DOA5: New Gameplay Demo Trailer of Ayane and Hitomi

[Rikuto]

People are already accepting it based on the Akira trailer alone. If you can get around holds, it won't be an issue. No one will complain if you stun an opponent, they attempt a hold and go right through the hold, counter hit launching them for 40%.

Not exactly what happens in 3.1. It's more like either the stun is so deep that you can't hold at all, or they try to hold but that attack has properties that result in the character sidestepping rather than reflecting the damage.

If there are actually attacks in 5 that just go right through the hold itself and launch the fuck out of you in the process, great. I don't know if that was ever on the table or if that was mistranslated as the hold i already mentioned though.
