He wasn't the best before, and he won't be this time either, Relius. Only at private tournaments.

DOA 5 alpha vids havnt got shit for youtube views compared to other games. The audience is not as big as you think. Speaking of which.... @0:26 Watch me perform my Naraku high-counter throw punishment WITH environment assistance. @2:51 Watch Hayabusa's counter and do more damage than my...

You're a WITCH! But yes, is basically what I would set things to.

Counter-hits as they are suck, Berzerk. You put way too much stock in them. They don't do shit for damage in even terrain open space and you know it. If I'm in open space wailing on my opponent and he's missing every one of his counters on me as is, I'm still only going to get about 1/3rd of his...

3.1 was the best DOA game. Of course, it still had problems. Wide, 3 point counters that were all-too-easily buffered being one of them. The reason I mentioned 4 is because you seem to imply the concept of DOA is that you can hold at any time and escape any situation if you're lucky enough and...

Punishment. Tons of moves in this game can be crouch throw punished on block. It's also about the only thing that really stops fuzzy guarding. In DOA 5, they are even giving certain moves free counter-throw status if they are unsafe enough. It wasn't a double function either, it was a...

and we've alreaaaady gotten theeeeeeeeeeere. Thank you for introducing these horrifying walls of text that are only going to encourage relapse. I'm glad you like VF5FS, i'm sure its an entirely badass game. And holds in stun are stupid. The fact of the matter is that you've never once...

It's like the entire last 13 pages didn't happen or something. Did you really just decide to scrap a weeks worth of debates over this topic and start over from the very beginning? Over one session of VF you just.... forgot everything? DOA isn't VF. VF does not have DOA's problems. And lately...

Yea it forces you to play the game much differently. I was in DOA 4 mindset when we did these so im playing ten kinds of wrong in these vids, but If you're fighting Bass and he hits you at the start of the match, if at all possible you just eat whatever follows. When your lifebar gets around 30%...

The belief is that Itagaki saw tom brady's 3.1 vids a couple of months before release of DOA 4 and got SUPER salty. He then proceeded to completely destroy the game. (Good job, Bill) ... that's the belief, at least. What we actually do know is that Itagaki himself had everything changed...

Few things. First, Casuals are the bulk and don't do tournaments. Second, word of mouth and history are the two prime selling points for a video game, regardless of how good something actually is. The dark era of MK games also sold very well, but the had no tournament scene either because...

Exactly. 3.1, Bass WANTS YOU to hold, because that means you just gave him his best opportunity to kill you. He shouldn't fear your hold, you should fear having to even use it. @1:20 Now THAT'S a deterrent. Holds are still too easy and do too much damage here, but damn if they aren't a...

Can you explain why a person should be able to avoid two completely separate hit level attacks after being stunned? As I mentioned previously, the low hold is already too good because even with the reduced recovery, it still avoids more strikes than any other hold, and eliminates the highest...

Itagaki Logic: A wrestler would never beat a ninja. 3.1 Bass disagreed, and look what happened to him in doa 4 :/

Right. Some people I guess maybe feel like they have the right to stop a combo with minimum repercussions at any given time, but it just doesn't work that way if you're going to play something competitively. If you can't punish a mistake in a meaningful way, you can never win consistently...

Well Tekken is a different beast entirely. For one, you can react to throws in tekken based on which arm is coming out to grab you and break it. As such its good to use on people with slower reflexes, but typically it's going to fail most of the time at the higher end of competition there. In...

Holy shit, I'm talking to my younger self. Well, at least I know where you're coming from now.... A game without combos is a game without anything to practice, and no real technical expertise. Every single engagement would be based around spacing and whiff punishment, more or less. That's fine...

Honestly, I think there is something about the human conscience that struggles against the idea of being helpless in a fight. When someone calls a game a "juggle fest" its probably because they feel like they ARE helpless after they make a mistake, and that pisses them off. These same people, if...

If you tell him it's because he never played it at high level, beware. Newcomers hate that shit. They'll just call you an elitist prick, even if you KNOW you're telling them the gospel truth. And it sucks, I know, there really isn't a way for them to understand without the experience. The only...

That's kind of like asking why MK can't be a 3D game with blood guts and gore, multiple stances and weapon systems and special moves and meter and killzones etc etc. Because it's a really terrible formula that doesn't resonate with anybody who would want to play it competitively. DOA, as it...
