The Most Bizarre Fighting Game Franchise Of All Time 

Honestly the franchise's biggest problem today is how it's DLC is being handled.

This is a weird franchise, but its nowhere NEAR the most bizarre fighting game. Not by a long shot

It had breakable backgrounds, as well as multilevel arenas. It was revolutionary.

Correction: Americans don’t like sexualization in certain media. Music Videos and ads however seem fine.

9:08 This is the thought that always comes to my mind whenever people react to Japan's censorship of gore. They'll be like "Japan is stupid for having so much tentacles and anime girls but are scared of blood and guts", but fail to realize that other places, especially America, allows extreme violence yet screams like a banshee and cry for censorship when a fictional, not-realistic, and hyperstylized anime girl have their cleavage exposed a little bit.

The issue with doa6 was it's outrageous predatory dlc schemes which killed the whole franchise. I didn't mind them trying to make it a bit more reigned in as a series veteran in terms of bouncing boobs, but when your telling me I have to pay every time I want to just change my characters hair color from one color to the other, and pay 100 dollars for just one season pass of costumes, the people in charge have clearly lost the plot

Euphoria: *has excessive nudity scenes of teenagers* Modern audience: “This is fine” Dead or Alive: *has fan service and attractive female characters in bikinis* Modern Audience: “ThiS iS WrOnG!!!”

I still don't get this problem with sex appeal in video games

You know, every fighting game franchise seems to have their "thing." For DOA, it's sex appeal. For Street Fighter, it's projectile attacks. For Mortal Kombat, it's blood and gore. For Tekken, it's long movesets. For Soul Calibur, it's weapons. For KOF, it's 3-on-3 fighting. For Virtua Fighter, it's deep fighting. For Bloody Roar, it's animal morphing. And so and so forth.

Still one of my favorite series. The juggle and different attacks patters mixed with the instant counters for those trying to span or just the ability to read before they do anything…just cursed with the extra, I mean idgaf I love the tit physics and sexualizarion…the dlc thing is it’s biggest problems

Wait, DoA was the Father of Counters AND Jiggle Physics?!

Me and my girl absolutely love this fighting game franchise. I myself am a huge fighting game fanatic, playing everything from Virtua Fighter to Brawlhalla, if that's even considered a fighting game, but my girl refuses to play any other fighting game with me due to how good I've gotten at them, but for some reason, no matter how much I try, I can't beat her at this game, no matter how much I study. (current record is 64-20 in her favor..) The mechanics of this game are so cool, from the stuns forcing a 4 way mixup between highs, mids, lows, and grabs, to it's complex but super fun juggle system, you never NOT have a unique interaction. Overall such a fun ass game, in my opinion.

The thing that DoA has always stood out for me is the fluidity of the combat, the counter/hold system and the interaction with the stages. Having pretty babes ( who are only 50% of the cast) is just the cheery on top.

I actually do like the fighting mechanics in Dead Or Alive. I don't mind looking like lil pervert. Game is worth it lol😊

America MK11: Rips off face and dunks it😇😇😇 DOA: Honokas oppai jiggle physics 🤬🤬😡😡 Me: visual confusion

I just hate the absurd amount of DLC Dead or Alive has now and the pricing of them. That honestly killed the series for me. That and it seemed like Dead or Alive 6 didn't have the passion to it that previous games had it.

I hope this video gets many views. We need DOA to come back with better DLC practices.

Personally the thing that ruined Dead or Alive for me the most was the new addition to the combat that all the main fighting games have now because of Mortal Kombat's success. Even though its technically different in DOA6. The addition of Fatal Stun attacks and Break attacks has just ruined the gameplay in my opinion. It feels like it was added to help players even the odds when they are getting owned. Kind of like the bone breaker move in Mortal Kombat 9, 10, & 11, and the critical edge + Soul Charge moves in Soul Calibur 6. This kinda stuff ruins these games for me. I feel its an unnecessary addition and makes the combat less fun. The other thing that is ruining it, to me, is the reselling of old characters instead of just including them day one. I don't mind paying for DLC characters, but it gets a bit scummy when its characters that existed in previous games from the start. Not to mention the sheer amount of DLC costumes and lack of actual in-game earned ones. I know all the fighting games do this to some degree, but DOA is especially egregious with it. It all just feels so predatory and less like they care about making a good fighting game and more about scamming you out of your money. However... it IS optional, still feels messed up. The lack of game modes kinda is disappointing as well. Story Mode is great, Survival is great, but the lack of like Tag Team, maybe some kind of innovation like how Tekken offers Tekken Force mode (a beat em up style mode), or bowling. Mortal Kombat has offered things like Chess and Motor Kombat (Kart Racing) as well as a full on open world-like story mode. It would just be neat to see Dead or Alive do something like that even if it were simply combining Beach Volleyball with the main series. Also, yes, downgrading the sex appeal of the characters hurts the game as well. Its more the principle of the thing. Don't give in to the censors and easily offended people. Make the game you wanted to make. Them trying to please the people who don't even wanna play their game is just sad and makes me lose respect for them. I'd feel the same way towards Mortal Kombat is they tried to tone down the gore, and also think MK's toning down of the sex appeal has been cowardly. That all being said, here's hoping KoeiTecmo will make DOA great again whenever they make DOA7. It would be great to see DOA back in the spotlight again. It is one of the better fighting game franchises in my opinion.

