I enjoy reading the comments that dont completely bash the other game. its mature. I prefer DOA because its more fluid and flashy. im gay....so the boobs dont matter lol. VF is fun, but its a little less entertaining than DOA. though the graphics are better, but im sure thats because it came out 2 years later... aha, i think theyre both great games, theres no reason to yell "VF IS BORING THERE TO STIFF" or "DOA IS JUST KUNG FU PORN" trololol its just a game.
It's not technically what game inspired or got there ideas from what game.Personally i think its about Stages,Fighting Style,The characters need to look like actual people,And when the Fighters take a hit or fall they just can't look weird while doing that.My opinion is I like DOA more because they're actually fluid as in more realistic and lively.I don't like gameplays on VF because they seem stiff to me but they have very nice scenery stages.But i like that DOA has a story behind all of it.
Even the commentator in the beginning makes it clear. In the "softcore cheesecake" you can spam the counter maneuver and get away with the fight; in the "hardcore fighting", good luck doing something similar. VF5 wins, the tournaments being held until today and the new revisions of the game, with even one coming out next year for consoles, are a testimony of this.
And no, VF is not a simulator, it's just the deepest fighting game out there.
Being realistic doesn't really mean fun. However , Virtua Fighter does them both. But thats a stupid argument put forward by VF fans here. Its only a game in the end and over realistic gameplay is only a choice and not a quality. People have fun with Tekken, MK , Soul Calibur , Street Fighter as well even if they don't have too much realism.
Whats next, VF with Kinect/Move? If you want all that realism so bad, just go out there and train to be a real fighter! Lemme show you my kung fu!! :D
Lol inferior assholea doa and vf is for kids A TALE OF SOULS AND SWORDS ETERNALLY RETOLD WILL ALLWAYS ETERNALLY KICK THE SHIT OUTTA EVERY OTHER FIGHTING GAME SOUL CALIBUR FTW!!!!
@SphinxeXII you shouldn't play fighting games to jerk off. if your only argument for it being better is that you enjoy watching the fantasized women in the game, then you should just save yourself the $60 and go online for porn.
VF4: Evolution kicks both of their asses as far as I'm concerned. VF5 has little that VF4Evo doesn't already have, and the few things it has are usually ruined by one terrible thing (El Blaze's voice acting, recycled hit sounds over photorealistic graphics). DOA4 is porn.
@Reickoification DOA is similar to Tekken in that lack of defense (IE a steady dose of just attacking) won't hurt you that much. in VF, defense is just as important, if not more important, than your attacks. so to say that VF requires more skill than DOA isn't very far off.
Doa4 wins it easily for me. To me DOA seems more fluent and the moves are more upredictable. Its easier to pick up and play for me, as for Virtua Fighter you have to learn every single move for each character to even be remotely good. Plus the counter system in DOA4 is way better in my opinion
Virtua Fighter 5 wipes the floor with Dead or Alive 4. Better graphics, deeper gameplay, and the awe-inspiring Quest Mode beat the daylights out of anything Dead or Alive 4 has to offer. This is coming from someone that plays fighting games on a regular basis and I have both games. Virtua Fighter 5 is even more enjoyable than Tekken 6.
dead or alive has way better combos... and the places where you fall down and all its awesome virtua fighter has verry good graphics... but the gameplay is really poor... so i think dead or alive is better and they should release 5 like dead or alive 2 ultimate that was a awesome dead or alive game
@turkmuslim4ever wait, how is gameplay in VF5 poor just because the combos aren't as flashy? VF5 requires a LOT of defense, so if anything the gameplay is more realistic and satisfying, but that's just my opinion.
@domaug im not complaining i think virtua fighter is fun but comparing it to dead or alive... i think dead or alive is better my opinion my favourite is killer instinct then dead or alive and then mortal kombat
@domaug i was playing with my family i was unbeatable as a little kid lol i had so much fun i remember winning 30-0 from a causin of myn ki1 was so good the arcade is even better but rare is really messed up man...
DOA4 is definitely my favorite game on the Xbox 360. I love the moves, it's constant movement, and it definitely makes me think. I'm an A+ in the online mode and still to this day, I still get beat by people around the world. Honestly, I just don't like VF5/ I've played it many times, but honestly it seems so corny to me. Sure the stages and characters look good, but they've been looking like that since it came out, and when they hit, it sounds like little kids slapping each other! DOA4 IS BEAST
see im going with dead or alive 4 becuase its open rings and haveactual realistic stuff in tory mode . virua fighter would be better if they had better graphics and realistic story mode like doa and dnt have to fight in a boring ring all the time
