He's not even a skinhead, he has a buzzcut. This thread fails on every level.

That sounds awfully familiar. Did they listen to the Virtua Fighter players again? You would guess this would benefit the game, but it looks like it did the opposite again.

Nice,but I don't see how that hints at more characters. It's the only logical way to arrange the roster with the random select box. Symmetry and stuff.

Oh, one more important question: Does her 8p finally have real sidestep properties?

What am I looking at here exactly? Did they change her p+k back to its former glory? That looks like it crushes mids.

Oh well, I really don't like that they're taking options away again after introducing them in earlier builds. But it still looks like she's way more fun to play than in 4 and bursting in three hits is pretty dope. I guess her new parry stance will take a while to master. Especially judging...

Nice video. So, ever since I saw her 2p+k ( looks like it's now also a part of a string with 3p4p) give a rebounce during a juggle (for example at 1:56) I have wondered if you could freecancel after the bounce and follow up with 9kkk, 46p or something like that. I guess that doesn't work, does it?

Man, that really hurts. Dropping her makes me feel like a tier whore, but apparently she plays like a crippled DOA4 character and that just isn't fun with all the new mechanics the game has to offer. I guess, we have to pray that Team Ninja realizes that this is not how a technical character is...

Well, I guess the only option is to make a list with improvement suggestions after release like they did on 8wayrun. This way the characters that really need it like Ryu will get buffs while overpowered characters like Helena and Lisa get what they deserve: nerfs, nerfs, nerfs. I hope they think...

You might want to watch the last minute to see her fight.

Oh, I guess I need glasses.

Mila Armstrong? wut?

Nice video. I really like the improved juggle potential she has in 5. One question though: After the limbo stun you used one strike (6p I think) before using the critical burst. But the opponent could hold the burst attack because of that, couldn't he? Her sitdown stun with the build in backstep...

It has been since DOAD. It's actually quite useful now in my opinion, because not everyone has offensive holds in 5. Plus combo throws are guaranteed now if you have the just frame timing down.

Team Ninja's definition of "technical' is still what bothers me the most. It's not like she has difficult inputs like Akira or Setsuka, but neither does she have a giant movelist that requires constant changing of stances like Ivy's SC4 version. She's just bad and can't use any of the game's new...

Does the :6::6::P::P::P: turn into a combo throw if charged? I think I've seen it say so on the screen, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm really happy about her changes. She looks like so much fun to play now with her evasive moves. Now she only needs her trenchcoat back.

Helena was my main in DOA4, but since it looks like she will play like a dumbed down version of her DOA4 self in 5 and I was already getting bored with her in the last game, I'm probably going to switch my main character this time. And I never really got into tag, so I will need two new...

I wonder if she will have some new go to juggles in DOA5. I've seen her 2p+k give a rebounce during a juggle, but I can't find the video anymore. I think it was during the San Matteo tourney. The only thing about her that I really dislike so far is more of an aesthetic gripe: I hate that they...

I just don't get why Shimbori wrote that he wants the players to use her BKO instead of p+k and then proceeds to nerf her stance. I will definitely give her a chance, but if she plays too much like her DOA4 self just without the ground game (sadly it looks like she does), I probably won't main...

Judging from her stance Mila could also use Judo or Aikido, which I'd prefer her use to be honest. But I guess boxing would fit as some sort of counterpart to Rig who uses a kick heavy style.
