If you don't care about playing on xbone or PS4 pick up an older console generation stick

Be aware, the first gen TE's didn't work with most PC's. I had to buy a separate PCIe USB card for it to work.

360 ones totally worked due to native support, the PS3 ones had issues IIRC.

They're both dope sticks so I'd get whichever you think looks coolest. Panthera is probably a lot easier to mod, but I like my obsidian cause it doesn't look goofy as poo poo stock.

Input lag is good on both?
Im upgrading from a chun li te2 so anything better than terrible is good as far as im concerned

Input delay on both is good. The panthera has a firmware update to lower the input delay, though. I modded my panthera a bunch and I like hiding snacks in it.

If you don't plan on modding your stick much, get the obsidian.

Dolphins generally lose to Bull Bash, but 6P is a good response to Raven's IAD.

Exciting DOA news from NEC: DOA is officially going on indefinite hiatus, with no plans for DOA6. At least they can admit it, unlike Sega.

So what's this about Dead or Alive being totally killed off at NEC just now? are Tecmo-Koei really doing that or was it more them just leaving DOA 5 alone now?

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

That was all a big bummer. I went in expecting a doa6 trailer and instead its basically people saying their goodbyes, and the Tecmo USA guy in tears on the stage.

I know not many people really liked DoA but it always held a special place in my heart so this is a bummer to me.

From what I've heard, the USA and JP teams were constantly fighting over whether to push DOA as a tournament game or not and whether or not the fanservice, obscene amount of DLC, etc was helping or hurting the game's chances of success, so I guess it's easy to just shelve it instead of picking a direction one way or the other.

That seemed to mirror a war between the competitive players and casual ones. To which the competitive players wanted to minimize the fanservice while casual players wanted to turn it up to an 11.

Pro is an amazing name!
A couple of years ago, I went to a weekly gaming night, where locals go to play Magic and assorted fighting games. All they had there was Smash, DoA, and MK. I asked one of the dudes there if that's all they played, he responded with "We don't play that Capcom poo poo here. What's your problem with Dead Or Alive, you don't like the gameplay, or you don't like the.... uh, certain aesthetics of the game?" in the skeeviest way possible, while trying to imply I was the prude.

His card sleeves had naked anime girls on them.

This is my story about Dead Or Alive, thank you for listening.

As someone in discord said, it's likely due to representation of characters. The only 2D game that has a female player ratio as close to as DOA is Skullgirls.

King of Fighters has a lot of female characters and most of them aren't extremely male gazey in the way a Street Fighter is.
