no. it only gets that launch height when her health bar is flashing. Same should probably go for everybody else.

Power launchers are actually pretty useful, and they can do quite a bit more damage than power blows, which i like. The standard one they teach you in training is: 44p+k (charged), 66h+k, 66p, 44p+k (uncharged), 8pp2p or 33p4p. I have found that it's easier to get the timing right of the...

Does anyone else notice a weird pause after Helena lands 2H+K? It's like for a brief second she can't move, and it completely throws me off. One nerf I was very sad to see was how anything that ends in 66p is now -9 like in the launch version of DOA5. And of course, the only things that...

The general rule i follow when it comes to sit down stuns is that if you find out how many frames of advantage you have when your opponent slow escapes as fast as possible, just subtract 2 frames from that number, and any mid or low that falls at or under that number is guaranteed.

I remember when I posted about how parries should have longer recovery due to how easily they could be spammed, everyone disagreed. I'm glad TN is actually listening.

I don't think that's true. 4P should also work. It activates in 14 frames, and is a pretty nice stun. She has an amazing mix up game from backfacing, so that also helps.

I am going to say this again. This poll should be closed, and then a new one should be opened a week after DOA5U comes out. It seriously makes no sense to ban a character in a game that we have spent little time playing. I think she should have been banned in 5, but I am uncertain about 5U...

Since the competitive season for DOA5 is over, it makes no sense to ban a character in a game that we don't know well enough about yet. DOA5U may have buffed her in different areas (such as giving her a knee mix up in her floating stance), but it could have well nerfed her in others. I am...

ScattereDreams is right, for the most part, it doesn't really make sense to use a guaranteed force tech, considering Helena's pseudo force techs are just as good, and for the most part, they don't sacrifice damage. Here is a force tech combo just to help you anyway: Bokuho Throw 9p4k 4k 66k...

In the DOA5U impressions thread, I am not happy with what I am reading. There will be no tool to compensate the loss of her bokuho 6p, that's like asking for a tool to compensate for the hypothetical loss of Christie's sidestepping stance. No equivalency exists. Certain force techs might...

I look around the DOA forums, and I see many Helena players complaining now that her BKO 6p is gone. These are mostly the same people that wanted it gone in the first place. Get over it. If Helena will be low tier because of her 6p nerf, oh well. That's the way you guys wanted it. You guys...

If her BT 2p still force techs, that would be almost just as good. Hope it still does.

thank you ninjaguy. I am not happy that 33p4p wall hits, but other than that, I can accept that BKO 6p no longer FT. I am glad that 66p stuns instead of knocking the opponent down. That move is a great whiff punisher against any kokoro who does 1kkk and then backs away and tries to whiff...

Mamba hasn't played DOA since that tournament where he lost to Calibur Bladez quite a while ago. He might come back to the DOA scene, but I'm not sure. As far as consistency goes, Bladez is the one you should be careful about. ;)

Thank you Ninja Guy. I do have a couple requests if you wouldn't mind. (1) Try and go into sparring, and switch the recovery option to "on" and test to see if 33p4p still connects at the end of a juggle. They nerfed that move in an update for the Playstation if you remember, and then they...

thank you :) I am not on PSN though :( I have been neglecting my Helena and focusing on my Sarah so I don't really use her as much anymore. I need to fix that.

ppk 9pk 4k 6p+k (this move will hopefully be useful in ultimate. it would be cool if it could cause a bounce mid juggle) 44pp2ppk backfacing 7p (very slow escapable)

I don't want any of those costumes, except for the red shoulder pad one. It bewilders me that they have yet to bring back the red color swap for her 2nd costume in DOA5. They did give her a new pirate looking costume in dimensions that I want to see make a return.

It seems like a good idea in theory, but what are you suggesting? Most fighters go the route of making a good portion of a character's moves have such long recovery on block that certain counter attacks are guaranteed during that recovery period. I wouldn't suggest that for DOA because it might...
