Yeah they did require unique juggles. Unique being a characters basic string. Like Hayate majority of the time the best he could do is PP6PK. Get "a lot" of air then you could do PPP 7K

Yeah. They were so heavy that most of the cast needed to do something else for them. The juggles were shorter, so less damage, but, I found that they were easier to set up force techs against, but maybe that's just me.
I occasionally press random on training so I can practice my B-Man combos on all weights. Quite frankly, his 
in air pushes Mid-Weight characters further than the roll and guaranteed throw can go, and even further on light weights. But it is close enough to do a forced tech attack, then possibly a throw (If he/she's a holder).

It was done for balancing purposes. The weight class for all of the characters in DOA5 was done with balancing in mind, not realism. It's the same reason why Akuma has a glass jaw in Street Fighter.

Right, because Eliot being in the lightest weightclass is such amazing balancing.

Hmm this puzzles me. Using Lisa I can get juggles I've discovered for Feathers on Mila and Sarah with ease but they never land on the other Feathers in this class (Hitomi, Eliot and Kokoro, I have to use Light juggles on them.) There are extremely minor differences between Cruiser (Helena) and Heavy (Gen Fu) as is the same with Light and Welter.
When using Lisa it seems to go more like this;
Feather: Mila, Sarah
Light: Kasumi, Ayane, Hitomi, Kokoro, Eliot, Alpha-152
Welter: Leifang, Pai
Mid: Hayate, Ryu, Christie, Tina, Brad, Jann Lee, Rig, Zack, Akira
Cruiser: Helena
Heavy: Gen Fu
Super Heavy: Bass, Bayman
I think hitboxes also play a massive part too, each character has a different one and I'm sure this can lead to minor juggle differences...

It sure does, at least I can say in Sarah's defense. There is about two situations in which a juggle has to have a certain stance.

It is amazing that different weight classes has existed in every DOA game just like different health statistics exist in street fighter in EVERY game. I will have to remember to learn combos for every single character depending on their weight class and make sure I memorize them like I did in previous games. I remember the lighter ethe better the combo I can get on them and I would always take advantage of this.

Hun...considering that each character has a different hitbox, the launch height is based on what? its just the height between the ground and the closest hitbox or there's a common point among the characters that defines the launch height? o.o
But thanks, this info is really useful,

The same combo was used. I launched each character from the same point in a sit down stun at full threshold. The launch height in meters does Not matter as that is the variable on each launcher used and point of threshold. However, It's the difference between each character's launch height that is determining the weight class.

Ah, got it, I confess I was more interested on the hitbox and the point of the impact of the launcher/hit... but it seems, from a sit down stun every character has the same hitbox, thats why you did this test under those conditions.
Despite being part of the variants, I'm just curious about the point of the impact on the characters hitboxes, spacing, to be precise, but it has nothing to do with this topic, I think.

Hitbox does play a part but from my findings its very minor. For the record the combo I used worked on Fu and Bass but not Bayman and yes this was tested in both stances too.
