THIS is the stuff that rubs certain people the wrong way. Dude asked for your opinion. Why do you have to stiff him like that? I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I'm genuinely curious.

We really need to rename this thread to the New England thread or something. It's simpler.

Not to be rude, but I have to ask. Do you play any other fighting game?

This thread is stupid.

Christie's weird because she changes a lot in every game, but in DOA 5 she's most definitely a rushdown character. Her speed, JKO game, and mixups are all designed to give her an advantage on offense and shut down an opponent if they try to mount any offense of their own. She also has throw...

Punishment not doing enough damage is strictly a problem in 5. Between 4-5 they buffed the lifebar so that now the new normal setting is the old largest. The older games in the series don't have that problem. Again, going back to 3.1. Throws in that game hurt. A lot. If you do something unsafe...

Very true, but that's another reason why 3.1 was so solid. It was still pretty "DOAish" as far as safety goes, but every character except for maybe Brad had frame traps and moves that were safe and + on block. And that's moves with an "s," as in more than one.

I'll always travel for Hunter, so if my money holds up I'll be there. Even if no one else from my scene will join, I'm pretty sure I can get some people to enter. I've been talking to MightyMar and he said he'd be down to start playing with me online once the collection comes out. Hunter is even...

Well thanks for joining up! I love meeting new Hunter players! I unfortunately don't play on GGPO since I have a Mac. I've tried getting boot camp to work and all that stuff so I could play, but I was never able to get it all working. Instead, as I mentioned earlier, I've helped grow a small...

Since we're talking about safety, it should be noted that some characters that definitely play like grapplers don't have 4 frame neutral throws like Mila and Bayman. When people say things are unsafe against grapplers, they really mean characters with the 4 frame throw, which are Bass, Lisa...

So after working my ass off for about a year, I've actually managed to get a (small) offline scene for Hunter/NW going here in Boston. We typically meet up and play in Gill Hustle's gaming center on Fridays. I'm going to try to talk to him about putting Hunter on his stream this Friday, and if...

-10 is rather unsafe. A non grappler can use their neutral throw to punish anything - 6 (I believe) and above. Or below if you're going by how negative numbers work.

I don't think he was top in DOA 1, but he was still good. Then again, I can't find the tier list for that game anywhere so I can't back that up.

Yeah, but the game is still young. I expect we'll be seeing more of the resets from Fu players in a year or so.

I'm not SU, but Gen Fu is really good. 11 frame mid, good parries, built in guaranteed resets off of 9K (which is also his SS K) which lead to guaranteed CB setups, an unholdable launcher, plus his crush game all make him a very solid character. On top of all of that he's got some pretty sick...

Of course we're playing theory fighter. That's how tier lists work. They're purely theoretical. It's a fact that Zack's sway gets around that shit, so theoretically he has an answer for it. As for whether a Zack player can effectively use that in an actual match, that depends on how good the...

I don't think people understand what the term "main" means. You can't main like 5 characters. That's not how that works.

Ah I see. I didn't know it was such a technical/logistical mess to run. I'm hoping to attend WB, so I'll bring my 3.1 setup just for fun.

That's not what a crush is. A crush move is a move that is designed to beat an opponent's attack at a certain height. For instance, a high crush is a move that, when timed correctly, will beat any high like Bass' 1P and a low crush is a move that will beat any low like Tina's 6H+K. The crush...

Yeah probably not worth the trouble for what would basically be a 5 man tournament at best. Still, game's more solid than DOA 5, so I don't want to see it completely neglected.
