    Still doesn't change my overall point, that there are in fact canon spinoffs. And besides, aren't side stories the same thing as spinoffs? Well, either way, we need to stop talking about it right now, and get back to the actual subject. Since I didn't get Tamaki (just her Birthday cake), I'll...

    Okay, spent the past hour transcribing all of Luna's win quotes as well as her point loss quotes. They are the following: Point win quotes *Leave it to me. Boing. (depicted as her preparing to do her trademark double-v pose) *Of course. (Luna doing a mixture of a thumbs up and flexing her...

    I already told you that being a spin-off doesn't make something automatically non-canon, and even gave you quite a few examples of canonical spinoffs in various series. Unless you can give me evidence indicating the DOAX series is non-canon that DOESN'T involve the DOAX series being a spinoff in...

    Like I said, if it weren't canon, DOA4 would have zero reason to add in Lisa to the roster, not to mention it wouldn't have done the endings for Kasumi and Zack in that game as we know them. So no, it's still very much canon. And fine, go right on ahead and put me on your ignore list. It only...

    Spinoff =/= non-canon (not necessarily, anyways). I can actually name a few spin-offs of various franchises that actually ARE canonical. Like for example, Resident Evil: Code Veronica was marketed as a spinoff for the franchise, and that played a pretty key role in the plot of the overall games...

    I know I saw the source on one of the GameFAQs threads around the time DOAX2 was announced. However, knowing how GameFAQs deletes threads by a certain point, I can't say you'll find it there. And either way, I'd suggest you give proof that they gave official statements saying, in exact words...

    Actually, at the very least DOAXBV was canon, since Zack had to treasure hunt in order to restore his island, which was shown in DOA4 (and the destruction of said island occurred in DOAXBV). Also, Kokoro explicitly references her running away from home for DOAX2 when conversing with Fiona...

    By that logic, we might as well write out any and all of the DOA games as non-canon since no official statement exists for that either. Same goes for Dimensions. And as I pointed out (albeit in an edit), I think there was a press release by TN confirming that DOA4's Zack Ending was meant to...

    In case you haven't noticed my past posts, I actually hold DOAXVV in very high favor in SPITE of it being a gacha game, and if anything view it as an improvement over DOAX3. So that's the main reason I contribute to this thread. And despite my hatred of DOAX3, I also at the same time genuinely...

    If it weren't canon, they wouldn't have foreshadowed DOAX2 in Kasumi's ending for DOA4 (to say little about Zack's ending in the same game or for that matter Lisa and Niki being introduced in Xtreme Beach Volleyball). And Itagaki even created that ending SPECIFICALLY to fix what he deemed to be...

    Maybe not, but if we go by the corporate mind, they would easily interpret that as being part of the DOA fanbase as well and reflect that on the actual fighting games. I know if I were a corporate guy and I saw the results of the poll, not to mention used the line of thinking they did, I would...

    Got Luna. However, since I got her during a Rival's Event and thus need to make sure I get a high rank (not to mention use the opportunity to significantly level Luna up to at least Level 50), I'm probably going to wait on giving her victory/point win quotes and her lose/point loss quotes...

    Yeah, except in the case of Harley Quinn, similar to Broly in Dragon Ball Super, they had to rewrite her character somewhat for her to count as canon (for example, they made her a bit more nuts in the canon comics than in the DCAU, gave her an extensive makeover that made her look more like...

    Being a spinoff doesn't automatically mean non-canon, believe it or not. There are actually a few spinoffs that are fully canon to the main series. Like for example the Mega Man Xtreme series for Mega Man X. Not to mention Code Veronica and/or Resident Evil 3: Nemesis for Resident Evil (it's...

    Yeah, I still doubt it, since non-canon games simply cannot have their characters become canon, not with really extensive rewrites anyway. I'd know that from Dragon Ball and Metal Gear and the like. And that's not even counting retcons. Still, we can at least agree that the Xtreme series is...

    Well, no laws by government, but definitely unwritten rules at least. And no, a character debuting in a game CANNOT be canon if the events of a game they debuted in weren't canon. Last I checked, Chris Jenner was not canonical to the Metal Gear series, precisely BECAUSE she debuted in a...

    They actually did allude to the Xtreme series in the main games, twice even: In DOA3, Zack's ending resulted in DOAX. And in DOA4, aside from Zack's ending foreshadowing DOAX2 (this was even confirmed in an interview with one of the developers), Kasumi's ending featured the Gemstone Reef Suite...

    1. The Xtreme series is in fact canon (let's not forget, Lisa DEBUTED in the first Xtreme game. And aside from that, Niki debuted in DOAXBV, and played a role in Zack's ending in DOA4 which led directly to DOAX2, and heck, even had a cameo in DOA5. If the DOAX series isn't canon, then neither is...

    Not to mention since she clearly was in DOA6 despite her being the lowest ranked girl in that poll, it's very obvious the so-called "popularity poll" meant nothing (otherwise, Shimbori would have just had her die in the ending of DOA5 and rationalize callously that, since she's low ranked in the...

    Yeah, and the DOAXVV girls are after 5 as well, yet you seem to be singling out the DOAXVV girls.
