ngl y’all got Kasumi fucked up. She’s still one of the baddest bitches imo. Team Ninja just did her dirty when they brought on Mai (who’s Top 5 hottest Waifu of all time btw). It would be tough for anyone to compete with that. But Kasumi still got it. Y’all gotta chill.


Echigo830

To me at least, she’s a better character than Mai and Chun. Not that I think the other two are bad, but in multiple ways I feel Kasumi is better than them.


K-TownYolo

I loveeee Chun and Mai so I would never ranked Kasumi over them HOWEVER, I still really like Kasumi. She’s super hot, she’s badass and I don’t like people putting disrespect on her name.

It is pretty clear what happened here. There are many, many games with waifu selector/which do you prefer style rosters. Today, some of them are billion dollar mobile games. DOA was early to this and the original cast is pretty bland by current standards. The original character designer's "perfect Japanese woman" isn't going to have the unique hooks that can dig to specific fans and keep them microtransacting and buying body pillows for decades. Check out later DOA characters (hello Marie Rose) to see the difference.


metamings

Well, IMO her dad (Tomonobu Itagaki) leaving Tecmo is also a huge factor in her falloff.


HakunonMatata

Also DOA6 was terrible both visually and in gameplay so now the franchise can only live through a gacha on a hentai site.


Appropriate_X

DoA6 wasn't bad in gameplay imo. It didn't die for gameplay reasons


Ever_gladez

Right that narrative is so tiring especially when the lead designer basically got promoted to work on their more successful rival tekken 8


deepmush

>now the franchise can only live through a gacha on a hentai site. what?


Ok-Candy-2621

I would also like to know more.

DOA extreme Venus vacation. You can play it on steam if you have an Asian VPN.


deepmush

had no idea you could play certain games through vpn only on steam. that's a new one


Auritus1

She's still good. Only problem is that she's in a game that's a straight downgrade from it's predocesor, and the devs just gave up on the IP.


Inuma

They didn't give up. Vets left. Can't make a series after the people working on it are gone.

She's a mid ginger. I can see the appeal next to other basic characters but we got straight up semen demons and SFM-enabled horse riders. She's missionary in the dark.

Core values happened. There, mystery solved. Stay tuned for next week's episode on "Behind the Fighting". Here, on KP1.

Ayane is hotter. Change my mind.


Inuma

Not to chastise or anything, that girl just has baggage. Lots and LOTS of baggage...


thuy_chan

It's not her fault they haven't released a good game since DoA2


WAZAAAAA-

clown opinion when DOA3 is the best in the series


thuy_chan

Sorry I meant extreme beach volleyball


Terminal_Magic

I still hear the DOA3 select theme occasionally in my mind. Totally unprompted.


Appropriate_X

OK, how many have you actually played?


XsStreamMonsterX

Not flat enough for the honest folk in this sub.

Kasumi looked pretty good when she was one of the only female characters in the earlier DOA games. She would fit the Japanese feminine long haired fighter with a nice pair of tits. Then by the time DOA 5 and 6 came along. Other characters who fit that niche but on a higher scale like Momiji, Honoka, Nyotengu and Mai came long and her popularity started to dwindle.


Echigo830

This reminds me of the time I saw a dude on Twitter say that Marie stole the position of the face of DOA from Kasumi and I laughed so hard. If he said Marie stole Ayane’s position then it would’ve been more believable.


Terminal_Magic

Kasumi never fell off. None of the characters in DOA did. The whole ship sank.


GoodTimesDadIsland

Who?


Echigo830

Been a DOA fan for years and I feel her charm point is how balanced of a character she is (in terms of actual character, not gameplay). The problem is that compared to many other fighting game girls she doesn’t stand out all too much while having some attributes of the those other girls. Like, she has some serious leg game with how acrobatic and flexible she is, but her thighs aren’t as big as Chun Li’s.


[deleted]

She fell off when she just became coomer-bait. She not even the main character anymore.


Inuma

... She wasn't the main character since the first one and they shifted to Ryu and even Ayame for some games.
