They haven't even touched the game and are already asking for nerfs? ......ok
Well thats good thats been clarified... I seriously thought he had only one that parries both highs and mids from watching the streams the other day and i thought it might be a bit too much...
Just out of curiosity assuming lei fang still got her parries from neutral how much advantage does she get? Anything guarranteed? Or hitomi from her punch parries
I think so, its just that eliot is the only one that can get a free launcher off of em and more damage than the other parry charactersdidnt they say all parrys gave you advantage unlike 4?
-Strings still poo especially since there is a side step now
-He has a decent low but still not that strong since only one follow up and you can react to that or struggle the stun.
-His strings are also slow so he can't really free cancel and throw you a lot.
I disagree with this. You can step his strings, but he can also free cancel and throw you at any point. Throws track.
Also, his low is really good. It's moderately difficult to react to, and you can't really counter the follow-up on reaction. You have to anticipate the follow-up and counter early to get it. This allows him to free cancel and throw you. You also can't slow escape fast enough to avoid the follow-up.
His strings are slow, but that actually makes it easier for him to free cancel and throw you.
I think he's top tier not counting the VF characters. Below Jann Lee and maybe a couple others, but still top tier.
I'd love to see a complete tier list from you when the game is closer to release. I know it may sound silly to request one so prematurely in the game's lifespan, but just having any kind of idea on where some of the characters stand (the ones you didn't cover in the IGN breakdowns) would be immensely helpful. But I know you're probably ridiculously busy
You'd have to ask Sorwah though. He made it pretty clear he doesn't want any tier lists posted within the first month or so.
probably off topic but are there any character breakdowns from the e3 build? kasumi ayane etc not the ones from the gamescom i think the ones that had elliot lei fang etc since i read about those... I know some things have probably changed since then but i would still like to see whats written about them...
Thanks! How come there isnt any for the shinobis?
Because Bryan hates Hayabusa. When the strategy guide comes out, Hayabusa will have his own pages for the Character section on the Table of Contents, but upon flipping to said pages you will find they simply DO NOT EXIST.

Lol it's funny because I find that most of the top level players don't particularly like the ninjas too much. It's mostly because a larger part of the scrubs and casuals only play the ninjas.
Personally, I've never played a DoA game before so I'm still highly intrigued by them lol
MASTER, myself, Allan Paris, Demon, Silent Legend, sWooZie, and Perfect Legend are all players known to either main a ninja or frequently use them at tournaments. That's just a small list, too. They're very popular with all players, not just the casuals or scrubs.
Good stuff! Don't let the popularity of the character you want to play dissuade you at all. Looks like you're interested in Ayane? Pay close attention to Demon. Silent Legend had a brutal one back in the 2U days, too. You're in good company around here.Yes, and you guys are most of the players I watch most when available
