Use the shit out of 6P+K (66P+K in vanilla).
I'm going to need to do that. Idk what move it is. I've transitioned from the analog to the pad as I don't have the control I have in DoA4 with this game.
I am liking 6K. I always liked it. I wish
had a combo 6k3k where he does a love toe tap like in his 1kk combo. I really like P+K when they are grounded, but I'm trying not to use that as apparently it doesn't hit downed people in 5U (WHYYY???)
Getting back mid punch hold punishing with good ole
. I still love seeing it and since too many of
moves still are mid punch heavy, I try not to use them much. I use them only after a punish since many... MANY people hold mid punch or low. against me (they hold low b/c everyone does that to duck high's... but that doesn't really work on the strings I use).
I really don't like his 9K (I think it is that one... the lousy looking full soccerball kick), but I does hit on downed. I've been using 8P to hit downed. I love that move.... like IN LOVE with it. I was upset that they got rid of the original on in Doa4 (the inverted mach punch to the ground), but it works the same way and is more
in terms of double-axe handle attacks. I'm getting much better at not completing combos. Most of this would come from practicing in training and trying strings out on the cpu to get critical burst. Man I love pulling that off even though I don't really like that DoA now has power moves. I liked when it was straight up fighting with no supers.
I'm not too keen on how to start matches when someone rushes down before start. I can 8PK to throw once maybe twice if they aren't good. I've tried 3P and
as well. Sometimes 1P since without fail they spam P or a faster mid P than I have. Should I trying blocking at the start? What are some good leading attacks?
