DOA2 Hardcore Help

[AyumiDOA]

Hey everyone,
To prepare for DOA5, I've purchased DOA2H since I only have a playstation 3.
I'm having trouble understanding the difference of certain move strings.

For example:
Ayane - Sosho - PPP

I either get the spinning palm strikes or the slower 3 hit into launcher combo. I tried to experiment with my timing, but I seem to not land one or the other consistently. It doesn't help that the instruction manual or guides don't tell the difference between both versions. Are DOA's strings that strict?


Thanks.

Ayane's a little trickier for newer players. The reason you're getting two different results is because you're doing it once while she's facing forward and the next time while she's facing backwards.They have the same input but depending on her stance, she'll give you different results.

All characters have some kind of moves while back-turned but Ayane has a lot and some of her moves leave her back-turned which you're probably having difficulty differentiating since you're new to the series.

Hope that was helpful.

Thanks for the helpful reply, Grap.
Yeah, I probably just gotta get used to it a bit more.
I guess what mainly threw me off was the fact that I got the spinning palm strikes while facing forward, and the cpu got the slower 3 hit version while facing forward, as well.
