I'm glad to hear about the Steam patch, I have the PS4 core fighters version I don't play much since it's really hard to find matches in EU, and I don't like lobbies much. Hopefully DOA5 PC will be active and I'll try to get back into the game, besides there are no lobbies so it's all ranked...

Funny to see this, I've gone back to Helena and doing so much better now. Shes so incredibly limited with no mid-low mixups and trash reach, she's bottom pit tier for me, and believe me I tried. I hope TN rebalances her, I'm not touching honoka until then.

Thanks a lot, treating it as two moves has indeed helped, but I still can't seem to get it to an acceptable level.

I really need help to do 2p+k,46+p consistently, the Elliot version I think, supposedly the key is 6+p, but I have issues to nail both at the same time with PS4 dpad, and even then it comes out maybe 1/10 times at best. Supposedly it's her best combo ender, but I can't get it to work. Any...

Well anything that I say would be redundant. I'll probably keep playing doa in any case, at least until t7 or sfv come out. Even though I sound negative, I really like the game, simply there are mechanics that I'm not fond of. I think argentus nailed it, I'm probably more on the execution...

another thing I hate of this game is that if you guess wrong, you add a lot of damage to the combo you get, basically building a touch of death combo that can take more than half your life, something I absolutely hate in any fighter

well it's not a new system, but not being ever to be able to be in control of a combat. Even with perfect knowledge of the game, sooner or later you will be stunned, so sooner or later you will face a 1/5 guess.Since you can free cancel almost every string, you can never 100% assure a read, so...

well I won't insist, I'm glad you people enjoy this system as it is, but for me I'm not liking it at all.

Eaxctly my point when you say "on read". I already said that learning every move highly reduces those odds, but that means that defending in this game is in most cases just an act of pure memorizing over skill, which basically asks you to learn thousands of strings to be able to react on read...

Yeah but not 5 to 1 chance to get you out of stun, I don't think there are other fighters with that defense ratio, most 2d games you only have to guess high/low, and like synce says, almost everything stuns, so you're constantly playing the stun game in doa.

I've trying to learn doa5lr since release and this game seems way too random for me. Basically, every time you're stunned, and that the basis of doa, you have a 5 way guess (4 counters, stagger escape). That's just too many options to simply defend yourself. The only way to improve your odds...

Cool, great to hear. She's a lot of fun to play but I had to warn you about the pros and cons, I hope you share any new tech you may find. I have uploaded a few vids to my channel here just in case you want to see how I play her, nothing fancy but it can be useful as a starting point...

iHajinShinobi believes she's good, and he's a top player so you should listen to him. Check his guide here for her: http://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/honoka-video-tutorial-by-hajinshinobi.5569/ I've been maining her from day one and I would say she's mid tier at best. My biggest problem with...

I'm testing youtube uploads from ps4, so here's a vid of me playing Honoka, I'll welcome any suggestions about what can I do to improve.

I've playing with the BKH stance and I've seen that with pp2k on hit, you can actually hold up to re-stand and punch safely, at least against another Honoka dummy I couldn't mash P or 6P against it, so it would open a mixup with BKH 6P that stuns (though it can be safe escaped), and it's on...

Amazing write up. I'm Spanish so I can't help with this. I've considered talking to our biggest tournament here, Sonic Boom Madrid, to include doa5, but I'm completely clueless about this, so I'm open to suggestions. Still I've been thinking about the boobs issue for quite some time. I believe...

Wow :o

I wish I knew, I didn't have the pre order bonus, I'll get it when it hits the store

60 fps stable? Surface Pro 2, 3? That would make me get one for sure.

Yeah ive been using 4k and it's great, by far the best tool at mid-close range. I like p+k, p+k for getting in too, beats lots of pokes, gives you a great stun on CH and you can mixup 6t or another p+K when close.
