Basically what Nightpup said, but some things to add. You will get maximum launch height on a critical burst, so that you can use your character's most powerful launcher, so that you can get the best combo. Also, some launchers or other moves may be too slow to use while just in stun, such as...

Yeah, this. You can't just throw out offensive holds just to punish a strike all the time.

An offensive hold is a throw that acts as a hold, meaning that it has priority over strikes. Not all characters have OH's in DOA5, only Bayman, Leifang, Ryu Hayabusa, Jahn Lee, Brad Wong, Alpha-152, Bass, Tina, La Mariposa/Lisa, and Mila. For example, Bayman's :6::6::H+P: and Hayabusa's :8::H+P...

Won my first ranked match today! :D Now to actually get good at this game...

DOA3 Azuchi: Nice interior, great levels to knock other players to DOA3 Lorelei: SO MANY LEVELS, beautiful design DOAU Aquarium: very memorble, beautiful DOAU Dragon Hills: again THE LEVELS, complex and nice design DOA3 Forest: nice-looking, expansive, memorable

Alpha is basically the definition of mindgames lol. That's why she's my secondary character.

Well, that's not been working for me! I think its more about just landing hits and using frame data to know which hit to use at what time. Combos just help you get more damage from the hits.

I see what you mean. There are plenty of different ways to play mindgames in DOA5. You just have to find them, I guess. Some old ways have gone away, but as I said before, you can bait for hi-counter throws, mix up your strikes, etc.

Mind games=strategically trying to predict what your opponent will do so that you can make a risk to get higher damage For example, baiting to get hi-counter throws.

Love the shorter nose comment! I always hated Tengu's nose and never used him because of it!

I agree with a lot of this. Don't forget, however, that slow characters such as Bayman and Bass are still some of the most effective in the game. Bayman was considered top tier from the beginning due to his offensive holds, strong defensive holds and parries, as well as his strong ground game...

THIS. Especially the last one lol.

I've noticed that too. I find it hard to do high counter throws at times and I go for big damage too much, too. I actually find it easier to deal with intelligent, like-minded players than players that only mash strikes.

I focus too much on big combos, I can't hold in battle to save my life (in DOA5), I overthink, and I always put in wrong inputs.

I agree. Like I said about DOAD, it's no good when you start to mash mid hold because most of the moves are mids. DOAU did a great thing with that and it makes sense that the hold damage was increased in that game. DOA5 is pretty good with that IMO, but it would be nice if they either lengthened...

Really? I think DOA3's holds probably did some of the least damage in the series (as well as the attacks in general). I like all of the DOA's and Ultimate is probably the best for me as a whole. Ultimate has great presentation as a whole with probably the best stages in the series along with...

Me! Me! I want a Wii U! I doesn't have many good games right now (besides Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate, New Super Mario Bros. U, Lego City Undercover, and some 360/PS3 ports), but it is getting Pikmin 3, new Mario Kart, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker remake, a new 3D Mario, and more unknown games...

1 lol. XD

Well, Team Ninja did say that Ein and Leon would likely return in future games and that they didn't appear in DOA5 because of time constraints. So, them skipping DOA5 altogether and reappearing in DOA6 is very possible.
