It's things like this that can balance out tier-wars. Higher-tier characters will typically see more overall use, soit can get easy to pickup on the matchup just through playing against the same damn character 1200 times (Hi, Wesker.), thus limiting the effectiveness of their plans. A...

Akira/Pai because of JF training. Christie, Leifang, and runner-up Brad for gimmick mastery. Ryu for Izuna timing and tool mastery.

I tend to opt for... unconventional taunts. In DOA5, I tend to sidestep madly as Mila or just spin as Ayane. The few times I play as Brad and win a set, I enter his lying stance. In SC5, I have pre-designated taunts for situations with every character I play: Pat/Pyrrha/OPyrrha: 8B+K in case...

If it's 2D, I tend to main dudes, but add a dimension and suddenly I'm maining girls. 2D mains: SF: Ryu/Akuma, add Jin and Ken for xTK. BB: Ragna and Jin. GG: Sol and Ky. P4A: Yu. MK: Stryker/Smoke. 3D mains: SC: Cassandra/Seung Mi-Na pre-5, Pat/OPyrrha/Natsu in 5. TK: Asuka/Steve, only...

Well, the other issues lie in my personal life and a lack of overall devotion to truly mastering a character. Well, I'll give it a look at.

I acknowledge that tiers exist, but when I find a character I like playing, it doesn't matter if it's a 5-5 or an 2-8 against me, I'll stick with them. It just makes any win that much sweeter. I'd lose a lot of money this way, so I don't attend tournaments.

Let's see here: Soul Calibur (forever my main series) SCIII: Cassandra (main), Mi-Na, Siegfried (super-casual) SCIV: Cassandra (main), Mi-Na, Raphael, Kilik SCV: Patroklos (most overall knowledge, want to be main), Pyrrha Omega (highest W/L ratio online... *sigh*), Pyrrha, Raphael, Siegfried...

My first exposure to DOA was with videos of 4 on Youtube. Not having a massive interest in fighting games for most of my early gaming years probably saw to that. With SC4, Blazblue, and MVC3 getting me interested, I looked on Youtube for DOA4 videos... and I think I only saw competitive...

I use Helena at the moment. Karen Strassman + French accent = good times.

Well, now that I've invested some time playing characters and learning me some story, I can give my current lists of faves. Faves to play: 1: Mila (nothing new to say) 2: Ayane (current secondary, trickier to play, but her moves look swagtastic) 3: Zack (I know haters be hating, but he's so...

So...Ayane = high tier, Ayane's back = god tier?

I think what Solid_Altair was saying was that he would like DOA to have just guards, guard impacts, guard breaks, unblockable attacks, AND holds. I could be wrong...

... Damn! I've been found out! Retreat! And yes, I realize her backturn game is f**king awesome. Why else would she be my secondary?

Hayabusa + Izuna Drop hold says hello. I do believe that Ayane is meant to be like the Ken to Kasumi's Ryu, just as Hayabusa is the Ken to Hayate's Ryu... and Hayate/Hayabusa are the Akuma to Kasumi/Ayane's Ryu/Ken from a gameplay perspective. They all share a similar feel in their fighting...

Repetition, repetition, repetition. Watch the command demo, try to work out the timing, and go to it. Eventually, you should get it.

I've said this before. I'll say it again. This is my first DOA game, and it has surpassed my expectations. Firstly, for once in my none-too-long history with fighting games, my main IS the character I got the best vibes from in the trailers (thanks, Mila!), but at the same time, there isn't...

Considering that people STILL hate on the series for its wonderfully sculpted women, why not? Put Hayate, Eliot, and Bayman in speedos, then see if people complain about the depreciation of women or whatever. ... Nah, they'll complain about Yuri Lowenthal 'porting his junk near your face.

Amen, brudda. I kinda wish the age slider was back, too. BTW, first poster, what's wrong with the Christie DLC? It's hardly the worst offender in fighting game history *cough*MK9Mileena*cough*.

Seitokai No Ichizon, Acchi Kochi, FMP... Okay, I like my comedy with a little bit of deeper thinking...

I'm sure I stated this on some other forum, but this is the first DOA I found interesting. I've always been willing to overlook the overwhelming jabs at it just being a fanservice fighter, but the visuals themselves never sat right with me. The characters, short of Ryu, Hitomi, and Kokoro, just...
