That's exactly what they are saying, Mike -_-

Definitely wasn't displayed in DOA4 (except in Training Mode).

Now that's an interesting discussion, thanks for the input guys :) Just something I'd like to check we all agree with. As long as you got enough frame advantage, DOA's throw vs Hit = Hit wins. DOA's OH vs Hit = OH wins. Any 3D FG's grab vs Hit = Grab wins. ... starting to see a pattern here ...

Please, do say. What do you believe is wrong in what I said ? Specifically.

That's the definition of a grab in any competitive FG, and that's what DOA4's OHs were. I know the difference very well ... how were DOA4's OHs any different than grabs in any FG ? The difference may be that you could get thrown during an OH in DOA. Then again, since there are no throws in...

But they are. How do you call an unblockable attack (that could be avoided by crouching or jumping) that gets priority on any other slower move ? Well, that's what a grab is. You just described a grab. Thanks for proving my point. DOA4 had grabs for ALL characters, which was a definite step...

About sitdown stuns and unholdable stuns in general : I am the only one thinking removing universal OHs is actually a step backwards ? I mean, ok DOA4 did a lot of things wrong, but the OH mechanics did add depth to the game, in my opinion. Say the opponent decided to slow escape the stun...

Also, let's not forget he's not actually directing DOA5, unlike NG3. Of course he probably still has some control to an extent, that's why I do hope he will just wise up and let Shimbori do his thing.

Nicole I guess ? But since she aint coming back... By the way Rikuto, does Bayman have an air throw this time around ? Also, as you're playing this character, do you think it would be an interesting addition to his moveset ?

Yeah, seems like French people are getting the E3 build. Still, might be the occasion to give more screentime to characters such as Lei Fang, Kokoro or Zack who didn't get much screentime during IPL.

Please don't get the wrong idea. I'm actually following every single conversation you guys have been having and I do believe you're right in wanting the game to be more competitive - or at least less random. Sarcasm was my way of saying there are probably other ways to make the game viable...

Maybe the point of the series is to be a terrible competitive fighter. Yeah I know, it's kinda hard to admit, but think about it for a sec. DOA was all about being a more accessible Virtua Fighter right from the start, just look at DOA1, it was basically a poor man's VF.

Yeah, you shouldn't be able to slow escape out of stuns. Any of them. What's the deal with slow escaping anyway ? What a dumb mechanic, why suddently give players an alternative to defensive holds ? DOA4 was such a crappy game. Shouldn't be able to escape stuns, at all. Oh but then stuns would...

Definitely, I was just voicing my disappointment. Their decision does make sense, but it would have been more professionnal to translate the whole thing as it was part of the interview. Oh well, guess I'll work out my rusty Japanese and try to read it by myself.

Well... screw DOA fans I guess. That's too bad, seemed like an interesting interview.

I may be wrong, but to my understanding, Kasumi-α became Alpha152. They are the same person, she just evolved between DOA2 and DOA4. At least that's how it looked like in DOAD.

You got a link to the interview/video w/e in which he said that ?

Translation and choice of words are odd, I wouldn't really rely on this interview. What's clear is they aren't doing paid DLC characters, but hearing their stance on the DLC character concept, they didn't come off as actually being into it, since they would mention how it hurts balance. So...

Isn't that what she actually did ? I seem to remember her fight with Kasumi took place before she faced Hayate and Ayane on the heliport. I still believe Donovan will the boss though... probably got possessed by that evil mask thing he took at the end of DOAD.

She's definitely coming back, but she might not be the actual boss, since she already had that role in 4. Would be redundant. She's probably going to be a sub boss. My bet is on Donovan if DOAD's ending is anything to go by.
