    How many frames do you have to break a throw?

    Favorite Stages

    I've heard some players make mention that stages in Dead or Alive are just as important as a Character choice. For many players, they have some stages that instantly pop into their head as what makes them think of DOA. However, not everyone has the same favorites. So, I'm curious what other...

In my tests, Bass and Kasumi both hit the ground at the same amount of frames after his super launcher throw and a juggle of :p:. That's how I verified, as I stated in the front post, that weight does not...

    Dead or Alive 5 Weight Classes

    It's them tig ol bitties. Setups can differ based on character move properties. One character might have moves that work on Helena and Gen Fu but not Bass, and other characters may not. The point is there is a weight difference.

    DOA5 after 6 months - what worked and what didn't?

    I believe its a reference to DOA catching up to VF in numerical order, but yes it has a dual reference to Akira's catchphrase.

    DOA Q&A

    For the future, take a gander at the terminology list.in the wiki. Yes, it hasn't been updated since DOA4 I believe but it's still a good resource for beginners to understand some of the core terminology we use: http://www.freestepdodge.com/wiki/dead-or-alive-terminology/
