Why the hate for Dead or Alive?

I’m sorry this has to be the funniest thing I’ve ever read.

BTW, T5 and SC3 are both supremely broken games, thats why anyone who cares plays T5DR and SC3AE instead.

Didn’t JustOwnin post some stupid challenge regarding SvC a while ago, got called out on it, and then ran away like a bitch? LAWL! :rofl:

theres alot of factors that go into determining depth. Execution is part of it but the engine of the game, the speed and the mind game behind it. All of that contributes to the “depth” of the game.

but yea I would say marvel is deeper than 3s because of the execution and actual speed of play.

:zzz: what did you place at Evo?

Dead Or Alive 4

  1. Carl White (Perfect Legend)

Looks like you got owned by at least 6 people son. You’ve got a lot to learn before you beat them. Try again, kiddo!

What I find funny is that in most non-DOA sites, DOA4 is regarded as a huge improvement over the ones that came before it, whereas in DOACentral, DOA4 is hated on even by some of it’s top players. Most of them say that 3.1/3.2 is the superior game (mainly because of the side-step game, frame advantage, etc.).

One thing I find rather funny: In almost all DOA games (ESPECIALLY 4) the ninjas are either top tier or upper tier. They have the Mishima syndrome I guess, but they only need about half the skill. Not saying that they’re scrub characters, it’s just that the Mishimas are the epitome of the term “not noob-friendly”. I mention DOA4 because TN actually found a way to beef up Hayabusa and (to a lesser extent) Hayate, Kasumi, and Ayane. The ninjas are beefed up in expense of the grappler characters, I guess (Bass…).

that’s becuase most everyone on other sites played doa 3.0 not 3.1 or 3.2.

:sweat: W0000ooo boy! Sho is hot up in here?! I wanna play DOA4, but I ended up giving it to my cousin. It’s like 25buck here in Tokyo. So I might pick it up again.

Does anyone know of any good Bass, Lei Fang, or Tina videos or Strats. I got someboby in mind that I want to be down!

Like I really wanna try to get into DOA4, but I fucking skateboarded for about 2 miles on the worst side walk ever in the cold. Just to get DOAX2! :rofl:

not at all… i don’t mind the boobs one bit…

what i DO mind, however… is the fact that until DoA4, none of them were good in terms of fighting games… after giving the fourth one more htan 10 minutes of time… i’ve come to realize that shit, it’s pretty fucking decent.

as callmeanewb said… the other games were rock / paper / scissors with boobs… just pick a random direction and mash on the free button.

I think there was a few matches (I think it was 5 matches) of this tournament on video. Anyone got the link for this?

Continue?

:rofl:

As for the DOA series, they are just simple fun games where you can counter almost everything without worrying too much about frame buffers.

I would love to get a 360 so I can play DOA4 but I just wish Sega would port DOA 4 to Lindberg or Taito to port it to the latest version of System X and sell it to arcades. This series needs to return to the arcades. If there is a Need for Speed Arcade game, why not the latest Dead or Alive?

It wasn’t a tourney though.

i wanna know why the hell a game with ultimate simplicity is in a tournament anyway??

games like 3s or marvel are hard to master so that means it builds pride in each competitor because he/she has to do all kinds of shit just to survive, watching that is more interesting, and getting involved is more safer cos the possibilities arent limitless like doa4

i like doa 4 ALOT, cos it requires mind games, me actually feeling like what i do is my own independant idea’s

i know saying this may be agaisnt some people but i live in the U.K, theres not much of a fighting game scene here, and if there was id be playing marvel or 3s MUCH more often cos of the social experience i would have which iv had growing up since i was 8

i dont know why people compare doa to other fighters i think thats the dumbest thing iv ever seen, which is ALWAYS repeated

people just dont learn that fighting games can be more diffrent than they realize, and its because of people saying games SHOULD be this and that way because it agree’s with your conditioned limited brain pattern is what is REALLY killing the gaming industry.

no offence, but you know, its a downwards spiral till you learn to open your god damn mind :rolleyes:

I thought they were all good for 3d fighters…but Tekken,VF, and SC are light years ahead.If DOA just didn’t have so many impossible things happen during play people would like it more…stuff like counters taking out a ridiculous amount of damage.AND COUNTERING BEING A RIDICULOSLY MAJOR PART OF THE GAME.in some cases if you don’t counter u lose.no blocking no side stepping just counter.

Countering is honestly cononable in DOA, IF they toned down the damage. It creates that three way deadlock unique to DOA. Well, here’s hoping DOA5 is based off of DOA3.1/2 rather than DOA2 like DOA4 was.

y did the story line suck so hard after DOA2…and why the fuck are Ein and Hayate on the same game hen they’re are he same person.

Because…Hayate was the story character and Ein was an extra character. Is that really so hard to understand? Considering we’re Street Fighter fans, we really have no right to complain about convoluted storylines in game. If you must really know, Ein was trained by Hitomi’s father and thus present during her storyline. After DOA2, Ein remembered he was Hayate and returned to being a ninja for DOA3 onwards. I’d like to see a version of Hayate that uses elements from Ein. That would have some top tier bullshit coming out of everywhere.

like you said i’d also like to see Hyate wit Elements from Ein and for Ein to not vbe in the game anymore and just Hayate.It’s not hard for me to understand why Tecmo put both Ein and Hayate in the same game but i would have better if it wasn’t that way.

at least Ein and Hayate fight different…unlike Ryu and Evil ryu…cant wait till someone says well evil ryu had the charge super and the other one didnt…doa is like a tekken expect hella faster…just doa is more of a if you know what they gonna do then counter…tekken is like if you know then counter what they gonna do by moves…etc…
