Leifang no longer existed? My dream come true :D

:9::P::K: is a great launcher against those who love to mid-hold out of stun.

Hitomi's punch parry (9H) is a "special move", although Lei Fang also has a punch parry now, but only from a stance. Regarding the low kick counter hold, does anybody have some good strategies off of it? I usually do 6K2K, but that is kind of low damage and can be countered after the opponent...

On XBL I've played like 1 match against Gen Fu. Seriously. And his character forum is very empty too. If he's considered top-tier, why won't people use him? Age-racism?

It's just that certain individuals here seem to see every thread as an opportunity to bash the game's core mechanics and spew out negativity. It makes me feel like a bunch of Tekken fanboys have invaded the community in an effort to undermine it. The core mechanics ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE, so it...

Zack's BEAM should definitely do damage, it's so cool looking and all, what a dissapointment that it doesn't hurt :(

They closed the stream while they're preparing the big canvas, or so they said. About an hour ago. They played some casuals... I don't think the finals have started yet, unless the stream moved someplace else.

I don't like the way people use the word "guess" in these forums. It makes DOA sound like a random game, comparable to, say, slots in a casino. In reality with good players those guesses are educated, so the game compares better to poker, where skill is more important than luck.

I disagree with TRI Mike and agree with Brute. The game is just fine, needs only minor tweaks in character balance. Definately no guaranteed damage after a parry. Come on that would effectively make the parry a super-powered counter, there's a reason parries give minimal damage.

Hey I thought I just did something wrong, good to hear this has to do with the game. I pull out Bayman's 6P+H more often than the 46P+H I'm trying. I wonder what the problem is...

I don't know, I'll take a look into it tomorrow.

Yes, this is an excellent method. I would so much like if veteran players would post their matches (even online ones) in the character subforums.

Yes, you're right. We should call inexperienced players newbies and reserve the word scrub for bad players who have attitude problems. Good players with attitude problems are called douchebags I believe. :-)

It's a valid point that many newbies and scrubs read these forums, notice that Jann Lee is considered a top-tier character, and pick him. This translates to many scrubs online playing with Jann Lee, which translates to a less enjoyable experience because I have to face an unproportionate amount...

Helena, but mainly because she was used by Omegan E. Lisa, she's so evasive.

It seems that the ranked-playing population is bigger here in Europe than on your hemisphere. Usually at worst I have to wait like 5-10 minutes for an opponent, and on a good night less than 30 seconds on average.

There's a simple way to see whether it's related to xbox live or to DOA5. Try to form a party with your friends: if successful, the problem is related to the game. If not, it's related to the ADSL-router and you can try out my advice. And naturally if you get an error message while testing out...

Okey people, this problem is probably related to your ADSL-router/modem and xbox Live. I had it, and fixed it after lots of trial and error. First, you need to check your xbox network connection. Go to the dashboard, system and network settings. Run the test for the xbox live connection. If...

I think that since it doesn't require any changes in the graphics or user interface, they could easily change the ranking system so that it would be easier to lose points. S-level grades should not be achievable by simply playing alot. The only thing bad in the DOA4-system was that it was too...

Spam low counters eh? Defends agains high grabs and OH:s. OH:s aren't invincible, fast pokes (e.g. PP) can interrupt them during start-up frames, and of course regular throws lose to all strikes. Learn to read your opponents patterns, when s/he likes to interrupt his string and go for an OH...
