I am starting to notice something. For the most part, characters that were good in DOA4 are not necessarily no longer good but, not as dominate as they use to be. The characters that were not as good (low tier) are getting stronger, their getting that limelight special. Just a theory that I have, of course it doens't apply to like a character or 3.
Lisa was low tier in DOA4 and she was low tier in the IPL build of DOA5.
I want to see how good Helena is once someone puts in this dedicated time TN is speaking on.
Been there, done that... Since I'm not cleared to discuss anything outside of these videos, let me break down what you saw.
- Between those two videos, Helena only used
2 safe attacks. The Lisa player just never punished anything.
- P+K doesn't crush anymore.
- Her damage is terrible. Even when a danger zone is involved, her damage is still lackluster.
- Did you see BKO go under anything? Hmm...
- PP2KP is gone. Her main juggle ender... is gone.
- How many mid-punches did you see? Hmm...
- How many unholdable stuns did you see? Hmm...
I don't have a final build yet, so maybe some last minute changes improved her, but even Shimbori confirms she's been super nerfed so... yeah.