While Dead or Alive 6 toned down its sexual content, Soul Calibur VI toned it up and succeeded way more. Street Fighter and King of Fighters also toned up the sex appeal and achieve far more success as well, with them even being featured in EVO nowadays Dead or Alive seems to be having an identity crisis

Most Disrespected, Most Underrated 3D fighting game franchise next to Virtua Fighter. It doesn't help that the developers nowadays don't even try their best to make a completely game either that isn't rushed, let's hope to a better future for the franchise moving forward. DOA7 or Reboot, whatever better take notes from Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 at the moment and soon MK12 as well and get new developers cuz the one's right now you can tell don't care about the franchise other than just milking money out of people's pockets.

Even before DoA 6 kind of shit the bed between trying to appease a group of people who were never going to play the game to begin with and its loyal fans, DoA5 started the whole "please take us seriously" phase of the franchise. The promotional ad campaign was "I am a fighter" and it tried to be a lot more serious than just "bouncing tits and panty flashes: the fighting game" but then they rolled back on that angle because DoA5 is utterly infamous for its sheer amount of sexy DLC outfits as well as introducing three of its most fanservice-oriented characters. Then 6 came out looking like a less substantial version of 5 with things taken out of it. Also the faces of the franchise shifting away from Kasumi to Marie Rose and Honoka probably sealed the coffin too, along with the Beach Volleyball pursuit. It's funny to me, as an outsider looking in, because DoA's gacha game takes out the middle man of the fighting game getting in the way of looking at girls and dressing them up in photo mode and is still massively successful. It reached the pure essence of what it was trying to sell to its audience before without the fighting game part and the "fans" seem receptive to it, for better or for worse. And let me remind others that Marie Rose was made in response to Sweden banning the release of a DoA game and Itagaki was like "make our next character a Swedish girl who's 18 but looks 13" just to rip on Sweden, hell, they made Marie's birthday National Sweden Day, what a guy. Also I'd wager Arcana Heart is a bizarre-er fighting game franchise.

the doa 2 being shoved out thing was about the ps2 port of doa 2. every single version of doa 2, even different regions had additional/changed content. the ps2 port was pretty barebones and more unfinished than normal. if you want the actual most bizarre fighting game series, look into Power Instinct lol.

Come for the videogame franchise history, stay for the sunglasses puns.

Doa5 and 6 was the slide down because of the insane amount of micro transactions

I would love to get a new installment of DOA; it's one of my favorite fighting game franchises. Hopefully if/when they make a new game, it has rollback netcode.

DOA 2 is one of the greatest games ever! I remember clearly beating my brother multiple rounds with just only reversals and grabs. Everyone raged so much it was a great time! Though the sexuality controversy seems a bit hypocritical especially with how the new Street fighter characters look these days.

DOA4 had the best online lobbies for any fighter ever! So sad they abandoned it.. Everyone had their own lobby which you could run around with all kinds of Avatars emotes voice chat and text. You could customize your room and unlock more Avatars and cosmetics for them. There was a TV showing the matches and you could sit and watch or join.

There is no way on earth that DOA is the most bizarre

The thing I realized I LOVE about DOA over other fighting games is that the character models actually HIT each other in combat, which makes the combat much more satisfying... Most other fighting games the characters don't actually touch, there is a gap in between them and the gap is usually covered up by massive bursts of colored energy sparks and such

Simple answer? No. Its as you said, Westerners on average are perfectly fine with blood, gore and brutality and have no qualms showing it to their kids. But for some reason show em a pair of boobs and they lose their ever loving minds. (An issue i've always had with western society) Trying to be more gritty and violent not only will not appeal to westerners who if they know about the series have already made up their minds, but will upset the people who DO like DoA for its sex appeal. They are trying to play both sides and are going to end up shelving the franchise for good as far as fighting games are concerned. Koei Tecmo needs to accept that DoA IS Sex Appeal, and they need to stop trying to make it something it isn't.

