This game is in truth probably the only 3D fighter that I really have a decent amount of experience with. But the community, especially online seems incredibly childish, and hateful. I mostly have a 2D fighting game background.
I've noticed a big difference in the community in DOA. About 75% of players you come across get incredibly salty about different play styles. The majority, will begin to insult you, send you hate mail, bitch and moan the entire time you start playing them. Example of what they will say.
- You spam the same moves
- You run away
- All you do is throw!
- You just keep doing that same thing into that same combo
- You are terrible, learn how to play the game right!
And if they happen to take a round for whatever reason, they will usually start attacking your character repeatedly while they are down in such an angry fashion! lol
This isn't just something I come across every once in a while, it's something I see all the time. Granted I play some Hayate, and Ein a good bit, and they are somewhat iffy up close, and their best tools are in mid range. Usually I play up close with Hitomi, unless they are a Speedster like Kasumi, or Christie. Then I'll most likely start spacing with her 236P, 46P, 236K, 6H+K, and 2P+K.
Now I know there is the occasional salty talk, or hate mail in other fighters, like Street Fighter, UMVC3, GG, Smash, BB, Uniel, KOF, etc. But it just feels ridiculous, to constantly be insulted for trying to play my characters the right way. Feels like the only way people will be happy, is if both players are at point blank range, and throwing out attacks at random and praying.
So what makes the DOA community so salty? Compared to others fighting game series? And how do you explain to someone that with a slower character, I'm not going to be able to effectively rush down someone like Christie and live to tell about it, with someone like Ein.
