So Sidestepping..

[INFAMESS]

So there are apparently two ways to sidestep via the other options menu. I was wondering whether or not my choice effects both players or just one?

 

[MaxwellMouse]

That is a great question. I'd hope each player can have their own SS settings much like button layouts.

 

[Shade]

Each has their own option

The SS in this game works very well. I would even go as far as to say it works about as good as VF's. Doesn't work online though. Too much laggy

I've seen people sidestepping grabs. Not only on YouTube videos but it even happened once at the IPL tournament yesterday. Makes me wonder how that works. Maybe the transition into attack is fast enough for the grab to be beat out by the attack from the sidestep.

I used 22 and 88 but at the same time I can use PKH+2 or 8, each player has different settings.

As I'm kind of new to DoA on a stick, I'm using 22 or 88. I have a fear that I'll hit all 3 accidentally when trying to just shit P+K or H+K. But that will change with practice.

 

[Darrell]

gif I made of me SS 3 consecutive delayed attacks. I was like "Wooo!!"

 

[Mesharey]

Hitomi suffers with the SS, most of her attacks are straight. :/

You don't fear that doing a 33 motion will accidentally be read as 6226? ditto for 11 and 4224 as that's what caused a lot of players to start favoring the 2H+P+K method.

This is odd. I was playing against someone in ranked and I couldn't sidestep the way I set it (fpk). I was forced to use 88 or 22, it really threw my game off. Not sure if it was a glitch or what

 

[Matt Ponton]

Yeah I've had that glitch happen to me against Mamba in Ranked.

 

[NinjaDucky]

The game appears to be monumentally bad at saving quite a lot of options. I have to set up certain things pretty much every time I load the game, could be that this is one of them?

 

[Matt Ponton]

No, it's not that because after it happened to me I saw that it still had me set to the 2h+p+k input. I honestly believe it's picking up the settings from my Player 2 controller config, and since I haven't set those then they're set to default or 22_88 input.

 

[CyberEvil]

The sidestep input glitch happens to me randomly in just about every mode. Haven't figured out a reason for it as of yet.

Speaking of movement, did you guys notice that you dont get high counter strike for hitting a back dashing opponent. It is Counter strike, and you no longer get the default stun you did in the past. The stun you get varies on the attack used. I like it!!!

Doesn't like every move retrack anyway? I'm not really seeing a great need for this sidestep except the fact that it ducks a little bit...

 

[synce]

Ivr gotten great use out of it. You can ss someone mid combo then go on the offensive. With counters so weakened its a good alternative

-You can ss multiple times. So if the follow up attack still hits after the evade, just evade again.
