We don't know if that was Donovan in the helicopter at the end of DOA4. At least I never thought it was. Dimensions strengthened this by making a point of hiding his face whenever he appears in a cutscene, and he's always invariably wearing a white jacket. Neither of those were kept to in the...

I see they kept Bass' JP VA from Dimensions. He's still quite awesome.

I think he means Shiden could have been Donovan all along, manipulating everyone into doing his bidding unknowingly. It's not likely at all but a cool enough plot to consider.

Breaking news: Bass' 33p doesn't launch on normal hit any more.

I like Christie's English voice, but Bass' is awful to me. :( Rig looks and sounds pretty typical. His voice is familiar...

Doesn't that happen already with Bass on a counter-hit? Be a pretty anitclimatic match, don'tcha think?

If you're not arguing that she's actually better than other characters, then there's no point in the discussion. Played against a different character of perfectly equal skill, she will lose every time, because she sacrifices too much damage because of her lack of effective holds, in a game where...

Ahem... Also: Now, I've read Sirlin's Playing To Win article before, and I've also read the comments people have made about it . A good chunk of those were arguments about how hypocritical competitive players were about arbitrarily calling things overpowered while simultaneously...

152 has really bad launchers. Her only single-hit launcher is 3F+K iirc, and she doesn't have particularly amazing mixup potential because of the 3-point hold. Her OHs are excellent (QCB HCF F+P will crush bloody well everything), but they are telegraphed a lot and easily interrupted. And...

The skin tones in DOAOL are absolutely revolting. I don't want to see Bass' legs ever again...

Balance patches or hotfixes don't count as DLC.

To Rikuto: short question, does Bayman's Fire Bullet (6P+K in 4 and 4P+K in earlier DOAs) launch again on stun, counter or hi-counter hit?

Doesn't Kasumi mean 'mist' in Japanese?

The only game where I was sure it was unblockable was 4, I just wanted some clarification on whether it was the case anywhere else, thanks for that. Too bad it's still a shitty move, though. :( Outside of DOA4, all I know about Jann Lee is from DOA3.1 and he had some silly frame advantage from...

Isn't Bass' :2 :p+k :p unblockable as well? Or is that only in DOA4?

I thought that was his Fiend Ryu costume, Cyber.

Derp! Yeah, I missed your post on that one. Sorry about that.

A really awesome post DrDogg, I'm happy that you took the time to compile a list of everything that's currently sweet and sour about DOA5 at the moment. A couple things I would like to be clarified, though: If you mean the ability to guard 1 frame before a stun ends, wouldn't that count under...

Well, Power could just mean how easily the character racks up damage. That doesn't necessarily have to mean how much damage per hit they do. Striking? Wild guess - ability to crush, ability to guard break/crush, access to frame advantage on block, access to useful launchers and relaunchers...

Ditto. Well, I think Berzerk! might have alluded to it earlier it but it wasn't specifically the overuse of ellipses.
