TN can't give up on Zack like this...

They already have.

Seriously, the whole new direction (presentation, not mechanics) DOA5 took has done nothing but piss me off and depress me. Pisspress? Depiss? Depriss?

Yeah.

DOA5 has the best mechanics in the serie, but the presentation/content isn't the best. That's why DOA2 is still my favourite (right before DOA5U). It's not the nostalgic factor I swear, it's the way the content was presented.

DOA2 was amazing. The music, the graphics (especially the big jump in graphics from DOA1), and the characters themselves in that entry of the series were great. Leifang was less ditzy, Ein was cool as hell, Ayane a cold and sassy bitch, and Zack just oozed a cool personality while still providing some comic relief. And yes, I even enjoyed the (bad) English voice acting. I never understood why TN didn't just improve on English VAs with DOA3 and DOA4. The English voice acting in DOA5U is a huge improvement, so it was just finding the right talent to voice the characters. I wish some of the VAs from DOA2H came back to voice some of the characters, because some of them sounded better in DOA2H.

I agreed with you except for this. There are so many scenes that I find much more memorable in 2 compared to 5U. Kasumi Alpha's psychotic laugh in the demon church, Ein seeing that image of dancing Tengu, Helena confronting Ayane in the Grand Opera, and the list goes on.

Haha, I'll never forget the dialogue in English.

:ayane:: "Wow, you came all the way here?"
:helena:: "....You...."
:ayane:: *smug tone* "Well, who knows?"
:helena:: "You. You killed my mother!"
*after fighting*
:ayane:: "Hey, you didn't have time to sing."

Hilarious, but still cool at the same time. Lol

Ooh, ooh, me next!

DOA5 and DOA5U have the best mechanics in the series, but the little things that made me fall in love with the game to begin with aren't present. That's why DOA3 is still tied with it as my favorite. I'm wearing nostalgia glasses and don't apologize for it for two reasons... the first being this:

Wow. TN can't do anything short of giving in to you completely without you eliciting cries of "RAAAAAAEEEG!!!!" Just consider, out of several fighting games, heck games in general, how many offer DLC characters for free? One?
So did Raidou, Kasumi Alpha, Genra, & Alpha-152

Hold up now. Raidou had connection with Kasumi and Ayane. Kasumi Alpha had a big part in the DOA2 storyline. Genra's connection was to Ayane. Alpha-152 has connection with all the ninja. Tengu was just...there. Sure, Hayabusa defeated him, but he served no purpose to the storyline at all, other than being a nuisance.

Tengu being just ~there~ is like Necron popping up at the end of Final Fantasy IX and claiming to be the final boss. Plot relevant, but no one really knows where the fuck they came from. It seems like Team Ninja tried to give Tengu a plot since: "Gohyakumine Bankotsubo is a tengu who is a criminal in his own dimension, as he murdered Kuramasan Maouson - the leader of their race. Fearing punishment for his crimes and breaking tengu rules, he escaped into the human world. Considering the hopes and struggles of humanity to be insignificant, he decided to bring about ultimate disaster and calamity, covering the world in chaos."

Well, we saw how that turned out and now he remains just a distant memory. And should stay that way.
