    Trouble with speed (Christie & Kasumi)

    Seriously, I need help on this match up. I can honestly believe that at best this is a 4-6 match up in their favor. Any help at all with these two will be a plus for me. What do you do at round 1 fight? When at disadvantage? During string extensions? In general, you won't land many normal...

    Bass changes for v1.02

    I just noticed this and it's something I know was in the Summer Jam build and I believe was still in v1.01. But Kitchen Sink no longer causes ground slam, as in it won't send someone through destructible floor such as the grates on the Oil Rig or the floor of Home. Anyone else notice anything...

    Bass Okizeme

    We already know about his :2::h+p: game, but is there anything we can get out of opting for a 'pick-up' via attack in the same situations? I'm trying to see if he has any set-ups that would be viable? Facts about :2::H+P:: 7i ground throw Does 0 damage Leaves Bass at +11 on front-turned (FT)...

    Air throw off Wall Crumple?

    So I've been trying to find instances where Bass can get his :h+p: air throw off of a wall slam. It's difficult due to his recovery, and if you watch my match videos you'll see me hitting :3::k: a lot into the wall and just doing the follow-up punch. That's because :3::k: has too much recovery...

    The magic of 1P

    Most Bass players know the old tried and true method of CH 1P leading directly into TFBB right when the opponent recovers. But in DOA5 there's now an additional benefit: The TFBB is not the only 12i throw, and since he now has others, they can equally be used in the same situation. The other...

    66K on Breakable Wall/Danger Zone

    So fun stuff that I could use fellow Bass players' help with if they get the time. So you all know the love that 66K brings right? It puts Bass back-turned after a guard break. Did you know that you have 7K perform his best launcher from BT? Of course you did. Let's say we put the two...

    Event Reminder: Battlefield Arcadia (Bronx, NY)

    I was browsing through our event calendar and noticed an event happening in Virtuapai's backyard. Seeing no replies I was wondering if anyone missed the event announcement. Dead or Alive 5 will be featured as one of the four games in a tournament for the night at Battlefield Arcadia this...

    Dead or Alive 5 has been out for over a week now, giving many players some time to pick up on some strategies in the forums and with each other.

    "Team NINJA Learns to Fear its Fans"

    Gamasutra recently put up an article interviewing Yohei Shimbori about understanding a series' fans when developing a game. This is probably a big reason as to why "swimsuits" and "pin-up models" made a return to the series after early interviews stated they wanted a more mature look for the...

    Dead or Alive 5 - Known Bugs/Glitches

    In order to sort of reign in on all of the threads, it would be best for us to sort of provide information on issues found in the game. This isn't the place for system mechanic discussion but for things that are outright bugs. This should hopefully help clear some of the clutter, and honestly if...

    Mila Infinite Found

    608 So apparently a Mila infinite has been found. It requires Mila to knock you into a wall down and do :h2::p::p::p::p:... and it continues until the Mila player messes up or time expires. The damage is worthless but mainly this locks a player into the ground until time expires. The only way...

    The Official Dead or Alive 5 Tier List with Discussion thread

    It was bound to happen sooner or later, although I'd prefer later, but use this thread to view and discuss the most recent tier list. As a reminder, a tier list does not dictate the winner of a match. It is only a guide used to compare one character's given options throughout a match with the...

    Yohei Shimbori recently tweeted that the development team decided to hold a 33-man tournament amongst the staff. He has uploaded the finals of the tournament which is Hayate vs Hitomi. As far as I know, he did not tell which members of the staff were the finalists but they were two of the...

    Yosuke Hayashi was recently interviewed by VG247.com with a few words to say about Fighting Entertainment, balancing the game and its characters, and sharing the game early in development with fans and the media.

    Team NINJA and Yohei Shimbori have released two matches of newly announced Helena Douglas against Lisa Hamilton. Helena is the CEO of DOATEC with Lisa being one of the chief scientists for the DOATEC's research and development division. Seems strange that Lisa seems to use the same fighting...
