Honestly nothing else can compete, especially Bushido Blade 2 which could have been so much better had it just kept the control style of the first game.

The overhead chop is ridiculously easy to spam. It's faster to do two of them than for some faggot to dodge and do another attack.

Bullshit. I like VF2 but it's the kind of game you play alone against the computer. It's way too simple to take seriously. Trying to compare VF2 to VF4 or 5 is like comparing a tricycle to a Lamborghini.

Yes and no. It was originally meant as a copycat version of it with sexy women. As VF evolved though, DoA became more about being a VF clone that any idiot could play with the added bonus of a shitty "nope" mechanic that significantly lessened the likelihood of one-sided battles.
That said DoA5 LR is the best game in the series and is also the one that resembles VF closest. Also it was codeveloped by the team that made VF and has VF characters in it. It's similar to VF on the surface but it's actually harder to play and has a higher skill ceiling because of certain elements that make it a completely different game from VF.

Gotta say, I appreciate depth but those meth'd out inputs are murder on the hands. Actually seeing why Tekken managed to survive.

They dumbed down the combat considerably, which is a shame because it has a shit load more martial arts weapons.
I'd say it's 6/10 unless you played Bushido Blade and loved it, then it's a letdown 3/10 at best.

You keep saying this but it's not. Between the fact that each player can choose their weapon and player, the existence of running, jumping, climbing, and so on, the varied terrain, and even tricks like sand in the eye, throwing weapons, and so on you have a complete fighting game executed with incredible class and grace, and that's a good thing.
There are some minor niggles. New players will think the whole game is unfair if you just unleash hell's fatal fury on them. Oldfags will discover some very effective technique / weapon combo but even these can be dealt with.
In the case of 'overhead smash' you can easily jump back repeatedly then run. It's not a game changer at all to a skilled player.
I don't believe there is any fatal move / combo which can guarantee victory like Guile with SF2, but there are some pretty good openings. Running and stabbing with the katana as soon as the match starts will work 95% of the time until your opponent figures out what the hell is going on.
Stay salty. This game does it all without any fancy bouncing tits, fireballs, cutesy bouncy catchphrases, it's just straight up kino.

Not only was it like a VF2 clone at first, but Sega AM2 helped out Itagaki and the DoA crew a lot during the development of the first game and even let them use Sega's Model2 arcade board. That's also a big reason why there were guest characters from VF and cooperation between them when DoA5 was being developed. AM2 and Team Ninja were always on very friendly terms.

What happens when you come back or I catch up? Oh yeah, you die. You assert repeatedly that I haven't played the game, but I sure did. I played it to death and the broadword was pretty much banned among my friends because of how cheesy it was.

Have you never seen a high score lunatic run of any Touhou game? There is definitely some depth when it comes to getting a high score. If it being "shallow" is a problem, then early shooting games wouldn't be real shooting games because they lack depth. Also MK3 definitely has some depth to it while the earlier games were definitely silly and casual. However they were still fighters.