If you're able to read your opponents counters then you can bash out some nice combos (which you see quite a bit in tournament games), but really the only way to combo is when your opponent is in the air, and vulnerable. There are moves than stun, or counters that render your opponent vulnerable for assault, but you're right, it's highly likely you'll be interrupted. I have seen many try and abuse the system and just end up opening themselves up to a lot of punishment. Can't rely on it so much.
Here's my take on DOA vs VF. Akira Yuki vs Hayate, Kagemaru vs Ryu Hayabusa, Jacky Bryant vs Jann Lee, Lei Fei vs Brad Wong, Brad Burns vs Zack, Lau Chan vs Gen Fu, Lion Rafale vs Eliot, Sarah Bryant vs Tina Armstrong, Aoi Umenokouji vs Kasumi, Vanessa Lewis vs Ayane, Pai Chan vs Lei Fang, El Blaze vs Bass
@SphinxeXII Just passing by to point out that some people are actually able to look past sex. Yes, it's possible. Especially with a game where women are little more than personified fetishes.
I actually have and enjoy playing both games. The button controls and gameplay styles are relatively similar. I have to give VF5 the win however. It's just a more strategic fighter and the moves are just more realistic. However, there are things that Doa4 does more than VF5. The game offers more combos, and also the environments are more creative and used more. I'm a DOA fan myself. But I have to give the edge to VF5 just by a tad bit. I've been a VF fan for a while too.
@SyedFahmi93 I love all 3 but i have likes and dislikes. What i like about tekken is the character roster what i don't like is that button mashing gets you every where. Doa4 the stages and the fantasy i like but the graphics are not as good as VF5 for example all the hair in DOA4 looks like paper. I like VF5 cause of the graphics , unique character appearance and fighting style and the fact that every character when playing feels different. But dislike the "ring out" unlike tekken and DOA4.
I have both... DOA4 is fast paced and easy to pick up, but it isn't a button masher like most people think. VF is a lot more strategic and technical. If you want a fun fighting game, DOA. If your looking for something more serious, VF.......anyways, DOA > VF.
doa4 is the best fighting game its better then tekken 6 better move better fighting skills and better game 10/10 dead or alive 4 cont wait for dead or alive 5 pls hurry up with the game dont care if its going to be 60pound and going to buy it straight away lol
it not really fair i guess, because DOA4 came out 2 years earlier than VF5!,
still i reckon DOA4 is way better!, but still like VF5 though, so im not hatin on it or anything!...=] what i like about VF5 is the customization mode, its great!
vf5 has the best fighting characters . akira,lau chan, pai chan, and the lucha libre wolf hawkfield and "REY MISTERIO" (cause is rey misterio with another name)
my favorite character is lau chan im conqueror in quest mode
plus vf5 is the only game with lucha libre fighters and the only one with a mexican character
VF5! I love how technical it is and the fact you can't just button mash your way to glory. It requires more skills, intelligence and strategy than most fighting games.
DOA4 wins for me. I respect what VF is about, but I'd rather play DOA. I see VF as the Gran Turismo of Fighting games. It's a strict fighter that's trying to be as close to realistic as possible; however that's not what I want. DOA provides me with a nice balance between realism and being outlandish. Most battles (when watched back) provide amazing choreography. The fighting styles are varied and nicely presented, the way moves change depending on where you are in a stage...
...The variations in moves and counters depending on your opponents approach (low, med, high, air), the way you can use your counter to avoid obsticles such as the cars (vault over them in that stage) and so on. I was playing Tina the other day and she pulled off all these different throws via countering and grappling and I was so impressed by how varied and adaptable her moves were. Brad Wong rode me down the stairs! Never seen that one.
DOA4 is both deep and fun and my favorite 3D Fighter.
@heavensxnight The core gameplay flows a lot better in DOA, imo. VF feels a lot more... stiff. Regarding moves changing depending on the stage, VF doesn't do it to the extent as DOA. This is mostly due to the stages themselves not being as good as DOA's. The way grapples and counters adapt to these multi-tiered environment makes fights dynamic and you also have stage interactivity with context sensitive moves you can pull of if close enough. DOA is, basically, a silkier and more dynamic VF.
@NASTAR01 Seeing as I recently got back into VF with VF5 Online in October, and have been playing it quite often offline or with some really good players online, I noticed that a round can end in 4 or 5 seconds - so stiff isn't even at the bottom of the list for what I'd call this game. Maybe your attitude towards VF is colored by the simple fact that it's easier to get away with mashing and punishing said mashing in DOA. But I wouldn't dare compare the two games as similar to each other.
