Do you like the critical burst?

[Doug Nguyen]

Chosen few depending on what attack was used to force the character up and what the speed of the next attack is.

Alright, have any examples for kasumi? Does her forward kick work, i use that mostly.

This was only in DOA4 and no longer applies to DOA5. I believe Kasumi has a setup for it, but again, it only works in DOA4.

Oh ok so you can still force tech though in DOA5, its just not unholdable right?

You can still force tech the opponent with anything that hits low enough. You just don't get an unholdable situation out of it.

Yeah. Kinda lame. Well, I won't miss it from Helena players. That stuff was scary.

Helena: stance grab, low kick, low kick, unholdable low sweep into stance=scary hahaha

That may be a noobish question but could someone explain how this critical burst thing works? I mean i understand that you cant counter out of it etc but i dont really understand how to get a critical burst. I heard something that everyone has a special critical burst attack but then someone said you have to do the same attack twice and stuff so im kinda confused right now...

It's a specific attack for each character. If the attack connects and does damage to exceed the Stun Threshold, then the opponent is put into an unholdable stun.

In the E3 build, if you started the Stun Threshold/Critical State with the specific attack, then did the specific attack again then you were exceeding the Stun Threshold.

That actually sounds quite good to me. So you have these to options to get a critical burst or did they change anything by now? Just asking cos you said it was that way in the E3 build. Btw thanks for the explanation!

 

[Matt Ponton]

There was feedback given about it. No one knows what their final decisions were, so it's subject to change.

So we have to wait. Do they show an updated build before release or was E3 pretty much the one and only chance to get your hands on the game?

 

[Matt Ponton]

You have the IPL series which is still going on. I believe the next event is the weekend of Aug 18th in California. They had the E3 build playable at a Europe event earlier this month. Additionally, GVN Summer Jam 6 will have an updated build a week after the next IPL event, though it may just be the same build as the IPL series.

 

[qoodname]

Ok so we just have to wait and see what happens.

Any sort of abusable offense is always good. And yes, I do play "MAHVELL," why do you ask?

 

[DriftSlave]

i think there is a fine line between abuseable and broken....critical burst are fine how they are now.

 

[RoboJoe]

MAHVELL

I gotta ask, why do you keep spelling it Mahvell?
