Rly?

We want him to be playable ninja in Naruto Online.

I would take any alternative ninja over Dosu!

mwahahha

Do you actually have any reasoning to these claims, or is this just being said to get me riled up?

(And for clarity, he only beat Zaku.)

Zaku wasn't the strongest. Zaku had more destructive power, no doubt. But Dosu was smarter, more tactical, knew how to keep his ego in check (and I have to argue that him taking on Gaara was an out of character moment not like what he would do) and had a pretty hax ability in of itself.

You say that, yet Dosu was able to beat Lee, who completely curbstomped Sasuke.

Also, it's unfair to compare Dosu to later villains such as Pain and Obito mainly because they weren't relevant at the time. Remember, these are the days where the Hokage and maybe the Sannin are the most powerful ninja we know. In context, compared to the other applicants, Dosu had potential to be great. Hell, Sasuke even said that Dosu was one of the "elite" applicants, along with Neji, Lee, and Gaara!

And in this context, does making physical objects explode with SOUND ALONE not sound hax? That has to be some pretty high-powered sound. To quote a guy on Reddit:

"Later application of sound based attacks are the multiple cases of audio genjutsu and a few anime only orochimaru jutsus and that one sage jutsu kabuto used that used sound to paralyze itachi and sasuke. the audio genjutsu's are so strong they incapacitate s rank shinobi like paths of pein, itachi and sasuke. If sound works the same way it does in the narutoverse as it does in our world (which i have no reason to assume it doesnt) can be used in extremely effective ways, here's a quote regarding the launch of the Saturn V " The launch of a Saturn V rocket, for example, produces around 220 decibels, which ignites grass a mile away with the sound alone. The launch pad has to dump 900,000 gallons of water a minute below the rocket for absorption or the reflected sound waves would rip the rocket apart" and only 200 decibels is the threshold for death, so in the 200's dosu can start *ing stuff up,setting things on fire, killing people instantly etc.

If dosu lived long enough and managed to escape being killed by orochimaru or gaara i think he would go on to easily be A to S rank level, all depending on how strong he can make his control over sound, if he can get to the 200's he's s rank, if he's stuck only at eardrum bursting level (150 or so) he is B-A rank, anything higher than the 200's and he starts getting absurd and i don't think he could."

Think about it.

In the context of the game, if 200 decibels of sound is enough to kill someone then surely a ball of energy made out of wind chakra can surely cut a hole into someone as well? Yet this doesn't happen as the ninjas in the show are clearly stronger and more durable than the average person in the real world.

I don't think comparing it to the real world is a very good example. xD

Okay, I unfortunately don't have time to fully reply yet but man, saying "like they should've" really makes you sound like pre-character development Neji.
