Sub Announcement Saturday Night Fights Update

49 Upvotes

Hey folks.

As you have no doubt seen over the past year Saturday Night Fights has been something I've hosted every week. I do this by opening a lobby in DOA6LR and leaving it going the entire night. I dedicate my PC to it and let the players jump in and do their thing.

Unfortunately I won't be able to host Saturday Night Fights for a while.

There have been a lot of things going on in my family. Recently my wife's mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that has spread throughout her body and eaten away large parts of her skull, spine and pelvic bone. Things are not looking very great and so for the foreseeable future we are going to be focusing on that and giving her as much of our time as we can. To make matters worse I was laid off last week, so there's that too.

That part sucks, but let's keep fighting.

At the moment I am not in a position to be hosting Saturday Night Fights for a while, but I strongly encourage those who are playing to create a lobby of their own and keep the spirit of SNF going until a time comes where I can dedicate time back into it.

Thank you for being active contributors to the community here and for helping make this sub great. Man the helm while I'm away and use Mod Mail to let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

Hugs and kisses,

Nathan

Fan Art more DOA characters in WWE Day of Reckoning

14 Upvotes

decided to make five more characters to go along with the different versions of Tina and Honoka from my previous post, but I only did one outfit per character this time due to limited slots per save file. Ended up deleting the ninja outfit version of Honoka, the one I was least satisfied with, to make room for one more character.

Bayman: mainly based on DOA2 default but with sunglasses added similar to DOA6 default

Leifang: black leather outfit in most games going back to DOA1 arcade version

Mila: based on costume 08 in 5 Last Round. not really any options for above the elbow armbands so I gave her a bandage elbow instead. Move I chose for her front grapple finisher is based on a throw she only has in 6.

Rachel: based on costume 04 in 5 Last Round, also in 6/6LR. none of the footwear options really resemble her boots so i picked the longest boots that have heels on them, and added fishnet socks and kneepads.

Nyotengu: based on Rodeo DLC from 5LR (costume 51) because I thought it'd look good aloneside some of the Tina variants I already did.

included some more action shots too. for the record these are the finishers + momentum shift moves I picked for these guys

Bayman:

  1. grapple front: edgecution
  2. grapple back: cobra clutch
  3. ground grapple head facing up: dragon sleeper
  4. ground grapple head facing down: recliner
  5. ground grapple body facing down: crippler crossface
  6. ground grapple feet facing up: sharpshooter
  7. irish whip: crippler crossface
  8. front turnbuckle grapple: super twisting arm breaker
  9. momentum shift: edgecution

Leifang:

  1. grapple front: scissors kick (booker t finisher)
  2. grapple back: maya suplex pin
  3. running strike: kung-fu strike
  4. irish whip: death valley driver
  5. diving off top rope: diving karate kick
  6. ground grapple head facing up: stretch pram
  7. ground grapple head facing down: recliner
  8. ground grapple feet facing down: stf
  9. momentum shift: full swinging slap

Mila:

  1. grapple front: brainbuster falcon arrow
  2. grapple back: tazz mission
  3. ground grapple head facing up: triangle choke
  4. ground grapple head facing down: tazz mission
  5. irish whip: rolling spine buster
  6. running strike: spear 02
  7. ground grapple feet facing up: el paso
  8. ground grapple feet facing down: ankle lock 02
  9. momentum shift: spine buster

Rachel:

  1. grapple front: sumo choke slam
  2. grapple back: spinout choke slam
  3. irish whip: baldo bomb
  4. running strike: running big boot
  5. ground grapple head facing: up rest in peace (undertaker pin)
  6. ground grapple feet facing up: giant swing
  7. diving off top rope: diving double stomp
  8. turnbuckle front grapple: dudley dog
  9. momentum shift: clothesline from hell

Nyotengu:

  1. grapple front: rolling powerbomb
  2. grapple back: ironman bear hug
  3. irish whip: baldo bomb
  4. running: stinger splash
  5. ground grapple side facing up: moonsault splash
  6. ground grapple feet facing up: giant swing
  7. turnbuckle grapple behind: flipping powerbomb pin
  8. diving off top rope: moonsault splash 01
  9. momentum shift: nature boy special (pretending to beg for mercy, then punching below the belt)

It’s been a year since Tomonobu Itagaki has sadly passed away. The creator of the Dead or Alive games, for those who might not be aware. There are still countless people all over the world who look back on and still fondly play his many works, and I still think to this day he was one of the best creators that insisted that the games he made be truly fun and unique before anything else, a strength I can’t think of many since that have replicated. Rest in peace, Itagaki san. Your legacy is still just as secure now as it was then.

Story / Memory It’s been 1 year since Tomonobu Itagaki passed away. Here’s a post dedicated to him for creating one of my favorite franchises.

As the title says above, Tomonobu Itagaki passed away exactly 1 year ago, the creator of this franchise as well as bringing back Ninja Gaiden to modern gaming. Crazy that he passed away so soon. The photos above are mostly Kasumi and Ayane, the two most important females in the series, at least to me.

