Which character(s) is an all round character?

Ok, I figured out that if your opponent does a HOLD then if you neutral Throw them Tina will do the GTS. For example if your opponent guesses wrong and HOLDS in anticipation of an attack but you throw out a neutral Throw instead of striking (or if you see your opponent do a HOLD and are able to...

Has there been any word if Team Ninja will address this with a new patch? Or is all dev support for this game pretty much dead now?

I've just recently completed all three of the Virtua Fighter characters command training, and I have to admit I find these Virtua Fighter characters to be much harder to use than the DOA characters. Their moves are more difficult to do and the timing on their moves is more strict as well. These...

Updated the list.

I was playing against the CPU/AI/COMP (whatever you want to call it) and it was using Tina, and during the course of the match the CPU did two moves against me that I am unable to find anywhere in Tina's move list. They are: #1: The GTS (Go-To-Sleep); and #2: Air grab into the Giant Swing...

So after the help of a friend and a whole bunch of testing here is a list of special tag throws that I have found so far: NOTES: #1: In most cases special tag throws are done with just a normal neutral throw (:H+P:). In fact the only one that I have found so far that is different is the tag...

Why have some notes been striked out? As can be seen in the patch notes here: http://teamninja-studio.com/doa5/uk/patch/0116b.html

It was done for balancing purposes. The weight class for all of the characters in DOA5 was done with balancing in mind, not realism. It's the same reason why Akuma has a glass jaw in Street Fighter.

I think it would be very helpful (especially to newcomers to the series) to have a thread dedicated to giving a basic description of each and every character. Something similar to this: http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=125509 Are there any of the more experienced...

I have yet to see a game as well balanced as Virtua Fighter 5. I have only been playing DOA5 for about a week now, but it seems that most people say this game is pretty balanced. As long as we don't have another vanilla Street Fighter IV Sagat situation on our hands then I'm happy.

I think the PS3 version is 1.03A+ at the moment and the X360 version is 1.03A. The 1.03A+ patch was to implement a bunch of "cross-play" stuff so that the PS3 and PSVita version of the game can link up with each other. Here is a list of fixes that was added with patch 1.03A+...

Akira's movements just feel very "blocky" and stiff to me. He has some pretty powerful hits no doubt, but controlling him feels like you're trying to steer a tank. :(

Just out of curiosity which were the most used characters in DOA4?

XZero264: The thing is not everyone has been playing this series since "forever ago". Some of us (like me for example) only started playing the DOA series recently. It would have been nice if the game developers had taken this into consideration when designing the game. Especially since this is...

After unlocking the three Virtua Fighter characters I tried them all out and Akira just feels really slow to me. Even compared to Bayman and Bass. Akira feels like he's got 10 ton cement blocks tied to his arms and legs. The character is just too slow for my tastes. Sarah and Pai are closer to...

I like fast characters, and I like rushdown characters. I prefer to be on the offensive. Playing defensively is not really my thing. I can play defensively if the situation calls for it, but I definitely prefer to be on the offensive. I like DOA's hold/counter system, but at the same time I...

Thanks for the replies guys. I have some new questions. Which characters are better suited to beginners, and which characters are considered to be hard characters to play properly? I just want to start off with a beginner-friendly character and as I learn the game I'll work my way up to...

Is there a complete list of tag throws? If so where can I find it? Also are all tag throws performed in the same manner or are there some that require a specific input?

Why am I only seeing this stuff now? Seriously, this needs to be stickied in the forums section or something. Would have made things a lot easier for me the past week I've been trying to learn this game.
