I main Momiji. lol But, a ninja other than her? I actually dropped Ayane for her when 5U came out. haha Hm if I can take 4 mains, I'll add Hayate back.

Kasumi & Momiji are the main 2 that I play. I also play Ayane, but it's just hard to practice her online since she requires heavy execution. Kasumi does too actually, just when I play her online at times, I have to adjust & settle for basic combos because of the latency. Momiji is the easiest for me to play online, but even her, I have to keep it basic since it's hard to play online.

I see. I thought it was Kasumi and Ayane. :O Momiji is the only ninja I use a lot now. Hayate became a sub once Ein returned. lol I did sub Kasumi for a short time a long time ago, but I couldn't get into her. :/ One of the reasons was for what you said about practicing her online. :| I agree that Momiji's the same with latency, but yeah definitely easier than Kasumi is.

Well yeah it was & still is, just when I began with 5u, I had the intent of breaking down Kasumi because it took more to work with her. Then Ayane had changed drastically even her input notation. I even had to readjust to using the 1P+K shoulder instead of 11. I've adjusted to her, but it's just hard to practice with her online because like I said before she required a lot of execution, like Kasumi.

Momiji I had intentions on playing her one day 1 as well. She was my favorite character from NG so I was a lot eager to try & break her down since that Ayane is very time consuming. So that's why she is one of my top 2 (with Kasumi being my main obviously). Plus, she wasn't as complex as Kasumi or Ayane put together, she plays 5U really well too. So it was a good move.

My Ayane will get there. It's just taking me some time. because it's hard to play her in bad online conditions but I try anyway. Some practice is better than none. I desperately need to play her in offline casuals to give her a super boost though

IDK. I guess I just got lazy & never got around to finishing in the lab with her at that time. Because I always worry about Kasumi before both of them 1st lol. But yeah the Momiji hype was real. I've been breaking her down fine. Plus Hajin, Ael & FON have always had my back.

Wow, they all use Momiji as a main as well? And, yeah same. Momiji’s been my favorite character in NG and one of my favorite characters in games in general since NG DS. I really wanted her to be in DOA one day and got so hyped when she was shown in 5U. XD At one point I almost wanted to use her over Kokoro.. but I seriously can't decide between my 3 mains because I like all

of them a LOT for different reasons, and I feel completely comfortable when playing each of them.

I mained Ayane since I played the DOA2 Dreamcast demo until 5U when Momiji replaced her. I wasn't as serious playing Ayane as I was with Ein/Hayate or Kokoro though. I played her mainly because I liked the character story and design wise, so I never knew too much about her in gameplay at a very good level.

For me I kind of worry about Ein the most since Kokoro and Momiji usually seem to do fine when I play after awhile. I try to train them all equally most of the time though. I love being able to counter pick in games. lol If I can get Hayate back to the way he was again, I think he might help me with some match ups like vs Helena or Christie. Most of the time I pick Momiji when I face those 2.

Well Hajin & FON subs Miji but Ael subs Kokoro. Momiji actually handles Christie fine to me but you're not going to outpoke outjab let alone fist fight with Christie. You have to be more patient in that match up. Helena can be confusing because of her BKO stance & her fighting low to the ground but she actually can handle her pretty decent too.

Some of her best tools doesn't work properly though like her 3P hitbox window which is one of her best if not the best stun that Momiji has.

The biggest tools that Momiji has that she can utilize against them are 7K & 2P. 7K (12i) although it's -12 on block, it's not punishable due to the big push back. 2P is 0 on block. Her spacing kills both of them because they have nothing that you have to fear. Christie has her Jak stances, but she can deal with them just fine with 1P, 44P, 3KP etc.

But yeah can also be aggressive as well once you get the momentum on them

Oh, I see I actually didn't know that all of them used her too. lol That is some good info you gave on Momiji vs those 2. I'll make sure to remember some of it, thanks a lot! I only know a few things when facing those 2. They beat me worse than any other character in the whole game. lol :/

Who do you think (between Momiji and Hayate) does best vs Helena and Christie? Some people are telling me Hayate and a few Momiji.. I feel like Momiji does fine when facing Helena and Christie compared to Kokoro or Ein, but it still might be good to have 2 characters to choose from. If I do relearn Hayate, he probably won't get to my main 3's level. XD At least not anytime soon haha

They're really pretty much of the same type of character except Momiji has a better offense & better crush variety. Hayate's SSing command is godlike along with his range & gap closing. While Momiji is good at that too. Momiji may have more keep off game too since she has 214P, 6PP, 3PP, 44K etc. It's really hard to decide because both of them are really solid with those 2 matches.

Hayate has a good stun > launch game but Momiji gets to hers more fluently & she has guaranteed damage. Hayate's offense revolves around being patient, playing the stun game, fishing for holds, & launching whenever he catches his opponent misholding. Momiji's offense is quick stun > launch, baiting out holds for throws & guaranteed setups. So you really can't go wrong. Just Hayate you'll have to play more guess work.

And both of them are really fast.
