I've always thought of the DOA series as a fun, but flawed and shallow fighter. Granted, I never gave it much of a chance. I rented it and played through the arcade mode a couple times and I would play it at a friend's house every now and then, so perhaps I'm naive and never got to the deeper part of the game.
However, whenever I watch two people who claim to be good at the game, it always just seems to become a game of throwing random parries out and doing outrageous damage when someone's back is to the wall.
I've been wrong before. I thought smash was merely a party game, til I got to the deeper side of it. Now, I'm a competitive player and one of the top in my area.
So if there are any DOA players here on Shoryuken that can honestly and reasonably explain to me why this is a competitive fighter, please go right ahead. Although, to be honest, the fact that Dead or Alive 4 was in evo2k6 (I think) and not in evo2k7 (I think) says a lot.
