DOA6 FSD, Sonic Fox and Kwiggle Streaming the Final Build of DOA6

​

You might not get Dead or Alive 6 as early as Free Step Dodge, Sonic Fox (and now his brother Kwiggle), but you will be able try all of the characters for yourself in the weekend demo (PS+ or XBOX LIVE required) that starts this Friday. While that's happening you can also spectate DOA6s first major appearance at Winter Brawl 3D if you didn't register for the tournament on time. Thanks to Sonic Fox's streamed matches with Xcalibur BladeZ, the community is already beginning to find some new complex mechanics in DOA6s final build.

All three streams had something valuable to share with the community for DOA6. Matt Ponton covered frame data and move lists, sharing information for characters like Bass and Tina who have been under utilized in the promotional material for DOA6. Kwiggle shared plenty of single player content that will be keep casuals and hardcore alike busy for weeks upon purchasing the game.

Sonic Fox plus Xcalibur BladeZ streamed plenty of hardcore matches and were very informative for any competitors going into the Winter Brawl: 3D edition tournament. They will not compete in the event because of getting DOA6 early, so their sacrifice is for your educational and entertainment purposes. Destruction Bomb offers thought provoking posts in the forum and is already juggling some of NiCO's possibilities because of the stream:

NiCO can teleport after the bolt GB even in open space. For a minute I thought the bolt had to connect to an opponent that gets hit/blocked/or if they try to hold the non-holdable strike, turns out she can do it out in the open. There may be consequences doing it right out in the open but may be useful to get yourself out of the pinch jam near walls. For starters, you can't hold that bolt. If you block it, it's a GB. If you held it, it forces you into a step.

In short, the recovery might be huge so you'd have to make Nico whiff to get a free hit (or even a throw).

Some people will discuss hair or put silly things under the microscope that are irrelevant to the point of fighting games, but this is the type of content that should be coming out of pre-release streams. The deluxe demo will provide everyone a chance to establish tech and ask questions in the forum before March 1st, so take advantage of that free game time and enjoy your weekend!

 

It puts the game on more people's radar. Whether or not anyone picks it up for longer than a week isn't the point. It's exposure to more people that may not have ever considered trying DOA. I understand your feelings on this being unfair but I kind of feel like you're being obtuse. There is no way you can skew either of these people getting a copy as anything but positive for the game without doing a lot of mental gymnastics. The purpose for early copies is promotional, not to give Sonic Fox an edge at tournaments.

But it gives him a edge no matter how you spin it. I understand this promotion. I mean my major in college talks about this in some aspects. (Communications and Media is my major.). I just feel you just get a bunch of thsoe same peopel who brought DBZF and quit because the game is too hard. I'm more of a person wants to have a playerbase that sticks around not an inflated of people solely only playing the game because it's the new toy. I want something the DBZF and Tekken community got going on.

That's not necessarily true, when Sonic touches a game it gets a lot of people to play it, especially when he showcases those really long combos like he does DBFZ, that gets people's attention and regardless on if they like the community or not, it still makes them want to try it out


And him having the game early tbh isn't an unfair advantage, the game not only releases in 10 days but we get a free demo in 4 days where we can tech hunt ourselves, plus Sonic Fox plays multiple games so he's likely not gonna focus on DOA just yet. As long as you have been following with your main's improvements and buff from the recent builds and such, it's not like you're gonna be far behind when the game does release

Dude people played DBZF because what it was not because of him playing it. His fanbase rally behind as he took down the monster GO1 at EVO. They really rally behind him in anything he plays. There is nothing wrong with this but it would be great the people who get excited he wins also played the game instead of acting like they won something because Sonic did. Let's face it his fanbase only cares about games he wins in.

Dude DOA is one of his favorite games. He will be grinding it. He has always liked the DOA games. He will be balancing it with MK11. Also 10 is a lot to a player like him that treats like his job. There is no trounaments he has to go, or he doesn't have to stream heavily. The Demo we have is nice but it's not everything.

Yeah but not only that but how he plays inspired and encourages other players so much to the point they even tag him in their videos for him to notice him. Plus he can make games alot more relevant than what they were initially, like SC6 got alot more shine when he played Azwel and uncovered some tech with him. And I know he likes DOA, but that's not his main focus tho. Iirc he's even said he would only play it for the money at tourneys which shows that he can drop a game and pick it much later like it's nothing, you can't really include favorite game and Sonic in the same sentence he's basically a jack of all games xD

I know, but even he has his favorite games. I know he will want some of that DOA money along with NRS money. I expect him to focus on those until the next DBZF world tour starts.

 

Because you can't just release a game one console once it's "completed". You need to send in a release candidate for testing and certification - something that can take up to a month or more. And even then, you're still working on the game during the time it's in cert, because there's no such thing as truly bug free software, so you're still addressing stuff up until launch (hence, day 1 patches).

This guy. He gets it.

 

You forget how much of a tech junkie Matt is.

 

Brad lost is BT throw setup. The stun from the first free hit doesn't crumple like it does in 5.

 

It's only 10 days. This isn't like Capcom giving Filipino Champ months to practice Dormammu setups in MVCI or Bas not telling Capcom about roll cancelling in CVS2 while he was bugtesting

Shit, Arturo Sanchez gets NRS games this far out in advance because he knows a guy who will break street date for him

 

This is kind of unfair. Sonic will able to lab way harder than most of us and be more polish. I know he was one of the best in 5, but to get the game this early is kind of fucked up. Where is Rikuto's early copy? He's an EVO Champion. This feels like someone abusing their status as a pro player and big personality in the FGC. Props to Fox, but part of me finds this to be scummy as we only get three days with the near full build but he has a couple of weeks on top of us.

Rikutos is actually getting the collected edition from KTE lmao

Damn son....he has the hook up.

Well it helps Arturo is pretty decent at NRS games.

 

Bas not telling Capcom about roll cancelling in CVS2 while he was bugtesting

It wasn't RCing (which wasn't discovered until after release), but Bison's "paint the fence" CC combos.

 

Sonic Fox is back on live stream with DOA6! More characters and awesome gameplay inbound!

WE should call you Deathofnewsalert instead of ninja. Good work.

 

Kwiggle is now streaming DOA6 too. Coincidence?
