Would like to let the community know that we will be starting blog(s) from members that are directly involved with what we're trying to do for this community (and the FGC) in general. This isn't just about streaming a podcast we're also going to be doing community player interviews, news, etc...

Hey guys! As many of you know (or so I hope anyway) myself, Sorwah (Matt), and Allan Paris have started a podcast series(and also Emperor Cow as time permits because of the crazy time differences). It's more or less to talk about upcoming events, tierlists, characters, etc ,etc. We have done 2...

Hey guys, what are your gripes with the DoA system? Is it holds, oki, stuns, etc? If you do answer please give a reason with more substance than, "I just don't like it" or "It goes against fighting games fundamentals" without being able to back it up with real facts. Admins please try to...

Hey guys I have been putting out videos (only 2 thus far) of "beginner" tutorial videos for characters and we got some good feedback. I feel like it's helping but I think I can help even further than this. My videos aren't very adept at helping someone who has played the character beyond the...

2692 Here's my Pai Beginner Tutorial for any Pai players looking to pick her up but not fully sure where to begin with her. It is pretty basic but it gives a general idea of how she could be played. As always looking for feedback and anything else let me know guys.

I already brought this up on the Facebook group but I will be posting my twitch account link here. What I will be doing: This will be pretty simple as I am basically pulling random online matches or offline matches that I find via the interwebs. Will pretty much analyze the matches and give my...

*This will be long so I'm sorry in advance.* (That's what she said!) Okay I'm not here to say players are bad and that is the sole reason why the game gets such little support (though it has made strides). The reason this game doesn't do as well as other main stream fighters, old school...

Lei Fang Beginner Guide Lei Fang is a very strange character that excels at (in DOA5) strong mix up with a wide range of defensive options. It isn’t very hard to open up an opponent at lower levels (does not struggle stuns) but at higher levels you have to use some of her stronger mix up...

Haybusa in DoA5 This character has had a complete change from his previous versions. He has been slowed down considerably, his crushes aren’t insane, and the Izuna drop damage is lessened (not too much). This is more of a small guideline to help understand the type of character he is to help...

Sarah in DoA5 Sarah has a ton of great options and completely plays in a rewarding manner in almost every situation. The only thing she doesn’t do that well is counter hold damage but not many characters do so it’s not even a negative towards the character. This is a quick...

The game is coming out in less than a week people. We have been at each others throats since I came into the scene and while it is okay for some competitive smack talk we need to look past these things as we need to come together as a community for once. Our game is coming out (finally) and...

Stances in Dead or Alive games has always been something that is strange to use for someone who is coming from another game. In other games usually if you transition to a stance it puts you at neutral, you have advantage, or the spacing is a factor in the defensive player options. In Dead or...

Hitomi Q&A thread. Use this thread for questions that aren't being answered in any of the other threads.I will eventually turn this thread into a thread for the Hitomi guide or general guideline to using her in an effective manner. Dead or Alive 5 Hitomi Now that Dead or...

This thread will be used to show videos and get critique of your Hitomi play. Please no flaming, insults, or vague comments. Flaming and insults are pretty self explanatory but by vague I mean something like the following, "Parry more". If you want to help merely give your observation and...

This thread will be used to discuss Hitomi's general strategy (footsies, pokes, etc) and match ups against the cast. The posts I have reserved (hopefully enough) will be where all the information for match ups and the strategies will be so before asking a question please check the OP's.

Hitomi still for the most part has the same juggles but there are some new combos (which are actually better) and a few extra launchers since she lost the bounce from her axe kick. Also take note that "keeping" someone stunned with Hitomi is actually much more difficult so there will be many...

The hold in DoA is something that will more than likely always be in the game. Being able to counter while in stun and while out of stun. While taking the hold out of stun would be interesting to the game I think they would have to completely revamp the attacks, stuns, throws, and probably add...
