Dead or Alive 5 or Tekken Tag 2? ;_;

Feel bad for Harada having to deal with things like this
 
A good number of top players actually prefer to play on pad in both games. So yes.

I know DOA is. Not sure about Tekken

Tekken works well on the PS3 pad...
Thanks. From watching DoA when CGS was around, I assumed DoA was ideally played on pad but the announcement of DoA fightsticks left me uncertain. I was very unsure about Tekken because the only top player that I know of who plays Tekken on pad is Rip (I'm not familiar with high-level Tekken).
 
I'd like to get both.

Are DoA 5 and Tekken Tag 2 very controller-friendly (specifically dualshock-friendly) fighters as compared to Street Fighter IV and it's butter-churning characters like Zangief?

I got a 32 win streak in tekken 5 in the arcades on pad :D *thank god for that controller port best thing ever* So yes pad is fine
 
Get both? :P

After that than I guess get it on your preferred controller. Pad works well for tekken, but I'm too used to the arcade stick by now.
 
yeah if DOA netcode is like MK9's then I'll be glad to return the game. I'm getting the game day 1 (newegg for 45) but I won't be opening it until I hear netcode impression.

edit

Hopefully DOA netcode is at the very least SSF4:AE to SC5/P4A quality. I'll buy both games because I support fighting games. I have almost every major fighting game somewhere in my house at one point in time and will be glad to support any quality fighter.
 
I'm getting both. I've bought/played/enjoyed all the previous in both series. I'll try to get more into TTT2 seeing as how there's gonna be lots of local competition for it. DOA has always been lots of fun and friendlier for my casual friends and the addition of VF characters makes me happy.

Nah they've been doing good netcode since 04, not worried at all.
 
Well, haven't played any DoA, though everytime I see something related to a game of the saga, it doesn't look like they're talking about a fighting game, just about boobs (MATURITY!).

So for now, TTT2 all the way.

It's a fighting game and a well crafted one. You're just selectivley reading what you want.
 
Is that $45 Newegg deal for DOA 5 still good?

No. Wished it was though so I could pickup some more games.


Also I wasn't aware that the past DOAs (excluding 3.1) were solid competitive fighters. I was always under the impression it was garbage from people like Tom Brady, PL, Rikuto and etc.

DOA2 was very good, just outdated compared to DOA3.

Bah, shame. My cheap ass gotta muster up 60, then.
 
even dimensions has solid net code.

It's my opinion that every DoA aside from 4 are solid fighters. I'd say the best is DoA++ followed closely by 3.1. But they've all been good.

4 is ass.

I'd say one of the problems is public perception of DoA (tits, counters lololol), and shitty community representation: both in the number of people willing to show for tourneys, and those top players who, by virtue of being top players, get their voices heard.
 
even dimensions has solid net code.

Yup unlike Tekken for 3DS which I heard was ass. Tekken needs an especially tight netcode though, with the way throws and lows are handled. In Tekken 6 I could get away with throws like no ones business.
 
We all agree that DOA 5 is going to be better than DOA 4... And well tag 2 is only as good as DOA 4 going by famitsu.
 
I think i'll give doa5 a shot. Never played one before. I've played Tekken, but I want something new.

Any deals going on now? I know i missed a bunch.

No worries. B2G1 event is nearly upon us.
 
Oh man, please let there be a Tekken Tunes-esque feature for Dead or Alive 5
so I can listen to TTT2's effing amazing music in DoA5.
