The DOA4 ranking system could do with some tweaks if they were to use it again. The point gain and losses could be a bit extreme, and if you run back against someone who beat you from a lower rank, you don't get a balance of points back from what they took off you. If equally skilled players...

They didn't adequately describe what happens if you don't choose to press X. It sounds like if you do nothing, a less impressive animation continues. I like that the prompt is embedded in an environmental object, that's subtle and clever, sounds nonintrusive. It also comes as part of a cool...

d3v: I can write, and should have good access to the game leading to release. What kind of content are you interested in? I'd also suggest tapping Mr Wah himself, of course, and perhaps old friend DrDogg might spare some writing time for something related to this game and scene, with which...

Increased esteem for Hayashi with his respectful comments on VF and hope for DOA with its influence filtering into his approach. Would love a crossover game.

This is very important to changing perceptions about DOA. Fans that are into the "sports illustrated" element will still find plenty to like, I wager, but a more mature approach and their seriousness about addressing it is going to help a lot more than some may think.

I can't abide his love for Armageddon, which is an awful, awful film. But I can understand the devastation of having his hard work pulled out from under him and published before it was ready. He's still an interesting character... I'd like to find out what else he spoke about at DICE...

DOA was too slow to him? Too technically weighty? DOA4 is still one of the fastest moving fighters and every DOA particularly from 2 has been very accessible. This streamlining and push for accessibility that people are saying is a new thing in fighters, with SC5 being the latest example, DOA...

Yeah, it sounds like there are some traps SC5 fell into that DOA5 can avoid in the "streamlining" stakes. It can also do a lot better on single player modes and presentation to better impress the casual/reviewer base.

3 button game, same as VF. If a typical stick layout is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Then 4 is Guard/Free, 1 is Punch, 2 is Kick

Actually VF sidestep is more subtle, it's just :8: or :2: and if it's done in the right timing as an attack is coming at you, they will sidestep. There is a "Offensive" and "Defensive" move version, where if you press :F+P+K: during the early part of the basic sidestep animation, the...

Oh of course. But I know Mr Wah is prepared...

Who is in new york that might be able to comment on this, or are there reports coming out anywhere yet?

Streaming has certainly democratised video game broadcast and made it accessible. Twitch TV is certainly one to watch and I would say a FSD Twitch account is a must.

The supers in sc5 work well. It doesn't generally interrupt the flow of combat. Doa's implementation is not really the same though as there is no meter management, and thus more of a pure "right move for right situation" decision. They will be fine from what we've heard. Cancellable charge up moves.

Translation? Or is it stuff we already know?

NG is far better than all other action games in my opinion for many reasons including the above. Sadly I also still rank NGB as the best, but NG2 and Sigma/2 were both more engaging purely for its exemplary combat than other games. The only game to come close is Bayonetta in that it combined...

Don't get me wrong, I would rather they tone it down a tad. But I'm reassured that there is a solid focus on updating the tone and introducing new, interesting concepts

Its okay as the overall look and tone is still darker and refreshed from its previous look. It won't detract for most people. It's only an issue in terms of meta commentary, I'm already sick of early previews that say "hey its not just about boobs now" (duh, previous editions were great...

Nice stuff. Shows the match standard was pretty good at this time also. I liked the Majin match, being a Lei Fang player, good stuff. I see you have an archive of some CGS vids. Is that the extent of your footage from CGS? As you know, I don't have anything from the international matches I...

You imply this anyway, but it's worth breaking this out and making note - that the scene for DOAU and DOA4 online were taking place in a very different time. The changes that have occured in the fighting game scene with every other fighting game now having online play, and the worldwide...