I really liked the fighting system of DOA games, how smooth the controls are, the levels are just insane and the tag team mode is a heck of a lot of fun. I don't mind the fan-service, although it is kind of annoying that it seems like that's all its known for nowadays.

I think the DOA series (up to and including 4, at least) is stellar (and my favorite 3D fighting game series of all time), and sex was never a major consideration (and there's also no gory violence anyway...unlike Mortal Kombat, etc). I did love the looks of it overall, as well as the gameplay. It's so fluid and relatively simple yet versatile. The ability to predict someone else's move and reverse it was literally a game-changer, that elevated it for me past Virtua Fighter (and Tekken, which I wasn't into anyway for various reasons - two being that King and others would just keep comboing me and I couldn't do anything, and also the infinite stages). DOA2 had the most interesting multi-layer stages of any fighting game, and again, the reversals made people have to be creative and not use the same combo over and over again like in Tekken. Even though sex was not the primary factor for me, I did love the multitude of free and interesting costumes. These days, they are for sale. And I don't like their "more realistic" faces in recent games. I like the somewhat anime-ish look.

DOA5 was absolutely fantastic. Introducing some of the Virtua Fighter staff into the mix made the entire project feels as thought it finally came full circle. DOA 6 on the other hand is what I think really sank the ship.

Sexuality over extreme violence any day, rather be called a perv than a psychopath...just look at how much violence is in America and the sad thing is dead or alive could get rid of the jiggle physics and have their women being ripped apart and Americans would be totally fine with it...

It’s interesting that the Jack-o & Cammie poses from other fighting games have filled the gap Dead or Alive has left behind. 😅

It’s the best fighting franchise out of all fighting games, amazing and gorgeous characters, maps, and loved the fighting mechanics with the amount of counters and grabs. It’s unfortunate they tried going a more “serious” route in 6 and removed all of the fun stages.

DOA got me into the FGC and to this day it's the fighter I've put the most time and effort into, "dead game" or not. It truly is the most misunderstood fighting game of all time.

Big DOA fan here since I picked up the game with 5 Ultimate. It's the game that got me into fighting games. There are just as many things the series does right as it does wrong. The free to play system they introduced in 5U was revolutionary for the genre. I'd argue 5LR was still the best looking 3D rendered fighting game all the way up until Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8. Then they added the insane DLC. 6 was one step forward five steps back. They tried to make the game more mainstream, but failed badly thanks to a release state worse than SFV with the nearly $100 season pass available right from day one, with two characters (my two mains, I was not happy about that) being locked behind preorder/deluxe edition. The new engine didn't really look as good as the old one, despite the higher detail. It was also disrespected by not even being in the Evo roster for 2019 (though the series hadn't been to Evo since 4).

Tecmo really needs to stop pandering to the overly sensitive Western, specifically Twitters and game journals. Also it's always ironic the very same people that complain about fan-service in DOA are the very same people that would thirst over sexy male characters in anime and video games, always a bunch of hypocrites.

Honestly, I like this game a lot. Despite of people saying that we only play for the boobas or so, the game system is very unique and has a frenetic action. Plus the fanservice, it mades a top tier fighting game

The most bizarre fighting game was truly Clay Fighter.

The creator looks exactly what I imagined he’d look like.

For DOA7 or at least its reboot I hope they provide DLC at a more fair price. In the next game there are tons of other martial arts styles I'd like to see showcased through future characters like the other animal kung fu styles like the Tiger, Eagle, Leopard, or Monkey styles since Christie already has Snake style. I'd say add Wing Chun, Ba Gua, Sanda, Chuo Jiao, Shuai Jiao, Hung Gar, Choy Lei Fut, maybe one of the many various Long Fist styles like Fan Zi or perhaps Pak Mei because of the game Sifu. Non Chinese martial arts they could use would be Vovinam, Savate, Hapkido, Taido, Bokator, Goju Ryu or Uechi Ryu Karate, Judo or perhaps Bokh (Mongolian Wrestling). As for fanservice I really hope they wise up and realize fanservice and huge bouncy boobies is a bad thing of the past even if there was an option to adjust/turn it off like 5 did... *PSYCH BITCH YOU THOUGHT!* I want them to bring that DOA5 LR level of fanservice or maybe even double down on it in their next installment in spite of all those pretentious weak ass morally posturing ass game "journalists" and twitter loudmouths who think bullying and slandering devs to "do better" by either covering up or reducing the size of all the ladies' curves is somehow revolutionary and righteous. The next game must give the fans what they want and not cave into the demands of the ones that have always looked under their noses at this beautiful series

