    NG3 Making Folks Wary of DOA5

    I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall (an extraordinary fly that had a magical understanding of the Japanese language, no less!) that day.

    NG3 Making Folks Wary of DOA5

    Honestly, I didn't really care for NG3, either. But at the same time, what helps me have a positive outlook on DOA5? It's an entirely different team within Team Ninja making that game, so I will feel free to judge DOA5 based on that. Comparably speaking, it does more to remind me of how some...

    DOA5 Demo: Consolidated Feedback

    What I'm hoping is that this game, with its VF guests, is but merely the first step towards a true DOA+VF collab orchestrated by AM2. Such a game may not be quite the "Fighters Megamix 2" I always wanted as a kid, but dammit, it'd be close enough! 8D

    Dead or Alive 5 Alpha Demo System and Character Discussions

    So much this. But that much goes right along with what d3v posted as an article a while ago: http://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/srk-community-matters-%E2%80%93-or-why-a-game-is-legitimate-only-if-there-are-people-playing-it.479/ And honestly? I still agree with that assessment. Because if...

    Do you think Team Ninja Has the balls to bring this game to events for testing 'in the wild"?

    Having the "balls" is probably not so much the issue. Money, however...

    For the record, I meant "Cover Your Own Ass". ;)

    Character list leaked from Demo's EXE

    But honestly? What are these front-men supposed to do? Their main lot in life is to read from/memorize a script that's fit for general consumption. Furthermore, at this point in time, anything about the game itself is subject to change. Will "Mila" and "Rig" even make it into the final version...

    Dead or Alive 5 Alpha Demo System and Character Discussions

    It is the right thread. But with all due respect, you probably should read the other pages in this very topic. That will help you get up to speed with where we are since the demo was available.

    DOA5 Demo: Consolidated Feedback

    Wah bought this one up, and I think it's a good idea. - Option to change the "Extra Damage" for Power Blows between PS360 face buttons and DOA System buttons (P, K, G). Reason being, when we were playing it heavily at Xanadu last week especially, there were a couple of times where he, myself...

    So "Rig" may be a call for a legit character, after all? Interesting...

    Well, to put it in perspective, VF5 only added two new characters, and bought back Taka-arashi in VF5:R... 8D

    Character list leaked from Demo's EXE

    From the same poster: "Another name I missed, RTM is mentioned. RTM and RIG sounds tech related, so maybe one of them is just a dummy character used for debugging. Looking further into the executable, there's also some references to Ein. But then again, there's also references to Spartan. So...

    Character list leaked from Demo's EXE

    - - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=36256103&postcount=909 Two more VF chars stand to join Akira, and we have two new names altogether. Ein, apparently, is not returning. This listing is actually based off of the model list, so "Rig" may not even be a new character.

    It's risky, but it COULD work to the game's advantage, too. If the game is actually good and stands to have some legs, it'd be in a nice position for any possible Black Friday sales that following November, which would be appreciated by those who aren't planning to be Day 1 subscribers.

    You DON'T want to necessarily compete in a way that would possibly endanger sales to your own product, either. That's why proper placement when you go to market can make all the difference, as well. For example, Soulcalibur V benefited from being released both a) well after the Christmas Rush...

    New to FSD? Introduce yourself here.

    Oh, there have been a couple. It's just that, short of the likes of MK and Eternal Champions (at least, until Sega of Japan killed off EC in favor trying to push for VF back in the day), not many of them had any staying power. Skullgirls, on the other hand, stands to be very promising.

    I would think it would be in their best interests to get it out around September. It gives DOA5 better breathing room from competition such as Tekken Tag Tournament 2, due around December, last I checked.

    Dead or Alive 5 Alpha Demo System and Character Discussions

    Well, one of the articles I remember reading from the press event a few months ago said that PBs were much more akin to Focus Attacks from SF4. And it appears that they were right. Of course...I still can't download from PSN, yet! D8<

    Near Weekly Maryland Meet-ups

    No prob, I enjoyed myself! I think my main thing is that I do need training. Only problem there is that I don't quite have my own rig to play it on, so, grinding out hours in training mode in the comfort of my own mancave may not happen for a while. That's all the more reason why DOA5 had...
