Meh. When you think about it, alot of the "new" characters are functionally the same old characters as before. Meanwhile, the true "new" characters in SCV are actually quite interesting. Viola is arguably one of the most unique new characters in any 3D fighting game.

Giant batch of screenshots now up on SRK. http://shoryuken.com/2013/07/23/namco-bandai-releases-huge-batch-of-soulcalibur-ii-hd-online-screenshots/

Figured that this would be the best place to ask this. Do we already know which DLC packs from the vanilla DOA5 will be unlockables in Ultimate and which will still need to be bought. Also, does having previously bought DLC packs make them already unlocked in Ultimate?

Actually, ToD's are fine in any tag team game that doesn't follow the TTT system. In fact, some sort of ToD or very high damage is necessary in tag team games since you need to give a single character on low health the ability to still win against two characters with little to no damage.

Any definitive footage of this?

Step G just makes it so that sidestepping is the best form of defense in SCII since it negates both high and mid attacks. Combine that with many safe attacks and you have the reason why, at least among those who really broke the game down at high levels, SCII has a reputation of being a low...

Funny because IMO, there's more that needs to be fixed in 2 (lol step~g) than in 5.

LOL, time to ruin people's memories of this game and abuse safe moves, frame advantage lows and step guard. EDIT: For those who don't know what I'm talking about. http://8wayrun.com/threads/hate-speech-a-seasonal-feast.9103/

Decided to share this shizz on SRK. http://shoryuken.com/2013/07/19/dead-or-alive-5-ultimate-off-screen-footage-of-new-characters-and-mechanics-from-japanese-demo-event/ Which is more than eventhubs ever does.

Damage of that PL combo still looks a bit low to me.

SF numbers are a hard target to hit since SF is, well SF. Plus Capcom has been pushing competitive side of things hard since 2009. DOA IMO should focus on catching up to the other mainstays like MK or KoF first.

It's a credit to Infiltration that he A) plays a mean Hakan and B) has enough knowledge of the match ups to use them to his favor.

I'm sorry but fuck this attitude. The game begins at the select screen, counterpicking is a legit strategy. Eduardo could have gone ahead and picked Fei Long after his first loss to Infiltration's Hakan.

MURDERFACE!!!

Beating Daigo is meh, the real award should go to whoever beats ChrisG.

The number of viable characters has nothing to do with whether or not a game is competitively viable. Time has shown that all that you need is at least 4 top tier characters as long as the matchups between them are interesting and engaging enough. Case in point, many folks will complain about...

-Consider that Storm wasn't even considered top tier up until 2-3 years into the games life. -Consider that Storm's dominance in the air is threatened by Sentinel who has the best tools in the air, save for the fact that Storm can fly higher. -Consider that infinites aren't even the best sources...

You forget that fighting games, by their nature, are emergent. By a combination of natural competitiveness and tradition (combos after all, started out as a glitch), the way fighting games are played is more often than not dictated by the players playing it. Stuff that seems broken down the line...

Fuck you. MvC2 is one of the deepest, most competitive fighting games ever made, precisely because of how it was broken. As for EVO, games get in mostly due to tournament attendance from other majors. To get the numbers in other tournaments, you first need to have a competitive game. Casual...