I love how this video completely ignores the incredibly sexualized females (and some males) on EVERY OTHER FIGHTING GAME EVER - The main difference between DoA and SF, Tekken, KoF, Soul Calibur and such is the honesty and how unapologetic it all is

Dead or alive has the hardest hitting visual and sound design of any 3d fighting game imo Other 3d fighters just look too smooth or try to sound too realistic, which other people might appreciate more than i do, but i prefer when it's so hard hitting you recoil when you look back

Dead or Alive's gameplay is so fucking great. The fanservice is fun and a good way for the game to stand out, but it all comes down to gameplay in the end, and DOA fucking nailed it. Despite all that though, I think it's better to let it go. TECMO proves it time and time again that they are not worthy of managing this franchise, and Team Ninja seems to have sold out to the ESG insanity.

The quality of the stages were on the decline after DOA 4. DOA 5 had some interesting and fun stages. Skyscraper, the one with the raft, the oil rig, the circus when you knock the other player into the clowns mouth and shoot them out the cannon was fun. And the destruction made fights feel more dynamic. The cliffhanger mechanic was interesting. DOA 6 just gave us basic stages. The most interesting stage was the one with the dinosaurs.

I'm going to be honest, I don't see Dead or Alive using sex appeal to sell its games as any different from Mortal Kombat using blood and gore to sell its. The average joe can't differentiate between the technical elements of fighting games so each one needs a way to stand out.

Koei Tecmo announced quite some time ago that DOA7 was cancelled indefinitely after the failure of DOA6. Meanwhile DOAX3 is going stronger than ever with updates.

Non-ironically, I loved DOA for its Reversal mechanics and how it turns the combat into a tactical rock-paper-scissors, rather than just button-mashing or combo juggling.

Hardest game series ever. It was so hard to play this with one hand

People were offended about the sex appeal of DOA after 4 entire games + beach ball spin offs? That sounds ridiculous lmao

It’s weird that being an excellent fighting game is seen as a minor footnote in the franchise history.

Sex always sell, people that cry about this stuff need something to put their time into

Legend says that the developers all made this game only using one hand.

Entertaining wordplay aside, I thought the video missed out on some major points: • Like Tekken, Dead or Alive has roots that can be traced directly to the godfather of 3D fighters, Virtua Fighter. • DOA not only made a name for itself with it's rock-paper-scissors combat mechanics, but also its stage mechanics that Tekken eventually adopted into their series. • DOA2 Ultimate on the original Xbox was the first fighting game to truly get online done right. Online fighting games were few and far between in 2004, and the ones that were available offered extremely janky online experiences. • DOA3 on Xbox was not only ahead of every 3D fighting games in terms of fluidity upon its release in 2001, but it was also one of the best looking video games ever released at the time. It still looks good even by today's standards. • DOA4 was immensely popular in the 2000s and the Hollywood movie did nothing to hurt its popularity. Everyone knows Hollywood adaptations are trash. I went to a game convention called G.A.M.E. in the mid 2000s and DOA had larger lines than Zelda: Twilight Princess. You can google articles about this and you'll see most articles spend more time talking about DOA than Zelda. • DOA6 was not going for a gritty style. The gritty style was already done with DOA5. DOA6 turned up the brightness and saturation while the characters looked like plastic dolls- an art style that many fans disliked. The music was far less aggressive as well. • The verdict on DOA6 was out within weeks of its release. DOA6 felt rushed and incomplete compared to DOA5LR - a game which Koei Tecmo consistently invested in. DOA6 had less stages, costumes, dropped tag team mode, and had a bare bones story mode compared to DOA5. There were no online lobbies at release, while many fans criticized Koei Tecmo's DLC practices. • The director of DOA5 and DOA6, Yohei Shinbori, was released by Koei Tecmo in 2021. This was considered a significant blow to the future of the fighting game series. • There is a major disconnect between old school and new school fans. Most of the time, you can tell if someone is an old or new fan just by asking them their opinion of Honoka and Marie Rose. • Koei Tecmo has dedicated far more resources to the spinoff series than the fighting game series over the last five years. They dropped support for DOA6 after a year or so, yet Venus Vacation apparently continues to be supported with new content seven years after its release. The future of the series is likely in the live service spinoff games and most fans are 50/50 about DOA7 ever being released.

