Helena's needed improvements

[Project Bokuho]

Well, let's all just pray that Team Ninja actually improves Helena like she's should have been since the development.
They need to bring back all of her command attacks especially, because that move they just made didn't make sense at all in my opinion.

Hele is just nerfed beyond recognition. I'm still very mad about this.

Well it's interesting they say they're making her a technical character. When they haven't really gone over her new tools. Could be that she's a work in progress and they don't know what the hell to do with her.

Oooh! ooh!
I have an idea for Team Ninja: Bring back all of her previous attacks(like everyone else), maybe add more(since it's DOA5) and try not to do that same nerfing business in DOA6!

I think somewhere in here it's supposed to say "fixed"

Most of us can pick another character, it's just a shame that a fan favorite is being intentionally designed to be weaker and less indepth than the rest of the cast. I have faith Team Ninja has gotten the right feedback and will adjust her accordingly like they have for the rest of the game/cast.

A lot of people were saying how "low tier" Brad, Eliot, and Lisa would be but I see a ton of potential in them.

As of now Helena has lost a ton of important things from DOA4 and has gained nothing from DOA5, and has gotten nerfed even further beyond that.

Bryan already got the final 5.0 build it seems. All that is left is hope for the best.

pretty much, any changes that aren't there now won't be there at all unless through a post release patch.

helena players better....

Will he be able to let us know what the game looks like? I am hoping that Helena got some buffs but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Honestly with the little time between the videos and the info of having the full version I really doubt there is any big changes.

I doubt any new moves have been added but maybe the will make her as safe as her DOA4 self, maybe given her more frame advantage on her 3in1's or removed the nerfs from her Bokuho stance.

May that happen

I don't know if it's gold or not but he did mention getting the final build. That means he probably already knows combos with Mila and the rest of us don't know what she looks like. It's basically for work in the strategy guide, there's probably still a chance for minor adjustments before it goes gold.

Holdin' the gold,it's so gold,it's so golden y'all

Oh really? I didn't hear anything about this. I hope Helena has been granted the ability to kick ass.

She's one of my favorite characters and I intended to actually try to main her this time, so my fingers are definitely crossed.

[OSTCarmine]

team ninja is a pretty cool guy, eh nerfs good characters and doesnt afraid of anything

 

[Chaos]

There maybe a good surprise for Helena fans, TN may not tell us until early September or when we buy DOA5 and try it ourselfs to see if there was any changes made or not. They already surprise me by bringing back Hitomi's combo throw, so, TN said Helena is going to be a technical fighter, she maybe as powerful as Akria.

I never really bothered with Helena before DOA4, but once DOA4 was released, she quickly became one of my mains. When I then went back to DOA3 and DOA2 Ultimate, I found that I just couldn't play her in the same way and didn't enjoy the experience at all. It's amazing how some characters can lose or gain so much between iterations. I had a very similar feeling with Tina - a bit poo in DOA2, awesome in DOA3 and back to being a bit poo again in DOA4 (although it looks like she's going to be pretty formidable in DOA5).

Its weird how in the past, we basically had to shut up and put up with whatever we were given in new DOA games, but we've had a crazy amount of opportunity for input with DOA5. I guess we should be grateful for everything that has been noted by the community and addressed so far. Hopefully the concerns with Helena will also be addressed. We know that TN are aware of the situation, so I guess now we just have to trust that they'll take it on board.

Its a shame that the other characters haven't been as passionately analysed as Helena though. I hope that doesn't lead to a lesser experience with them. Helena is clearly very popular...hopefully that will pay off for her fans.
