I pickeed up DOA as on online fighter while I waited for SC IV. While being fun to play, it had little to no depth. Poke, watch reaction, respond with correct punishment for reacting. The fact that an online ranked game (all of them) can have custom match length, number of matches, and life bar is ridiculous on many levels. There was no "style" to playing each character, just "this is how to use this character". Patches did next to nothing but change timing, I bet you can still take Hyabusa and Izuna Drop off the bridge for what was it 3/4 health? Same with Tina's dad (been a while) and his flying power bomb. Glitches that put you outside the playable area, hitbox retarded-ness, never-ending ninja tag combos, and the fact that whether you like it or not mashing>skill made me throw this game in the garbage after trying to play it after having SC for a week. Haha Ryujin weren't you online calling me a scrub and kicking me for not knowing Yoshi last night?
I do miss Brad Wong though :(