Weren't they the first to have stage transitions as well?

Outside this franchise, there's not a lot of good options for beach volleyball games. Same goes for sea doo racing. That's mainly what got me into the Xtreme series. There's a lot of untapped potential there if they fleshed out those games more. Going the free to play model didn't help the main series either. The amount of DLC that DOA6 had was beyond ridiculous and there's still no complete version available for it.

We can't have DOA Xtreme 4 nowadays because the big corporations, lesbians, feminists, and soy boys will throw a fit.

At first I thought the sunglasses joke wasn't funny, but the 157th one really won me over

Aside from the DLC, it’s soooo good. Combo strings that other games don’t have AT ALL and the effects and how you can FEEL the impact of the hits, it’s so good 💅🏼

DOA for me is the greatest fighting game series! As a gay man, boobs never was the main point for me, but it was the only fighting game who actually promoted their female fighters and they were the main characters of the game and not just side characters. All fighting games sexualise women, but DOA gets so much hate, where we just gloss over the overtly sexual characters in other fighting game franchises! DOA has the best stages, graphics and the fighting system with the counters is magnificent ! You have to think to play doa because you can’t spam the same move over and over again, because you will get punished, so you are forced to educate yourself and evolve how you actually approach the game and change your style and moves !

doa2 and 3 were absolutely amazing. heard 4 was top tier, too, but i never played it. dimensions on the DS was a surprisingly great rendition. to be honest, it's weird seeing people look on DOA like it's the most pervy game there is, because tbh a lot of the popular anime fighters -- and even some of the 3D ones -- are also pretty damn pervy with the female characters. yeah, at the time it was shocking that the boobs were rendered with so much detail and care, and that there was a volleyball spinoff game... but the fighting entries themselves are just so good, and they're surprisingly grounded compared to most other fighting games.

if we can enjoy violence and its more extreme depictions like in mk, i see nothing wrong with sexiness and its more extreme depictions in doa being enjoyed in equal measure. my personal issue is hiding the sex to appeal to evo during mk6, chucking the preferences of older fans, and subsequently locking it behind really high paywalls thinking it'll bring them back. i'm on pc so i can just mod things to my preference, but console players don't have that option.

Itagaki is for sure, a man of culture.

Used to get competitive for this year's ago. Shame what happened to 6. Most of us went back to 5. Made me get into VF too, played both for 10-7 years For DoA and VF respectively.

“I only play for the fighting” Sure you do buddy! There’s no shame in playing for the physics 😂

You know, the fact taht DOA still gets backlash for its fanservice while MK is now basically gore pornography but no one cares about that or the fact that NRS employees developed PTSD because of crunch time while having to look at *REAL LIFE GORE* to make the violence more "realistic" but also make the female characters less sexy because "it's not realistic" is sitll fucking *DISGUSTING.*

I will always have a special spot for DOA, it's one of the few fighting games I'm competitive in. We need DOA4 rollback. :'(

as someone who played DOA5 (U and LR) at the highest level for years, it is so tragic that they pushed the sexuality so much. The game had potential to become even bigger. Anyways, I miss those days man :(

worst thing about DOA is the DLC... all the DLC together cost a fluccin PlayStation 5. INSANE

If jiggling honker bother you that much, you can always go to options and turn it off or just not buy the game.

The DoA Xtreme series is definitely a double edge sword. On one hand it's a harmless and mindless fun time with funny minigames and genuinely a technical graphical marvel. On the other hand, it completely ruin the entire franchise's reputation and arguably development. DoA6 was rushed to hell and back and never got the proper development it needed. DoA6 could've been great with stuff like rollback, crossplay, an actual decent progression system, and more characters. But Koei Tecmo completely gave up. I feel really bad for Team Ninja. I know there are other factors as to why DoA failed as a whole, but it genuinely went downhill after DoA5:LR. I'm still hoping (and coping) that there'll be a DoA7 once they tone down production on DoA Xtreme Venus Vacation and DoA Xtreme 3 in Asia, but still... One can hope...

We just need bloody roar to make a return.

I’ve played MK, SF , Tekken (literally my childhood ) and others. Nothing beats the grabs, offensive holds, tag fighting and overall how dynamic DOA is, specially characters like Ayane and Hayabusa with mind boggling agility. Say what you want about DOA , but it really is the most enjoyable fighting game I have ever played.

