Free Step Dodge

That's just how I am.. >_> It sucks. I really do want to become a good player, and learn all the in-depth tech of this game.. I just feel like I'm "OK" enough to know what I'm doing during regular gameplay, therefore, I do not bother..

Do you have friends in your area who play DOA? Or friends who don't suck, or are a lot better than you?

I feel you. I feel like there's so much learning it's overwhelming. I also have problems picking a main because somehow Jann doesn't feel right anymore. I feel like he's changed somehow. I have been trying to watch videos and read quides but translating them into my language is such a pain in the ass or then i just don't get it. This sucks indeed. Hurr durr player.

Picture Mind: No i don't. DOA is pretty unpopular game in here.

You don't need a main. Not at all. I never had a main, I just picked Helena this one time when I entered a tournament, so my strat was to stick with her until it went wrong. I like a ton of characters tho.

Anyways, if you play against players who are better you learn the most. I feel like in a few matches against good players I learn more than a full day against "bad" players.

Well, I had such a hard time picking a Main too. I started with Christie, because I knew how to use her from DOA4, but I didn't like her in DOA5, then I tried Tina, and was stuck with her, until a few months ago, when I decided to pick up Phase 4. You just have to try several characters, and you'll find someone you like! ^_^

I agree, @Pictured Mind . You do not "need" a Main at all. I just prefer having one, lol. XD My "Main" is usually just the Character I feel the most comfortable with.

I honestly prefer training by myself because of personal problems. I don't think anyone is enough patience to train me. But i do agree that it can be a good method for leveling up.
