I said this the other day & I believe I said it here not too long ago. I can't remember, but I never really had a problem with fan service or characters being eye candy. Some service is not bad. What I do have an issue with & I've stated this 1,000s of times beforehand whenever people were...
@Force_of_Nature we have similar avatars. I'm about to change it to something else. Yeah I came to 19 notifications, but I like that this is a good discussion. So I don't mind it. I do reiterate with people who disagree with me. I am not saying that fanservice is bad. Just do not prioritize it...
Yeah, & whenever people try to bring up SFV's fanservice, Cammy's default, Ivy, Mai, etc, they seem to be nostalgia blind by the fact that Itagaki was the one who started the entire thing by attracting these kind of fans with the excessive stuff. So it makes their arguments weak. Namco & Capcom...
People would give them the same kind of criticism that this franchise has always been scrutinized for. I have Chun-Li's 2 swimsuits too. They're sexy as fuck, but again, I use her fighting costumes more because I respect her for the character archetype.

I use female fighters mostly because they're usually mobile in some way even more than the males whether it be speed or forward/backdashing, & walkspeed. A fighter is a fighter. If they suit me better than a male, then they get the job for me. No discriminating here.
Granted that a little fan service isn't that bad, but people ask for way too damn much for DOA & they do too much of it. I have swimsuits here & there but only a few that I like, but I hardly even play in them. I use their fighting gear. It's not why I play fighting games with girls.
I meant to tag you, too @King Anubis. DOA6 will have its own exclusive mechanic to the game. The bursts, power blows, & launchers were exclusive to DOA5. Whenever you make a new game, they leave everything that's revolves around core mechanics & implement a mechanic that would be exclusive to...
