Oh yeah, and I do agree that DOA is superior to Tekken in terms of fluid movements, smooth controls and feel.

But I just cant stand playing this game with my HRAP arcade stick.

Why should Free-Stepping be in a seperate button? It's like, I have to constantly hold down the Free-step button while I'm controlling the character with my balltop in order to move freely throughout the stage. Not to mention the other buttons I have to press. i.e, block, punch, kick, ect...

[gamemaster14neo]

In doa3 and above all you have to do to free step/side step is hit up or down twice quickly.

Is copy of Tekken

[gamemaster14neo]

I honestly think Dead or Alive has far surpassed tekken. The gameplay in doa flows much more smoothly compared to tekken.

Saying doa is a copy of tekken is like saying every 2d fighting game with projectile moves is a copy of street fighter which simply isnt true.

your WRONG i've personally used the trick,and played the volleyball mini game,part of the trick was removing the memory card,using controller 2 slot only,but can't recall the settings for time limit, difficulty ,ect.I've also offered $50.00 CASH for anyone finding and making the trick known ,just tell me where to send the CASH. note there will be a total of FOUR small boxes,where CG gallery box is when game is totally unlocked.

[gamemaster14neo]

Offer me any kind of proof of this and I will believe you, but the only time I have ever heard of volleyball in doa2 was Itagaki said it was originally an idea he had for doa2 but he simply never did it and eventually made it into its own game.

[BPM]

Yikes, Tomonobu Itagaki looks vastly different back then from he does now. You'd swear this was another guy!

[Shoot1ngStar]

They talk about feeling good when u play this.

Yes, i feel horny when i play this because they seduce me with the fanservice of cute busty chicks. And feeling horny is very "good"

It takes a bit of reference from Tekken but this game series has much more smoother gameplay. Which makes it a hell of lot easier.

[bryanzellar]

@drsc YES! My only beef with the game is the f**king side step. Side step should always be a 1 button input, not hold this then do that, not in a fighting game where time is a factor lol. Other then that I have had a lot of fun playing this :D

[bryanzellar]

@gamemaster14neo Tekken and doa can't even be compared. Who could think either were copying the other lol. DOA is about the chance game with it's counters and defense while Tekken is a momentum game that is based mostly on how long your offense can last and the timing to pull it off. Tekken has parries and counters and very good defense as well but just not with every character cuz not every style is defensive. Tekken has more to offer I think but DOA is so beautifully smooth. Both are great.

[Megabelgie]

@04163956782 No xD

[PurifiedKasumi]

@gamemaster14neo Actually you just simply press up or down to Free Step. You don't have to double tap like in Tekken.

[raigekiman]

man this was my fav DOA game ever no matter what others were ok

[NoName7467]

Best dam series ever

"In the dojo, I wanted to introduce japanese culture to the americans"

Um...yeah......you're about 9 years too late. Infact....more than that is possible.

[187Sozum]

Really? I mean DOA2 was good back in the day but DOA3 fixed a lot of things people hated about 2 and refined the fighting engine quite a bit.

[187Sozum]

That's why DOA3 is arguably the best in the series. It used a much better circle strafing mechanic and the stages were just the best Ive ever seen in a fighting game. Plus for kasumi players like myself she was just pure power! It sucks that they took some of her power moves out of DOA4 =(.
