    Super Smash Bros. Thread

    Considering playing this competitively when it releases (Smash 4 I mean). I wasn't a fan of Brawl, and I don't think I'll get into the 3DS version because I'm just not able to control the characters properly (I tried out the 3DS e3 demo). Additionally, if I can use a PS2 controller or arcade...

    Community Poll Game: Characters enjoyability

    It was much easier back in the DOA2/DOA3 days. Each 'tiered throw' was 1 frame slower than the previous, and anyone who had 1 frame faster throw than that same tier was considered a grappler. At the time it was Bass, Bayman, Leon, Leifang, and Tina. The tiers were Neutral Throw...

    Should iterate that that is my personal criteria, not that it has to be universal to everyone.

    Community Poll Game: Characters enjoyability

    For Grappling, there are three basic criteria which would constitute a 'grappler'. The grappler can have any number of the criteria, but must at least have one. The character's neutral throw has a start-up of 4 frames The character has an air throw The character has ground throws I don't...

    System Is there a list of need to know system mechanics somewhere?

    If you're walking backwards (:h4:, :h1:, :h7:) and are hit it's Counter Blow status. Before DOA5 it would award Hi-counter to your opponent. Yes, having your back to a ledge will cause all hits to be the counter hit stun, even if landing on as a normal hit. Yes, on counter blow or higher some...

    DOA5U The Official Tier List with Discussion Thread

    I agree. I would argue in that matchup I would honestly expect it to be at least 6-4 for Leon. As for Leon v Kasumi and Rachel v Kasumi. Rachel's only advantages out of that is a smaller hurtbox and a quicker step. Even with that, I'd argue that the two matchups should be the same.

    DOA5U The Official Tier List with Discussion Thread

    It's the 1st one primarily. Mainly because I tried #2 on DOA5's and it got nowhere as I wasn't a representative source to determine if said person was 'knowledgeable' enough to warrant the matchup change. Also, even though he posted the entire MU list, he only changed 2 MUs from what it was...

    Dead or Alive Cosplay

    Ah, the hammer is what you focused on? Anyways, looks like that Rachel cosplayer is from Otakon, probably last year. Maybe I'll see her this year? Who knows. A lot of the DOA cosplayers are requiring me to show up for group pictures (The Tina/Kasumi from previous page).

    Not to also forget that I believe many feel Rachel suffers from many of their disadvantages as well, primarily speed. So Christie, Kasumi, Alpha, Phase 4, I believe would be at least a disadvantaged matchup

    [Oct 13, 2014] The Fall Classic 2014 - $8000 Pot Bonus to Top 6 by Team NINJA (Raleigh, NC)

    His question is on arrival in NY or FL, from London. From what I've seen, the cost from London > NY, London > Raleigh, and London > Florida, vary around $50.

    [Oct 13, 2014] The Fall Classic 2014 - $8000 Pot Bonus to Top 6 by Team NINJA (Raleigh, NC)

    In my experience, traveling across the ocean is going to be the most expensive part, and traveling to NY or FL really won't differ too much besides maybe $100.
