I think that's an awesome idea. I, for one, would very much like to participate. I have so much respect for the pro fighters and I'd truly welcome any opportunity to get a bit better at the series.

Thanks :) And yeah, it's true what you say about getting whipped by the really good players. It's definitely a learning experience. It's always a real joy to get a true pro turn up in your lobby. I remember when DOA4 was first released, there was this one asshole in my lobby that was...

I've loved all of the previous DOA titles, including 4. I know that a lot of the pro's hate 4 because of it's technical failings, but I guess as a fairly casual fighter, it didn't affect me all that much. I love them all really, for different reasons. DOA 1 is just a classic, end of debate...

Nice meeting you guys. Great introductions :) hope to see some of you around on XBL (those who are on 360) sometime!

It wasn't so much that I couldn't play with her...I just couldn't play with her in the same way, and I found that I didn't enjoy it as much. For me, the enjoyment of fighting is a different thing to the ability. I've always been better with some characters than others, but don't particularly...

I'm planning on using them all, but I'll be sticking to my mains of Hitomi, Christie ans Bayman for the most part. I'll probably give Rig and Mila some serious consideration too. Rig is looking awesome so far, and if DrDogg is as confident about Mila as he seems to be, then she could well be a...

Perhaps they were worried about alienating the casuals and newcomers by making it too technical..? For example, the hold system has always been one of DOA's signature mechanics...perhaps the thought that by making holds 5 frames instead of 30, or whatever it is, they were effectively removing...

Everything about Streets of Rage was awesome! So far, I like most of the stages. I am a little disappointed with the transitions and lack of stairs/slopes/great heights.

Hah! Well, I'm going to be playing on Xbox - GT is Riizch if you ever fancy a match!

I get the impression that when TN went into development with DOA5, they did so with a vision of a bold, new direction for the game, which was centred around competitive play, but as the development process has progressed, they've started losing that confidence and are reverting back towards the...

Thanks, Allan. Nice to meet you, by the way. Honestly, I've been a casual in DOA for over a decade, and I finally decided that DOA5 was going to be the one where i take my game to the next level. I'm not so deluded as to think that I'll ever be a true pro player, but I'd like to at least be able...

I've only played the alpha build, but that felt really fast to me. The animation is noticeably smoother. I find the 60fps videos are markedly faster than the 30fps ones that most of us see on YouTube, so maybe that's giving an illusion that the game is slower. Either way, it's looking smooth and...

Home is my favourite. Scramble and Circus are my least favourite. I find them to be a little too "busy" and distracting. And I have to say that the constant alarm at the bottom of the scramble stage does my head in!

I'm from the UK, but don't hold it against me.

Hello! I'm pretty new here. I'm a huge DOA fan, but somewhat lacking in skills compared to the majority of y'all on here. I'm fairly competent with my knowledge and understanding of the game mechanics, but my inability to put that knowledge into practice is borderline ridiculous. So yes...

For what it's worth, I'm pretty crap at DOA, so if any of you guys fight against me online, you can use Helena regardless of her tier and make her look invincible...

I'm sure there are plenty of positives to be found with Helena. I think looking for them is the best way forward for anyone who's a Helena fan. As I said in the Helena improvements thread, I think TN made a big mistake in highlighting all the negatives and the things that they've taken away...

I know you can't say too much about the game's current state, DrDogg, but are you able to tell us if there is any realistic chance of her being buffed/balanced in time for release, or are we going to be hoping for a post-release patch..?

I'd still be excited for it, definitely. I've always been excited for every new DOA iteration, even though we've essentially had the same character models (albeit slightly improved) for well over a decade and the same core gameplay right the way through from DOA2 - DOA4.

Obviously Bryan knows his shit, and if he says that Helena is lame, then it obviously gives us cause for concern. But that said, I think there's a big difference between her being lame and nowhere near as good as she was in DOA4 and being effectively broken and worthless, as a lot of people seem...
