I nominate Calibur Bladez. His dedication to consistently show up at tournaments, and placing each time should be awarded.

Combos using :4: :4: :p: :pause: :9: :p: :k: were posted earler, but it works really well after her air throw, and does the most damage I can find. - :9: :p: :pause: :p: :+: :k: :t:, :4: :4: :p: :pause: :9: :p: :k:, :3: :p: :4: :p: :p:

I keep becoming more and more dissatisfied with the pauses that are in this game after a character does a move on hit or on block. It is really ruining the fluidity of the gameplay. Examples: Helena 2f+k on hit - there is a slight pause that has probably caused the advantage on normal hit to...

Bokuho is also an offensive tool, because Helena can not guard while in it. She is wide open to an attack, and someone who is smart will go for it. Bokuho is a very fast stance to go into (like ~5 frames), and teishitsu can immediately be activated while in the stance. She has a 19 frame low...

44p 4p works. 44p will put her in backfacing, and 4p will hit at a good height. follow it up with 33h+kk f, 3pk, 7k. To do the combo challenge one, you have to run to the other side after launch. Kinda stupid, because timing that perfectly is either a hit or a miss.

9 (pause) P. Press up or up forward, and then while in the air, press punch. DOA4 was the last DOA where the whole cast had some form of a jumping punch.

Sarah's P+K deflect was nerfed in Ultimate. It only gives her +1 on block now, and if it deflects a move, nothing connects afterward, unlike previously, where 6kk was practically guaranteed. The chances of it jumping over any lows was almost impossible in both versions. Either way, bokuho was...

she used to have jumping punch until DOA5. Hers was especially useful because her arm would have further reach during her jump than almost any other character. It's a shame it's gone. It was highly effective against low wake up kicks. I remember in DOA 2, 3, and 4 when I would knock the...

I voted no. some of her nerfs can be considered buffs, but if you practice on how to fight her, she isn't really a problem. (1) They nerfed her parry. If you anticipate getting parried, you can do moves that have quick recovery against her, get parried, and sidestep the hit. (otherwise she...

Good post. pretty much sums up everything, except helena's fastest tracking moves were 6p and 7k in 5, not 1p. Overall it doesn't make a difference now, because 4p is an amazing tracking move, something i've always wanted since DOA5 first came out.

I think it might be her Japanese collector's edition outfit?

Sarah has a new fancy critical burst combo that only works on light weights. The set up before the launcher only works on counter hit, and high counter hit. The juggle does the same amount of damage as her standard 8k, 1kk, p, 4pk4k, 7k combo. I hope you guys like it :)

I think that 2p was a fair nerf. Only VF characters had a 12 frame low on CH that allowed a follow up. but it still works near a wall if you follow it up with 44p :)

Wall combos give Helena many options in DOA5U. I don't know if any of you have noticed, but after certain moves that wall splat, Helena can do 66h+k to juggle the opponent. 66h+k works after the following wall splats (list is not complete) -9k -7p -6p+k -4ppk -33pp -33p4p -236pkp -4p2p...

LIKES: - Dojo in tag (infinite tag combos galore) - Helena's 4p having tracking - Tokyo and heliport stages - Power launchers are amazing (I don't believe in comeback gimmicks, so I think PL should replace PB) - Alpha's nerfs - they are fair, yet she is still a really good character. Good job...

I am really hoping it is a glitch, but a part of me is saying that it isn't. Sarah's h+k k was +2 on block in DOA5, and it also had that weird pause thing. Now it is practically on everything. Did you also notice how her flamingo 1kk can knock the opponent out of a stun now once it reaches...

Now that Alpha-152 is in her own weight class (feather weight), the combos you can do on her can be hard to do, but can also do major damage. Here are some combos that can be done. BOKUHO THROW COMBOS (high counter hit damage) -9p4k, 4k, 4ppp (106 dmg) - This will probably be the standard...

On a side note, a cool combo I found is - 1k, 33h+k, 33h+k k f, 3pk, 6kk. It even works as a wall combo. Just replace 1k with a move that slams against the wall like 66k.

This is exactly the reason why I came to this thread. I saw this when I was playing, and I was really upset by it. After doing 3pk or 4k on block, she pauses for like half a second. It is the weirdest thing ever, and it completely ruins her flow and her amazing footwork. It's bad enough that...
