    Well, the 1st game kinda did that, since the 3 original female chars (Kasumi, Lei Fang and Tina) premise was that they were fighting in a men's world.
    And with subsequent games the female to male ratio has always been F>M, even replacing a char like Ein with Hitomi.
     
    The you have the fact that an all female cast was already done, (not sure if in 3d fgs though), and no matter what people say, an all female cast makes your game kind of a niche one, some people get insecure if they dont have buff half naked guys to play with 👀
     
    I think that DOA has only until recently have fallen of grace, even if didnt have a strong presence in tournaments all the time, is a series that consistently has sold very well, and even had pro tours on the OG Xbox and 360 era while other games didnt.
     
    Is just until DOA6 that the series has re3ally struggled

    Plus, is only on the free version of Extreme Venus Vacation.
    And iirc, is only really available on japan and part of asia (you can still get it on steam via some fuckery)
    If you just want to fuck with the classic formula, you have the Vita and PS4 versions, but they dont have the newer waifus and the newer swimsuits :/
     
    But i think you can hack them into the old Xtreme3 and DOA5 and DOA6 for PC
     
    I know some even hacked the whole pol dance mode into those games and even added waifus of other series.

    Everyone knows those files are Chun Li costumes, so capcom doesnt have anything to fear.

    No it didnt, and no, it isnt useless at high level play.
    WTF are you talking about?, lol.
    Have you not watched high level play?
    The mechanic is used, is just that it isnt an intrussive one, and has a place and time when to use it, since it can be countered if used at the wrong time.
     
    If anything, that shows that it was a good implementation, since it isnt a mechanic that interrupts the flow of the game.

    Ah, MK animation fight. Nice. Guess we're breaking in Mega Shock with the classics. 
     
    The 2D MK games have always looked like action figures to me, so even the more egregious animations never really bothered me. 
     
    I think between trying to make the games feel similar to the first 3, while also trying to create these very fluid animations in a series that has been historically pretty stiff, probably has its own struggles and complications. Gotta compromise somewhere. 
     
    For anyone thinking about it: Please miss me with the mini novella explaining why I don't understand basic animation or why MK animation is the objectively worst thing to happen since the Holocaust.

    Considering we already have RPS scenarios on fgs anyway, i fail to see how they are bad in 1vs1 fgs
     
    I dont really mind them as long as they arent really intrussive or busted.
     
    SC6 added a mechanic like that, and i think it added a distinctive dynamic to the game without taking away the SC essence from it.
    DOA has its counter mechanic that works kind of like that and the series works fine with it.
     
    Like any mechanic, it all depends on how you implement it and what adds to the game.

    Not fan of the new Mileena's look.
    When compred to her look on MKX, this one feels kind of a downgrade, lol.
     
    Also, as somneone who practiced martial arts in his youth, the way many chars lean forward on their idle stances kind of annoys me since they are supposed to be martial artists yet keep doing a bad posture that forgoes guarding and put their face in place to eat a kick befor they could be able to react 😠

    Nah fam, you are proposing an unsutainable way for them to run a business.
    For starters, you doint even know if the people working on those small projects have the expertice to work on VTM2.
     
    What you are proposing is the usual mistake that rookie and bad managers make that assume that putting more people to work on a project will make the project end faster and without problems.
    Something i had to deal plenty on different projects and companies i worked with.

    I'll express myself however i want. 
     
    Its the only thing they are working on that i care about so i would prefer they focus on it. My comment stands. 
     
    That's cool bro. I hope everything turns out alright for you guys. Like i hope it just blows over ya'll with a light shower. Wishful thinking but my best hopes regardless. 
     
    "But if you get your feathers flustered beause someone reply to some stuff you post, then why post it on a forum? Lol"
     
    I'm not flustered. Im just saying the direction you are coming from isn't something I am concerned about.
