They matter if 1. It was a part of your appeal on why your game is profitable along with not dying out like the rest of fighting games/3D fighters from the 90s, and 2. If certain characters were loved by players who remember them when they play these games. Being a fighting game excuses nothing if your taking stuff away or toning stuff down. Just being about fighting isn't enough for a videogame.

If I wanted to play a game where all it matters is fighting with breast size/jiggle size isn't part of a game, I wouldn't play a game that had breast size/jiggle size with their upcoming game completely taking these features away.

You know what else was apart of the appeal for some Forcetechs/Stagger escaping/Limbo combos/Character interacting with each other if they had history from older games/Cliffhangers for some people/ more environmental combos. DOA6 toned this down. Complaining about jiggly tits will be heard out more than someone wanting the depth back in there game, and I didn't even name everything.

And for a more simpler time when I was a kid. We liked playing DOA2 alot on dreamcast because the game looked so damn good and the stages were so cool something that no 3d fighter has really done yet at the time was make large stages like that. Tengu stepping on the ground changing the weather fucking blew my mind.

And when I brought up DOA back then nobody I knew said stigma shit yet until much later on in DOA's life span. It Had a healthy selection of male and female. My point is TN would much rather add more sexy shit to the game then add cool shit to keep people in enthralled. Because at this point the appeal of DOA is jiggly tits and ass for a lot of people.

Even themainman thinks this. If only he knew how it use to be represented back then. He needs to look up the opening to DOA2 and the 3 that shit speaks volumes to me, but nah the pulling point that makes people buy are jiggly tits fuck everything else that was in the game. Don't forget bigger breasts, lol

Placing so much emphasis on sexualizing characters in video games should be considered a form of mental illness. It makes no sense why mostly all DOA fan content on the internet is borderline softcore porn - people are given an inch and they take a mile when it comes to attractive female characters and I hate it.

On a side note I also hate how the fanservice-obsessed side of the DOA community feel like they're ENTITLED to their belief that DOA is some weird fantasy porn game instead of a serious 3D fighter. KT/Team Ninja themselves are buying into this shit too to please the fanbase which is a separate problem >.>

@DeadlyChase The DOA mechanics/combos you mention appeals to more hardcore/competitive type for those who already enjoy the brand are more destined to be strip regardless if DOA focus on or tone down fanservice because they'd want to appease casual players, just stuff they wouldn't want to keep balancing. FGC Players aren't going to be enough to produce cash for copies or DLC/Gacha.

@DeadlyChase Part of TN/KT focus on sexy stuff are more easy to develop, and this stuff is a gold mine for KT to keep pumping out DLC content from DOA5 & DOAXVV. Even manages to make $92 Season Pass last long until Season Pass 7 in DOA5LR which eventually transfer to DOA6, and DOAXVV a Japan/Asia Exclusive being profitable.

@Kasumi-Phase-X I know that's basically what I said they will go for sexy shit over anything else. It's easier for sure, and all good things must come to an end I guess. So yea DOA is going that route. Hell maybe they'll finally make that adult porn game people have been asking about lol. If the money is right who knows...

I feel for what everyone else is saying though, and it's a shame, but it is what it is. mad ups to @SaihateDYNAMO @Force_of_Nature @Onryoki and anyone who liked there comments too.

Its strange to me how people complain in these days for not getting enough fanservice in DOA games when it has never been this big before. I dont remember anyone complaining about lack of fanservice in DOA2-DOA4 era and that time we didnt have boob jiggly physics option and costumes were actually pretty modest (usually showing only cleavage) Like why this is a problem suddenly?

@Chisa Its only strange if you don't even care what previous DOA games had to offer when devs/publishers decide to change. DOA games had jiggly breast by default & had revealing outfits as option for unlockables/booster pack (that modern TN or KT would take it away). The reason its a problem is that the developers tried to be serious, and didn't make a 2nd fighter for that.

All that I understand is that I'm not ashamed that I love me some breast jiggle, and IMO, there isn't a FG that does it quite as well and in such unique, various ways like DOA does. It may have not been my main draw for getting into the series, but damn if I'm gonna deny it was sweet icing on the cake for me.

DOA2 costumes
DOA3 costumes
DOA4 costumes

Every fighting game has some form of fan services, and this is not an issue in fact I always liked it, and it was even more interested when it fits with the characters personality. Like Tina/Christie or in Tekken Anna and her Octopus outfit. Of course this doesn't mean only them though.

Anyway older DOA revealing outfits seemed no different from your typical 3d fighter fan services, and there wasn't that many to be honest each character seemed to have at least 1 or none at all, but I guess its all subjective I never thought Kasumi's last unlockable outfit was sexy or revealing. I thought they was going for cute casual but to each there own. DOA4 Kasumi that is.

I've also streamed old DOA before, and I had a viewer say where are all the super Skippy outfits? (his first DOA was 5LR) again there is sexy things in the game but I guess it's not sexy enough for the newer generation I donno. whatever lol

"Toning down" the sexuality in DOA6 shouldn't have been an issue. TN barely toned down anything (which was part of their intention), but a lot of people on the Internet really got pissy over the whole notion of "toning down" with regards to DOA6.
