Tried to use Helena, but I guess there are just some characters you can't mesh with. Ah well, I still love to see good Helena players use the White woman blender in the most elegant and graceful way possible.
Same lol. I dont have the mindset to use Christie, just not a rush down player

I guess with Helena, I was too focused on trying to use her windmill attacks, as I call them. I also didn't really know how to do follow ups from her Bokuho stance. Now Christie, she's just PPPPPP with some P+K sidesteps thrown in for good measure. Lol

I just hope that bitch is buried under all that rubble and one if the ninjas didn't save her ass at the last minute. #KillLisa

And then in a twist of fate it was actually Gen Fu disguised as Lisa and he dies!!!

Lol yeah I'm trying to relearn Mila after not playing for months only forcing my self to rush down and use feints more.

Its not how I play so its throwing me off big time. Thank god she's versatile.

Changing subjects a little bit, but I was asked recently what characters I like to use and why, and I'm actually asked this question quite a bit. The fact is, there's no clear-and-cut "I like this" system to the characters I enjoy and choose to play.

There are trends, sure. Generally speaking I like heavy hitters. I prefer fewer hits that hit much harder than having to land a bunch of tiny "easy" hits. This can be summarized as: "High-risk, high reward." This is especially the case if the move feels iconic in some way, so that my opponent goes "Oh God, he got me."

Inevitably, this applies to throws and grapples. I love combo throws. So in general, I do like grapplers. But, I don't like all grapplers better than strikers (especially if you're one of those loons who only considers the i4 5T characters as grapplers).

So anyway, I thought I'd grade all the characters on a 1 to 5 scale of how much I enjoy playing them. This is not how much I enjoy fighting the character, nor how balanced I think they are or easy/difficult to use. This is just personally who I have fun using. So don't get offended if your character isn't scored very high. That doesn't mean I hate your character, it just means that (s)he is not a good fit for me, at least yet.

I didn't think this topic worthy of a brand new thread, so I figured I'd just post it here, as it is a more casual discussion given that I would only ever play half of these characters casually. Without further adieu, enjoy.

Akira - 4

So basically, I find most characters middle-of-the-road.

Is there even a reason why Jann Lee should re-enter when he is already the winner of the 5th tournament?

Seeing Hayate being canonically beaten by the jailbait would be hilarious.
To fight Rig? I thought that was one of his motivations during the tournament if I remember correctly.

This. JL, Marie and Hayate join because Rig makes his entry in DOA6 known: Jann Lee for revenge, Marie as an agent of Helena's, and Hayate for the ninja. Marie ends up bracketed against Hayate and beats his ass.

I wouldn't be surprised if none of the post-Vanilla DOA5 characters factor into DOA6's eventual story at all.
