1st off. They're both complex in their own ways. Anyone that say's DOA's simple is crazy. Yeah they got a bad rep a little for the fan service but that doesn't mean DOA is barebones. DOA has a lot of things for one to consider. The triangle system is enough to say that it's complex.

You must have a huge ass chest to keep all this contained in

But then there's environment, different stuns, different guarantees and tech, some characters have OH's and special parries, Alpha's barebones on the defensive side, some characters have different stances and stuff to consider, chaining combos, etc.

Tekken's complex with movement, dealing with inputs, That "Fend for yourself" mentality, Chaining combos, Some people have parries, low parries, environment (Not to the extreme of DOA), some characters have high execution, Combo's off lows, Combo's off Orbitals, Different stances, etc.

Now, this isn't aimed for those who play both legit or anyone who plays in a tournament scenario. Then by all means, speak your piece. But after that, the best way I'm going to put it is like this: If you play a game simple, it will be a simple game. This isn't just for DOA & Tekken, it's every game.

I play 2d's simple so I feel those are simple games to me. But I can understand those who dive deep into those and look to the complexity of their respected games. Same to me with DOA & Tekken. Now this doesn't mean there aren't simple characters or you can't play the game simple. That's why there's casual play.

But I can't go behind a random who played DOA for like 2 days and say "DOA's easy. That's why Tekken's the better game. Cause it's harder. More advanced." That's just plain ignorant.

@Bacaww Yup. I do. But there's times where I have to say something. Because I see promise in both games (Especially since DOA6's on the horizon). And it's unfortunate when I have people who have no idea what they're talking about try to bash both games. It's like when they tried to talk about my characters being simple but they never even touched them.

And yes I do bash both games. I'm a competitor, I hate losing, and I always voice my opinion. But, when I get to the nitty gritty, I don't hate DOA. I don't hate Tekken. Both are great games and a great challenge for me as I'm trying to be one of the best pure 3d fighters (Hopefully VF comes back and SC as well).
