DOA Q&A

[BMFAlpha]

@Gill Hustle always streams some good matches at http://www.twitch.tv/ugslive
I post stuff from time to time on my youtube channel, TheRealSlyBass. It's only my Akira matches though.

Thanks for the reply man and suggestions.

Thanks for the reply man and suggestions.

Looks like Gill posted most of the matches on FSD today too.

I know this might be a pretty stupid question but can somebody please enlighten me on this but is a airborne attack a high attack better yet can it be countered with a high hold?

Depends on the character/jumping move. Mila's jumping punch is a mid. Akira's jumping kick is a high.

From my personal experience, most airborne attacks are typically mid-level and only a few actually hit high.

Thank you Sly Bass and grap3fruitman. I appreciate ya'll two taking the time to answer my question

 

[BMFAlpha]

Ok so I'm sorry for double posting but I really need to ask this but is there a guide or list on here or anywhere else where I can find all the unlisted moves that are not in character's move lists?

 

[Matt Ponton]

Check the wiki if a member of the community has put up the character's frame data.

What is a hurt box

 

[Matt Ponton]

There's generally two boxes on s character. A hit box and hurt box. If a hit box collides with a hurt box than a hit is scored.

Quick question: Is the DOA5U arcade only available in Japan or can anyone outside of Japan can buy it?

 

[Matt Ponton]

Only in Japan.

That's because it's using the Aime P.net Sega platform. Which basically means it's digital distribution to arcades with the hardware AND subscription to run the service. The subscription is a couple grand a month due to making multiple games available for any number of machines.

Oh ok then. Thanks for that and that is a shame really

But hey, if HOG finds out a way to get it, let me know please.

If there is a way to get the DOA arcade and bring it over to the UK, then that would be Perfect!! But HOG is not the only arcade that we've got.

 

[Matt Ponton]

Still my arcade friends say there is currently no way so I trust them.

i'm going to ask a manager from a certain arcade if he can import the machine to the arcade at some point

Here's a quote from my friends,

It runs on Sega RingEdge 2 hardware, using Sega's ALL.Net P-ras MULTI Ver. 2 content digital distribution platform.

The Ringedge 2 is like Taito's system. Basically the games themselves are downloaded via a server that the arcade pays SEGA each month for (something like $500 for like 5 machines). I doubt there is software that is tangible.

Ohhh, ok then. Thanks for the info man and yeah, its unlikely that the manager will be able to find that specific arcade machine but Ill see what I can come up with.

I have a question and Im unsure about this. When is a move considered unsafe in DoA? I use to think that when a move was -10 on block or worse cause I was judging by the 9f strikes but grabs come out faster at 5f, 7f, etc. Neutral throws the ones that are 5 frames seem to be breakable while the 7 frame throws are unbreakable.

So judging from this a move is unsafe when it is worse than -7 on block?
