I'm not even a big SNK fan or a big fan of fighting games in general but I must say that's a load of crap. Please explain what's wrong with MOTW's gameplay. It plays incredibly smooth and has great artwork.

How's that, exactly?

DOA:U is shaping up to be superior to MotW and 3S in every aspect except for gameplay (and possibly music)... and as has been said before, it's entirely possible to enjoy the DOA games as casual fighters.

Elaborate, or hush.

EDIT: And wasn't your point in this case about improvements? whut

Opinions are like assholes...there are penty of them on message boards.

I will use this post to segue into the post I made in the MK: Deception thread:

I never spent that much time on Virtua Fighter or Street Fighter or any of those complex games so Im awful at them, and I only like fighting games with easier mechanics. I know Im in the majority, here, too.

And with regards to whether a fighter like Street Fighter or VF is better than MK or DOA, thats a good question. Certainly, SF and VF have more moves and are better balanced to some degree, but really MK or DOAU are a lot more fun for a lot more people. And that has to count for something.

Basically, comparing fighters like SF/VF to DOA/MK is stupid and useless. I dont know why Yoshi feels the need to do it in every thread about DOA or MK. In the same way that RTS games can co-exist with those nichey, hardcore, hex turn-based wargames (or even one like Combat Mission), looser, more fun fighting games like DOA can co-exist with nichey, hardcore ones like SF or VF. And really thats all there is to it.

Oh, but King of Fighters is just trash.

So why is a company giving fans of their games what they want such a big deal to people who aren't fans of their games? If they put a new car everyone wanted in Gran Tourismo 4 I wouldn't feel the need to go into the thread and whine because everyone's so happy about it.

You don't like Itagaki or Team Ninja. We get it. It's not new. Now stop.

I can deal with a simplistic fighting game (I actually had fun with Evil Zone)--frankly, I don't want to get into any fighter like I did with MvC2 again. That took entirely too much effort and went nowhere. My problem with DoA is not the simplicity.

I hate how much damage the easy-to-execute counters do. I believe that is all I have complained about in this thread. I didn't bring up MvC2 to insult DoA--I simply defended it against a retarded argument that's too persistent that someone else brought up.

So... if thats your only problem, I would expect you to like DOA very much. After all, every fighting game has problems or is broken on some level, and those counters are hardly game-breaking.

Since I play with other people that are good at video games, yes, the counters are that big of a problem.
