Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate General Discussion

[Argentus]

NO ! ^_^
I always choose the biggest lifebars in fighting games. Don't why....

I do the same, so that the fights won't end in just one or two good (or just lucky) combos.

Well they could create two separate life bars size for Single and Tag ranked in this case. I want say, the "physic" of the game is already different between the two modes, so what is the problem with a different life bar?

Anwyay I'm the only one to find cool long fights? XD

No, I'm the same. If the fights only gonna last 10 seconds or so due to TINY TINY health bars, then I don't see the point of sitting through all the menus waiting for it. The load times should not be longer the the rounds!

Rice Pais, I completely forgot about tag mode lol

I always forget about it...

but their focus is just mainly on Tag this time around

Ewwww......

On the one hand, yes, bigger health bars are better for tag since you can just decimate health with tag combos and juggles.

On the other hand, "Focusing on Tag"? Dear god, WHY?! That's like hearing that the next mariokart will be designed with "battle mode" in mind. That's a whole separate gameplay, and that's supposed to be the optional side thing, don't make THAT the focus when designing the mechanics! Or at least have the two have entirely different settings and mechanics! Like in Mass Effect 3, they didn't change the mechanics in the Story (The Main part of the game) when they adjusted things for the multiplayer.

For the record, I'm all for bigger healthbars, because more fight is more fun, but I'm just disgusted at the idea of focusing on Tag instead of the regular fights. This ain't MvC or TTT, TN!

I thought as much. I just loathe the fact they're trying to go more into DoA4's direction this time and it hasn't occurred to me until now. Granted that 5U won't be an EXACT replica of DoA4. Just knowing they want to adjust the gameplay to make it even more random (as 4 was the very definition of random) than it is now, I see it as one big sour note for this game. If my experiences here turns out to be as bad as it was in DoA4, I don't see myself playing very long.

Where are people getting this "300 life bar", "everyone nerfed", "holds being stronger" and "doa4 gameplay" info from¿

they never said that... anywhere ..
the core mechanics will not change from 5
do not over-speculate people

the only drastic thing you will see is a better balance to tag.

I welcome the changes that you see for the characters, be it nerfs or buffs .. It is a new game after all and I am looking forward to relearning the cast again.
Nobody has the full changes to the cast and the changes are NOT yet final. so crying over lost tools is pointless.
Not to mention that there are NEW tools that are in play:
1) flop stuns .. we still know nothing about their potential apart from the fact that the follow up is guaranteed
2) power launchers ... and their impact on a stage with a ceiling

They have done nothing but deliver as of late.
They're still doing their tweaks here and there, which is a great thing considering they never had that luxury in DOA5. and This will also hopefully ensure a bug free game, unlike DOA5.

people need to relax and stop ranting over things that may not be worth ranting over ..

would it make a difference if the health were 300 but they increased the damage output of the character tools ? Exactly... no1 knows ANYTHING yet. just little tidbits that may not even be final.

Ein has an OH.

also they are adding Tengu

Wait what? Are you sure you didn't read that wrong? I'm pretty sure the roster was said to be final.

Yeah, I don't know where people get that from. Where are they talking about Tengu in the article ?

How many times did he say "fuck" and "hell" exactly?

 

[Zeo]

What makes this annoying is that he probably bought UMVC3 and/or SSF4 AE.

 

[TRI Mike]

I actually find it funny.​

Fuckin scrub ass casual lmao.

He complains about him getting blowed up, and unresponsive controls, and then says, "its not because its hard"..... Scrub mentality.

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

That was some pretty obvious trolling from Russian, guys. I doubt he even intended for anyone to believe that.

 

[phoenix1985gr]

Well with everything i ve been reading (i know its still early so still hoping) this game seem worse and worse with every change they announce... Waiting now for their next one to be wake up kicks from walls again, and sitdown stuns not holdable gone...

He's also apparently helping balance the game. And is apparently a famous korean player.
