That's a good point. I guess it's true in real life, too, with like UFC and WWE. Actually I would love it if Donovan turned into a wacky Vince McMahon character. I guess that's kind of what he was in the DOA movie.

I don’t think DOA’s stories have ever been amazing, but they’re better than most other fighting games at it. Where DOA especially shines is that almost every character has something interesting to do, and is given a decent amount of attention. I hope at some point they move away from “evil...

Being overpowered is just one component of Hayabusa’s problematic inclusion in DOA. My argument has always been that his existence has a derailing effect in DOA (for both being overpowered and not being integrated as a meaningful character), and it was made worse by how Dimensions shoehorned him...

That proves my point, though. Hayabusa’s retconning and general overpowered-ness creates plot holes. If you have to come up with extra-canonical explanations or pull from outside games to explain key story points and character decisions, that’s generally a plot hole. Also, the explanations...

Heck, you don’t see them adding people to help Hayabusa defeat the Tengu either. It’s a bad idea all around to diminish Kasumi and Ayane’s accomplishments with a dude showing up to hog the win. Also Kasumi in particular needs to have a couple major feats to justify DOATEC’s relentless interest...

Me: “Oh boy! They’re streaming people playing DOA6, I can’t wait to get a better look at all the characters!” *Players proceed to only pick Kasumi and Hayabusa.”

Awesome! You're a prince.

I've got another idea for DOA6 guest characters: Primal Rage! That fighting game was awesome, and I'm sure it would be easy to balance having the DOA gang fight 100ft tall dinosaurs like it's Shadow of the Colossus. Jann Lee kicked a dinosaur, there's precedent.

For real, though, who's making Marie Rose cry? Don't make that girl cry, she will knife you.

Winning a tournament was literally the only thing Hayabusa has done of note before Dimensions, and even then (like I said before) he still had no arc or meaningful relationships with other characters. Heck even the “story” of him winning is nonexistent, he just fights a demon out of nowhere...

No, I don’t mean just unnecessary to the main DOATEC plot, he’s unnecessary to every other plot and character, just like a guest character. He’s unique in that if you remove him, the dynamics of everyone else wouldn’t change at all. Every other DOA fighter has their own little arc and reason...

It really shines a light on how unnecessary Hayabusa has always been to DOA, he’s the eternal guest character. It’s like if Link kept showing up in every Soul Calibur and they came up with retcons about how Hyrule is next door to Raphael’s house.

Yes, I know what aliasing and anti-aliasing are, but my point is that you don’t notice either in-game unless you take a screenshot and zoom in really close. The quality of graphics can’t be judged by zoomed in screenshots in a game, you have to look at how it moves. And there’s no one who’s...

Seeing that the extremely expensive Kingdom Hearts has the same "bad" pixely hair, it makes me think that it's a deliberate choice that makes hair look better in animation and just happens to look weird when you take a screenshot and zoom in. There is, after all, a proud tradition of good...

Okay what's this thing about NiCO looking like Marie Rose just because she's also petite? Half the roster has an identical busty body shape and people cry foul when now there's a second character that doesn't have big boobs? They have different faces, at least as different as DOA faces can...

Give Kokoro a pixie cut, you cowards

Wait no, DOA6 should have guest characters, but they should be from Dark Souls. Give me Artorias doing spin kicks and Solaire doing pile drivers and then praising the sun.

She looks quick again. I spent so much time acclimating my brain to DOA5’s stun game, it’s going to take some time to embrace my much preferred DOA3 version of Helena.
