Is there an archive for what happened before the finals?

When I have a problem with a match up I try to, at least, do command training with the character I'm having trouble with in order to at least know what's coming.

When DOA5 arrived and some people at VFDC started playing it I read one of them (maybe rodnutz) said something like "in DOA the advantage/disadvantage system from VF is not the core of the system, It's substituted by the stun system". I didn't at the time understand what he meant. Now I...

I hope Team Ninja doesn't listen to guys like Max Drago. His arguments are so nonsensical. For example: "Leifang isn't broken, but she is so freaking broken. Why'd they make her so good in the first place? Because Shimbori likes her"

My mains are tipically old farts...Shun Di and Gen Fu...Something wrong with me probably if I find old guys attractive instead of young girls...(In DOA I use lots of characters though, in this order: Gen Fu, Pai, Eliot, Kokoro, Helena and Leifang)

Physics are not the problem. Damage is.

I think this is a good idea. Lighter characters get juggled higher, heavier characters should fall harder.

I know. Fucking wake up kicks have too much stun if they hit. If I get the spacing right I can punish a whiffed wake up kick with 6P+K which causes a gut crumple (they can hold from...) and can lead to a combo. The problem is sometimes I don't get the spacing right and I'm the one who gets...

Just in to say: Great thread title! Hassan-i Sabbāh FTW

So, what would be the way of getting out of the situation, if any?

I've had something similar happen to me fighting a guy from Brazil. 90% of my inputs didn't come out. If an outside party had seen the match he would have thought I was dumb or something. A guy just getting hit and doing nothing about it.

In these situations, throwing out holds is usually worthless. That's what your opponent wants. I usually try to slow escape and block but I seem to suck at slow escaping anyway.

So, any news about the date for this patch? Is this going to be something like DOA5 ver.2013 with a dec.2012 release? I can't wait!

What about low crushes?

The air grab reset is just perfect to throw the opponent off. I prefer to use 6PPP (to slam the opponent on the ground and have him close for oki) instead of 6PPP+K (sending the opponent away).

I'm guessing it was Virtua Fighter + Japan that started it. But it's just a guess, I have no clue. Wasn't VF the first one running at 60 FPS?

There must be something wrong with the replays anyway. I checked one from Buddah and sometimes both characters were just standing there doing nothing. It made no sense.

Considering Team Ninja is going for the "human" feel on the characters of DOA5 I think Ein, Leon, Radiou and Shiden would have the best chance, while Tengu (creature), Alpha (clone), Genra (Armor) would not make the cut.

This makes me feel a little better about my crappy win rate. :) I wonder how I'd do on PSN. Not buying a PlayStation any time soon though.

So, are there better players in general on Xbox? I heard a similar thing from a top VF player. He had a 95% on PSN and an 85% on XBL.
