Fun time. I like DOA more than tekken when it comes to 3D fighting thanks to the cute girls, artstyle and smooth animations. The newer DOAs look good but I have a soft spot for the older artstyle since I played a ton of DOA dimensions on the 3DS when it released. Also I do miss having the newer characters like honkers, marie and mila but nicole is a cool addition at least. The story is still absolute nonsense which makes for some funny cutscenes and endings. Zack's cutscene where he's climbing the doatech tri tower just because it's there truly encapsulates fighting game stories as a whole. While I did enjoy fighting through the stories for the most part, the harder AI opponents can be very frustrating due to the hold system and relatively long throw animations. ALSO I HATE ALPHA 152. WHY would you let a fighting game boss take off more than 50% HP in a single combo? Nande?
