I only know of the events for Guilty Gear up there. I was speaking more about fighting games in general. I'm sure if you went on SRK or wherever you could find something for DOA in LA.

It does seem like a lot of the action down here is concentrated in LA. Makes sense when you think about it, I guess. Do you guys go to Saltmines? I was there last night to play Xrd but I would definitely be down for some DOA if someone were to bring it.

I just want to make it clear that I am in no way advocating for fireballs or dragon punches in 3D. That being said, I still think there is a good deal 3D fighters can learn from their 2D brethren. Namely in creating a long range game that acts as more than a segue to the mid/close range game...

I'm actually currently writing an article on how 2D fighters have successfully implemented 3D fighter conventions, whereas the opposite has yet to occur. The issue with 3D fighters is that they tend to play to their strengths and pay little regard to their weaknesses. Case in point is the...

To use the PCB for an arcade stick, all you'd have to do is find the correct leads (one for each button and one for each direction) and solder the wires from each corresponding button/the joystick harness. This is apparently on the level of the original PS1 controller (non-Dualshock) in terms of...

Well, you can get a Hori Fighting Commander 4 and solder your stick + buttons to it. It provides seamless compatibility with PS3 and PS4; no switches, no holding down Start and Select, just plug and play. That would require moderate soldering skills, though.

I was actually agreeing with you. I was just pointing out that her other normals are so good that she doesn't even need to use her CD moves, which are also good.

Hey guys, I'm in SD for the next month. When and where do you typically meet up to play?

Vice doesn't even need to use CD moves... all of her normals can link into EX Decide under the right conditions. @Argentus: I play Vice in 98 and still like her a lot in XIII. She's less of a true grappler, but I'll take a more useful jump/hop arc over her old HCF A/C. She can actually play the...

They do coexist, but not peacefully. It is a constant struggle between keeping the game as the lead director wants it to be and making the necessary changes to improve the game on a mechanical level. When the former gets what he wants with no resistance, we end up with DOA4. When the latter...

To be fair, he definitely overstayed his welcome with DOA4. There were other issues that contributed to that game's premature release from what I understand, but truthfully there was not much he could have done for the series at that point anyways. He is partially right about DOA5 alienating a...

The touchscreen is odd, but welcome I guess. Those sticks though... surely I'm not the only one who saw them and immediately thought they looked like a pair of balls.

I see a lot of posts in this thread that are basically saying that Itagaki doesn't appreciate fighting games, doesn't understand how to make them, etc. I understand where this is coming from, though it is coming from a very narrow view of what a director does. Itagaki was likely not that...

I bought 3.1 the other day at a local Book Off for 108 yen (less than $1 at current exchange rate). On my JP 360 it exhibits slight slowdown on some stages, but runs fine overall. It even detects my RAP EX as an Xbox Hori Fighting Stick, which is neat, but also inconvenient because it doesn't...

I'm originally from Norcal, though I currently live in Yokosuka, Japan. I mostly play Guilty Gear, though I did play VF once upon a time. DOA5UA has gained popularity out here, and seeing as it has Jacky who was my main in VF, I figured I'd give it a try. To put it lightly, I wasn't ready for...

You have it backwards: the game is so lenient, it gets in the way of people who don't need such a generous buffer. The example you cited is actually the game reading that last 6 in preparation for additional inputs, which is kind of useful actually for HD combos and such, so long as you...

Well again, the idea is to do it while stunned against delayed mids. You can only get a counter while stunned, and like you said, you can only get the move itself otherwise (ie: you can't "hide" a counter in the input of another move). It worked against this one guy I played against, but I...

Fair enough, lol. Again, it was something I came up with on the spot and wasn't sure how legit it was. If you can OS counters though, would someone mind explaining/linking the nuances of it?

So I may have discovered an option select. I don't have a console to test this with so I'll ask here to see if this is legit. It's pretty simple: while stunned you input 4K+H. If the opponent keeps the stun combo going, you get the mid punch counter. If the opponent tries to go for a mixup or...

I knew it was a little too good to be true, lol. Thanks!
