Day before my birthday I get a Bass breakdown, sweet!
Nice... where are you from?
Anyway I've been wondering at what time the streaming will start...?
SNIP
I see comparisons with P4A, and it's absurd.
You have a HUGE pool of casual players to convert. And best of all, you have EACH OTHER.
SCV, KOFXIII, and VF5:FS started out with much much less than DOA 5 has going for it, and ended up as EVO events at least one time. Especially VF, which started from literally nothing until about a month or two before EVO. If these scenes can do it, why can't the DOA scene
"However, I'm going to remain realistic because things aren't going to be easy... no matter how good the game is."
"I made it clear that I have not been following P4A. Not sure why you're harping on it so much... >_>"
"Hi, you must be new here. We went through all of the stuff you suggested over the last 7 years. It didn't work. Things have changed since then, but please don't assume that you're suddenly dropping all of this new knowledge on us."
"Um... not sure how you think SC5 started with less than DOA5. Tons of people were hype about SC5 before it even released. If you ask most people outside of the DOA community about DOA5, they still scoff at it because they haven't bothered to investigate the changes....In addition, SC5 had tournaments planned for it before it released. It was announced for Evo before it released."
" VF5 was only at Evo because Sega sponsored the tournament. We'll see if Evo includes it next year, that's the real test. Not to mention no one talked about VF5 being a bad game before it released. "
Its like they look at the game and just be like: "This crap reminds me of DOA4" Instead of giving it a chance. In all honesty Itagaki ruined the series after 3... He got so focused on that 1 goal, and that was sex appeal..SC4 had legit gameplay issues and a community that cannibalizes itself every time a new game is released. Yea they are really hype pre-release and a bit post-release.... but eventually they turn bitter, start talking about bans, boycott their own game until a nonexistant patch gets released, etc....
DOA has a community which on the outside might look like its killing itself from the arguments going on here, but in reality basically everyone will go into super happy hype mode when the game launches proper. I'd say it has the opposite issue that the soul calibur community has... our hype wheel spins a bit backwards.
And I don't know why you are so hung up on stigma. Every game has its own stigma to fight against, Mahvel/SF4 being scrub-friendly, P4A being an 'anime fighter', VF5 being 'too cosmically technical' or whatever. DOA is not alone in having a stigma to fight.

It's nice this picture of the Doa Community.
