    New DOA5 Backdash

    We did consider naming it flash step as well. Then we remembered Bleach. Lol.

    High risk/reward character recommendation

    Seconded on Helena. She's averaging around 3-4 combos to kill. With Jann Lee its 2-3. ... I still like the challenge with her so far though. :)

    Alpha-152 tournament ban poll.

    We are banning her here in Vegas until a TO-friendly way of unlocking her is found. Even then, its a crapshoot. We can't say anything to her balance since not a lot of players have tried her yet. So, technically and at least for now, yes.

    How to fix survival mode?

    FG AI has, is and always will be broken. SC5 Legendary Souls got close to breaking that mold with not reading your inputs but rather storing your favorite inputs, but it was still far from resembling a human opponent.

    New DOA5 Backdash

    This method is VERY possible on pad and stick. It was just easier to illustrate on an HB. :) Keep in mind that this is probably not designed for. Up until 5, Ayane has been the queen of backdashing and movement and I don't think they intended to change that with a... glitchy-esque animation...

    Helena CB game

    These can unfortunately be escaped by any level of stagger escape, assuming the opponent is trying it. Her 7P is that slow, unfortunately. =/ Almost. They cannot critical/counter hold off a sit down stun, which usually means a guaranteed launcher/stun/X move. That said, they can still try to...

    Let's hope this game doesn't get too explicit

    Helena combo thread

    Glad you liked it. Also, as people like Mamba has been saying, one of her best options is to simply launch immediately.You don't always have to go for the full combo -- in fact, it should be done a little more sparingly. While my video demonstrates alternate ways to go into full combo, you...

    DLC coming 10/2

    Did Kokoro just get a Baiken-esque outfit? :o ... she is now part of the team! :D

    New DOA5 Backdash

    Let me or John know: we already found one with Pai's BT stance where she retreats BT-ed. Couldn't find anything noteworthy with Ayane (she spins constantly back and forth... no real use there). I can certainly create a quick smaller follow-up of other applications. On topic: Just because...

    Helena combo thread

    After 7 hours, a combo video for Helena! :) Skip to 1:11 for the combo content AI Settings: - Fast Stagger Recovery - Action: Standing - Reaction: Guard All DISCLAIMERS!!!!: - I do not claim creating these combos -- these are a mix of my own ideas and freestepdodge's content. -...

    New to FSD? Introduce yourself here.

    Hi y'all. New to DoA5 and the series in general. I've been a longtime fan but never picked it up seriously up until now. I'm also a Marvel and SC5 player (some of you might know me from 8wr). Looking to level up in this game :) PSN: soraky

    Good Characters for Spacing?

    Anyone that has the korean-esque backdash is GODLIKE for spacing. It's absurd.

    Sidestep from disadvantage: some questions

    That's not it. If a move is 14 frames, then it takes 14 frames to come out. That said, if an opponent was at -14, then by the time your move comes out, he/she will be in frame 0--thus able to block/crouch/do whatever they want. SO, if an opponent is -4, the throw is not guaranteed because...

    Shimbori's reasoning on weak Helena / Lisa /etc. Your thoughts?

    That's a very... hmm, how should I say, Asian way of thinking. Dates back to ancient times where they fully believe that wits is just as strong, if not stronger than raw power (Confucius 1000 men versus 10000, for example). So I kinda get it. HOWEVER, even if they went for that, I can vouch...

    New DOA5 Backdash

    With the HitBox... its pretty over the top. Lol.

    Black Mamba's Kill Blog

    New ways to go into her rolling stance alone makes Ayane INSANELY good. :) Helena can still wreck someone up pretty easily (100+ damage non CB combos) but it takes a lot more work to get her there. BKO is still her best friend, and her SS moves are very good tools to counterbalance her unsafe...

    Black Mamba's Kill Blog

    The problem with using high stun is its just that -- a high. Whiffed low hold gets them out of it. If she had a mid kick that stunned (you could get away with a KK setup maybe, but that's being really creative), then she'd be much better. That said, 2K+H is virtually guaranteed after 33P or...

    FSD DOA Tournament Suggested Rules

    As a TO, I think this might fit the Marvel approach of 3/5 across everything (including GF). But, too early to call anything.

    Helena combo thread

    Is there a norm on how to test combos? I've been reading that a lot of people set the CPU stagger recovery to at least 'fast' and consider those to be 'virtually guaranteed' combos. Anything else would be a potential reset at best, or so people have said.
