Was she boring?

She's not exactly pick up n' play friendly.

Ayane's kinda, an "acquired taste". But once you acquire the taste, she's one of the most rewarding characters in the game.

lol I know your pain @devildog_6_6_6. I tried Ayane a few times, but in the end I gave up on her.

i choose her cause she's sexy

Yeah, pick characters based on how sexy they are. I do too.

I agree that Ayane's command training is repetitive and not so much exciting even for me. But when you acquire the knowledge of the imputs and start to experiment mixing them in the actual gameplay, she become exactly the opposite of predictable and the possibilities are endless, believe me.

Well she does have the 2nd largest moveset in the game, but that is partially due to having move variants from both FT & BT.

This is right (indeed the training is for the most the execution of variants, for this reason can appear not so great in certain points), but the metagame available with Ayane's moveset is imo one of the best of the game tied to her particular nature of unpredictability and mixing. I can use her in a way truly limited compared to what other people here are able to do, but I think to have anyway noticed it.

I hate ayane..but I guess I was just pretty tred when I tried to learn her..might give it another go. She's my second most hated character in the doa universe.

Why are you attempting to learn a character you hate?

I dont know in all honesty, my brain just told me to try and learn her... ._.)

Well I don't know if you'll be interested, but I'm hosting a stream this Saturday to give a tutorial on Ayane.
