They did it for tag because you have 2x the life bar. I would wager that if they kept it for singles, you'd be back here crying that characters are broken because they take away your life bar in one combo. That isn't fun, it's stupid.

Hah, now it makes sense. In my head I was saying, "I've done Akira's like 50 times." Aaaaaaaaaand then I read your PS note.

Noob question here. How do you unlock other voices? I just have Brad and Bayman.

Ugh. I wish the politics behind the xbox delay were disclosed to us. I'd like to know the real reasons we don't have a date yet when PS3 got two patches already.

Ugh. And I was all excited to go too. Maybe next time.

On this video, check out minute marker, 00:04:10. You'll see the wall splat where I should have used :4::3::P: after the splat, but auto pioleted into :214::P:. 966 00:14:08 for the odd timing on wake up kick :6::6::K::K:. I miss timed it.

Did all side steps get buffed, or just a select few characters? Being on xbox, I've yet to see how Akira is post patch. Pre 1.03, Akira has to work harder than any other character in this game for damage. I'm really curious to see my combos post 1.03.

Wall Splats It's good to know that wall splats are not bias to weight class. It works on the ladies and the fatties equally. These set ups require you pay attention to your surroundings. You'll want to practice the set ups where the opponent's back is against the wall and get those juggles down...

Watch the matches at 1:10:20, 1:15:31, and 1:20:25. You'll see what I mean.

Normally side stepping does work; however, against Sarah, the intervals in which her next attack executes is faster than Akira's SS attack. I just get hit again. Maybe after the patch the sped up SS might be effective.

I would agree normally, but I'm the only Akira to actually have any input on anything. If you go to that forum all you see are my posts. I came here to see if she had some kind of disadvantage.

I've played against some Sarahs that appear to be at at least +1 after every strike and their jabs feel like 9 frames. At least 3 different strikes. When used in combination, the poke game is so fast, you can't slow escape and you're left frantically countering. What is this character's weakness?

Well, I know in games like soul calibur, there are different throw inputs. (Horizontal + Guard) and (vertical + guard), which add a little chance to throw breaking. Seeing how that option isn't available in DOA, how would you expand throw breaking in this game?

Sure, if it would make you less of a wet blanket.

I agree on the ranked match stuff. The only thing I care about is the latency of the opponent. If they lag, I send them an avoid player review of "Lacking Skill" because "Lagging like grandma in a foot race" isn't an option. I can see people only accepting matches from low ranked players...

It sure is; however, it will never be as fast as a joystick.
