She'll pick up the terminology and the game when it comes out. Many of us didn't know what the difference between a guard break or a guard crush was at one point, or a catch throw or an offensive hold.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

I think Mystik was much better today on the mic. She must have shaken off her nervousness. I know that commentary is really difficult to do. Hell, I have enough trouble sounding right on a podcast, and with my own speech mannerisms holding me back. I think especially

I enjoyed this day's stream the most so far. Props to Mystik and Rikuto for making it through the 9 hour shift.

Yeah they both did a great job. Props to Mystik for toning down the sexual inneundo and trying to increase her knowledge.

VF5 has a mighty good training mode. And the terminology will carry over to DOA5. Free on PSN+ and only $15. I feel it's a good investment for anyone trying to learn.

Yea, commentary was better today and so were the matches.

On a side note, my friend doesn't want to go to E3 tomorrow so he's giving me his badge so I'll be able to try out the new DOA5 demo tomorrow :D

a few question's Rikuto because i didn't get to watch all of the stream and my PC is being funny~

-for the Critical Burst, you must first put them into a critical state right?
-Is the command universal?
-do you feel that there are enough Limbo/sitdown stuns for each character to effectively make uses of said system?
-Do you think the meta game for this game will move away from holds(highly defensive play) completely with the integration of this mechanic?
-Do you feel that Power Blows are still useless?

sorry for the 21 questions....

-From what I understand you have to reach a certain stun threshold, which doesn't seem to take much. I could be wrong though.

-No, specific moves perform the critical burst. Example, I saw Hitomi's 6p+k cause a critical burst.

-Basing on the info we have I definitely believe holds are going to play a much smaller role this time around.

-According to Rikuto he said on the stream that critical burst stuns last long enough for a fully charged power blow. So I'd so no, they are no longer useless, but I don't know the setups yet to determine whether a juggle would do more damage or not (unlikely given that you can choose a dangerzone to send them into with a PB). Some characters might have more powerful juggles though.

Why, hello, Rikuto. :D

@DriftSlave: I know my name's not Rikuto, but I'm positive about the answer to these two:

You have to get your opponent to the end of the stun threshold to pull one off, so yes, technically they have to be in critical state.

-Is the command universal?

No. It's explicitly stated it's not. What moves will do a critical burst differs from character to character and they may not be limited to just one move (Kasumi's :6 :p+k and :4 :f+k both critical burst I think).

EDIT: Ninja'd by Raansu. I'm getting a lot of that this week.

Kayane vs Blackmamba was the highlight of yesterday's stream for me, a good show of a lot of the new changes to DoA 5.

We get to come up with fun catch phrases for guaranteed moves like the other fighting game communities now. Everyone pay close attention.

Second day was amazing, at least the first half which is what I could watch. It seems I missed a lot, dammit. Anyway, Rikuto kicks ass hard with his Bayman. Also, was cool to watch DrDogg messing around with various characters.

So, what's the difference? Sorry for not doing research, but it's hard trying to figure things out when there isn't a terminology section, unlike TZ and VFDC.
