Okay, I know Ayane made Kasumi swear to let her deal with Miyako when they confront her, but I don't think it actually said she actually did kill her. The bit of the story he did reveal indicated she decapitated a footsoldier and merely revealed to Kasumi their village's destruction, after...

So, wait, how on earth does Lisa exist in the first place, or for that matter, how on earth did Kasumi end up at that hotel room for Xtreme 2 in her DOA4 ending? To say little about Niki. Those games had to have happen in order for those bits to even occur at all, for some characters to exist...

Not really. Probably the only real retcon was Genra being revealed to have been evil from the start and maybe Kasumi having some help in defeating Raidou. Everything else was largely as is. And I'm pretty sure the DOAX games weren't retconned, since Lisa's still in the series.

No, Canon is continuity. It is not simply something one decides willy nilly, even if that someone is the guys who created it. Otherwise, would you say Kasumi's canonically a boy if Team Ninja decided to out of the blue change her gender? Besides, I've already seen far too many instances in...

That's why I specifically said Gameplay and Story Segregation and made sure I referenced how you can have Broly undergo a "Risking it All for a Friend" scene for Goku in Burst Limit, and that was despite the fact that canonically (well, kind of, since Broly's a movie character, and the game was...

DOAX3 might have been dubious canon, but DOAXBV and DOAX2 most certainly were canon (don't forget, DOAXBV is pretty much the reason why Lisa and to a certain extent Niki are even characters in the series at all, and aside from that, Zack's ending in DOA3 practically foreshadowed that game. Also...

If Diversity is done right, like, say, Lando Calrissian in the Original Trilogy, where there's nothing outright highlighting his ethnicity, I don't mind it one bit. But when it's the kind of diversity like, say, the stuff JJ Abrams does in Star Wars or even the Supergirl TV series where they at...

Unfortunately, you're not going to have much luck on that front, especially when Gamespot doesn't keep Japanese transcripts (we would have found them by now if they did). Maybe if he gave the interview with, say, Dengeki PlayStation instead, we'd probably have more of a chance. And personally...

Well, to be fair, I actually did like the motive Diego had regarding helping his mom. It was similar to Gen Fu's motives in the earlier games. I've always been a bit of a sucker for family values stuff. That's probably one reason why I thought DOA's story was ultimately better than Metal Gear's...

Well, aside from him implying that women who are naturally well-endowed are considered inhuman, or the fact that he based the recent designs in DOA6 on the worst elements of Marvel Comics' current lineup (which includes outright duds), there's also the fact that he and Tom Lee in an interview...

I realize you're being sarcastic with that remark, but if I must be honest, DOA's story, all of the games I should add, certainly deserves the descriptor of AAA-quality story far more than Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, or, heck, any Kojima-made Metal Gear game barring maybe MGS1 and...

Yeah, I wasn't impressed with DOA6's story either, and I got into DOA precisely because of its story and messages.

Here you go: And here's the youtube video timestamped to that scene: Now, compare the individual in the tank to the two screenshots from DOA2U and DOA4 regarding Maria, and they don't even look anything alike. In fact, if anything, she looks more like Kasumi (to say little about how she's...

Well, they had to get to MIST Labs somehow.

Who knows, maybe it dealt with the trivia. I do find it especially odd that the trivia had Irene Lew of all people doing something as important as getting Ryu and Kasumi over to MIST's labs, especially when she otherwise isn't even ALLUDED to in the game.

Eh, having followed the storyline, I'd probably say it's actually pretty bereft of plotholes barring DOA6 (the whole Honoka and Marie Rose meet each other for the first time despite DOA5LR and DOAXVV indicating they're long-time BFFs thing) and possibly DOA5 (depending on how you go by the False...

To be fair, DOA6 did try to do exactly what you suggested about trying to be taken seriously, and that was such an absolute disaster that even DOA4 during its stint in the tournaments had far better chances at actually BECOMING a tournament-based fighter than DOA6 did. Besides, believe it or...

Somehow, I don't think he would have been the type to just spare Maria even if she hadn't taken the bullet for Helena (and let's not forget he tried to kill Helena to get rid of any potential competition. I don't think he's going to be particularly merciful to Maria). As far as feelings for...

Nah, it definitely wasn't Maria. I even have a couple of reasons why it's unlikely to be her: 1. The inhabitant's hair in the tank was far too long to be Maria's, reaching up to her back. In the various flashbacks, Maria's hair only reached to her neck at most. It looked more to be Kasumi's...

Well, technically, DOA did know its identity... back when it was DOA1-4, and to a lesser extent Dimensions. Unfortunately, starting with 5, it seems like they're unsure what direction to take the series in.
