I am new to doa series in general, and I can't get used to the triangle system. I am using a grappler with 4 frame grabs, but even when I tried to grab an opponent who just finished an attack string that seems to be negative on block, I still got hit by their next standing attacks (they weren't crushing, and they weren't doing lows). I have not played a fighting game where grabs couldn't connect on a target when they are not in idle/guard state. it seems in DOA games, as long as they are pressing attacking buttons, even if they are on negative, grabs just won't work on them. I am used to fighting games where even when opponent is attacking, if my throw is faster than theirs, I can grab out of their attacks before they land theirs. can doa do this? am I doing it wrong? is this what offensive holds are for?
also, I don't have good execution so I mash quite a bit, this usually works in fighting games in general because the attack strings usually consist of at most 2 punches, but in this game the attack strings could be 5 or 6 punches, and having pressed 1 more than necessary could lead to death.
H cancel doesn't seem to help. say I already pressed P 5 times, the game already buffered it, even if I mash H on the 3rd punch animation, the 4th and 5th punches will still come out and I lose my combo or worse I get held... how do fighting gamers with bad execution deal with this problem when they 1st play DOA?
