DOA 6 BETA #2 IS AVAILABLE NOW Till 2/24 & EVO Scandal?

At least the game is getting more attention- kinda just worried this will be another thing that hypes up the casual audience but continues to make the competitive crowd take the game less seriously. I've been really hoping that this will finally be the 3D game I stick with rather than drop after a couple weeks.

I am SUPER hype for a demo that includes training mode and hopefully a full tutorial as godlike as the DoA5 LR tutorial. It's odd how fighting game demos are so reluctant to give us access to a training mode.

Online was pretty worrying during the last beta. At the very least Tekken and Soul Calibur have set a pretty low bar for what constitutes good netcode. So hoping it will reach at least that.

Whoa whoa whoa hold on just a second...you mean to tell me that I have been subbed and watching videos from this guy for a good while and he's actually a regular poster on this site, one that I have even interacted with before...I had no idea.

Is DOA a beginner-friendly franchise? Is it "easy" to get into DOA games? DOA6 specifically.
To me DOA always looked like a sexier Tekken, which I like, but Tekken also always had the reputation of being super tough to get into and git gud at the game. So it never sparked my attention in the slightest.

(However, I did like to mash buttons with Eddie back during the days of Tekken 3.)

Just like any fighting game there's a lot of depth on the far end when you start digging, but on the surface yeah DoA is easy enough to understand

the rooflehneanmonger guy on youtube made a video for people who don't know how doa works

I mean, it depends if you're used to Japanese style 3D fighting games. They're very different from NRS games and also different from SF. They have quarter-circle motions and all of that good stuff that's similar to SF, but I mean I feel like it would be easier for someone to pick up a DOA game than something like MKX or Injustice.
 
I really hope that this UNBELIEVABLY SCANDALOUS CONTROVERSY gets noticed by more mainstream media.

I've seen that crap with a couple of games like for example "Kingdom Come Deliverance", where a certain group of people interested in a certain type of politics called the game racist, even though it was just being historically accurate. They wanted to bury the game, but instead the game got major backing from gamers, who were defending it against the fake outrage.

Now if that certain group of people, who are interested in a certain type of politics starts attacking DOA 6 for its sexyness, expect the game to sell far more than it would have otherwise. And that's a good thing for the game, for the developer, for the future of the franchise and even the fighting game community - since all of that would attract even gamers, who aren't necessarily into fighting games.
In Kingdom come they didn't add a female choice because they DID NOT WANT TO. Nothing related to accuracy. While true that female Warriors were rare, they existed; and a peasant getting to work directly for the King was way less frecuent than that. They just wanted to play the anti "sjw" card, and it went good for them, but honestly i wont buy a single game from them.
And people calling on "i care about accuracy in my games" lol. First guard would have killed you, in real life you don't get super good at fighting in a hearbeat.
Those retards remind me of people in for honor accusing me of "playing non realist characters" for playing females, while playing with a black viking. LOLZ.

So, I downloaded the demo, played for a few hours and deleted it again. Though it does feel a bit better than DOA5, it’s not enough for me to buy this game.

Diego and Nico felt rather lacking and kinda awkward, not to mention Nico looks like she’s freaking 12 years old. It’s worse than with Marie Rose.

Nah, just not the game for me. I’ll wait for MK11 instead.

I'm feeling somewhat determined to figure this game out enough to give it a fair shake.

I will say I'm not liking how many times you have to hit a button just to close out a match and get going onto whatever the next thing is.

The quality of online feels, hands down, the worst out of anything I've personally ever tried playing online. Even full bar wired icon matches don't feel right, and when it's bad it's really bad. I haven't played a lot of matches, but so far it doesn't seem like a game that anyone is going to be able to take seriously online.

**edit:
Last few matches have felt decent enough, so maybe it's not all bad.

It's the first time I tried a DOA game, I didn't find it very interesting to be honest. I liked that you could use both the square button and back to block (and also parries) but most of the other mechanics were confusing to me. I did follow the tutorial but I don't know, still very confusing. The characters looks almost all forgivable for the most part. It felt like the design team put all of the efforts into Kasumi.

I'll give it a new try tommorow but I probably won't buy it in the end. When I play these kind of games I understand why I love MK so much : awesome characters, well defined atmosphere and simple and yet efficient gameplay.

I agree 100%, it felt weird when I first saw the characters. I thought that the FBI would raid my house if I picked them lol

yo TYM, fyi joey "loser moron mr wizard" cuellar has gone on the record saying quote "I don't like NRS games" and his involvement w/ EVO is a big reason NRS gets the shaft every year and has to beg for scraps while anime games get the royal treatment.

second of all i love everything about this controversy especially the guy wearing a beret, actually mostly just that. but anytime bizarre idiot joey cuellar becomes a meme im all for it. BOY i would really hate to be someone in this thread saying something like "i agree w/ mr. wiz, this was absurd and offensive". i would really hate to be a person like that, to be so cucked.

I tried it out and boy do I fucking suck at it. lmao

NRS games have spoiled me because games like DOA just aren't as user friendly and intuitive. I went through a lot of the tutorial but it's still pretty damn confusing.

Everything except low punches and kicks look like mids or highs which are supposed to be able to be blocked standing, but I get hit by everything anyway hahaha. It does actually seem like a fun game, so I wouldn't mind trying to get better at it.

Character wise, Mila looks fucking cool, I dig the character, but some of them... yeeesh. I'd probably main Mila, Tina, or Hitomi

First beta I was getting totally blown up. I didn't play all that much, but I think I won all of one time total. Not quite sure why, but I started winning most of my matches yesterday. There is a lot of spazing out going on that should fail some of these people pretty soon.

I think some of what started helping was to be more patient with blocking, spacing, and if they are taking advantage of how fast punches are then take advantage of low profile moves to discourage mashing P. If you see someone have a pause before their final strike, it's probably begging you to counter it. Or block it and mash P yourself because they probably have never heard of being negative before. I'm not saying these are good strategies, just a couple of things that seem to help me fight off some spaz warriors a few hours in.

I'm still jury's out on the game. I feel like it eventually turns into I know that you know, that I know that you know, that I think you will, so I'm going to. I'm not all that clever, and probably can't do much of that. And could they seriously limit the pterodactyl to once a round. 5-6 times in a round it's a little excessive.
