Ranking The Dead or Alive Waifus From Hot To Scoville-Breaking Smokin’

Fighting game ladies; perhaps one of video games’ most divided contribution to the medium since microtransactions. On one hand, they’re cool and confident females capable of kicking ass with the best of them. On the other, their dress sense leaves a lot to be desired. It’s hard to take them seriously most of the time if th...
