My best bet against Helena has been to not let her get to attack. Luckily most helena's all follow the same pattern, so that's pretty easy to do, barring basic human error or input lag causing me to get hit by Helena, in which case, rounds over, I lose.

I assume you play Mila. Just 6P her to stop her crush attacks then either go for a TD, do 3H+K, or if you're feeling lucky you can do a launcher from there.
When you counter... Your guessing.... Or predicting what your opponent is gonna throw out. This game IS random.

That's like saying chess is "random". Its not, its a matter of correctly reading, predicting, anticipating, and outmaneuvering. Just "guessing" would be just mashing counters and hoping they work.

The problem here, is I can't 6P after she's hit me, even once.
So like i said, best bet is preventing her from even managing to hit me. Unless I'm misunderstanding your advice.

Haha, Helena was so shitty that she went and turned DOA5 into DOA4++. If this force tech was applied to any other character in the game then they would be batshit broken. Fuck yo guaranteed stuns, 70% combos, guaranteed throws, nerfed holds, frame advantage, safety, speed, etc. . .

It's just that certain individuals here seem to see every thread as an opportunity to bash the game's core mechanics and spew out negativity. It makes me feel like a bunch of Tekken fanboys have invaded the community in an effort to undermine it. The core mechanics ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE, so it would be nice if we cound accept the game as it is and try to get better at it using the tools that are availabe. Case in point: If you feel you have to guess, try to find out ways how to guess right more often than wrong, using... tadaa, yomi.
Just as a heads up in regards to the earlier "Helena mains" discussion, in the "Who is your favorite/main character" thread, Helena was favored over every other character. Link
edit: I'd actually be interested in creating that thread over again as a poll now that the game's been out a while longer. The results would be interesting.

It may be true that while countering you are guessing or predicting but it is your choice to counter you don' t have to counter the opponents moves you can block them and if you pay very good attention and got good reflexes you can block every move, this game is as random as you are going to make it. If you just gonna randomly try and counter like a noob you would think this game is random just because you are doing random stuff. In DOA4 you could random counter and get pretty far with it, however if you would try and random counter in this game against a descent player you would get beaten pretty easily. I'm an amateur MMA fighter and i can tell you my friend a huge part of fighting in the ring is predicting and guessing what your opponent is going to do and try and react to it so if anything this game resembles true fighting better than any other game out there.

Nah, she isn't Jann Lee, Milsa or Alpha. She has to make a few solid guesses to knock you out.

Ya know, I said this as well, but all this talk about how great Helena is once she hit's you is getting me upset for some reason. I'll probably just focus for the next few days on solely finding ways to completely counter Helena just to stop people from giving her so much credit.
