Why is Kasumi suddenly getting loads of offensive holds?

A most entertaining and interesting stream. Congratulations to MASTER, big thank yous to Rikuto, Mystik, DrDogg and Team Ninja.

The fact that Bass' attack still didn't evade anything was said at the beginning of their discussion. If UK left still thinking it was terrible then he couldn't have stuck around to hear how it'd been buffed to be +8 on block again.

You apparently didn't stick around. It DOES give you +8 advantage again - Rikuto and DrDogg were very quick to point that out.

The stream on FSD is so much smoother than the one on DOAW.

Oh, okay. I still don't like the 'Power Blows only under 50% health' thing myself, though. Stop acting like trip stuns are everywhere. They're not. And if you get hit by a slow telegraphed move like that on a counter hit, then you deserve every point of damage you take from the followup...

The ability to do over 50% of your life with no or next-to-no chance for a hold is broken? This looks familiar... The game entirely ending up being based around one strategy of fishing for a particular setup all day? That's even more familiar... The capacity for every character to do this is...

Why, hello, Rikuto. :D @DriftSlave: I know my name's not Rikuto, but I'm positive about the answer to these two: You have to get your opponent to the end of the stun threshold to pull one off, so yes, technically they have to be in critical state. No. It's explicitly stated it's not...

The best example is trying to pull off DOA4 Hayate's Raijin. You cannot do just the first part of the input on it own, as it's a full circle; you'll only end up jumping. So you have to buffer it. You can do that with a simple two-jab string, :p :p, which stops you from jumping and lets you...

All this talk makes me very optimistic. It'd be quite epic, would it not, after many years gone by and a thriving DOA tournament scene going on, to point out the success that was DOA5 to a newcomer and say, "Hey, I had a hand in that." Well, I probably couldn't but I could at least say, "Hey...

I did not know this. I'll try and remember it the next time I hop on DOA4 and bite off more than I can chew.

How would you guys define ragequitting in DOA? I don't ever quit right before I lose a match, but I'll still get called out by my brother if he's watched me lose repeatedly and quit right as the match starts because my opponent refuses to go back to the lobby and let me leave peacefully. It's...

I am so happy to read all of this. I'm loving all the new changes so far, especially the frame advantage on a combo throw break. The striking characters might get unbreakable throws but now grapplers can still rock the house with their down-to-earth ones. The nerf to the wakeup game is pleasing...

One of the first things I noticed is that twice in the vid, Akira manages to ground bounce the opponent from an air-juggle. I've never played Tekken at all but looks remarkably similar to it to me.

Nobody else thinks it's broken because of that either. It's less generous odds to the ATTACKER. The defender is going to enjoy greater odds at just weaseling his way out of every situation the attacker will put him into. So now you have less reason to bother attacking in the first place.

Shit's going down in FSD today.

I know that Tengu is missing his black-coloured garb and Ein doesn't have his costume with the red pants and chains. Not sure about the rest.

Actually, you can't tech the low throw any more, so I'm fairly sure it's safe to use now.

It's pretty funny how people here talk through posting separate status messages, of all things.

A challenger approaches - it's RuNNing Riot! Glad to be here. :) I'm a British 18-going-on-19-year-old Sixth Form student, with a preference for the slow powerhouses in fighting, with Bass and Bayman as my mains. Some of you might have seen me around on DOAWorld; I migrated over from there...
