But I'm not here to discuss those games. DoA5 had more depth to offer and untapped potential. Oki, freestep dash cancel which the community barely scratched the surface with, unholdables, guaranteed setups, stage interactions.
Just because people like SCIII does not mean the collective wants to play it. The game had a lot of replay value, and was fun. Collectively no one wanted to play that competitively, let's be real. SC3 and 4 were terrible.
They're not going to play VF4 when VF5 is superior. MVC2 still has tournaments being played as well. Overall DOA6 is just a terrible title. The stages got worse, the story got worse, and the gameplay got worse. While I like DOA6 Brad over DOA5 it's not going to make me want to play DOA6 more.
And Smash Melee had two full games come out after it, and people still preferred it. In fact their community I believe hated Brawl. Similar situation with DoA. The community as a collective hates DOA6. Revert back to a game that has more depth. The Marvel and VF community does not have to revert...
People are talking about it's hard going back to playing DoA5 because it's outdated. The Marvel community played MVC2 for how long? Japan has kept VF5 alive since the game launched, and the Smash community has been playing Melee competitively forever....
