Venus Vacation to 45K+ ppl right now.

Also iirc Kizuna Ai has played XVV before when the game was still new for a sponsered video.

Fubuki played DOA6 pre-release and even got custom fighter cards made
Yoooo, my oshi played DOA6 so early in her career? And this was before her scatman days so it's gone from the internet? D: Damn...

That said, I think Pekora playing anything now is a bigger deal since vtubing is more popular than ever before and Pekora is topping the charts these days. The VoD has almost 500K views now. I'm guessing she'll be playing it again too. As big as a deal this it tho, I wish it was a DOA fighting game and not VV...

Meet my frenemy from steam since 2015! He used to be an Alpha152 main until a person with a Woolen Hat inspired him to pick up Momiji. He was one of the people who trained me in zero g wifi in ranked matches. We don't see eye to eye in fanservice and hot drink of choice so we duke it out to find out who is right. Great times back then and great times now! XD
Don't get caught up in the culture wars, bros. KT isn't gonna care how worked up we're getting in forums or on social media, we have no control over what they do. We tried to get them to wake up over DOA6 and they just shut the whole thing down. The best of us, imo, are making and putting out content. Matches. Tourneys. Videos. Fanart. Keep playing, keep positive, and keep having fun. Keep DOA alive. :thumbs up:

A whole fandom becoming united is completely unrealistic when people have different points of view or different reasons, especially when sex appeal/sexualization comes to the mix when this stuff should be the reason DOA is profitable with their Season Pass & Microtransactions. To be quite honest, I have little trust in KT when it comes to then giving DOA another shot.

sorry to say that matches. tourneys. videos. and fanart is not enough, DOAX3 happen because the DOA5 gravure DLC sale very successful, new NG game might be if NG master collection sold a high number. The only way we're gonna get DOA7 if team ninja publish old DOA game master collection. A big "IF".

The reaction to the hair colour stuff is what I was talking about. We effected them, but I doubt most people wanted KT to entirely stop supporting the game. Most of us wanted them to fix the issue and do better going forward, not quit. That's why I said we have no control over what KT does.
It still boggles my mind how there's not a single traditional 3D fighter available on the Switch. Not even ports of old games. For crying out loud, give me Soul Calibur 2, Virtua Fighter 2, DOA 2H or Dimensions, etc. and I would buy in a heartbeat.

That's too bad cause I know a lot of people who would want SCII, especially if Link is in it. Would be perfect for Switch port. Heck, I wouldn't even mind if online wasn't included long as offline versus was available. I understand it takes time and money to port these games over but...the switch has been out for 7 years now. Kazuya is in smash yet no Tekken game is on the Switch.

More like "Does it cost too much/takes too much time away from our main project and probably wouldn't net us a lot of new players? No thank you!"
The issue is that there's no guarantee that newer players would like to play older entries in the series, especially given how from a competitive standpoint the newer entry in the series is almost always the preferred one.

If its not something that can be rereleased/ported/remastered relatively quickly like SF2/3/Darkstalkers and such then they probably won't bother with it with the rising costs for game development.
I must have lost my edge. I have been spoiled by doa6! I forgotten what being a newb in doa5lr is like. Now its time for me to remember!

4/16 Happy Birthday Nanami

Tekken 8's Microtransactions: Season passes, Tekken Shop & Battle passes; set a dangerous precedent for fighting games going forward, especially AAA FG's. I shudder to think what Namco may do to whore out a potential SoulCalibur VII.
Confession: I like KBD in games. What I like about DOA/Tekken is that it has KBD in some form or another. Don't know what it is but KBD in games just looks so fucking amazing to me when you perfectly time it, your opponent whiffs, and you launch them for it.

There's something about regular backsteps/backflips/back teleports that just looks incredibly dull compared to it, not sure why.
I hate it when people play a character based off frame data; it's just a weird quirk about me, I guess because on paper it does make sense to play the best characters on the tier. Have some love for your characters.

I m not sure why we have to inject an integers chapter off a math book on a fighting game. Whats next we calculate the wind speed, the time it takes to move from point a to point b, BEDMAS, and trajectory of how attacks will land?

The only time math is useable is min maxing stats in a rpg game.

And then I turn into Eli Manning and just pick the character who can do a hit-and-run just to go "Fuck yo couch." to my opponents as I go brr on their asses.
