Can DOA finally be taken seriously?

[DR2K]

^^ There wasn't much competition last night except for two people who actually knew how to play the game.

In short, he's seeing dollar signs for this game and he might host sessions or tournaments for the game in London.

Well it's a prerelease event, no one has even begun to scratch the surface of the game, iirc a bunch of scrubs were picked over players that knew better according to Emporercow.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't fighting games in general taken more seriously these days compared to when DOA4 was current? If so, I'd say DOA5 has a good chance just on that alone, but it's looking solid enough to hold it's own weight anyway.

No.

Trolls love it when others get down to their level. Better to ignore the chat unless you really want to ask a question..or if there's a giveaway lol.

Absolutely, anyone that says otherwise is living under a rock. Every major has gotten bigger and better since SFIV, the involvement of major companies, streaming, online play has increased the number of overall tournament players and quality much higher.

You're acting like there was no such thing as a scene when DoA4 was current... the FGC was still huge at that point. Of course its expanded, but Tekken, SF, VF, SC all had big scenes. Its not like it recently happened. DoA5 doesn't have a better chance because the scene is bigger. If it were DoA4 again, at this same time, it would have the same fate.

Yeah, people jacked around the players in that tourney/stream.

Well, alright. Cool beans, then. I definitely expect DOA5 to have some real competitive life in the tournament scene. Even if it's just for a couple of years.

 

[kupo]

Well, I'm doing the best I can to promote DoA5 on my country/community. This game definitely deserves a chance imo.

I didn't say there wasn't a scene, I just said it was drastically increased.

128 people just entered a DOA tournament in 2012, that's more than every single DOA event in its tournament history. The numbers kind of speak for themselves. There's really nothing else to discuss, I'm not going to try and convince you that water is wet.

DOA5 will be the biggest DOA competitvley yet, 100% guarantee.

 

[Awesmic]

They're stream monsters - the worst scum of the "FGC" (if they can even be said to be part of it), you really shouldn't give a damn what they say.

Oh, so that's what a stream monster is.


All this time I thought stream monsters were a reference to people who actually knew how to do quality streaming for a tournament. I didn't think it was a reference to trolls in a stream chat.

Well, I didn't notice those pro players on stream and it was 2 in the morning. Most people just wanted to go to sleep and Cow was taking things way too fucking seriously.

Double elimination for a game that no one has played at two in the morning in not someone's idea of fun.

 

[Jefffcore]

That ain't how it started. Some folks were saying "Oh, DOA is up next? I'm outta here" and some other mess. They attacked first, not us.

I had the stream open all day, I'm not sure that's true. If it was, doing it back is no different than them doing it. Returning fire just keeps the war going, it wont stop it.

I tried to protect the rep that DOA5 had going for it. But when they had to bash it for ENTIRE series talking about: "No one cares about Tit for Fighter 5" "DOA5 is for children" etc. etc. I tried to keep composure. They wouldnt even give the game a time of day.

Negativity generally instils more negativity. (I think that's the third time I've posted that now )

DoA can only be serious, and ONLY serious, once people stop bashing the damn game! It'll never see the light of day if multiple people keep shittin on the game, and a lot of times first impression is a norm for a lot of people. So when yall not building hype or getting people to play or understand the game, yall demoralize the whole game and people go to playing another one. So about the stream monster shit. I was defending the game when it needed to be, not just for the hell of it. Some of yall were literally agreeing with them like a few of yall. Have people ever heard the phrase, "As you think, so shall you become.." People really need to wake up....

 

[AegisOrnus]

Hell yes it can be taken seriously. I really can't say I've been as thoroughly entertained by any DOA matches the way I was when I was watching that Summer Jam stream and that's because Rikuto's matches had me sold that you could play the game in a serious, competitive way with your character and be rewarded for doing so. Just having that in the game makes it something that can succeed and become popular in my opinion. I just want the game to release so we can see some real competition going down.

And no, no amount of DOA-style TnA is going to turn away players. If the game's solid when they play it, it won't make a difference. If the visual style is that much more important than the way the game plays and how much fun it is and you don't like it, you should be playing another game to begin with. I personally think the style's evolved in a more mature way. I like how the ladies look like more realistic women (*opinion*) and every character seems to have plenty of attention being given to each individual personality.

Honestly, looking at what's actually in this game, it doesn't seem that any part of it was less important to the dev team than any other. From the story, modes available, costumes, stages, and character renovation, to lobbies, training mode, mechanics, and overall feel, this game feels like an extremely solid effort from every angle.

no thats fact whether or not its an improvement is the opinion.

It was just in case someone wanted to come along and say, "Really? You think real women look like that? Blah, blah, blah..."

None of that matters though.

People bash the game because it's been bad in the past. People not bashing it would be a product of the game being taken serious.

EVERY fighting game gets bashed on.

Get used to it.

Uh, wrong? The scene have been big for some fighters much before as stated. The new results has nothing to do with the scene being "bigger" but much more with some games getting more serious. Look at Mortal Kombat. No one took that game serious before because the depth wasn't to be taken serious to now. It has nothing to do with the size of the scene now. The same will go for DOA. If it want to be taken serious it's going to have to carry itself as a serious fighter.

Why are some of you purposely misquoting me? The size of the scene has helped expand every game, of course if the game is trash no one will play it, who stated otherwise? Some of you people and your selective reading.

I guess with this economy living under rocks is becoming more of a norm.
