-I wouldnt say 3.0 is totally incomplete. There were techs, and certain character benifits that was actually taken out of the game.

-I need to get my stick modded.

The importance of wall play in Doa5(environmental strategies): The wall dynamics in Doa5 is quite different from both Tekken 6 and VF5. Wall combos in both games are very damaging, but there are differences between the two. There are particular forms of wall stun in Doa5 and in Tk6. Instead...

Parries(Inashies) & Advanced Holds(Reversals): Like Vf5, there are characters with special holds and parries(inashis). Unlike the basic hold, the advanced hold add another direction to the already present holds, making its execution more difficult to pull off. Button Placement: The Button...

Going Beyond The Low punch. The ideas used for :P::P: or :P::P::P: plus mid level pokes variants is not that different from Tk6. The characters within the game have different variations/effectiveness in poking. In Doa5, just like in VF5, you have universal jab/low punch poke to get out of...

*This is a transitional guide for those who play Tekken 6(Major comparisons) and Virtua Fighter 5(Minor comparisons). INTRODUCTION. Do we really need this Guide? I am coming to find out that there are many people who are very misinformed, or don't have a clue at all on how to play Doa5. This...

-I agree with your complaints with the current incarnation of the stun system, however, going for a more 'conventional' stun system will not work well with the flow of post Doa1 play. Studying the mechanics of the game for so long, one of the better solutions would be a multi-tiered stun system...

-As a big advocate of Stagger Escape during the Doa4 era(Very few believed me when I said it was going to be a prominent technique), this is one of the few things I would like increased in Doa5. I would have hoped they left it Doa4 style, while removing many of the critical hold situations. This...

I agree. I was able to SE out of most of the stuns in Doa4. In Doa5 you can't escape as many stuns.

Oh thats what she is being called now...lol

That was a nice little read.

My Top 5 Stages are: Ariel gardens (Doa2U) - Love the mixture of nature with the Chinese architecture. Forrest/lost world (Doa3) - I love how organic and natural feeling it is. I am also amazed with the amount of strategic depth that is available within these stages. Dragon Hills (Doa2U) - The...

Actually you didnt get max launch, you got a counter hit launch during stun. This made sense since the majority of the stuns were on counter hit.

-Well Doa5 has been out for a far shorter period of time. The game is going to take some getting used to.

I agree with everything you said. Its not like Team Ninja cannot do it. Doa2 and Doa3 was heading down that direction. Doa4 X05 build was showing great promise to evolve the series, but that fell through. Doa5 is a lot better than Doa4, and there is no reason why TN cant continue to fine tune...

I think in general, all ss attacks in 3.1 are better than ths ss~attacks in Doa5. Oh and Helena's SS attack resulted in a limbo stun(+followup juggle).

-You want the input delay of Doa3, or Doa5?

This would not work at all. It wouldn't be that hard to figure out the commands needed to escape the hold. All the holds are pre-programmed and give out static results. If you could variate the out come of holds, than such a feature would be interesting to have.

I like the idea of parrying out of Critical stun. This force players to pay attention to the defensive hold(DH) he/she utilizes due to zero damage output, while facing heavy throw punishment. Normal DH = disadvantage, Counter DH = neutral, and High Counter DH = advantage.

-I do not want anyone to think that the competitve players in our community did not exaust every option to try and find something solid within Doa4. The game just did not hold up well competitively at higher levels of play. On the bright side, the game is quite fun, and it did introduce some...