@heavensxnight 'Stiff' was the wrong term to use, tbh; what I mean is it's very 'technical'. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, either. As I've mentioned before it's the Gran Turismo of the Fighting genre, because it aims to capture that realism of the sport more than it's rivals. DOA has enough realism, aided by enough OTTness, imo. Button mashing can be a problem in DOA, but Counters go along way to thwarting that. It's about playing mind-games. I appreciate VF, but it isn't for me.
@NASTAR01 "Maybe your attitude towards VF is colored by the simple fact that it's easier to get away with mashing and punishing said mashing in DOA." - I was referring to the counter system. It's quite remarkable that DOA is the only fighting game in existence where almost every "combo" performed on a grounded opponent isn't actually a combo - as it is easily interrupted by a counter maneuver. It eventually gets to a point where you're playing rock paper scissors instead of fight.
@heavensxnight That does, on occassions, bother me, if I'm to be honest; but the majority of the time I don't mind what Countering brings to the experience. It creates more urgency for a player, and his/her opponent, which forces you not to button mash, or go on an all out offence. You have to alternate between high and low attacks, which could just consist of 1-4 hits; and mind-game your foe. I love that it's very risky to attempt big combos because, in reality, fights are more like that.
@NASTAR01 A combo is a series of attacks one instantly after the other that prevent the opponent from retaliating until the combo ends; because of the counter system in DOA, the only true combos the game has are ones performed while the opponent is airborne. The high/low mixup game is pretty important in fighting games in general, and definitely in VF, not just DOA. Mashing in VF is also ill-advised with the defensive/offensive sidestepping system, tsubakis, and reversals (which Aoi excels at).
i have both games now. i had doa 4 first and just got virtua fighter 5. well they are both totally different through and through. it depends on your playstyle. i love doa 4 with the graphics, stages and characters and costumes, the best part about doa 4 is the countering system. its easy yet have to time it good and if you can play good then no button masher can compare. VF5 on the other had is equally good in all aspects but its the deepness in stratigic play that gives it its edge. I LUV both
just to add to VF5, i have to say it has a better representation for the martial arts styles. thats a plus in my book!its a very very time consuming deep technical fighter. i found more of myself playin vf5 now then doa4. VF5 could use open stages too but then it would be more like doa4. I love both and play both but for different moods i am in. if i just wanna roll through and get busy kick butt then its DOA but if i wanna get into being techy then vf5. both rock!!!!!
well i vote for doa 4 cuz the stages the fighting system.. for all is better than VF.. whr there's only the stage.. in doa 4 u can use all the enviroment that is around u!
Virtua fighter and DOA are the best fighting games out there... just wanna say for those who claims that VF sucks, you shouldn't trash on a game that you can't play and i played both of these games from they're first up to the latest sequels, DOA made us bought the Xbox 360, and virtua fighter almost made us bought a PS3 it'sa good thing they released it on xbox 360 we got to enjoy both of the best fighting games if theresa a fighting game that suck that'll be tekken, it's generic and a copycat
The Only reason why i like DOA is their multi-tier Stages...And the techniques of each Character has the same rhythm that's why I don't think DOA is better than these four.
vf no question has the deepest fighting system around and it does so with only 3 buttons! there may be a bit of a learning curve but vf has pure and fast fighting something no other fighting games like tekken doa street fighter or mortal kombat have.
I pick DOA!it has a fast paced fighting and spamming isn't a big problem because skilled players could beat you The stages are more varied and No ring outs which is a really annoying thing to me.
The girl's costume can change from normal to sexy to traditional you name it.Although VF have a slightly better winning sequece/scene, the cinematics aren't that exciting as DOA to me
They both have their strong points. I like the counter system and the interactivity of stages in DOA4, but I like th overall fighting system and variety between the characters in VF5. Between the two, I like VF5 more, but I still enjoy DOA4.
first of tekken owns all second ryu hayabusa is a beast and 3rd virtual fighter is better i pplayed and have both games doa is way 2 eazy yet annoying if ur losing combos are way 2 easy ryu hayabusa form ninja gaiden da only reason i liked the game besides that its just fake porn virtual fighter is hot i love it yo not as good as tekken due to speed engine but its up there like u can really sit down and play virtaul fighter customize dojo rank up doa wack just do time attack match after match
