“Me: learning combos. Opponent: hits 32 hit combo I’ve never seen before”
“If you are a fan of Dead or Alive series, this isn't the best game released. DOA5LR is the preferred game over this. The meter system and the new break system makes this fun game kind of cheap. For a 3D fighter, or even…”

“Less jiggly but still very fun DOA game, should you have an Xbox I do recommend just gettng 2U or 4 on there.”
