The DOA5U "Casual" thread. ^__^

[Brute]

What's with all the numbers?

see:

Changing subjects a little bit, but I was asked recently what characters I like to use and why, and I'm actually asked this question quite a bit. The fact is, there's no clear-and-cut "I like this" system to the characters I enjoy and choose to play.

There are trends, sure. Generally speaking I like heavy hitters. I prefer fewer hits that hit much harder than having to land a bunch of tiny "easy" hits. This can be summarized as: "High-risk, high reward." This is especially the case if the move feels iconic in some way, so that my opponent goes "Oh God, he got me."

Inevitably, this applies to throws and grapples. I love combo throws. So in general, I do like grapplers. But, I don't like all grapplers better than strikers (especially if you're one of those loons who only considers the i4 5T characters as grapplers).

So anyway, I thought I'd grade all the characters on a 1 to 5 scale of how much I enjoy playing them. This is not how much I enjoy fighting the character, nor how balanced I think they are or easy/difficult to use. This is just personally who I have fun using. So don't get offended if your character isn't scored very high. That doesn't mean I hate your character, it just means that (s)he is not a good fit for me, at least yet.

I didn't think this topic worthy of a brand new thread, so I figured I'd just post it here, as it is a more casual discussion given that I would only ever play half of these characters casually. Without further adieu, enjoy.

So basically, I find most characters middle-of-the-road.

 

[Xhominid The Demon Within]

Let me make mine a bit more like everyone else's since I was mainly shooting from the hip and included the main characters I played:

5:
4:
3:
2:
1:

You can add Lady Tengu at 5 and Phase 4 at 4

Marie Rose would have been a 4, but at the state she's in, she's too much trouble to really do any damage with, but she's still a fun character to troll with.

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

I'm not surprised that everyone started doing this number thing after Brute did, lol.

 

[Brute]

I am an inspiration.

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

Well, yes, but I just mean that whenever anyone does something "fun" like this on a forum, everyone ends up doing it too.

 

[DestructionBomb]

It's brute mod powers affecting all of us, something like this he's probably doing:

 

[Yurlungur]

Well, yes, but I just mean that whenever anyone does something "fun" like this on a forum, everyone ends up doing it too.

Shall we go back to our scheduled "tits and tengu" chat?

 

[Brute]

Well, yes,

 

[Argentus]

I'm not surprised that everyone started doing this number thing after Brute did, lol.

Its something to alleviate the boredom

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

To be clear, people, I'm not complaining.

 

[Project Bokuho]

I like Bokuhoing. That is all.

 

[Tyaren]

Now, in the DOA5 art book, Team Ninja writes about the Fuel stage: "You might find Christie somewhere in the background." Is this true? o__O' Did anybody spot her?

Probably in the story mode. Random people always appear in the backgrounds for story modes

 

[Tyaren]

They do? Can you give me an example? But I don't think, they were talking about story mode, but the design of the stage in general.

I forgot something (maybe) important. The full text:
"Check out the sign for the bar, where the roughnecks go after a long day. You might find Christie somewhere in the background."

Are they still referring to just the sign in the stage, or are they in they talking about the bar in the end?

 

[DestructionBomb]

To be clear, people, I'm not complaining.

You are too cool for that FP.

 

[Chapstick]

I'm not surprised that everyone started doing this number thing after Brute did, lol.

I think that's because we were talking about bibles and creampies and people wanted to change the subject

I was honestly surprised that the "creampie" topic died off so fast lol

 

[Jadeinchains]

I was honestly surprised that the "creampie" topic died off so fast lol

And who doesn't love a good old fashioned creampie?!