but VF5 i say is better because with DOA you can just pull a combo out your ass in a sec but with VF you have to be on key with moves plus you can combine combos together and not only that you can't just put in VF and think its all good no you have to train on a day to day bases plus all the fighters are even the more power the slower you'll get but the faster the less power so choose wisely.
I have them both, and dislike them both for various reasons. DoA reversals save you too much. One shouldn't be able to reverse out of a combo or stagger, or escape a counter throw. VF needs to bring back the stopping power of the block against spin moves like VF3, you can't evade them so stop them with your gaurd. It has also gotten too fast for it's own good, attacks have very few recover frames. That's my take on these two, I actually prefer SF3.
Tekken 6 (already out in japan) is coming at the end of this year for both consoles. IF you're a serious fighting gamer, you can consider VF5 as your first purchase, DOA4 as a second purchase. Now that Street Fighter IV is out you can consider that one too. Or the Street Fighter II Turbo HD remix..
They both seem similar-Virtua Fighter ftw tho-more variation in characters/styles/not just slamming your opponents down or picking the girl with the shortest clothes unlike DOA
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Doa4 have to many sexy girls fighting in short skirts(obviosly people can see there underwear. not cool!!) or showing her ``upper body parts``. Doa4 is Not appropriate. IN VF5 girls have the right costumes for combat. Girls are intelligent in VF5.
VF5 is more appropriate.
IT might be weird for a man to say this ,but I don't encourage video games made buy PERFERTS. seriously no real girls will ever get dressed like that in public!! Virtua fighter 5 is better and thats final.
Though i agree the girls on doa do lack some cloths on some costumes, there are always normal costumes to pick. Besides, the fighting is more deep that most people actually think it is..
Comes from the guy who has trouble slow escaping xD Lmao. DOA has stuff that most people never find out about. You probably don't know open or closed stance actually matters to which side you must move to get behind your opponent with kokoro either. DOA is flexibility and that makes it deep. Its the only fighter you can manipulate your moves with by delaying them mid-string for a "long" time. Though sidestepping would be nice, it's not a buttonmasher like a lot of people make it out to be.
Any fighting game can be random. DOA simply seems more like it because it's more flexible and less restricting, since you can protect yourself at any time except in the air. Other fighting games often give you guarantees, which can be good or bad depending on opinion.. But if you don't like how random it is, why do you play it xD
Like I said, you can defend yourself at anytime except in the air. Besides that, you have the ability to delay your moves within a certain string, where as in other fighting games this is usually not possible. You would only have the option between cancelling mid string or doing the full string and not delaying any moves except for some charge attacks maybe. The only thing missing in DOA is proper sidestepping, but that would also make it impossible to get behind ur opponent i think..
@hardmancanada Are you fucking mad?! DOA4 is one of the best games of all time, without panties, bouncing boobs and the girls wear pants, it will be boring as hell like VF5! Your just pathetic, get a life! VF5 has NO story, all they do is fight and thats it, VF5 has terrible voice acting and no subtitles, VF is just the same fucking game play over and over and over. DOA4 is Awesome! VF5 SUCKS Go suck a dick you noob.
@nixedmuts Damn... is this what all DOA fans sounds like? f so i hate to have been part of that community Tom Brady talk about. I play all 3 exceptionally well and DOA is a Piece of Shit. VF then Tekken with DOA dead last.If anyone assumes VF is boring you havent play it much because DOA got is whole scheme from VF. The only thing DOA 4 excels at over them all is Stage interaction. Tekken 6 stages are sick. VF3 gave the inspiration to DOA and Tekken when they did away with ring stages.
VF5 is better, it isn't noob friendly. It's technical, hardcore, and requires alot of skill to play. DOA is very noob and spam friendly and I don't like that in a video game.
VF5 as better graphics, but I like the Manga style of DOA too. I prefer DOA because it's faster, the characters are more charismatic and the stage are better. But I have a lot of fun on Virtua Fighter too.
i got both games, n i gotta say, altho vf5 have better graphics they just can't beat doa's fluidity and fast gameplay. the stages are 100 times better too, so, ya i pick DOA 4 sho!!
My opinion is that I like both DOA and Virtua Fighter. Dead or Alive was inspired by Virtua Fighter 2 and emphasized more on reversals, while Virtua Fighter was meant to be balanced and realistic...

