Ayane could kill genra before 'Busa got the chance.
Like I said before, Ayane could have taken him out during their bout.
Oh. What happened to it? I'd die if I lost one of my DOA games lol.
It was large explosion. A dust cloud may be thrown up for the duration of the fight. Also, Itagaki may just be dumb.
I must say Emperor Ashtar I consider you one of the more sensible posters on this forum. I realize that you wouldn't bring something like this up if you didn't have reason to actually doubt it. However, you must understand why Hayabusa losing simply had to occur for the story to actually progress.
I ask you to bear with me as I go through this. As with any other DOA game, the character who defeated the boss has the canon storymode. For example, we know Hayabusa defeated Kasumi and Hayate in DOA2 because he had to before confronting Tengu. The story mode of any character who didn't make it to the boss are canonical up to the point of their defeat. Examples of this include: Gen Fu didn't win DOA3 because he lost to Zack; Ayane didn't fight Hayate in DOA2 because she lost to Kasumi; Kasumi didn't fight Hayate in DOA2 because she lost Hayabusa.
Now we all already acknowledged that Ayane defeated Genra. In true DOA fashion, she has the canon storymode. She faced Kasumi and Hayate prior to confronting her father. Obviously, Kasumi and Hayate were bodily present for their matches against their sister. Again in true DOA fashion, Kasumi's story ends after she lost to Ayane, so Kasumi never fought Hayate in DOA3. Hayate's story also ends after he lost to Ayane. Thusly, Hayate never encounters Genra. However, being that Hayate made it to Ayane, he beat Hayabusa. Hayabusa is Hayate's second bout and a defeat there would mean he wouldn't fight Ayane as is always true of DOA. Also, if Hayabusa did beat Hayate, he would encounter Genra as Hayabusa's story mode demonstrated. Ayane also couldn't defeat Genra during Hayate vs Hayabusa because she fought Hayate herself before Genra.
Emperor Ashtar, your points did make me think a little. I understood your doubt and I even went and played through storymode on several different DOA games to try and apply what you said. Despite my efforts, I keep finding the same thing true. The only possible way that Ayane defeated Genra was to beat Hayate after he beat Hayabusa. It really is the only way that the storymodes sync together to allow Ayane to defeat Genra.
