but I completely understand, I felt the same way about naotora in DOA5, I lost to her alot due to lack of knowledge but I also refused to waste time learning that match up due to a large sense of "this chick ain't even gonna be in the next game, so eff this match up"

Reminds me of DOA5 vanilla. Then boom, here comes DOA5U and that boy Akira about to teach people the epiphany of neutral for the 2nd time (3rd actually lel).

Granted I can see where they are coming from since Tamaki is not even part of the actual game lore of the DOA FG genre. But then again, a DOA7 is not even a guaranteed either. I never really digged into that character since I stopped before she joined the game, but if I was still playing, you gotta learn her yeah.

from the way KT refuse to acknowledge DOA6 existence, i don't think we're going to see a DOA7 at all

@HHH816 And don't forget that DOA6 didn't sell too great. :/
