So, i think, like in gameplay, the story matchups boil down to a fighter adapting better to what the enemy can do and coming out on top, is not an absolute: I'm stronger. SO i don't think that DOA story is that mismatched with gameplay.

Sorry, i'm not really putting my thoughts in very cohesive fashion. Let me try to put everything on a more clear manner. While there are clearly stronger characters overall, all DOA characters are over the top due to the nature of the game, and they all are really good at what they do... CONT.

So i think that in-game balance of DOA doesn't mismatch the character's strenghts in story that much, because is not much about how strong a character is, but how skilled that character can be and how he or she deals with the fights. Leifang is probably as skilled as Jann Lee, but it is clear...

But there are characters that are on a completely different playing field, like the Ninjas, the boss characters, and maybe a couple of fighters like Gen Fu, Jann and Hitomi have shown to be on a different scale than the other regular fighters.

Since most DOA characters are masters at their fighting style, i think it is safe to assume that they are mostly on an even playing field, and that win-loss is extremely situational. Cont.

Story skill and power is different from in-game balance though. Ryu is the most powerful character in the cast, yet he is not top tier.

Not me. That is my definition of a high level player

wait, can Underage people use dating apps?

Also, Ninjas are cool. Jo Hayabusa for DOA 6.

And really, gameplay wise you can't compare many of them, they're vastly different even on a fundamental level. But if you want another example, Street Fighter focus around Ansatsuken (the shotos), and let's see how many there are: Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sakura, Dan, Sean, Oni, Evil Ryu and Gouken...

@DontForkWitMe Tekken is around the Mishimas, a family, a bloodline, and while there is few "mishimas" gameplay wise, there is a lot of characters directly related to the Mishimas. DOA has the story around the Mugen tenshin clan, not only a family, but a small society.

Rachel isn't really that dominatrix based... I mean, i can kinda give with her 2K on downed oponents, but that is about it, i give her leather suit more being based on 80's metal visuals in general, and personality wise she has nothing dominatrix about her.

Well, DOA is about ninjas, a thing that other fighting games aren't. So, who are the dominatrix themed characters? I can only think of Christie and Nyotengu.
