Good to hear, but I'm curious as to why complaints with the ground game were mostly North American. Is there a playstyle difference compared the Japanese scene?

Macca said that, not me

These new moves are hot fire, her mix-up is going to be even better than 5.

I do actually, that's a fair assessment.

Shimbori's just gotta stick with one narrative, which I think he's finally doing (a year too late, but still). It's the wishy-washy responses that led him into trouble. Just say what direction you want to take your game and stick with it. The "desexualization" controversy was obviously entirely...

What drives me nuts is that Soul Calibur, especially VI, is easily worse than any DOA game, because of how it's presented. In DOA fighters, all the sexiness is presented as something that's consensual and well within the agency of the characters- Tina wearing a bikini top because she wants to...

Yeah, I've played fighting games for 25 years, and I'm saying DOA6 is the first time I've gotten my non-fighting game friends to play a fighter besides Smash Bros, I don't know what else to tell you. You're talking like new players will never move beyond Fatal Rush because it's not going to be...

Regardless of how deep the S mechanics have made DOA, there really is something to be said about having a single button to do combos that new people find a lot less intimidating. I had a few non-fighting gamer friends over when the beta was going on and they were actually interested in playing...

Can there just be a pinned post that says “don’t worry, boobs still exist in the world” and we can all move on and talk about the fighting in this fighting game

Oh totally, it's nonsense. Luckily it seems like the S button doesn't resemble dumb phone games and Shimbori was just using a very bad analogy to describe the new feature.

Did folks see this? No huge revelations, but it confirms details about Honoka participating in (and being disqualified from) the 5th tournament. Also from the looks of it, the DOA Encyclopedia probably isn't chronologically ordered, since entry 1 is Honoka.

I don't think it's exactly madness to want to expand your audience. The FGC isn't very big, and won't grow unless there's a reason for new people to play those games. I'm an old-school Virtua Fighter nerd, I love ultra-complex fighter mechanics, but I also like to have people to play with...

Yeah exactly. I feel like too many people are ready to lose their minds over the tiniest bit of unconfirmed "news." How many times have we seen folks go "I can't believe they didn't put X in there" despite X being in every DOA game ever and also two months later X is in the next DOA6 build. The...

Do we actually know for certain those costume numbers are for what’s going to be at launch, or just what’s in the current build journalists, etc. are playtesting?

I actually have a theory that they liked having Jacky Bryant from Virtua Fighter in DOA5 and wanted to have their own "street fighter" character in DOA6. Diego's not really far off, aesthetically speaking. I don't really have a problem with Diego. he's a good beginner character for new players...

I'm not going to defend Diego's weak design, but I don't think they're pulling from any hispanic stereotypes for his look or personality. I'm latino and I've never seen a latino dude or even a stereotype look like him. Ratty jeans, tight jacket, and peacock hair really make him look more like a...

I love it. Buff Baji babes for life.

Yeah I said this in another thread, but everything in DOA is pretty cartoony with Naruto type ninjas and not one but two magical tengu characters. Also Zach exists and he’s essentially a Bugs Bunny character. I just don’t see how a petite woman who dies her hair blue is what we’ve decided is...

Real talk: I never gave Honoka a chance in DOA5 and wrote her off as a gimmick character. However after the new story info actually giving Honoka lore, plus theories like this, it’s really provided some good context for her. Even playing her makes more sense- that she’s basically got multiple...

Still kind of baffled at people calling a cartoony Japanese animated game “anime” as if this was a new development. Like, Ryu Hayabusa dresses like a cartoon ninja with a mask and sword to a martial arts tournament for adults and it’s a woman with blue hair that breaks the bank?
