When you whine like this, you kill the game even more dude. You don't have the final say in if the game lives or not. Others enjoy it. Stay with your DoA5 if it makes ya happy. SonicFox knows a hell lot about DOA?? No, let him stay in MK. He gets his ass flattened in Tekken, SF, or anything where the Asian players loom large.

I actually got into DOA because of the fun as hell DOA6 tourney videos you guys did last year. This game has been a blast to play, and has made my quarantine awesome. NiCO will always be my girl, and Jann Lee can go eat a giant banana.

[@somecoder3054]

NGL, this would be a nice nail in the coffin for the game. After a year, most people just lost interest. Most of my regular people on the friends list don't play anymore. Doa6 has made me a worse player than I was in 5LR. Make a DOA7 instead of a 6U.

[@cesarestrada9263]

This was good! Breaking every character down.. keep up the good work! I too hope DOA comes back better than ever

great video man.. loved this. right into words everything i was thinking.. even right at the end you were talkin about 5 and the level of creativity we had in 5 with the tecs and stun game i miss so much.

[@HARDHEAD7WD]

As a Tina main i am proud to have found this video, but also had no clue ppl held Tina in high regard considering no one ever picks her

[@xkhvgcgpyugtqn6851]

I agree with eliot's placing. Hes good to be sure but hes one of, if not, the most linear character in the game. And with the number of mids in each of his strings he is easily held or sidestepped. The only reasonable way to counteract this would be to use shorter strings ending with K. The only time he can use longer strings is for 46p combo ender off a launch. I might be a bit off but only cause I haven't played in a while

[@OseiTheWarriors]

Before I say anything just wanna say thanks for the DOA6 content Team Ninja screwed this games future and I'm worried that we won't even get a DOA7 at all. I'm gonna talk about the list in another comment.

[@dannyrivas40]

The moment I start playing DOA6 again I bump into your video again. It just makes sense. Glad to see this. Just a casual so I don't think about this.

[@thatpersoneveryoneknowsbut7533]

Lol I've hated Jann for the longest time now someone else finally realizes my pain😂

[@Sigma993]

Great tier list! Mai is my main and I just told a friend yesterday that I feel like she is one of the most underrated characters in the game and that she might actually be S-tier! Same goes for Phase 4, but man sadly the shitty netcode can really screw u over when playing her online...

[@ZeroBeat1]

Phase 4 also suffers from an issue that I think only affects her. After you hit P+K, there's a small window where the game does not accept any P or K inputs, but it does accept H inputs. This means if you hit H+K or T too soon after doing a Chifu or Tenfu cancel, the game will read it as H and you'll free cancel instead, which can really mess up your combos because you have to time when to press H+K or T. Sadly, this was never addressed in any of the patches.

[@xUmbranx]

Oh lord here comes the Kulas after watching

[@Hitorio]

Damn; it's inspiring to see discussions like this between people who deeply know their craft.

[@YophiGames]

You ever think of doing a lore tier list? Some of the games had terrible storylines, but I think it helped flesh out some much needed character development. I'd like to see one

[@raionbomber75]

Damn I always talk about Soul Calibur 3 cause it brought alot of the good single player content that most 3D fighters these days still can't bring to the table. Two story modes, create a soul, decent tutorial and neat unlockables. Competitively that game was a glitched mess tho, and I'm still mad we never got a console port of the fixed Arcade version that came afterwards.

[@bugesevinc12]

At 5.20 I would have said that raidou needs a rework. He should have a new movelist and be some kind of safe. Hopefully they don't bring raidou back in doa7 or revamp him in 6u cause it's frustrating to be a raidou main and get stomped by everyone. Ps: It's just an opinion.

[@zhaoyun255]

Bayman here disrespects his other comrade from Tekken 7, Dragunov. KT really didn't like this bland of a character at all while Dragunov got so much love both with his design, character and moveset.

[@ZeroBeat1]

Phase 4 suffers from an issue that I think only affects her. After you hit P+K by itself with any character, there's a small window where the game does not accept any P or K inputs, but it does accept H inputs. If I remember right, this isn't an issue if you use P+K with a directional input. This means if you're playing Phase and you hit H+K too soon after doing a Chifu or T too soon after doing a Chifu or Tenfu cancel, the game will read it as H and you'll free cancel instead, which means you drop your combo. You have to time your H+K and T presses, which can also lead to dropping your combo. I'm pretty sure this wasn't an issue in 5, and this was never addressed in any of the patches for 6. Thankfully P, K, and P+K follow-ups can be done just by mashing. That said, I'm glad that despite that she's still a great character, though I do agree that you need practice, practice, practice and study all the other characters inside and out because she is very unsafe. Also, I would argue that Nagikaze was the best thing she got in 6, but then they added 4H+K and she got even more ridiculous, even after they nerfed Tenfu P+K.

[@CyberianFaux]

I know I am barely an above average player when it comes to DOA5/Ultimate/5LR (had a very strict tourney friend who taught me the mechanics and such of the series alongside how to play Hitomi) but it genuinely felt most of my losses in DOA6 were to people that were of lower skill than me. I don't know what it was about this game that made it feel this way but it was like I was a worse player than I was when I started playing it which burnt me out. It honestly caused me to stop playing all of the games until this past month where I started playing the series again. Would love to see a DOA game that takes itself more seriously, has the visuals (or even better) of DOA6, respects their characters, and still allows the creativity I felt with learning DOA5.

[@ZandatsuGaming]

Nicelist and interesting conversations. But I am still surprised Ayane is not in S-Tier and regarding the state of DOA6.. yeah it's pretty much dead but i will not go back to DOA5. I hate the emphasize on sit-down stuns there, the stupid Power launcher height, the wierd sidestep that got introduced, Ein bein trash and the environment graphics are DEPRESSING and BAD! If you guys like it though and go back to it than that's fine with me. But all what is kinda left for me now when it comes to DOA are the great memories of the past.. Before GREED and DAMN Guest characters got into this franchise or i am just getting to old to "appreciate" this current state of fighting games.. 😐

About the list. This seems about right. Rikuto knew they fucked Bayman Nice to see Marie out of D rank she never seemed like the "worst" Still think Zack is slept on wish he were higher Hitomi always seems like an all rounder B feels right Nyo and Rachel right next to each other is accurate actually glad Nyo is lower this time around. I don't see Tamaki being this high, but I can't blame y'all since, like you said "they never had a chance" we have nothing but theory on her. Surprised Ayane isn't S tier. Personal hatred: Fuck Nico, Kula, and Rig. Still think Kula is busted and that Rig never loses his turn. I main Nyo BTW Christie is the glow up queen. I never thought I'd see the day she'd be over fucking Kasumi. Phase deserves her spot, she's good but fair due to difficulty just like Akuma in T7 Hayabusa is still the king!!! New Ninja Gaiden game when? (Who am I kidding) Overall great list in gonna miss these tier videos if DOA5 is still kicking I may start playing that over 6.
