DOA5 Balance Footage - 07/13/12

[FakeSypha]

Oh, I was forgetting the wall game improvement. And yes, I was meaning changes from DOA4. Hmm, that's something I guess. Anyway, things could be better, but still promising more than DOA4.

>dat conformism

Well, thanks for clearing that up DrDogg. Reading your later posts made me realize I was in a super hype bubble, lol. Ahh... hope is the.. etc.

Edit: Hey! Why sidesteps aren't considered there? They should be treated and praised for them to be one of "the changes" making DOA "good". Unless you tell me SS (from what we've seen) aren't that useful.

I forgot about the new sidestep. It's useful, but the notation, recovery and limited options of the SS need to be addressed.

You can still spam holds just as easily as you could in DOA4. The changes to the holds really only impact them when used during the neutral game. In stun the use for holds hasn't changed much.

Theoretically, you can still win a match without using a single attack and without ever blocking. Not saying that would ever happen, or even that it's likely to happen, but it's something you can't say about any other fighting game.

There's this girl called Aoi Umenokoji who would like to have a word with you.

Is she saying, "Ow, my counters aren't working. This guy must have realized there are moves which I can't counter. Stop elbowing me in the gut. That's where my babies will live!"

Aoi lacks Reversals for which Attack Classes?

She's one character. It's not a blanket strategy that works in VF5 no matter what. However, it is a blanket strategy that could work with any character in DOA.

Throws?

And I'm pretty sure there are moves you can't counter in VF, but it's been a long time since I've looked it up. I wouldn't know for VF5FS.

I'm pretty sure she can counter everything now, but I was just kidding anyway. I know there's a huge difference between Aoi's reversals and DOA's hold game. Let's not get off topic, AGAIN.

 

[DriftSlave]

Aoi Can counter most attacks with her attack reversals however her stance hold is only specific attacks like Jabs and high kicks, lows seem to beat that along with throws and generally thats the one "counter" your going to see often...so it isn't that bad(actually from my knowledge it was toned down from VF4) anyways....yeah Aoi, Pai, Vanessa, Brad, and I think Goh all have attack reversals...but still its not universal like DOA's Holds....

goddamn Tina's hold do so much damage, it's like wolf's throw in early vf5fs ver. A lol.
