I love Kasumi, but Tina was the first one I thought of. Specifically, her in the catsuit in DOA2

DOA2 came to Dreamcast 26 years ago

A seminal classic, and one of the canon DC titles, DOA2 retains the Defense-Heavy gameplay and expands upon the formula by adding Free 8-Way Movement - the Danger Zone mechanic has been removed, but replaced with Environmental Interactions, and stage transitions!

Sonic got me on the internet, JSR still affects my style and music tastes, MML on how to craft a world and characters, FFVII still has me obsessed, Kirby got me making comics, HL got me into fancommunities, DMC3 was my bisexual awakening, DoA2 into fighting games, and MGS turned me into a pervert

I've always wanted to get into DOA ever since I got DOA2 Hardcore in the early 2000s, but my friends wouldn't play with me. I never had an Xbox console, so I couldn't play the succeeding DOA games either.

Now I'm messing around with DOA 5 Last Round. Just casually, though.🥵

I’ve played 7 of those 9 games. I played more of DOA2 Hardcore for the PS2. First PS2 game I bought and owned. I picked it over Tekken Tag Tournament and I’m more of a Tekken fan than DOA.

Hello you all! We held today the "Retro 3d City BRawl" tournament with DOA2 (DC) and SoulCal II (GC).

A lot of fun! Tourneys dragged a bit because we had a power outage but we manage to finish them both!

Please enjoy! We had A LOT of fun!

playing DOA2 just to feel something 😞

Virtua Fighter 4 (2003)

So this is when Sarah starts looking like Samus Metroid. I like how buff she is here. This is also the 1st VF since Tekken 3 & DOA2 and it shows. Everyone was upping the ante. It's like competition is healthy or something

DOA2 still holding up 26 years later fills my heart with immense joy
September 17, 2026 at 12:44 PM
I must have been thinking of the really scuff PS2 Japan launch version which might be unfinished? Kasumi straight up has the wrong pony tail, the lighting seems unfinished too? Really interesting
September 17, 2026 at 5:25 AM
I'm still able to have fun with it despite its many problems, but seriously, how does it feel this unfinished? The grinding for player points and costume parts doesn't help.

My faith in DOA7 being anything remotely close to DOA2-DOA5 is so low given everything I see with DOA6LR.

ok not DoA1, but DoA2 was ported first to DC then to playstation a few months later.

file that away for obscure trivia night

DOA2 Hardcore will be the next PS2 playthrough once Ridge Racer V is done (still got offstream grinding to do) and I think I'll give it's "play elsewhere" judgement a fair due, I think I was harsh because while it is a worse looking version than Dreamcast, it's minor enough most wouldn't notice/care

Will note, Nyotengu who was a DLC character in DOA5U, her design did blend in well, especially if you remember Tengu (Bankotsubo) who was in DOA2, DOA4, and DOAD.
September 13, 2026 at 1:14 AM
They do this a lot with better reasons, like Leon and Bayman being a Ryu/Ken thing, Helena and Hitomi being introduced as moveset clones for characters that don't return (the female Spartan and Ein) and even Phase-4 is based on DoA1/DoA2's version of Kasumi and her current moveset is different

My uncle had a Dreamcast before I did, I would play the heck out of the demo disc and replay the intro of Sonic adventure Emerald Coast and DOA2 over and over in awe, it was soo cool.
I was so happy when I finally got my hands on the full games.
'Sonic Adventure' was released on the SEGA Dreamcast 27 years ago today in the US.

ゲームの同一性保持権の侵害が争われた事例についてがテキストに載ってたからときメモ事件、三國志Ⅲ事件、DOA2事件について調べてたんだけどケースバイケースすぎる。というか改造ROMみたいなセーブデータやメモリーカードの販売とか配布がされてた時代が2000年前後くらいまであったんだ…知らんかった…
