Is it Select + a button?

You can't leave during a match or during character select. Only during the three second interlude between matches. If this was to stop rage quits then it failed since a rage quitter can just turn off their console with the push of a button. All it does is stop you from legitimately returning to...

Funny, I found a few ground set ups before noticing this thread. I might post some of my own findings if they are different from these. People posting that this can be beat are missing the point of frame advantage entirely. The point is no matter what the opponent does it's going to start...

Hayate's stun game is solid and his punishes are solid. The only weakness Hayate really has is his lack of tracking moves. Besides that, with all the stuff I've uncovered about this game's mechanics he's at least mid tier if not high mid.

That's what she said

This is my main complaint with the hold system. Delaying an attack or free canceling only to get countered by the same hold you baited out just feels like it's punishing offense too heavily Instead of delaying to catch a hold attempt you basically have to erase that attack height entirely. Even...

Call me the odd man out but that seems excessively complicated. So basically the game punishes your for holding late after a stun?

Yeah I think you and I are on the same page. To understand the hitbox you have to understand PC gamers. I played Quake-style games on the PC for years before I came back to fighting games. To me having a keyboard style controller just feels natural. I know other hitbox users with their reasons

I'm okay with it being fixed. Hell, it doesn't really bother me and of my three characters only one has a fast back step. But your poll wasn't "should the Back step glitch be fixed" it's "should hitboxes be banned in tournaments" with the rational that you can abuse this exploit and that's...

18 eh? That's even bigger than I expected. I figured it was 16. I would have preferred if it was 10-12 but that's just me.

It feels enormous.

This argument is just retarded. If you don't like the glitchy backdash then just ban it. I own all three (pad, stick, hitbox) and I can do it on any of them. The guy in the video isn't even using a method that is viable in a tournament since he removes his right hand from it's station over the...

In the end it's not a problem with the hitbox. It's a problem, if anyone, with a bug in the game. Poll should be fixed.

I think we should ban chairs. They are fucking good. I mean your opponent sits down and he never gets tired. Shits broken yo.

if I may, The reasoning that Shimbori gave in the streamed interview for why characters like Helena are unsafe is because they are very tricky characters and thus you have to balance on the notion that they can play mind games with you. That's at least how the translator worded it. The...

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I always felt like earlier DoA games were too high in damage but at the same time I despise how fighting games today give our tremendous amounts of health for no obvious reason. It makes mix ups less effective because tricking someone with a mind game isn't...

Fairly good intro to Christie. She has a lot of dependable tools off of both her sidesteps which can be easily transitioned into from pressure.

Actually I don't think Kasumi is nearly as bad as Helena, Christie and Hitomi. She has 6P,K and PP6P,K. Both of which end with enough push back that high jabs and throws are out of range to punish it. In addition, she has a lot of moves that are -6 or -7 and as I've mentioned in my thread on...

I find it rather funny how people try to talk about what's in good taste when they are playing Dead or Alive. Not saying Dead or Alive is tasteless. I'm just saying if you are pretending to be offended by sexuality you are fooling no one.

I tested this out extensively against grapplers and characters with 9 frame jabs. You can buffer the throw tech into normal sidesteps, character unique sidesteps and evasive moves. You can even use it for attack chains that have big enough gabs in between hits to allow a throw attempt. Highly...
