Does anyone else see a serious problem with this move? I had a problem with its inclusion in DOA4, but I'm really fed up with it at this point.
I've seen plenty of Hitomi players throwing it out after an unsafe move and the ways to get around it seem so severely limited. Grabbing hardly works because you can't react fast enough to a whiffed parry (plus she has an attack option afterwards) and if you try to grab because the move she did was unsafe she could easily hit you out of it with her next move. Kicking hardly works because after the unsafe move mid-string she's still faster than you and can hit you out of that (should she choose not to throw out the parry). Jabbing doesn't work for obvious reasons. So your only option left is to do a low jab.
Is that the only way to get around this? I'm frustrated because I'm at the point where I almost don't do anything against Hitomi because she's always got upper hand. I feel as though this game would be perfectly balanced without her parry as it is my biggest complaint. I feel as though she has enough to work with and the parry is unnecessary. If it were removed she would have to be played with a lot more caution and right now she's reckless and can get away with it. Don't get me wrong, I am asking for help on this and I'll take any suggestions so that I don't enter the ring vs Hitomi feeling mind-fucked from the get-go. I also want to know your thoughts about this.
