    New Costumes of Last Round

    Sega. All of the VF character sound effects and voice work was provided by Sega from VF5. So yes, it was ripped from VF5.

    Did you try them going into a lobby?

    System Launching a match from Fighter List

    I believe any mode that supports fight requests will show the invite. It comes up in the bottom right corner asking to press select or option to accept.

    DOA5U Ayane Match-Ups Discussion

    Good write up. Yes, Ayane has a slight advantage but not enough to make it 6-4. Don't forget his BT4k tracks and is mid hitting SDS which guarantees 33p launcher into his +6/+13 blender. Additionally, worry about his WR 4p+k. It high crushes into a lift stun setting up his BT4k game since you're...

    Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

    He just wanted to keep Ninja Gaiden separate from DOA.

    Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

    He won't. He's been doing it for 10 years. There's a lot of people who just ignore his accounts because he always feels he has to play the martyr for unnecessary reasons. I've even seen him tell people to not even bother joining the community because he fears the person will be attacked for...

    The Current State of 3D Fighters

    I don't think they're "content". They would like to see an EVO-like event that hosts 3D tournaments just as much as we would. The idea was to try and get TFC to become that, but for various reasons it didn't end up being what we were hoping.

    Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

    Ah, good, Itagaki kept my comments and deleted the comments of people asking for mine to be deleted/blocked. He didn't like my comments though lol. Ah well.

    You could never perform a defensive hold while in a grounded down state. Some characters had Offensive Throws while in the down state.

    Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

    Itagaki has further clarified his take on the new Team NINJA and DOA5:

    Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

    There was nothing neutral about the player on the ground having the advantage. In 5, you're at neutral because you are far enough away from the opponent to space or evade if you don't want to play the 'guess which wake-up kick' game.

    Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

    Agreed. David Sirlin metioned in his book "Playing to Win" that he looked at each fighting game as a mountain to climb. There are certainly different mountains at different sizes, and climbing to the peak of one may make you see another mountain even taller to climb. This is a reference to that...

    Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

    It's also the only game in the series to have such a huge gap in the core mechanics of the series since maybe doa1 to DOA++. And yet, its probably the iteration that was played the most as an introduction to the series, making people think "That's DOA.": a shallow shell of a fighting game...

    Tomonobu Itagaki On Dead or Alive 5: “My Daughter Was Totally Ruined”

    Incorrect. It had DOA (Arcade), DOA (Saturn), DOA (PS1), and DOA++ (Arcade). DOA2 though had two iterations in the arcade alone: DOA2 and DOA2: Millenium Edition

    Community Oy, With the Racism, Already!

    That's generally how stereotyping starts: Take a bit of truth and blow it up to be applicable to the whole. The fetish dlc and such comes up because it sells. It sells in the majority all across the world. It sells in a greater majority in all of asia. I believe the numbers I've heard was it's...

    News We Can Get There, But...

    Okay, thanks. Reading without tone on the internet all these years has me default my thinking of someone who quotes me with a single line statement as a counter argument with a hidden smh after it.
