Someone give me Cow's twitter.
Team Ninja, who are you guys listening to with these "taking steps back" methods because it sure as heck isn't us. *Itagaki must be apart of this act.....
We were fine and excited for the longer hold periods that were introduced, shortening them will only revive our previous issues with DOA4's hold system.
We need some in-depth Akira play because out of all the characters, I'm worried about the guy because his properties continue to change "for the worst" with seldom lab test sessions it seems. And Sarah should "NOT" be nerfed in any shape of form, just buff up those who need it like Dr Dogg said.
There's still hope because small tweaks can be made here n there with little effort, we'll have to just wait and see if they'll be able to in this short period of time. But until I play it, I can't fully judge what's on paper.
The only people I've seen with damaging counters are those who rely on counters for part of the gameplay IE. Bayman, Leifang, and Hayabusa. Everyone else's counters are pretty toned down. I don't think Sarah(or any VF character) really needs a buff, compared to some of the DOA characters :/I disagree with the bold section. I was playing Sarah at the San Mateo tournament & her reversal holds SUCKED! Even if I do a counter reversal hold, the same amount of damage was still be conflicted.. Im sorry but she needs to be more powerful.. It would be only fair because all the other characters' reversals takes twice as much as Sarah's... Im just saying...

I understand that lol I can't wait to see more VF action from you or anyone good in general. I really wish a really good Akira would come out of the wood works now that I've seen Sarah Bryant in action. You did really good with her. Well, to me it seemed really good, I honestly have no idea how any of the VF characters will play other than some vids I've seen. Also, just wondering, I noticed in the beginning of the stream they had a guy showing some Sarah action through a camera and it looked like Sarah was DESTROYING wake up kicks. What move is obliterating wake up kicks from her?Well yeah that's a good point... I guess maybe since she is going to be my main I wanted her to be the best! But what I WILL say is that her counter reversal holds should be buffed up just a little bit! That's it & she will be perfect! =]

Oh I know right!? lol I was hoping for a huge upset with August being like a kid who does nothing but play Akira. Oh well I thought it would have been pretty funny to see a kid beat Kayane, it would have been funny and ironic considering she is known for winning a tourny as really young player.Yeah but I would have did a lot better with Sarah if I had a chance to practice with her like some of the others but im not complaining. I made it to 4th place without any practice soo thats good. Yessss! I noticed A LOT of moves I could have done with her.. But to answer your question, that move was the . I should have took advantage of that move but I didn't.. =[ Also, haha I talk a lot but Akira, YES it would have been good to see a good Akira player.. Smh I thought August (the young Akira player at the San Mateo tourney) was about to show us something new... Haha

Well at least you'll(hopefully) remember next time to use that P+K
I honestly don't know who my main will be. Everyone looks really fun this time around.Haha yeah such irony.. Well the next tourney I will be at is after the game is officially launched so I would have some actual experience with Sarah! Ahhhh I cant wait!
Heyyy who will be your main in DOA5?

You missed understood what I said. I stated that other characters should be buffed instead of Sarah being nerfed. Meaning since Sarah has been weakened as of late, they should buff her back up to her E3 form, then buff the cast to her standards instead of nerfing her instead.
I've been stating in other threads that VF characters damage output is less than the DOA cast which should be the other way around or at the least identical. Trust me bro, I fully agree with you, my wordings may have been a bit puzzling, but I concur 100%.
BierKlauMeister said:COW got a question for you, Sarahs sit down stuns which can only be achieved on counter hit... can they also be achieved in Critical Status (opponent is already stunned)???. Or are they really Counter Hit ONLY?
Thanks, have a nice tournament

I dont know what im talking about
Allan Paris said:Sarah does not need to be buffed. When was she weakended? If something was taken away from her to make her "weak" I can't tell. I suggest you go look at the IPL matches again and read the write up on her. Her holds being "weak" is fair, her and Akria pick up frame advantage and or are left at neutral from their moves. That means it will be difficult to punish them and they can legitimately and consistantly keep an offensive pressure. No doa character is doing that to Sarah or Akria's extent.
Indeed.
Re-read my first paragraph, sit, let it marinate, and know that you are maiming a character that will be in a class along with Akria; that other doa character will be in. Some characters can hang with them but for damn sure not match what they can do.
Played against Akria last night. He hit me 4 times on CH and I died. That needs to be buffed? Sarah, just as fast as Kasumi and she's way safer, and her damage is nothing you want to get involved with. That needs buffs? The VF or at least Sarah's hold damage is well balanced.
