I don't have a problem with people saying that they had fun with it. Of course, you can have fun with anything. But DOA is a joke competitively, especially DOA 4. IIRC DOA 2 and DOA 3.1 were the go-to tournament versions, but the last few versions have been terrible. The DOA competitive community, at least in the US, is full of frauds. I mean you guys know about my various arguments with Tekken players here, but even I admit that Tekken is way more fun (which is subjective) and is a better fighting game than DOA4 (not subjective). DOA4 is a watered down punch-counter-kick-counter game. When it comes to 3D fighting games, Tekken is the most over-the-top, Virtua Fighter is the most complex, yet both of them are pretty good. DOA tries hard to be a mix of both but fails to be as smart a game as either. I mean DOA is pretty much dead right now. Ever since CGS or whatever that organisation stopped the DOA league its been totally irrelevent. The 3DS game doesn't help its competitive scene either.
Soul Calibur is in as bad a condition as DOA is right now. But as I said on the first page, this one trailer makes me more interested than everything I've seen of SCV (which is a franchise I love, but still admit that the latest games are bad). I play almost all fighting games without my love/hate of one interfering with the other. If you're still not convinced,
hear Tom Brady out, though his rants are a mix of DOA4 as a game and his hate of the US community.
