Main Changing

I don't know what Team Ninja has planned, but I was not going to do any more. When I finish the guide next week I guess I can look into doing more videos, but it really depends on how I feel. I'm putting in about 18 hours a day to get the guide done in time, which means I'm going to want a break from the game before it releases. Not sure how long that break will be, but no real sense in doing Helena videos a week before the game releases.

We'll see though...
Sounds good, It would be nice to see some DOA5 Helena stuff. Those two videos only showed a powerblow and that's about it. I'd love to see how her sit down stuns work and maybe a CB combo.

Dunno. I'll wait until it's released and I play the full roster before deciding.

In DOA2, DOA2U, and DOA3 my main was Bayman and secondary was Kasumi.

In the horrid yet fun DOA4 I jumped around from Kasumi, Lisa, Jann Lee, and Bayman.

In DOA4, I genuinely liked Lisa more than Kasumi, in DOA5, Lisa is in a league of her own.

So my mains in DOA5 will be Lisa and Bayman by a landslide.
I'm however interested in Mila because she's a grappler... ^_-

I don't think I could ever drop Helena. I'd stop playing the game before that happened. Which is what happened with SCV, I didn't drop Ivy but I did stop playing the game.

This is very complicated for me. There are just too many characters I like in the game and I haven't seen Mila, Fu and Pai yet so that makes me interested in them. I'm 100% sure I'll main Jann Lee because he was my favorite in DOA2U and DOA3 and never got good with him in DOA4 because he sucked there. As my other main I'm extremely interested in Tina. I just fell in love with her in DOA3 (I kinda stopped playing DOA4 and went back to 3) and her new stuff is just too interesting. Besides, yes I admit, she's too beautiful for me.

But besides Jann and Tina, I'm gonna have Helena as a "casual" character to show off with people who don't know how to play. I just can't completely drop her because she was my main in DOA4, along with Busa who seems very interesting this time around. And besides those four I'll give a go to Rig, Eliot, Kokoro and Fang. So right now it's like this:

- Main: Jann Lee.
- Priority to: Helena, Busa and Tina.
- Interested in: Rig, Fang, Eliot, Kokoro.
- Possible VF character: Pai
- Interested in seeing: Fu and Mila.

That's like, half the cast, lol. But I know that after messing around with all those for like a month or two I'll finally decide on a couple which would most likely consist on Jann Lee and another.

Doa is one of the game allowing me to play with many characters.I've always mained Gen-Fu and Jann Lee.But with last iteration DOAD i've managed to learned many other chars like Helena Zack Tina Eliot and Leifang.The first thing i'll do when i'll finally have the chance to play will be as always.

-Sandbox for hours.....:).And i'll be happy to train online with you guys.

I'll first concentrate on Rig and Mila to learn the matchups,then i'll probably test new things with characters i am comfortable with.But what i a am the most intrested in is Akira.He's always been my main in vf,and i really want to see what he's able to do in Doa environment.If he ends up well ,it will be time to finally learn Kokoro,the characters i've always wanted to play but never seriously learned...:confused:

I'll stick with my main but i'll first try new things,it always helps me to learn new characters an breaks the monotony and bad habits of always playing with the same one.I can't wait to breakdown this game.Finding the best tag team will be fun,and if Mila ppears to be a boxer i'll have a lot of fun playing a Tae Kwon Do/Boxer team.

I go back to sleep ,please wake me up once DOA5 is out.....

I'm planning on using them all, but I'll be sticking to my mains of Hitomi, Christie ans Bayman for the most part. I'll probably give Rig and Mila some serious consideration too. Rig is looking awesome so far, and if DrDogg is as confident about Mila as he seems to be, then she could well be a contender for main as well.

Ryu will be my main, always. With kasumi and Hitomi as my subs. I may try out Bayman this time, he looks pretty cool.

I haven't played DOA in a while, so I don't technically have a main. I used to always use either Helena, Kasumi or Ayane though, so I'll most likely stick with them to see how they are (regardless of tier) and whether I like any of them a lot. I'll probably use story mode to get a feel for every character (if they're in story mode) and go from there too.

I must say I want to try out Tina though. She just looks fun to play. And since I used Sarah in VF5FS, I'll definitely use her too, although I want a DOA main so she'd be secondary.

Helena was my main in DOA4, but since it looks like she will play like a dumbed down version of her DOA4 self in 5 and I was already getting bored with her in the last game, I'm probably going to switch my main character this time. And I never really got into tag, so I will need two new characters. Christie and Leifang are at the top of my list right now, but I'm also interested in Rig and Kokoro.

Of course gonna stay maining Leifang. Don't see that ever changing. My second has always been Bayman (dat advanced counter love), and hes stronger than ever this time around, so Im super excited about that.

My third was Leon, and now that hes out, I'm really looking forward to playing Rig. He looks godly and I really like his movelist. Sarah's a choice too, because she is becoming my main in VF5.

I'm gonna main Tina with Lisa as second. I'll try tweaking with the new characters and everyone since I'm just an online player till the tumbleweeds roll in. But Tina and Lisa are locked on for forever.

My main in DOA4 is Tengu so I'm switching to Alpha in DOA5. My other main is Zack and he's being replaced with Mila this time.

I figure I'll also pick up Kasumi since I'll be maining Alpha, and Lisa or Tina for grappling.

My main in DOA4 is Tengu so I'm switching to Alpha in DOA5.

You and I are probably the only Tengu mains here, ha ha. I wonder if Alpha will be garbage tier, so that we can keep playing as a horribly underpowered boss character.

She couldn't possibly be any worse than Helena or Hayate, I think you'll be just fine.

I don't even care about tier, I just have a fetish for floating characters. :cool: Nice to see a fellow Tengu player though, I've only seen one other guy regularly use him (Subway)

BTW I don't have my 360 anymore so I've been playing on my friend's until DOA5 drops, her GT is iHeartNoobyz in case you want to get some Tengu vs Tengu going
