The DOA5U "Casual" thread. ^__^

Why?

Basically the inclusion of Sarah made her better in this game than in VF because of the actual stun mechanic behind it. Sarah and Pai were literally B and C tier in VF. DOA helped Sarah and Pai up'd their game a bit because of having safe moves as well as having moves that's like i11 mid, 4P advantage etc. Now since DOA has the intial stun to it..it made them "actually" scary.

But to be completely honest, I only find Sarah scary in a bad connection+button delay.

6KP > 6P. The chick is -3 and you get away with 6P against my i12 mid? Get outta here. That's a online shit right there. That's not Sarah's problem. That's DOA in a nutshell.

I don't get angry. Getting angry is a very stupid idea.

It's hard not to get angry when you're steadily losing rank points to the most annoying tactics over and over again. and then it starts to feel that everything you try doesnt work. but anything they do connects. When you lose 300 points after just gaining 200. over and over again. feels like taking 1 step forward and two steps back. ;l

I also like listening to my own music. I use the Xbox media player for songs and then leave the sound effects from the game on. I never actually get frustrated with DOA. SMG was the last game I ever got really frustrated with and I just stopped playing it for a while until I wanted to try again (the Luigi purple coin challenge if everyone remembers that. ).

Well, I TRY to set the controller down, quit the game, and play again later when I'm in a better mood.

But my pride gets the better of me and I end up playing angrily which generally makes me play worse and I get even more pissed off because of it and then that cycle continues until the other person decides to leave the lobby.

Oh and I usually have netflix running on the laptop with some funny show on. Helps a little.

Then why are you playing ranked?

Also, I love that song.

To get back the points i lost and to get a B score. im just sick of losing to the stupid crap. im tempted to just go high teir for wins only instead of sticking it out with my main. Sick of this crap.

 

[David Gregg]

Rank =/= skill. The letter is meaningless.

Why is that rank so important to you? Rank means nothing. The whole DOA community knows that. I've been told that I could have a higher rank than what I have now but I honestly don't care. Ranked sucks.

 

[Brute]

There are only two things that really make me angry in this game. The most common is when people act pretentious for winning via lag abuse. It can be frustrating, not gonna lie.

Like Chapstick I used to try and take a break from the game when it happened, but then I realized that my bad mood carried on to whatever other thing I was going to do which is bogus. So, I've started just choosing alt/side characters that I'm not as comfortable with, and using the time to practice with them a bit and just have some lighthearted fun.

 

[Chapstick]

It's kind of flattering when people say "OH it's one of those people that's good but doesn't rank up so they stay F" in lobbies.

For me getting angry is easy because I'm just an angry person so it's not really a choice. I guess the answer to that is "don't play the game" but I still like playing it

 

[Malibu]

I don't like that though

I understand what you mean. I started playing video games to have fun in the first place, so if I rage while playing I'm kinda doing it wrong. Having that mindset keeps me from getting mad. I don't know, it works for me.

I don't like that though

I'm sorry buddy. : (

A majority of the time i like to play for entertainment. But for some reason when i play a fighting game. I can't help but feel 100% immersed. like i am the person that gets kicked when their down. or taunted when they tried everything they could. I know i can get really angry so it's probably best i don't go to offline tournies for this game. i'd pop off xD

I play DOA better with music in my ears. stops me from getting frustrated. what do you guys do when you start getting angry?

I usually have my phone next to me. Reading TV tropes while playing with some kinda relaxing electronica music going like house or eurobeat or kascade or whatnot.

Or listening to standup. Yay johns caparulo and mulaney!

I turn of the console and do some chores before i start wrecking shit at home.

 

[Marteze]

yeah for some reason i ranked up to S yesterday ????????? i'm still in shock.

I still see my A rank as proof rank is meaningless. I consider myself a b- at best. But I got to almost S simply by beating terrible rubies in ranked despite constantly losing to lower ranks.

Only time I pay attention to records is when their win/loss ratio is so one sided that its blatantly obvious they are cheap as humanly possible, or they just play with friends they constantly crush.
