Itagaki spits on casual games... just the Alpha 152 boss alone dismisses that idea. Fighting games were not as popular when DOA4 came out and it was an extremely good product on release. IF he knew FGC would have gotten this big he may have stayed, but he felt DOA4 was a complete fighting game...
I will always love DOA to the maximum, but the Itagaki part of it is something I would love to see return someday. That man truly knew how to give me what I wanted.
He could have sold that user up a tree, but he was honest and quick to respond. Felt that Momiji and Rachel were complete characters in NG --some creators move on and the game changed since he was last in it.
At Grunt... he made Ninja Gaiden Black. Moving on... Itagaki is a god, he owes no one any explanation. They have the characters he created, he defeated them in court; and they are not friends. There is no good blood to expect praise... but if it wasn't for him there would be NO DOA.
There is a lot of new Dead or Alive 6 content for the community to dissect and look into, including downloadable move-lists, more hands-on time from the pros, and even some guides that lead to some hard-hitting damage this early on. If you discovered anything from the exhibition or would like to...
It was smart for Team NINJA to take the two most generically named and looking characters in the game and give 'em their own trailer so they don't invade a good one. No, I'm definitely not thrilled with Diego at all.
Though it makes sense he's fighting Rig... because he's equally as generic in design with poor clothing choices and a strange look. I had no interest in Rig either when he was announced so I will wait and see what happens.