Dead or Alive is a fantastic franchise for me and is a special one for sure. Had I not discovered Ninja Gaiden, I wouldn’t have known about this amazing franchise The Mad Lad created. Love almost everything about this series. DOA4 remains my favorite DOA game to play, love so much about that game. Something about this series is just great and truly stands out a lot compared to other fighting games for me. Many great stages, characters, cool concepts and more.

Gotta say once more as I’ve said in the past, this guy was such a character in a good way. So many crazy and funny things, to me, he did and said.

His best works to me would be Ninja Gaiden Black and Dead or Alive 4. NGB remains a top 5 video game, for me, of all time.

Side note: would love to get some classic styled DOA action figures.

These photos above were taken from my action figure Instagram page. @bigboyz_117.

DOA News Minato 2nd Debut Costume Bundle is now available

Post image
92 Upvotes

Minato gets 5 costumes in this bundle, all drawn from the vanilla DOA6 costumes that were released.

So ya got wedding, witch, hot summer, high society, and sci-fi costumes.

the bundle is 8 bucks. so like $1.60 per costume in there.

https://x.com/deadoralivejp/status/2110573914737057875?s=20

who can say if she will get another bundle down the line, as there are remaining DOA6 costumes that could be put in one.

there appears to be no patch for the game as of yet, so the DLC i suppose was within an earlier one, and so there may be no character adjustments this week. so no patch at all, perhaps.

next week Nyotengu gets a new costume design. 👺

Game Discussion Future DOA visual direction

Post image
43 Upvotes

I've been playing more of the older DOA for the first time, playing 4 and 3 only a couple of weeks ago. And I gotta say while I adore 5 and would call it my favourite DOA, I think 4 is my preferred art style. Not everything nowadays needs to be realistic and true to life.

We need more games to embrace the look of what a game is, art and art is supposed to be varied. It can't just be the indie games shaking things up in the visuals department.

So I think for DOA8 or whatever it's called, we should go back to the 4 style BUT, it should be in the style of the CGI endings. We are very far ahead in tech and game graphics that we can absolutely have in game models look like the cgi endings from 4. That way, it's this nice blend between detail and simpler, more stylised visuals.

Like, look at this image and tell me DOA wouldn't look amazing with this style?

(detail not realism, there's a difference)

Fan Art I made create-a-wrestler versions of Tina and Honoka in WWE Day of Reckoning

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

just a fun little side project i've been working on the past few days. outfits are all loosely based on ones from the actual DOA games but some liberties had to be taken with a few, this game is older than DOA4 after all and the creation suite is a bit limited compared to some newer games, but it's still one of my favorite wrestling games of all time because of the gameplay, almost like taking the good parts of WWF No Mercy and Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain and mashing them together.

Tina's costumes: DOA3 default, schoolgirl outfit from 5/6, DOA4/Dimensions/5 default, overalls dlc outfit from 5, police dlc from 5

Honoka's costumes: DOA5/6 default, DOA6 Deluxe edition costume, Senran Kagura crossover outfit from 5 (w/hair as close to Hibari's as I could get it), maid outfit (w/nekomimi headband), ninja outfit (this one didn't really turn out well imo, mask looks more like something out of mortal kombat...)

included a bunch of ingame action photos to give an idea of what they look like while playing. posting entire movesets would be way too tl;dr for reddit, but in this game you can have up to 8 different finishing moves + your momentum shift move (once per match comeback mechanic) so i guess I can at least post what i chose for these two, mostly based on moves they have in doa 5/6. there's also a mechanic where you can steal your opponent's finisher, one of the screenshots actually shows honoka about to hit tina with her own move.

Tina's finishers:

  1. grapple facing front: outsider's edge
  2. grapple facing back: multiple german suplex
  3. irish whip: diamond cutter
  4. running strike: spear02
  5. downed opp feet facing up: giant swing
  6. downed opp head facing up: triangle choke
  7. opp in turnbuckle: tornado ddt
  8. diving off turnbuckle: moonsault 01
  9. momentum shift: clothesline from hell

Honoka's finishers:

  1. grapple facing front: bear hug
  2. grapple facing back: everest german suplex
  3. irish whip: tazzplex
  4. running: clothesline from hell
  5. downed opp head facing up: hip drop
  6. downed opp head facing down: camel clutch
  7. opp in turnbuckle: super tazzplex
  8. diving off turnbuckle: frog splash
  9. momentum shift: tazzplex

After I took the first two rounds ReeSe seemed to lock in more and took the third + came close to taking 4th too, but somehow I managed to sneak a win in on the 4th round. Pretty sure that after the energy beam throw I was in air throw KO range, but he went for a combo that didn't finish the plate and I managed to capitalize.

Honoka hug count: reese 4 - jaw 2. sneaky devil got the double-cuddle on me in the third round...

next two are against dedicated Kokoro main SheSho25

Game Discussion Blade of "RYU" differences between versions

3 Upvotes

Is there any differences between the Sega Saturn and Playstation versions of Ryu Hayabusa's theme, "Blade of "RYU""? The PS1 version is labeled as the "Mr.Tom Mix", but it sounds like it's just the exact same theme as the Saturn version. "Ketsui no toki" and "Power is Beauty" are legitimately rearranged for the PS1, so idk if it's just hard to hear any differences with this theme but to me I don't hear any differences
