Game Theory: The Strategy of Sex Appeal in Dead or Alive

If the...erm..revealing costumes have an effect on you like slow down your reaction times,then you may want to have a word or two with reality,cause you are technically attracted to a video game character,with the worst part being that there aren't many,or there aren't any women in real life like the DOA ones..
it really only serves just to put out a video for MattPat and has no standing for competitive play as we've seen everything a thousand times by now. however, it was nice to see a bunch of people in the comments talk about how they were enjoying the game.
Im with Force_of_Nature I don't know if this is brilliant or the dumbest shit I've ever watched.
I'm having a hard time believing that slutty costumes slow my reaction time.
I don't know whether this is brilliant or the dumbest shit I've ever watched.
I get the tone of this; "silly" mixed with a scientific perspective. But his information is a bit out-dated and the way he applies it makes too many assumptions. It wasn't particularly entertaining but I'm glad I watched it.
Though... whenever I have to watch this stuff it reminds me I will have to eventually drop the game some day. I'm getting too old for this game lol.
I was wondering why people were making statuses about sex appeal
I knew someone was gonna put this up on FSD! Lmao
I said it once and I'll say it again: "This is hilarious."

Sex sells...and apparently PWNs! Earlier this year, the community around the Dead or Alive franchise of fighting games put out a "soft ban" on some of the racier costumes available for characters in the game. Dead or Alive is a franchise KNOWN for sexy women in...questionable attire...but in an effort o move away from that label and get people to focus more on the gameplay, sexy costumes were OUT. Except...that may have been the wrong decision as sexy costumes are a CORE gameplay element. Let me explain.

ALSO...since I know anything touching on gender issues is always a bit dangerous...let me make it clear that me saying not to ban these costumes is purely from a gameplay perspective. I'm not saying ANYTHING about the overall role of females in this franchise or how they're perceived. I know that's a big issue in today's gaming landscape but it is NOT the intent of this video. What else should I disclaim for my own protection? Oh! I should reiterate, this is all backed by decades of scientific study, so even some of the more controversial findings about gender differences in reaction time are not my opinion, but rather generally-held scientific fact. I think that's everything. I'll still get tons of hate in the comments about these topics anyway, right? *Sigh* Well at least I tried...
