God, I love 4P

I think if they actually took a look at her recovery frames, they wouldn't hate her as much.

^ this so much

It's the casual players who have no idea how to defend against her. They just hate her just to "hate" her which is stupid. You're pretty much being biased. I mean look at the casual threads & some of the comments you read everyday

Kasumi + Lag = Salt-faced tears.

But yeah, take up Pai or Sarah to show how annoying a speedy character can be.

LOL

Oh god, Pai, Christie, and Sarah make my Kasumi feel slow. At least when I fight Kasumi I know what her strings are. People should also realize Kasumi was way worse in DOA4. Her 1K alone was salty town.

FoN is so right. Some time ago, I had a couple of Kasumi mirrors online with a guy that was one bar to me. Although it was playable, all unsafe things he threw out were save (that were a lot). I gave up throw punishing after the second match xD

But yeah, somehow, I also think that she is the most hated character

I feel ya PewPew. If you think Kasumi mirrors are aggravating, Ayane mirrors will make you want to throw a kitten through a 3 storey window with how 99% of Ayane's on PSN play.

Offline though, GenFu & ALPHA are the most hated characters with Helena & Christie close by.

Online Ayanes make me feel like a complete idiot. They do the most obvious predictable stuff yet it works on me. Those 4Ps and 236Ks get me just about every time. D:

Online Ayanes make everyone feel like idiots for subjecting themeselves to that torture.

You could mash random buttons with ayane and probably perfect me every round. I can't counter anything she does. Even if I see it a mile away. Like 6K2K or 3PP

Online Ayanes' abuse 4P & 6K2K online. It's online tactics. I'll take the loss rather than mash buttons & develop bad habits that will effect me offline.

It's like frame data online is non-existent. Ein & Kokoro gets away with a lot online too. All of them in some shape form or fashion does tbh. Hayabusa is another one that I've seen do so crazy stuff that doesn't work in reality (offline) but online.

Ayane beating out most of Kasumi's stuff has to be online tactics. Especially her kicks. Though, I'm guilty of of using Kasumi's 4P2K too much. Hell, half the stuff I do I shouldn't be getting away with >_>

Ayane's 4P/BT4P has the same crush property as Kasumi's 33P. That's something that a lot of ppl do not understand. Kasumi can use 4P2K as crush property as well.

In terms of being lag-friendly, I'd probably say Ayane is the character that becomes the most retarded in lag in the sense that you're forced to play her in a stupid, unintuitive way to win online compared to her offline gameplay. It's even more aggravating because most online Ayane's think that is good gameplay.

However, Helena, Rig, ALPHA, Hitomi, Momiji, Hayate, Christie and Kasumi become very stupid in lag. Kasumi's 6P2K, 4P2K, 1PP, 1K and PP2K become infuriating in lag.
