Cammy got some lethal crotch exposure going on. :X
Ibuki should be what, in her early twenties in this one? I wonder if she'll get a nice alt costume. :3
She was still a schoolgirl in 3S. And this is supposed to be taking place before 3 (they never said which one though).
So uh, don't get carried away xD
Same set of fans chastise one series and unanimously praise the other for cheesecake.
If you wanna get technical, a lot of people always felt DOA used the fanservice to make up for being the weakest 3D fighter in the competition. I said before the series is pretty decent (haven't played any past 3 myself), even the 1st game, but it's always been the last pick in serious circles compared to Virtua Fighter and Tekken. 'Cuz on average those series just have better playing games and better mechanics, and sometimes throw a little TnA into the mix (moreso what Tekken's done for a while).
So it's like, they and SF (which is obviously one of the top 2D fighting game series out there. It, KOF and GG tend to rule their roost just like VF and Tekken do theirs) can throw in the cheesecake b/c they're still putting that on top of legit good game mechanics and such, and they got a rep for being good-playing fighters before people started eye-humping characters in the games.
DOA started out as a decent playing series that's gotten better over time but they definitely used the TnA to get people to play a fighter that, for a long time, was simply not as good as VF or Tekken. The fact they skipped arcade versions for 3 onward kind of speaks to that.
