[Doug Nguyen]

Kasumi

PP6P6KK,6P6K,9K
Changed behavior to a jump hold when held​

4P+K (when not triggering a Power Blow)
Changed reaction to knock-back on low hi counter and back-turned low hi counter hits​

Her first change is interesting, i dont see how it could be a jump hold now, it definitely looks like a mid kick. Her second change, i dont really understand.

 

[TRI Mike]

So Bryan's guide is outdated in the first day¿ lol

 

[Sam Sultan]

Thanx for the link i was wondering what the patch actually changed. It seems they haven't done anything major about the online mode yet, hopefully they will in the near future.

Helena

4P+K (when not triggering a Power Blow)
Changed reaction to knock-back on low hi counter and back-turned low hi counter hits​

No buffs..​

 

[RoboJoe]

Eliot:

236P
Change frame advantage on guard to +2 (guard break)

Is this a nerf or a buff? I don't remember what it was before.

Its a buff(at least compared to the DOA4 version). it left him at disadvantage on block before, dunno how it was in DOA5 pre-patch though. either way no nerfs on him woooo!

Good to know. Sadly no buffs for Hele.

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

LOL at Helena. Seriously, I thought she was the one character that needed the most changes.

 

[DR2K]

Helena is fine as is. Maybe a little more safety, but she's so fucking dirty in this one.

 

[Chaos]

So DOA5 is jacked up without the patch? So the balance change from the patch will make the gameplay better? I'm too afraid to download this patch. My head hurts.

 

[Doug Nguyen]

So is this our only free patch were getting.

They need to address the online a little better.

Yeah i feel like they rushed this patch. Something so easily as fixing the language glitch wasnt even fixed. Anyone else have the issue where sometimes even though you put side step as 2 or 8HPK it still side steps when you go 22 or 88, this only happens randomly for me. Its really confusing though.

 

[shunwong]

Are the changes to Bradn Wong Buffs or Nerfs? (I don't know what they were changed from)

​

Gyoin-Dantai
The properties of “K during Gyomi-Inshusei” and “K during Tenshin-Hiinshu” were different, so we standardized on the first (K during Gyomi-Inshusei).​

4P+K (when not triggering a Power Blow)
Changed reaction to knock-back on low hi counter and back-turned low hi counter hits​

P during Dokuritsu-Ho
Hitting a character with this as a normal back hit causes a small stagger​

6P in Kasenko
Changed general reaction when landing as a back hit to small stagger​

46P,64P
Increased input time​

This patch was probably made in advance without other issues having made into it, and it also has to go through certification from MS and Sony right, which also takes time. Anyway i think it will be some time before the next patch rolls out.

 

[MasterHavik]

any changes for Zack?

*Throws a chair* Damn it!

Patches take time This patch was most likely finalized 2-3 weeks ago so that it could go through approval. Also, most of these changes are most likely based on feedback from the balance testers that didn't make the cut.

The frame data is based on the patch.
