    DOA6 Design Contest 2019

    So how does one exactly vote for these outfits? Is it just a matter of liking on Twitter or is there/will there be formal polling?

    I will keep an eye on it. I'm a fan of board games and was very skeptical when I heard Riot Games made their own board game, Mechs vs. Minions. However, once I got the chance to play it, I was sold on it. You can tell the people who made the game are avid board gamers themselves. It remains to...

    Awesome. I'm still exploring the roster and quick summary videos that explain the general way each character plays would be really helpful. I like your in-depth videos but sometimes it's just nice to get a general overview, play with the character a bit and then watch the in-depth guide to help...

    Early steps of the ladder

    Played for a couple more hours on PS4 last night and was able to make it to C+. Fought a good mix of people with only one repeat. Also starting to fight more B ranked players. The most difficult fights were against a B ranked Nyotengu that blew me up and a C+ Hitomi player that was just solid. I...

    Early steps of the ladder

    Yup, gotta get comfortable on that roller-coaster of wins and loses. Little by little it gets a bit easier as long as you keep playing.

    Early steps of the ladder

    No worries. I appreciate the responses but I'm not expecting people to play psychologist for me. Part of the reason I started this thread is precisely because I'm certain there are more people like me. People that really want to play online but anxiety prevents them from doing so. Part of it is...

    Early steps of the ladder

    It's not my rank or the rate at which I'm gaining rank that is the problem. It is purely a psychological issue not related to the game. It is thinking that your successes are a hoax and that defeat is proof of that hoax. Every time I win, I get some satisfaction out of it. But a little voice in...

    Early steps of the ladder

    Yup, I'm exactly the same way. The better I do, the more anxiety sets in for the next match. God forbid I end the day on a decent streak then I'll REALLY struggle to pick up the game on the following day. But if I'm getting destroyed then its fine because I should be getting beat since I'm not...

    Thanks. I'm gonna have to. She's the character I have the worst win-rate against. I'm going to watch some replays, take notes of the moves and strings that troubled me and check them out in the training room.

    Thanks. Makes sense.

    Thanks for confirming. Then my suspicion was incorrect.

    DOA newbie needs some help

    As a fellow new-to-DOA-and-also-C-ranked player, I have very little advice to give. But I wanted to let you know that I share your struggle. I also find that my opponents are able to apply an incredible amount of pressure that forces me defensive. It feels like their strings are never ending nor...

    Early steps of the ladder

    That was very impressive movement. Looked like DOA playing in fast-forward. It'll be a while before I'm anywhere near that. Guarding too much is also one of the issues I'm tackling. Need to strike the right balance between aggression and defense. But the more I learn my character's moves, the...

    Early steps of the ladder

    Thanks for reading. That's the worst feeling. Really wanting to play but yet there's that underlying feeling of dread. Gets a bit better every time I play though.

    Early steps of the ladder

    Hmm.. Yeah so far my thinking has been pretty binary: either I'm in a deep stun or I'm not. Not really factoring in if I'm in NH, CH or HiC state. I'll have to be mindful of that in order to determine how much I have to risk holding. Thanks. I know I started this thread with a wall-of-text but...

    Two questions...

    Excellent. I understand. Yeah, I had no clue strikes were prioritized this way. One more piece of the puzzle.

    Early steps of the ladder

    You know what? I never put those two together but it makes perfect sense now that you mention it. I don't try to hold out of everything, only when I'm reasonably certain I know what's coming next. But it never occurred to me how this scenario creates a beneficial situation for my opponent...

    Two questions...

    Thanks. I suspected active frames was one of them but did not know about level priority. So if I'm understanding you correctly, if a high and a mid connect at the same time and are identical in attributes except for one being a high and the other being a mid, the high always wins out? What...

    Two questions...

    Great. Thank you for the detailed response. I'm good on the speed part and being at (dis)advantage. I'm sure there are characters with specialized attacks like you mentioned but this is an over-arching problem I have that is not specific to a match-up. I think power is the one I'm not factoring...

    Two questions...

    I have two unrelated questions, if anyone can help me out: 1. Is there a way to see the quality of your own connection? I'm playing wired and it should be decent but I would like to know how many bars it comes up as. 2. Is there a guide or documentation on how clashing attacks are prioritized...
