DOA Q&A

In general -8 is considered "unsafe", because you can neutral throw break.

However, it should be noted that there's more than just disadvantage to be taken into account for "unsafeness".

Kasumi for example has (and its variants) which is -12 on guard, but the push-back on it in open space makes it so no throws faster than 12 frames can reach her, so technically it is safe.

Oh I see now thanks!

Yeah some moves have quite a bit of a push back and seems to make it safe even if the move is -10 or -11 on block due to the pushback.

What about using cetain unsafe moves from a certain range? Like for example someone uses a move that -11 on block but it unsafe if you use it up close, but safe if you use it from a range? Jann Lee's 7K is unsafe on block and when used up close but causes a small pushback, but if used from a distance it seems to be safe.

No stupid questions? Okay. Does DoA 5 Ultimate have a Sudden Death round if you're tied 2-2 with your computer opponent (via a double KO) or not?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have a double KO in the 2nd round, neither of you wins the round and you must fight a 3rd round with normal health and time.

Yup.

(also for acknowledging that was a legitimate question).

Hi, I'm not sure it's right place but can anyone explain me the changes in okizeme since DoA3? I haven't played DoA4 but I know now there are things like force techs, untechables etc etc. Where can I find anything about them?

Quesiton: Did they change the way high counter holds work? I remember for hayabusa I could always input his high counter hold izuna but everytime I try to do it now 90% of the time he just moves and blocks

I think a little bit, but it's hardly noticeable. It's probably just online being wonky.

 

[Fiend Busa]

I can't even do it offline either lol D:

Ryu just moves a little and then blocks

 

[Matt Ponton]

You're waiting too long to push then.

 

[Fiend Busa]

I push it right after the input

 

[Matt Ponton]

push it with the input.

 

[Fiend Busa]

Ok thanks, I will try it out tomorrow

I have a question. What does "R1F" mean? I do not remember this term being used in vanilla DOA5 at all, and I've seen people using this term in DOA5U.
