I believe break blows started to become mainstream with the release of MK9. That and the dumbass X-ray "power blow" they had going on. Other fighters like Street Fighter and Tekken began to go in that direction because the devs were under the misconception that they need to modernize the game.
What the DOA devs didn't understand is they were infringing on DOAs structural foundation. Break blows and power blows don't belong in DOA.
Does it make logical sense to have breakblows when you have a 4 point hold system that can be used at any time? It makes 0 sense in DOA. MK and SF and Tekken don't have a counter system, so there it works (but it should honestly be axed in all of these games).
Meter is another one. Specials work in flashy 2D games like Street Fighter. DOA is a 3D fighter. Specials just don't make sense in any 3D fighter. In DOA5 the powerblows were long and drawn out with many hits. In DOA6 they just made a corny haymaker. We can see the devs struggling to make something work. And it just doesn't work.
When these modern devs start messing around with the foundation that made them in the first place, the games start to suck. I see it time and time again. Gaming is at an all time low because of low IQ devving.
