Much like how KT has hundreds of social media accounts. Just have less so that the community is together making it overall better and more active.

Exactly, make it one place so it doesn’t feel all over the place. That’s why I usually don’t join the discord servers of people.

Whoever originally came up with the idea to replace (fighting) gaming forums with a friggin chat app is a fool imo. Discord feels so... disconnected.

Discord sucks, period.

Definitely. I can't for the life of me get into using Discord over a forum like FSD.

Same here, I think there shouldn’t be DOA forums on discord and I think people should be more on FSD instead of Discord.

I wouldn't go as far to say there shouldn't be any forums on Discord. A lot of people use it, though I would obviously like to see more people on FSD.

That might help, but DOA6 being DOA6 really is the primary culprit for a divided community. LR was already alienating people, and 6 failed to rope everyone back in. It instead just pushed more people away.

I think 6 is broken beyond repair tbh. Everybody was excited for 6 but they really made us regret a DOA6. I honestly want to go back and play 5 consistently instead of 6.

I found someone to play 5 with the other day. It was pure bliss.

Whenever I look at tournaments of 5 it used to be so hype. Now when I look at tournaments of 6 It’s barely enjoyable. There’s no momentum since you can BH out of everything, the combo scaling ruins every creative combo because it does shit damage compared to Stun launch bound close hit/BB.

I‘m honestly so disappointed in Shimbori, people like to blame KT for stuff, but honestly it was shimbori who created this pile of shit called DOA6. He never should’ve produced and directed DOA6, I’d rather have Itagaki back who at least made the game stand out rather than this failure of a fighter.

To be fair, Itagaki in 2019 wouldn't have made DOA6 significantly better because KT are cheap-asses and wouldn't exactly have the budget like he'd have gotten for like DOA3 or DOA4. DOA5 wasn't really a well-directed DOA game either. Can anyone at Team NINJA direct anything well anymore?

@Onryoki You do need combo scaling in this game though. Almost every single juggle that reaches 25-30 hits would probably K.O. the opponent's character from full health in this game.
@Force_of_Nature 2015 to early 2017 was one of the best years KT/TN had ever since Itagaki left imo.

@Force_of_Nature DOA5LR got released and it became a really solid fighting game compared to how meh vanilla DOA5 was, free version of the game was downloaded by quite a lot of people. NOA1 was an game that proved that Gust can create a new IP and make it decent, good even. Atelier Sophie got released which was the most sold Atelier game at that point in time, maybe still is.

@Force_of_Nature Nioh, released early 2017 is KT/TN's biggest game so far. Would've written it all in just one comment but character limitation is a thing.
