Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

[virtuaPAI]

Force techs was a good idea, but it conflicted with other game play elements. Also, force get-ups will still be in the game. Once you hit your opponent with a stomp/ground attack the opponent is forced to get up.

So FT's are really gone? If that's true I'm actually excited to see what TN have done with Helena. Hopefully that means no more +13 sit down stuns.

I dont even want to touch vanilla Doa5 now. These tweaks can have drastic effects on gameplay.... I am so curious. Just the few changes in Doa3 to Doa3.1 had a major impact. I have a feeling we are in for a new experience.

 

[Berzerk!]

Any specific new info with sources?

Everything is tight lipped. Total opposite of the reveal of vanilla Doa5.

I can confirm that force techs are not entirely gone... But things ... Changed...

The games looking better amd better..
And with the arcade involvement.. we're in for a treat.

4 player tag arcade link would be epic

Any reason you chose to not include whatever it is you know in your post?

Because I was directly instructed not to.

Who are you conversing with, 13 year old D&D players? Players have no reason to care whether game mechanic changes are widely known and TN wouldn't bother hiding info from the Western players they're just too lazy to tell us anything.

I can't see how arcade involvement would benefit us in anyway since arcades are obsolete outside of Japan.

Omegan, stop it, dude. He can't say anymore because he might actually get in trouble for it.

 

[David Gregg]

Sorry! I didn't realize he can't talk.

Do not take 13 year old D&D players lightly.

Omegan Eckhart, it's marketing you silly goose. Stop being greedy.

 

[HoodsXx]

If most force techs are gone, or they go back to DOA2/3 ground game for the most part. Can we get back DOA2/3 wakeup kicks? Where you could actually crush them w/o having to worry about it being thrown out? Plox...

If Hitomi loses her force tech and gains no good tools/guaranteed damage then she will officially be shit. Whiff punisher that was -3 on block and guaranteed a force tech that gave her +17 advantage was one of the few real threats she actually had.

Not to mention it was a true mid as well.

 

[Tenryuga]

Force techs aren't necessary. They weren't in 3.1, the game itself just needs to be solid enough that they aren't needed.

With more options against wake up kicks and better overall tools in the neutral game (like frame advantage...) there won't be such a need for it in order to keep additional pressure because it won't be 80% of the roster's only real way to do it.

Amen.

I hate all this "hush, hush" crap.

at least it seems like the good kind of hush hush,after seeing Cow's post im more on the side of excited than anxious.
