Added 2022-05-03 02:36:02 +0000 UTCI can say without irony that I believe Dead or Alive 5: Last Round on PS4 to be the best tournament fighting game ever made. I'm serious, I really think it is. It's fast, it's flashy, it's easy to pick up but difficult to master, the move sets rely more on strategic timing than complex button inputs, and the bombastic destructible stages make you feel like you're watching two superheroes pummel the crap out of each other. Also: tits. Just bouncing tits and panties everywhere. 10/10.
I've drawn DoA girls in the past, but I think this is the first time drawing my main and personal favorite: Lisa Hamilton. Lisa is an unscrupulous scientist who moonlights as a luchador wrestler. (Do I have to keep explaining why this game is awesome?)
But Rein, you ask, what about Dead or Alive 6? I don't talk about DoA6, I'm afraid, as it's not so much a "game" as it is "a product designed to inflict pain until you pay extra to make it stop." You unlock costumes by playing a boring, frustrating series of tutorials that go on forever. I assume this gameplay structure was implemented after their first idea of "send a guy to shove spiders into your mouth until you open the store page" proved to be too expensive to implement.
But I'm not all doom and gloom on the franchise. DoA 5 was so epic, there's a fair chance that no follow up could have topped it no matter what they did. And at the rate publishers are getting gobbled up these days, the series could find itself with slightly less evil owners in the future. One can hope! Meanwhile if you think I'm right or wrong or just have your own input about the games to share, let me know!

Thanks dude! :)

2022-05-04 01:48:28 +0000 UTCI think Lisa is one of the rare examples where I actually got good with the character I found most appealing visually, two diagrams that almost never overlap. XD

2022-05-04 01:45:35 +0000 UTCI do think DoA flows quite organically when it comes to learning combos. Like, kick, punch, punch does this, what happens if I hold backwards during that first punch? You often discover a whole new combo right there. Less wrote memorization and more just picking it up as you go. :)

2022-05-04 01:44:58 +0000 UTCAhhh DOA, the reason I bought a second hand PlayStation 1 XD and then, a PlayStation 2. Loved this game, I could actually pull of combos and blocks. Though sadly the PC version of DOA 5 got cut up into massive amounts of DLC. I only know Lisa from the volley ball games, not sure she had a background story at that point. Awesome art, loving the colours. :)

2022-05-03 11:01:04 +0000 UTCNever played DOA so I'm not familiar with this character but she looks amazing. I don't even want to look up her official art because you probably made her look way better than she does in-game lol.

2022-05-03 07:37:42 +0000 UTCDoA5LR is likely the new competitive high water mark of the series, even though I was much better at DoA6. As far as tournament balance I have... opinions, as a long time tourney player, but it's funny how divisive the cast is. Mila, Tina, and Lisa are aesthetic faves, though I'm only competitively good at Mila More fighting game art and more black women art is always a plus tho A+ content here!

2022-05-03 04:19:20 +0000 UTCI use to be into the DOA series when I was younger. Obviously for the great mechanics and the wonderful story. 👍

2022-05-03 02:59:21 +0000 UTCDOA 5 is absolutely the best in the series. It’s criminal that it doesn’t get enough credit as the quality fighting game it is. Also wet T-Shirt effects 👌

2022-05-03 02:39:28 +0000 UTCI never could get into tournament fighters. Maybe this one could be the one for me, but, all those complicated button combinations, with my piss-poor memory? No thanks.
