Hello.

I'm not new. I created this new account to (eventually) post a thread about Dead or Alive Paradise (DOAP). Reason being that I did a Google search for: "Dead or Alive Paradise FreeStepDodge" and then "DOAP FreeStepDodge" but nothing really relevant to the game in particular came up. Of course there's not much to say about it since it's basically a watered-down DOAX2 for the PSP, but still, I just think it would be neat if there was something here on FSD that Google could index, you know, for posterity. Lol

Anyway, I'm probably gonna lurk for like a week or so before I do that. So yeah guys, see you around I guess.
Welcome to FSD!

Hey, I promised my friend that I'll learn DOA6 so I'm learning DOA. My main games are Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter. I do have experience with 3D fighters with Tekken as well and some Soul Calibur. I've been finding this game very overwhelming. I think what I want are a few pointers?

With a lot of combo videos online, I'm noticing they're not natural combos and your opponent has a chance to do critical holds. Reminds me of mechanics which makes your opponent have to change up their combo approach such as combo breakers Killer Instinct (I barely played that game) and to an extent DI with Smash Bros (Not a Smash player so my understanding of DI maybe bad). With SF and VF I'm more used to natural combos so you get combo, you can't do anything. I'm not used to that so what I've been learning are landing a launcher that pops my opponent in the air then combo off to avoid the risk of getting holds.

I like how the game has two ways to block. Is it sub optimal to bother doing hold back to block in this game? or are there some applications? Only thing I can think of is that you can move backwards, until your opponent presses something. Also I noticed my character tracks the opponent's as they're side walking when I hold back to block, so it's harder to go behind me.

This game is very interesting for me, seems very set up based with all these mechanic. It's not like fighting games I'm used to.

I'm playing Nyotengu, I want to cosplay her for EVO France so I've been learning the character.

At the moment, I'm keeping my gameplan sub optimal but simple for me to get used to the system and neutral. So relying a lot on 8K and 41236 P+H to get some combo damage in. As well as basic fighting game fundamentals and experimenting with my opponent being on critical stun and holds.

I'm based in the UK. My scene is mostly Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter. We dabble on DOA but rarely.

Welcome to FSD! Glad you decided to make an account and join us. Feel free to invite your friend as well.

In terms of gameplay tips. Nyo-Tengu is a character that I believe relies on her mind games. She took over Bankotsubo’s role from DOA2 and DOA4.

With DOA2 the Tengu style was overpowering and with DOA4 he was absurdly terrible and losing games came with the territory of picking up the character in the first place.

DOA5 and DOA6 they found even ground with the character IMO. She’s not particularly fast, but she retains important tools like P+K and the hiten stance which can easily manipulate your opponent.

Also, be sure to check out her specific character board.

Hello Freestepdodge!
I grew up playing DOA2 since the Dreamcast. I post art mostly on Bluesky, but I decide to make an account here because I love DOA discussions, theories, lore talk, conspiracies and art. I don't talk that much though. The only other forum I've used that's similar to this one is Smashboards.com Thank you for having me on!

I still keep wondering to this day why Kasumi and Tina hardly ever had interaction dialogue aside from that cheesy movie we got.

Hey all! Have visited this site a small few times over the years but never made a dedicated account. Been playing DOA religiously since 4 came out. With NG4 being a thing and the 30th anniversary soon, im missing it more than ever and decided to make an account here and get into the actual community side of DOA since I havent before. Hoping we get something in the near future.

Hey, Late night research has brought me back to good old fsd. I played DOA 5 for a couple years before DOA 6 came out but I'm not a fan of 6 so I was wondering if people still play DOA 5 if so, is there a community discord or anything to keep up with it just for funs sake? I main Marie Rose, ever since I saw Sonic Fox reading people like a book with advanced holds and her spin play I fell in love with the character. Anyways Looking forward to some nostalgia and maybe more. :)

Welcome! there are still people around playing DOA5LR, though it's definitely something of reaching out since it's no longer the latest game.

You'll find players here, as well as FSD Discord I believe to meetups for matches etc.
