It's been suggested to them to ensure that when an opponent misses a counter hold and is hit before the end of recovery, they should be considered in the second stage of counter hit stun - so skipping forward 1 step in the stun game. This would be a great improvement to the stun system by...

Can you explain why ranking doesn't mean anything? I myself cannot find any ranked matches at all and play in lobbies after inviting other Australians

When was the last MK9 and P4A 100+ major? And then you have VF5FS, that DID get over 100, AT EVO last year, and wasn't selected.

Even with the lack of stagger escape attempting big combos is not low risk, you're still throwing out attacks that can be blocked, sidestepped and punished. If you get your hit in you may not get a counter hit, you may be counter held, you may be counter held when you extend the stun (even if it...

Traveling to tournaments isn't just for the tournament. If you like the game rnough to post here you'll benefit from joining the community at an event. Like going to a convention for any interest, you see cool things and hang out wih like minded people who are into what you're into. On the...

Asking politely is good of course, but we should be openly volunteering knowledge, training, information where we can.

The original post is essentially right... we need to share info, not sandbag. More people with more knowledge means better players Better players means better representation of the game. Not all of us have had time to put together videos or text guides, but check the character sections, there...

If you are a player saying "these combos are big, and that's scary" but you're new enough to not know how to stagger escape anyway - it is an intermediate skill after all - then you could have been hit by it all along. You still have spacing and movement, your own attacks - and a block button...

Correcting the notion that the patch is for the online crowd or offline. Wrong premise. Its for both in different parts. All if the balancing is so the game can play better competitively. Competitive means offline at tournaments. The rest is bug fixes and streamlining online play. Everyone...

If you can't travel you can still make an offline scene in your own town. Especially if people gather for fighting games of any kind to begin with. Step up to the plate! It's not hard to take your console and monitor to your local BYO and invite people to join you for some games. Be friendly...

Super turbo... wtf http://shoryuken.com/2013/01/30/evo-2013-donation-drive-standings-and-rule-update/ Someone must have made an angel donation the last few days. Strangely its not listing it the same way here http://shloubfree.free.fr/evo.php Don't stop donating, lets at least knock over...

Bollocks! Home does not need to be removed from rotation and there is no logic in suggesting such a thing. One character's back starts to the wall? So what, did you forget: You can move before the round starts Stages are selected randomly in tournaments and are best out of 3, so you will never...

I maintain, the game will be fine with SE in EXCEPT for Sit Down stuns. That's a particular subset of moves they can control the frames for, and players can practice and work into their game, as ways to get guaranteed damage.

Thats right and they all beat the pants off the "best" Japanese players. US DOA - you know who the top players are - are better than the Japanese. I agreed that an arcade version of DOA would do it good, but thats for the perception and credibility, with the opportunity to pull players who...

I wouldn't say blankly that the Japanese like doa4 over 5 in the context of a hypothetical arcade release. The arcade players in Japan are a different breed and would have their own perspective. It would make sense just to build their base and their credibility to do a Jpn only arcade version...

Bump, there will be a DOA5 side tournament at the first major of the year: here http://ohn.ozhadou.net.au DIY schedule to be confirmed, will update with an event thread when its ready

If you're based in sydney watch for DOA side tourney here http://ohn.ozhadou.net.au

In Australia? Check the thread! http://freestepdodge.com/threads/aussie-players-report-in.1778/ If you're in Sydney at the end of Feb there will be a DOA side tourney here http://ohn.ozhadou.net.au

Other games have stagger escape, notably Virtua Fighter, but ONLY certain stuns are SE able. (Look for the waggling stick icon that comes up now and then). There's no reason DOA couldn't keep its unique flavour completely, and still tighten things up by removing SE from certain stuns. So it...

EVO drive: latest results: http://shoryuken.com/2013/01/21/evo-2013-donation-drive-standings-and-rule-update/ We are right there in 4th place (third if you discount MLP) There is a LOT to be said for having the game show up high in the rankings, even if we don't win. Winning is STILL...