There is no rivalry bewteen doa and virtua fighter, it's takken and virtua fighter, and doa is just a good game, now on to my opinion
Stages-DOA (takes advantage of them)
Fighting-Virtua Fighter (close call, but VF feels natural and more in-depth)
Characters and Costumes-Who cares
Modes-Virtua Fighter (Face it, all fighting game stories suck)
Overall-Virtua Fighter, but DOA is really trailing fast behind
kalebparham 1 year ago
I have both... DOA4 is fast paced and easy to pick up, but it isn't a button masher like most people think. VF is a lot more strategic and technical. If you want a fun fighting game, DOA. If your looking for something more serious, VF.......anyways, DOA > VF.

my favorite character is lau chan im conqueror in quest mode
plus vf5 is the only game with lucha libre fighters and the only one with a mexican character
so not doub about it vf5 wins

icantbelibeit 2 years ago 3
DOA4 wins for me. I respect what VF is about, but I'd rather play DOA. I see VF as the Gran Turismo of Fighting games. It's a strict fighter that's trying to be as close to realistic as possible; however that's not what I want. DOA provides me with a nice balance between realism and being outlandish. Most battles (when watched back) provide amazing choreography. The fighting styles are varied and nicely presented, the way moves change depending on where you are in a stage...
NASTAR01 2 years ago 16
...The variations in moves and counters depending on your opponents approach (low, med, high, air), the way you can use your counter to avoid obsticles such as the cars (vault over them in that stage) and so on. I was playing Tina the other day and she pulled off all these different throws via countering and grappling and I was so impressed by how varied and adaptable her moves were. Brad Wong rode me down the stairs! Never seen that one.
DOA4 is both deep and fun and my favorite 3D Fighter.
NASTAR01 2 years ago 6
@NASTAR01 The points you're making about varied styles and moves changing depending on where one is in the stage applies to VF as well.
heavensxnight 1 year ago
@heavensxnight The core gameplay flows a lot better in DOA, imo. VF feels a lot more... stiff. Regarding moves changing depending on the stage, VF doesn't do it to the extent as DOA. This is mostly due to the stages themselves not being as good as DOA's. The way grapples and counters adapt to these multi-tiered environment makes fights dynamic and you also have stage interactivity with context sensitive moves you can pull of if close enough. DOA is, basically, a silkier and more dynamic VF.
NASTAR01 1 year ago
@NASTAR01 Seeing as I recently got back into VF with VF5 Online in October, and have been playing it quite often offline or with some really good players online, I noticed that a round can end in 4 or 5 seconds - so stiff isn't even at the bottom of the list for what I'd call this game. Maybe your attitude towards VF is colored by the simple fact that it's easier to get away with mashing and punishing said mashing in DOA. But I wouldn't dare compare the two games as similar to each other.
heavensxnight 1 year ago
@heavensxnight 'Stiff' was the wrong term to use, tbh; what I mean is it's very 'technical'. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, either. As I've mentioned before it's the Gran Turismo of the Fighting genre, because it aims to capture that realism of the sport more than it's rivals. DOA has enough realism, aided by enough OTTness, imo. Button mashing can be a problem in DOA, but Counters go along way to thwarting that. It's about playing mind-games. I appreciate VF, but it isn't for me.
NASTAR01 1 year ago
@NASTAR01 "Maybe your attitude towards VF is colored by the simple fact that it's easier to get away with mashing and punishing said mashing in DOA." - I was referring to the counter system. It's quite remarkable that DOA is the only fighting game in existence where almost every "combo" performed on a grounded opponent isn't actually a combo - as it is easily interrupted by a counter maneuver. It eventually gets to a point where you're playing rock paper scissors instead of fight.
heavensxnight 1 year ago
@heavensxnight That does, on occassions, bother me, if I'm to be honest; but the majority of the time I don't mind what Countering brings to the experience. It creates more urgency for a player, and his/her opponent, which forces you not to button mash, or go on an all out offence. You have to alternate between high and low attacks, which could just consist of 1-4 hits; and mind-game your foe. I love that it's very risky to attempt big combos because, in reality, fights are more like that.
NASTAR01 1 year ago
@NASTAR01 A combo is a series of attacks one instantly after the other that prevent the opponent from retaliating until the combo ends; because of the counter system in DOA, the only true combos the game has are ones performed while the opponent is airborne. The high/low mixup game is pretty important in fighting games in general, and definitely in VF, not just DOA. Mashing in VF is also ill-advised with the defensive/offensive sidestepping system, tsubakis, and reversals (which Aoi excels at).

