  • DOA4 was the boldest in terms of design, DOA5 was the best competitively, DOA6 lost its identity trying to please everyone (and making Nico, Honoka, and Marie Rose story driven characters. IMO they made story mode so unserious).

    Something to be said for DOA 3 though. Simplified movelists and controls with extremely fast movement speed and large stages. It was unintendedly good once you understood how it was played, particularly with 3.1/3.2. And nothing in the series has really come close to its dark tone and palette, with perhaps the original DOA 2 being a runner up.

    I've always thought that 3.1/3.2 was considered the best competitively.
    DOA4 was the most ambitious presentation-wise and gameplay-wise, or boldest like you said.
    DOA5 was the most successful in terms of pleasing everyone (competitively and otherwise).
    DOA6 was the worst in terms of pleasing anyone.
    Akira was the best character throughout DOA5, prove me wrong?

    Not even just PP. Even throws contributed since majority is not breakable.

    One 64T into a combo because someone stepped one time (assuming the player predicted the step) and you can't break the throw in DOA terms does provide decent hints that Akira isn't as disadvantage as people made it out to be from linearity.

    Oh I was referring to Hayate in DOA5LR. Do I agree with Japan in that he was the best character in all of DOA5? Maybe but I also haven't played DOA5LR in a while. I know for certain he had a lot of amazing tools. 4P being one of them. Move was so good, they had to nerf it in DOA6. Agree with what DB said bout Akira.

    Yeah, I wish Akira got more respect. He was definitely overshadowed by the likes of Helena, Christie, Gen Fu (and Ninja's).
    Started playing other characters in VF to help with learning matchup's. Recently trying out Kage Maru.
    Looking at Nyo-Tengu's moveset wondering why I never played this character. Sick stun game, i12 launch throw/ceiling throw, her pp by itself is nasty because of the range and that it stuns on NH and because of it's options.. she has OH's, oki, and her 6T is a mixup. Complete via tournament character

    fingers crossed she comes back in DOA7, or they can bring back Bankotsubo, or screw it they can bring 'em both back, I unironically love every variation of the tengu in this franchise
    People who don't normally play SFVI are rushing back because Sagat is out, and only end up playing for one week, or two at the most lol.
    Shout out to xCal also winning BlazBlue Central Fiction at evo this weekend. He has been cooking in that game with Carl Clover for awhile now.

    Yeah we been keeping tabs together on social media. He's been at it for a long while.

    I always liked seeing him and others traverse in other games instead of locked behind one. Major props.
    The new VF6 gameplay looks sick. Happy they're keeping it fast paced. Can't wait for more at TGS.

    Yes, but it almost looks like it got some MK-vibes which I'm very wary about it, and a mix of DOA with that punch delivered by "Stella".
    Think I'll get NG: Ragebound for the switch. Enjoyed the steam demo. I thought I wouldn't like the retro 2D art style, but it grew on me. Also has fun puzzles and mechanics.
    Finally finished Clair Obscur Expedition 33 - they turned the theme of grief and how we cope with death into such a masterful story with probably the best turn-based gameplay mechanics. Don't think I've played a game with that powerful of a story. Can't wait for the film adaptation.
    Maybe NRS should quit making fighting games.

    What are you guys' thoughts on Injustice? That game hasn't seen a sequel since 2017. But yeah, I just want NRS to stand by a game or just not bother and try something else.

    Most would assume I'd main Catwoman based on my personality, but of all characters, I never thought I'd see myself maining Cyborg.

    I also wanted to git gud with Manta just on the aura of his victory pose alone.

    @Force_of_Nature minus the gear system, Injustice 2 is really solid, it has a large cast of varied and fun characters, despite being keep away/zoner heavy the balance is great, it's an NRS title that respects legacy skill, only thng that brings it down is having optional character moves tied to random gear, especially since alot of those moves feel like they should be in characters base kits
    Well, it was it either City of the Wolves or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I enjoyed the city of the wolves beta but realistically I won't play it long term, and I haven't played an exciting RPG in awhile.
    hm the Switch 2 livestream was interesting. Alot of third party support games (and good ones), but was hoping for more exclusives. I think I'll still try to get one the S2 day one
    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is looking to replace my love for Final Fantasy XIII. Don't remember the last time I was excited for a RPG.