I love how he's renaming the guy constantly 😎

its sad to see that after itagaki went away the direction of the franchise took this much of a turn doa 3 and 4 were two of the best fighting games i've played

My favorite 3D fighting game series hands down. Fast, fluid, fun, great mechanics, quite underrated and horribly demonized. Like what, y'all don't like titties? Shit.

We have mk where you can literally tear your opponent apart, make them suffer and bleed too much. But "DOA" is the bizarre one... LOOOOOL

The main reason that DOA failed is not DLC or boobs thing. the new game just bad. that's why. bad fighting mechanics, low budget graphics, worst contents, etc I played DOA6 over 1500 hours and I never happy when I playing that game. why 1500 hours? I trusted team ninja so I was "they said they know the problems. probably they will fix them.". nope, they just throw the game into trash can.

I first learned about it from the 3DS game DOA Dimensions. And I learned about that from the old 3DS Showcase episodes that aired on the Eshop in the early days of the console.

I hate gamers who don't have the balls to say they love this game. The women you think are going to judge you, were never going to date you in the first place. And Feminists who don't play games aren't your followers.

The problem with the game was how it was sold and how the DLC was handled. Those are the biggest things that are stopping the game from actual success, in my opinion. That and they need to stop adding stick figure Teenage anime reject girls that are somehow power house fighters.

I went to the horse races once. There was a horse named “Righteous Tatas.” When that race started the announcer said “and Righteous Tatas comes bouncing out of the gate.” Remind me of this series.

Somehow I don't think "bizarre" was a good choice of words here, nothing too strange about the series at all. Probably "shameless" instead. And I hope it gets back to its shameless roots if it ever comes back... enough with appeasing the gringo "kill OK titties bad" hypocritical mentality.

Itagaki will always be the Godfather of DOA. Hayashi sunk the franchise into the ground, and The West doesn't deserve a cultured game such as this. Western video game media is also as much to blame for the death of this series. Ultra-violence of all sorts is all well and good, but a bouncing breast is completely off-limits and not allowed in the West. North America truly does suck.

dead or alive 3 will always be one of my favourite fighting games.

Bros got beef with sunglasses

I honestly loved DOA 2 I believe it pretty much was the best fighting game ever. It was super fun. I obviously was aware of the sexual side of it but didn't really realize that was a huge selling point until later. The game as a fighter stands on it's own.

I loved DOA 2 and 3 (it went down hill from here), it was my favourite fighting game.

You've made an excellent video: informative but not encyclopedic, with only pertinent data to drive home the point; charming delivery (no axe to grind, and not too dry or wry or smug); and fun thematic writing (a fresh Itagaki reference *every* *single* *time* he's brought up!).

I don’t get how everyone was horrified about jiggle physics in DOA while also no one says anything negative about jiggle physics in the new street fighter. In terms of portraying females in a sexualized caricaturistic light is the same.

Huge correction: Snowflakes and non gamers didn't like the sexualization and were angry about it. Actual fans of the series wanted more or fine with how much it had.

You deserve it, for the rapid string of shade themed... shades.

As my favorite fighting game franchise, I want to say thank you for bringing the spotlight to it. Great video!

doa isnt weird its one of the better franchises. All the random hate is completely cringe and undeserved. The game has really good gameplay and the men are badass while the girls are waifu, as it should be.

I love the DOA series. Took the Virtua Fighter formula and built up on it in fun and creative ways. Not to mention the amount of innovations it brought to 3D fighting games. However for all its plus sides DOA is also its own worst enemy at times i.e the Extreme games.

Dude literally said: "You don't understand, the breast physic engine was critical to the fighting game industry"

DOA Fans are not happy with 6 because of: 1) Stages 2) Critical Stuns 3) Tag Mode 4) Team Battle 5) Awful System For Unlockables 6) Auto Combos 7) Meters 8) Fade to black in Survival instead of the opponent jumping in 9) No inputs after that last hit 10) Too much DLCs and a JOKE for customizable outfits 11) STAGE SUPER INTERACTIONS! THERE! It's NOT THE BOOBS! You can take the TITS OFF And I will still Buy DOA if they fixed those things. I really try to get into DOA6 but I just can't... I went back and bought DOA5LR even if there is a character Missing... I really think to pirate the game or get an XBOX to get DOA4 or DOA2Ult.

I love Dead or Alive. The gameplay of course.