i have both games now. i had doa 4 first and just got virtua fighter 5. well they are both totally different through and through. it depends on your playstyle. i love doa 4 with the graphics, stages and characters and costumes, the best part about doa 4 is the countering system. its easy yet have to time it good and if you can play good then no button masher can compare. VF5 on the other had is equally good in all aspects but its the deepness in stratigic play that gives it its edge. I LUV both
yavoz32 2 years ago
just to add to VF5, i have to say it has a better representation for the martial arts styles. thats a plus in my book!its a very very time consuming deep technical fighter. i found more of myself playin vf5 now then doa4. VF5 could use open stages too but then it would be more like doa4. I love both and play both but for different moods i am in. if i just wanna roll through and get busy kick butt then its DOA but if i wanna get into being techy then vf5. both rock!!!!!

The girl's costume can change from normal to sexy to traditional you name it.Although VF have a slightly better winning sequece/scene, the cinematics aren't that exciting as DOA to me

But the gameplay is funnier in DO4.

but VF5 i say is better because with DOA you can just pull a combo out your ass in a sec but with VF you have to be on key with moves plus you can combine combos together and not only that you can't just put in VF and think its all good no you have to train on a day to day bases plus all the fighters are even the more power the slower you'll get but the faster the less power so choose wisely.

AyaneHajinmon 3 years ago 5
I have them both, and dislike them both for various reasons. DoA reversals save you too much. One shouldn't be able to reverse out of a combo or stagger, or escape a counter throw. VF needs to bring back the stopping power of the block against spin moves like VF3, you can't evade them so stop them with your gaurd. It has also gotten too fast for it's own good, attacks have very few recover frames. That's my take on these two, I actually prefer SF3.

Doa4 have to many sexy girls fighting in short skirts(obviosly people can see there underwear. not cool!!) or showing her ``upper body parts``. Doa4 is Not appropriate. IN VF5 girls have the right costumes for combat. Girls are intelligent in VF5.
VF5 is more appropriate.
IT might be weird for a man to say this ,but I don't encourage video games made buy PERFERTS. seriously no real girls will ever get dressed like that in public!! Virtua fighter 5 is better and thats final.

evilbetty11 2 years ago
Comes from the guy who has trouble slow escaping xD Lmao. DOA has stuff that most people never find out about. You probably don't know open or closed stance actually matters to which side you must move to get behind your opponent with kokoro either. DOA is flexibility and that makes it deep. Its the only fighter you can manipulate your moves with by delaying them mid-string for a "long" time. Though sidestepping would be nice, it's not a buttonmasher like a lot of people make it out to be.
Antilli 2 years ago 4
Lol. Keep my sloe-escaping problems out thank you....
Well actually, I did know that(you mentioned it the other day xD)Still tho' I don't like how 'random' this game is.
evilbetty11 2 years ago
Lol ok sorry xD
Any fighting game can be random. DOA simply seems more like it because it's more flexible and less restricting, since you can protect yourself at any time except in the air. Other fighting games often give you guarantees, which can be good or bad depending on opinion.. But if you don't like how random it is, why do you play it xD
Antilli 2 years ago
tbh I dunno why I still play it. I guess it's fun sometimes. What do you mean when you say "flexible" and "less restricting"?
evilbetty11 2 years ago
Like I said, you can defend yourself at anytime except in the air. Besides that, you have the ability to delay your moves within a certain string, where as in other fighting games this is usually not possible. You would only have the option between cancelling mid string or doing the full string and not delaying any moves except for some charge attacks maybe. The only thing missing in DOA is proper sidestepping, but that would also make it impossible to get behind ur opponent i think..

Tekken 6 stages are sick. VF3 gave the inspiration to DOA and Tekken when they did away with ring stages.
