    Team Ninja confirms more character announcements post launch and secret unlockable characters

    I'm assuming that the final roster will be the 19 from the August build plus Helena, Mila, Gen Fu, Pai, and Alpha-152 (24 total). I suspect that Pai, Gen Fu and Alpha-152 will be among the characters that they decide to lock. Maybe they'll lock Sarah and Akira too, since they're guest...

    What grade do you have?

    Across my entire course of playing over the years, I think I've been everywhere from F+ to B+. The past few years I've stayed between C+ and B. I think I'm currently a B as of this post. I'm not very good and the fact that I main Tengu certainly doesn't help. I'm going to try a lot harder in DOA5.

    I never buy guides either, but I'm considering getting this one.

    Interviewing Hayashi tomorrow

    I completely understand and agree. While I do enjoy unlocking characters, I don't think that any fighting game should ever have locked characters for the reason you stated. It also applies to local, non-tournament play too. For example, if I go over to my buddy's house to play some DOA4 and I...

    IGN's 12 Days of DOA5

    I've gotten Japanese imports of the DOAU guide, as well as the DOAU Best Shot, DOAX Best Shot, and DOAX Best Shot Fresh!! books. I can't even read Japanese though. I just got them as collectibles really. They were however already imported when I bought them. The eBay seller I bought them from...

    @onelasttime: Maybe she doesn't want to be another sheep in the ninja herd. I approve. I'm much more interested in seeing a good Kokoro.

    [Aug 18, 2012] I’m a Fighter World Championship: Round 2 (San Mateo, CA)

    Yeah, I saw two of his fights. Can't remember who he used in the first one that I saw, but I know he did really well, and won. In the second fight of his that I saw, he was using Tina, and played very impressively.

    [Aug 18, 2012] I’m a Fighter World Championship: Round 2 (San Mateo, CA)

    I assume he still sucks then. He really doesn't look much better, and not one person wanted to take him to the tournament. Doesn't look good for him.

    [Aug 18, 2012] I’m a Fighter World Championship: Round 2 (San Mateo, CA)

    I didn't catch all of it, but I really enjoyed what I saw. It's a shame that most of the characters I wanted to see got little to no playtime, at least from what I saw. I only saw Bass and Tina once each, and I never saw Brad or Eliot.

    Same here. I'm super excited for DOA5.

    So RyuJin won the IPL tournament with Jann Lee. Did anyone use Brad at all?

    Gamescom Updates

    Well, it's that the PS3 has a better d-pad for fighters, and the Xbox 360 has better trigger buttons for shooters. They also seem to have bigger fanbases for those respective genres.

    Kayane interviews DOA5 director and producer

    I hope so too. I'm not familiar with Kayane, but it'd certainly be nice for DOA5 to gain more known players from the competitive scenes of other fighters. It'd be nice if she joined up here too. Keep the family together, you know?

    IGN's 12 Days of DOA5

    Same here. I'd like to see more Kokoro, Brad, Eliot, and Tina especially. I have to admit that I liked the abundance of Bayman in the latest nine videos though. I love all his crazy grapples. I hope he doesn't end up being overplayed though. All those awesome throws of his will get stale if...

    Gamescom Updates

    Yeah, it's looking that way, which makes me want a PS3 to play it on. Unfortunately I don't have one, so I'm stuck with the Xbox version. I agree with this too. I think the main console of focus should be the PS3 because it's much better suited for fighters than the Xbox is.

    Oh. Sorry, I still don't know what the difference is between default holds and advanced holds.

    Thanks, man. Eww. What's with up Hitomi's leg clipping with the ground at 0:15 in "Hitomi vs Bayman #1"? Looks like Hitomi has a new animation at 2:50 for her mid-kick hold which appears to no longer set up for a juggle. Life gauge stays shaded after dangerzone transition at 1:40 in "Kasumi...

    @Jefffcore: Okay, cool. Thanks. Then that means we're just waiting on the Friday, 8/17 videos.

    Perhaps. I don't know what the Holy Grail of fighting game tournaments is. As long as the game gets recognition, and stays in the competitive scene for years, I'll be happy.

    Dead or Alive 5: Director wants more cameos, ‘Ryo from Shenmue would be ideal’

    Wow. I never knew a Sonic fighting game existed. I don't expect free characters either. Honestly, I don't really expect any DLC to be free, but especially not characters.
