It's unfortunate but outside of the competitive community, DOA3 was pretty unsung. Most people revered DOA2(U) or DOA4. I have to admit that I'm big on 2U and 4 myself but from a technical standpoint, I can see why 3 is preferred. Sadly, despite all the versions of NG TN keeps putting out, I doubt DOA3 will be remastered.
The casual DOA fan, yes, reveres DOA2/4. The casual gamer opinion that I've seen, on NeoGAF at least, is that DOA3 comes up time and time again as a favorite.
I keep coming back to DOA3, despite having no one to play with. It feels so smooth and fluid, especially after playing 5U and 4 (I picked up a copy of 4 since it was the only game in the series I was missing and it was only 10 bucks, I played it again last night, and ugh...). I would die if Tecmo released an online version.

I just laughed when I read it, since isn't everything he listed what makes DOA3 so good?

I don't believe Move Priority was in any DOA. It's always been speed based - hit box vs hurt box.
The 2 frame grab is also slightly true. Hayate could get +2 on guard and do a 5 frame throw which would make it 3 frame throw you have to fuzzy to get out of.
And the fastest 'catch throw'/ OH is 16 frames.

If they released doa3/3.1 with some adjustments, maybe. As is? No.

I got this game a week ago. Decided not to buy Honoka and instead use the 4 bucks to buy DOA3 instead. I feel I made the right decision.
Game really does feel more responsive and quicker than 5U/LR. I just wish this was the game we had instead of what we got, since many of the problems I have with the current game doesn't exist here. I hear shit talk about the 3-point system, but it isn't really an issue, because it's actually riskier to hold in this version. I like that.
Really would like a proper release of 3.1. It looks as if they made any minor issue I have with vanilla better. Oh well. vanilla still good in it's own right.

We should really start a petition for DOA3U. I know is unlikely to happen, but one can dream.

Team Ninja is almost stupid imo for not!! Re-relasing the best DOA game ever. But DOA2 and DOA1.. Yeah...

Indeed. Is strange considering that they make an ultimate version for almost every DOA game.

Yep, that´s a thing I do not understand since years. Even DOA5 got 2 Re-releases...
And DOA3 is the ONLY DOA game which was never playable Online... It´s like Tecmo/Tean Ninja tries everything to make that game "vanish".

Why not? Because of Hayates Cartwheel!? Well, there is always DOA3.2...

Wait, so Hayate doesn't have the cartwheel in 3.2? Now I'm confused.
The FSD system was tweaked in 3.2 to make it so the Cartwheel wasn't abusable like 3.1. This was a system wide adjustment and caused it so moves retrack closer to DOA3.0 style.
As for online, I don't think the online play would work well with this game as it's more frame intensive. It wouldn't play right online I believe, and players wouldn't learn to play it correctly.

Ok I understand that DOA3 would be difficult to run properly online.. Just look at DOA5, still not a good netcode.
But SCV runs since years almost smooth online and so it should be possbile to make DOA3 almost run like offline I guess... ?
Doa3 online would be a rage inducing frustrating mess and I will have no part in it. And it doesn't seem like a viable project unless it has dlcs every month.

But wouldn´t it be rather worse if the game would never! be seen again? I mean it is THE BEST DOA GAME EVER! Or not? I know this is not everyones oppinion, but people can just not deny how... Incredible this game was and still is! And there are those who never got to experience this gem or only played the inferior US-version.
