You know what, an articulated reply would be a much better instrument to support your point and create a healthy discussion among members, rather than making sarcastic posts with doubtful utility.

Again, on my phone. I will correct you when I'm free and next to a proper keyboard. For the record, there was nothing sarcastic about that post.

Could have avoided posting then and waited until you were ready to contribute in a more interesting way to the thread 
Also, I would like you to say "I will post my opinion" or "I will support my point with objective data" which sounds more polite and positive compared to a "I will correct you", implying that you are undeniably right and everybody else is undeniably wrong, which is never a particularly efficient way to let a thread grow on into a more articulated discussion.
Just sayin

The original versions of DOA2 had 3 point holds. 4 Point holds didn't turn up until DOA2 Ultimate.

Even the Dreamcast version? I don't recall seeing that, although it was like 12 years ago.

Yep. Every version.
I played in arcade, got it at home and was like, "wtf, counters are stupid easy." It's an option you change in the button config.
Changed to arcade counters and was like, "All righhht."

Think we're kinda talking about something else then.
With "4 point hold" I assumed we were talking about the split that happened with DoAU where mid kick got changed from 4+H into 6+H?
DoA2 console had only 3 movements for holds, each of them countered both punches and kicks. You could turn on the "advanced hold system" from the menu but if I recall that did nothing but change the input from "4+H" into "4,6+H" (for mid) or something like that.
They had a more complicated system but it was still 3 directions only.
Also, I think they cut that out from the PS2 Hardcore Version, but I might be wrong on this.

You're wrong. Every version of DoA2 has had 4 point holds. Check the posts above.
Do you think they just willy nilly made DoA2U 4 point hold after DoA3 had 3 points? No, it's 4 points because DoA2 arcade and console had 4 point holds.

Yes just checked, PS2 version of DoA2 Hardcore didn't have the Advanced Holds system which was for sure present in the US DC version, unsure about the EU and JP one, and unsure about the PS2 JP one as well.
Either way it wasn't the default setting, very few people used it. Showing how many people here didn't even remember, if anything, shows how much that setting has been used, known and efficient.
Making it the only and default one for the rest of the series is a change introduced in DoA2U, where they created a simplified (single direction) 4way hold system.
You shouldn't be surprised to hear that you're a refreshing minority.
DOA2 was always 4 point ..
All versions had the opion for the switch.
I used to play the game at the arcades and i remember being extremely pissed when i saw the dumbed down home version, till after screwing around in the options i found the switch option..
If i recall the options were "console" and "arcade"..
This is why to this day i still call advanced holds "arcade" holds.

Edit: I'm back...
Also managed to glitch the game since I had it in. Is this a known bug? The geometry in that one particular area must be weird.
