Cabbage is not worth fighting over unless there's a famine.
An Izuna Drop might be an effective volleyball spike, right?

I actually thought there was some VV girls I would really like, they seem great at first glance, but after playing the game they almost all seem to have at least one big flaw for me, except maybe Reika, so far...
VV girls, best to least best (kinda):
Reika
Monica (duck face, lol)
Nanami (a bit plain)
Elise (kinda boring)
Sayuri (a pokemon named Oneechan, looks & acts motherly but calls herself big sister & is only 24)
Shandy (always looks high)
Tamaki (drinker)
VV girls bottom tier:
Fiona (looks fine, but she's so boring)
Tsukushi (honestly, I thought I might like her but she just turned out to be another annoying kid)
Yukino (typical trendy teenage type)
Nagisa (Tsundere: The Movie)
Amy (Tsundere 2: The Sequel)
Luna (sweet potato eating human robot... I do like sweet potatoes tho)
Lobelia (an A-cup Fiona... but it's refreshing to see a less childish flatter chested girl for once)
Patty (Patty! Patty! Patty!)
Shizuku (more social anxiety, kawaiiii... there's like 5 girls with the same issue)
Misaki (left half of Koharu's hair)
Koharu (Japanese Marie Rose, also right half of Misaki's hair)
Kanna (Marie Rose with horns, AKA Horny Marie Rose... we're all going jigoku aren't we? I mean 10
14? They're hardly trying to hide it.)
Honoka (dumbass that doesn't deserve the biggest rack)
Marie Rose (childish, verging on infantile)
(yeah I know the last two debuted in DOA5UA/LR)
I got into DOA for fighting game characters who can kick ass and have more interesting designs and backstories than typical moe/kawaii dating-sim or harem anime trope characters, sorry. VV was made for some other kind of fan, not me as a DOA fan. I can't believe I actually miss when my favourite characters would savagely just trash a present I want them to love, none of this "please be pleased with me, ohna-san!" crap. I have to believe that there's little overlap between the DOA fanbase and the VV fanbase.
