Garbage, misinformed speculation about Shimbori

Plus it doesn't help the game has been a mess from the costume unlock to the delayed lobbies to the still recurring game glitches and even the character models having visible issues and other things, I really feel like the game just wasn't meant to be released so soon. But hey, maybe him stepping down should add improvement to the game's longevity, we don't want a knock off situation like other games like when SF released with barely any base game content and when T7 had its story and lack of base content called out. But at this point, idk if DOA6 has much else to lose since reception of it has been generally mixed

Sure, the game had a false start, but these things can be easily fixed if the new director has a creative mind:
Get everyone on the even playing field again.
That's the most important thing.
They need to focus on clearing up the existing ISSUES before releasing more DLCS and all that jazz. They can delay the Season Pass contents for all I care. They've already delayed the game once. Having these DLC deadlines to attend to whilst neglecting other issues isn't going to work for them.
DELAY THE FUTURE DLCS AND LISTEN TO GAMER FEEDBACK FIRST.
That would get some momentum going again until DOA6 Ultimate.
- Free patch to add additional stages (Road Rage at night, bottom level of the Colosseum, Colosseum at night, the street stage during day). This shouldn't be hard to pull off considering they're already in the game.
- Porting over DLC assets from DOA5LR to be purchased with in game currency and making them available to all females/males.
- A new free DLC release to promote lobby matches. Give fighters their classic outfits like they did for DOA5 and recycle the circus stage from DOA5 with new lighting etc.
- Release the wrestling pre-order DLC as free content in June like how they managed the Tekken Tag 2 character DLC, along with Phase-4 and Nyotengu.
- Those who have purchased these DLCs beforehand get:
- Exclusive titles
- Exclusive recolours
- Special ranking assigned (like a Purple A)
- Free tokens to purchase future DLC.
- Those who have purchased these DLCs beforehand get:
- Allow individual DLC purchases.
Get everyone on the even playing field again.

We are talking about Koei here, they would rather prefer the game to die than giving for free so much content to their money bags.
This isn't the only Koei game that had these issues ... in fact almost every Koei release since 1/2 years ago is like this or even worse.

It got objectively more attention than before EVO Japan. You know, the previous meme was Dead on Arrival 6.

Producer is the higher rank... Some "demotion"

Its higher rank in the fact that he gets paid more otherwise a director is still a more important and hands-on role in deciding the "direction" of a product. DOA6's direction is in shambles with poor sales, reviews, and criticized for being an unfinished rushed product by reviewers, casuals and hardcore DOA fans alike. He and KT are obviously disappointed by his performance at the role and he definitely takes a majority of the blame or he wouldn't have "stepped down" from the position in the first place.

Maybe that picture of Shimbori being Break Blow'd... should include you because nothing you stated makes sense and maybe Bayman should help "clear" your head.
The dude simply became a Producer, that's not a "demotion", that's nothing. He returned to his previous post as he has too many projects as it is and could very well be in danger of being overworked.
LOL, you can not tell launch that is not groundbreaking success from trainwreck. Let me show you couple of real trainwreck launches: FIGHTING EX LAYER and SNK HEROINES Tag Team Frenzy . DOA6 is doing relatively fine.
1. DOA6 launch was not a false start. TN implemented all the essential features, released the game and announced update plans. If we look at weeks after DOA6 launch it is easy to see that TN is actively working on at least two DOA6 branches and another branch is most likely waiting for platform holders' approval. This and patch notes show that TN is not only working on DLC but also is fixing issues and developing new features. It is a right way to release a software product today. DOA6 launch shows that Shimbori is a good modern producer.
2. So you say that giving away some big dumb dump of freebies and carrying crap from previous iteration is "the most important thing"? That giving early adopters exclusive bling would "get everyone on the even playing field"? Are you nuts? Look at SC6: highest spike in players count post launch was right after 2B's release and nobody noticed Amy. So the most important thing now is to make DOA6 bigger and bolder, to create stuff that will wow people, not some existing-stage-but-at-night crap only digital hoarders care about.
It feels like Shimbori is out of ideas now. If you look through DOA newcomers: Naotora, Mai, Diego, NiCO - IMO they all lack something, some spark. Unforgettable stage is not only stroll down the memory lane but also glimpse of opportunities lost, sad bunch of quiet "if only"-ies. It shows me that DOA6 needs new director, somebody who can came up with seemingly crazy stuff even I cann't dream of. For example person who proposed first frames of BB to be Hold. Here is to new DOA6 director! Thing big, break couple of things, excite us!
