    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    How should I put this... All unblockable attacks are high jumping linear kicks. Hold them, sidestep them, DUCK them or crush them. IIRC, only Jann Lee, Pai and Eliot have those kicks, and they aren't as useful as you think. Definitely a tool not everyone needs. Save it for some characters only...

    Something you don't know: I'm one of those people who can each as much as they can without gaining weight. Super metabolism rocks.

    Any source regarding this? Ein's is confirmed, but I haven't seen Kasumi's yet.

    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    Yeah. He's nowhere near hybrid status like Mila, Hayabusa and Leifang, so why would he get one in the first place? The tools he has currently are sufficient for the time being.

    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    I agree, force techs deserve their own category. Probably the only out of DOA4 which I think is useful to the game competitively. since it does encourage aggressive playstyles. If I had to comment on Ein getting an Offensive Hold...the main question would be if he actually needs it. Ein is...

    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    Last I recalled, no. Members were talking about Offensive Holds and parries, IIRC, and merely stated character tools as examples and how to make them a bit more viable for each character to make it a legit tool (e.g. in Eliot's case, to increase parry frame advantage). No one has stated a...

    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    Holds disrupt the opponent's attack flow. That in itself should the main reason players use holds, not for damage. The damage buff on holds shouldn't change...anything. I'd rather recovery on ALL hold heights be nerfed instead of limiting it to low holds only.

    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    I actually like force techs because it is an excellent pressure and offensive tool, but to balance it out, nothing after a force tech is guaranteed. It's just pure frame advantage. And people use it because wake-up kicks (not sure about other wake up attacks) have invincibility frames, and...

    Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate General Discussion

    So charcters who received damage nerfs like Kokoro and Jann Lee will be even weaker. WTF Team Ninja. WTF.

    Will you be buying DOA5U?

    The free DLC costumes aren't available in the F2P version? That...really sucks. Guess I'll be getting retail after all.

    New "Game Changing" Combos?

    I didn't mind the hit effects or the Power Blow (because it did feel just as fluid), but Power Launchers ruin that fluidity. What's with that ridiculous spinning animation?

    New "Game Changing" Combos?

    Not only that, it looks awkward as fuck. Wasn't DOA supposed to be about fluid animations that look somewhat realistic? Same with the new stun states. C'mon, animation team. Aesthetics count. A lot.

    Will you be buying DOA5U?

    Well, seriously, speaking, I'll just get Core Fighters, then purchase Hitomi, Kokoro, Sarah, Helena, Ein and Momiji.

    Will you be buying DOA5U?

    Title says Will I be buying DOA5U. Is this a trick question?

    The Official Dead or Alive 5 Tier List with Discussion thread

    I'd say she's even with Christie. Hitomi isn't linear, if at all, with a huge abundance of mid and low single-hit tracking moves (2KK, 2H+K, 2P+K, 4P, 1P, etc.) as well as in-string, thus shutting down JAK. And while yes, Hitomi does have generally weak lows, her 1K mixups are more than enough...

    Dayum. I can see why they did it, but c'mon Microsoft. At least put some ye ol' faith into your own console.

    To be honest, I think the PS3 has much better exclusives than the 360.
