I play Dead or Alive for the plot
>>12052305I play it because it doesn't feel sluggish like other fighters. And also because of the tits.
>>12052310It does have the best combat flow, shit like street fighter feels like dialing combinations into a rotary phone as fast as possible in comparison
I don't play it, but if I did, I'd be playing it only because Mai is playable in non-retro entries.
I play Rumble Roses for the plot
>>12052313It's seriously underrated. Every blow feels satisfying as fuck
>>12052325It was my favorite fighting game series, I just hate how they went full gacha pricing model with DoA 6 and want to paywall literally fucking everything
>>12052332I think the franchise was always doomed simply because the cultural perception we had of eastern mystique eventually crumbled. In DoA's case, MMA got popular in the 2000's, and putting every fighting style up against each other made it clear that Bruce Lee monkey jumping was completely impractical. Indeed, much of DoA is the exact Hong Kong action movie monkey jumping that makes you liable to get fucking bodied by an opponent half your weight with how stupid it is. Mortal Kombat also has an eastern twang, but it's still popular today because it leans super hard into the fantasy side of things; it justifies its mystical orientalism in a way DoA doesn't.
Kill yourself
>>12052376seethe
>>12052353I mean fighting games aren't based in reality, and DoA must be selling well if they keep cranking out endless DLC slop for the modern iteration
>>12053001No, I am FUCKING SICK of your frogposting. It ADDS NOTHING to the board and RUINS THE COMMUNITY.WE ALL HAVE TO SHARE THIS PLACE.
>>12053027not my problem
>>12052310My favorite aspect of DOA is how satisfying the hit sounds were. Never liked Tekken's or Virtua Fighter's.
>>12053020How you build the premise of your fictional world still matters. The fantasy elements in DoA like demons and shit are all background stuff, because front and centre DoA is all about karate and stuff. These demons are absolute pussies too, since they're defeated not with DBZ energy blasts like in Street Fighter, but with karate. The focus really is on ninjas and shit.
>>12052319the first one actually had story. XX was just a rag doll simulator
>>12053020>DoA must be selling well if they keep cranking out endless DLC slop for the modern iterationMaking costumes for gooners is cheap work and a guaranteed profit. The actual game itself isn't moving anything though.

>>12052305I reply to shit threads to keep them on page 1
>>12053658Are either of them good if I like wrestling?
Remember when frogs used to get removed from /vr/, I 'memba.
>>12054363It was during the same time where posts the janny didn't like would get deleted as well even if they were on topic.
>>12054363>>12054728I much prefer current /vr/
