BT Grab gets another grab... I think.

If she got all BKO buffs and kept everything the same, I'd be totally fine. - 1 frame crouch off 2P+K stance transition - BKO 6PP faster than her jab (9 or 10) - BKO 6P4PP ends in 0 or + frames on block - A low BKO throw But, that's crazy talk. :p

DOA5 is, by its design, a legitimate tournament-worthy fighter. Biased opinion is biased, but for this to have any showing in EVO, IPL, MLG or what have you, the community needs to treat it like its a tournament-worthy fighter. This means: 1. Going to national tournaments 2. Going to local...

Getting started on a triangle system video... this is gonna be a good one.

Agreed with Mamba too. I would argue that she needed the BKO duck, but never played DOA4 competitively so I have no pretense of the past Helena. I'm fine with low damage/safe or high damage/unsafe, just not low damage/unsafe. :S

Ivy 3B alone makes SC5 offensive. That is spammable as all hell. And this is coming from an Ivy player. Ask any other Ivy player like Link or Ring, and you'll get the same answer. For DOA5, it is... for the lack of a better term, a game that can absolutely mindfuck an opponent. In 90% of the...

This move, single-handedly, proves that + in stance can make a character feared.

Looks extremely good. I can tell a lot of time will be spent simply looking at the awesome info on this wiki. :) I'll just link below if you find a need to use it: It's a Helena basic combos and options video I made. Not good enough to list out everything for her, much less a wiki, since I'm...

That, to me, is the beauty of this game. There is no 'one' defensive option and both offense and defense are constantly playing mindgames on each other. And stagger escape matters a lot -- if you need proof, go to training mode using the character your opponent used and try out some of her...

A critical hold is just that -- a hold done while in a critical stun. It's the same motion as doing a hold regularly. Normally, before you can take any other action while stunned (such as attack for example), you have to shake out/stagger escape. Not the case with holds. The additional risk...

All the tools you listed, I do use and abuse. :) Sucks that we can't play each other right now.... hope to see you at a tournament somewhere maybe?

I don't know, maybe because I'm new to DOA specifically so I'm being hard on myself for this. I see P+K going at least a 3/4ths to a full character's width, I see a good whiff punish. And with Helena being on the slower side of the cast, she'll have trouble landing a CH against players who...

Am I the only one who likes her BKO 4P+K? Ducks highs (and some mids) throughout the animation, she steps back during the charge, has insane range, guard breaks when held 40f or longer and causes a +23 GB -- free 6PP sitdown stun into launcher combo. And I should be using 66KPchargeP more too...

P+K lunges forward as well as crushes highs. Any high whiffed will either result in NH or CH depending on when he/she was hit during the recovery or active frames of said whiffed attack (respectively). Knowing to confirm both NH and CH are equally important.

I disagree. NH happens when you whiff punish someone, which with Helena, happens quite often with her crush and BKO moves.

You should always have guard all as reaction when testing combos. Yes, you should use always counter for testing CH combos. The only difference is I don't leave that on for default, since I stagger my hits anyway to confirm NH or CH. The video only has NH combos (unless it specifically...

I should clarify too -- if and when there is a save file uploaded somewhere that offers the unlock, then I fully agree she should not be banned. My point lies in more that up until that point, we can't expect TOs to take many hours/days to unlock her for ONE console, let alone five or ten.

Its another thing altogether though if unlocking her literally takes a week. Lol. Exaggeration, but you get the point. I agree with the philosophy, but we cant realistically expect that from TOs. Its hard enough to convince them to run doa tournaments considering doa stigma, let alone go...
