Are any of you fans of Tekken, Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Soul Calibur, and Mortal Kombat?
From time to time did you lose interest in those fighting games and would like DOA as your favorite fighting game?
For Tekken I do enjoy playing Tekken since TTT1, and play Tekken 8 whenever their is a Fight Pass event going on until I max level 60 which I stop until cycle repeats.
For Street Fighter I've enjoyed since MVC2, CVS2, Capcom Fighting Evolution/Jam, & Street Fighter Anniversary Edition, however My interest is declining because of what Capcom did to risque camera shots (that was seen in SFV Beta Builds) & Covering Female (or Body 2) Skins (example Juri's original SFV design that showed more skin before it was fully covered in SFV & only shows Breast area from SFV Cammy's Story, one of the Comics where SF crossover with Vampire/Darkstalkers, and SF6, and finally covers Body 2 whenever they wear Sumo Belt via shorts which Body 1/Male don't), and lastly their localization/censorship practices is just turning Me away.
For King of Fighters I've enjoyed when I got KOF Orochi Saga Collection, even thought I don't play much of KOFXV but I did spend money to get Sylvie Paula Paula.
For Soulcalibur I've enjoyed when I played SCII, and even pre ordered SCVI just to get Talim figure when I first saw her outfit, and Talim's bikini was also perfect in recreating Legacy Outfits like Seong Mina. The only that sucked is when Mystery Outfit covered lower body from its Soulcalibur Lost Swords:
Lastly for Mortal Kombat, I enjoyed MK franchise when I first played MKvsDC, but lost all interest after how MK11 & MK1 (2023) where they've been covering up all their female characters with no bikini/revealing outfits that you would see in females from 3D Era of Mortal Kombat ending it with MK (2011).
The only time I lose interest, I'm already into DOA even back in the days when those other games were far better than what new installment were getting like now (like SF & MK).
What is it in DOA that appeals you more that Tekken, Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Soul Calibur, and Mortal Kombat doesn’t have?
Keywords: Attractive Female Characters, Bikinis & Revealing Outfits, Various Panties/Details (that was introduced in DOA Ultimate), Certain Girls being 17 & Younger (Mainly Kasumi, Ayane, & Kokoro which is a thing since DOA1 while Worldwide releases were giving N/A as a description for their age which last game to do that is DOA: Dimensions), Spin-Off which are related to Vacation (Volleyball, Pool Hopping, Butt Bounce, Tug-of-War, & Gambling to name a few) which is DOA Xtreme brand, Stage Environments, Gravure Cutscenes, Added Fanservice Features from DOAX3 & DOAXVV (where you had the ability to peak when girl is changing when your suppose to keep your eyes closed, Swimsuit Malfunctions, Ability to touch girl's breast or butt, and pulling girls outfits like Maid Bikini or Sexy Pajama), and Making Girls that Japanese Players liked (how Marie Rose & NiCO were created).
These Keywords are what makes Me more appeal to DOA so much to the point of spending money worth $92.99 USD on Season Passes & $840 Singapore Dollars to Paid V-Stones for Star/Birthday Gacha Outfits.
If DOA continues to appeal you more nowadays and TN does whatever it takes to step up and improve the aspects that appeal you, is it possible that DOA will see to the light of the day that it will be more appealing forever as other fighting games will lose their torch?
The DOA franchise would be in a much better position if TN did 100% everything to appeal to Me & Improve the aspects that I enjoy. When DOA devs actually care about what I want as someone who contribute to DLC/Microtransaction eco system, and even spend big money Collectors Edition like $404.89 (for DOAX3 Saikyo Edition of Play-Asia) the series will be more appealing forever. The only times other fighting games will lose their torch is if they decided to not chase players like Me who is throwing money into DLC/Microtransaction.
