I just love how they actually play out the MU's properly instead of just bumrushing each other and mashing buttons. I also love have they use a variety of characters instead of tierwhoring like majority of the new school DOA players do. *coughschristiehelena4lifecoughs*
In a way, I am actually trying to take the same approach as the Japanese would, especially for other games like KOF for example. From what I've read and heard about, they often tend to resort to very meticulous spacing and "Yomi" = Knowing the mind of the opponent... playing the player(s).
