Lots of replies, thanks all :). I'm a stick player and i think because It's still not natural I tend to tense up and sometimes instead of 44 or 66 I get just 4 or 6. Alternatively I think that I haven't got time to get out of the way and sit there blocking. I'm working on kbd in training but...

Hey all, Does anyone have any good training drills that help develop better movement (towards and away from the opponent)? I'm finding it difficult to practice this in a match when there's already so much else to think about, plus I don't want to come across as messing about and wasting other...

There also seems to be an issue with the sound volume being reduced dramatically.

I'm still catching up on the Hitomi stream Prince Adon did, I'm sure this will be great too. I think this is about 2am UK time so I doubt I'll be joining you sadly ;). Looking forward to watching it afterwards though. Much appreciated.

I've been having no end of grief with anything involving an izuna since switching to an arcade stick, this will be a lifesaver. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Hi, Yes you can still play against them even if you don't own them. A 3rd one comes out today as it happens. Well done with the costumes, I found time attack tag good for that. Good luck getting back into it. I'm just a beginner so I'll leave that advice to the old hands :)

I'm not sure what happened with the link, sorry about that. It's an old thread from the doa5 Ultimate system discussion sub forum. It suggests a path for learning the game. All the stuff you've mentioned will be really useful. I'm looking forward to checking this out.

Thanks for doing this, I'll catch up on it as I'm away this weekend. How do you plan to structure it? Something along the lines of this excellent thread by Game Over? http://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/breaking-down-the-game-a-training-suggestion-for-aspiring-players.166/

I feel I am gradually getting better. Advanced throws aren't really possible at the moment as I keep missing a direction somewhere for fear of hitting the gate. The hardest motions are those involving double tapping a direction.

Very helpful, thanks. I'd been recreating the first tutorial lesson on it. I can't do the one from knockdown on arcade stick yet.

UK time difference permitting I'm definitely interested.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. CyberEvil: I'll definitely look into the offline scene over here, arcades are pretty scarce though. When are you generally around on Live? Dragon_Reaper_85: I only play on Live at the moment due to having a 360 arcade stick. I'm considering getting a second...

I have it on the Vita, I mainly use it to run through command training/tutorials if I'm away from home. Feel free to add me though.

Hey, I feel like I've hit a bit of a beginner's wall so I'm looking for a training partner who's willing to go over some fundamental concepts or character specifics. If I can help you with anything too I'd be happy to. I'm a UK XBL player.

Much appreciated, looking forward to playing with you. How do you normally organise the sessions?

Hi Hajin, Prince Adon, nice to meet you. I'm very interested in participating in these sessions. I've been playing (on XBL) for about four months, sticking just to Hayabusa. I'm new to fighting games in general so fundamentals are really what I'm working on at the moment. Movement, when to...

Thanks for the encouragement, I'll keep practicing then until I push through. What grip do you each use?

Thanks for the advice both of you. I've already got used to bumping into the gate but I would rather unlearn a bad habit now. Mr. Wah: Do you use a square gate? I know this is supposed to be the best for diagonals but I'm finding them tricky. 33p/33k in particular. I use a Mad Catz TE...

I've read a lot on forums about not riding the gate on an arcade stick. Most people agree that when performing circular motions this is bad practice. However, resting on the gate is generally deemed ok for sustained blocking/crouching or charging. I've found I bump the gate a lot. It's...
