Depends on the character. Go try to memorize Marie Rose or Leon's movelist. It takes like, 30 minutes to memorize all their moves, strings and the majority of their frame data.
Then try to do the same with Brad Wong. Try and weep.
I think I'm just gonna wait till I'm fully DOA prepared. I don't have the full game, nor do I have Marie Rose Phase-4 or any others of the full DOA cast.. All I have are the 4 ninjas and I got Mila, Hitomi, and Jan Lee for free thanks to Team Ninja's promotions. Plus I'm trying to get used to playing fighting games on the DS3's D-pad, but my thumb's not really comfortable with it..
Dualshock 3 is annoying, haha. I feel your pain.
Is there anyone that you'd ideally like to play that you don't have atm? (ex: I want to be a Rig main)
but yea Hajin said he'd help me out. Same with Xavier and Destructionbomb, I'm also gonna ask Tenryuga and Adon for help also, but 1st I wanna get me a better controller. I bought a Nyko core controller, but it's D-pad is bad for this.
