Dead or Alive veteran back for more fighting entertainment. For those of you who remember me online, I mastered Helena and Lei Fang in DOA 2 Ultimate, mastered Christie and Helena in DOA 4, and now mastering Helena and Tina in DOA 5. I will be living on the East Coast in Virginia; If anyone wants some offline battles, hit me up. I will be entering offline tournament scene 2013.
what part of VA? NOVA(north) or SOVA(south)?

We'll be more than happy to receive anyone that still wants a place to chat about DoA. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

What's up, FreeStepDodge!? Dante here. I'm looking forward to slaying demons- I mean, meeting new and interesting people! The community seems very friendly, so I already have a good first impression of the forum. Although I would say that I need some guidance when it comes to DOA, considering I'm still a newcomer. Hopefully you guys can fill me in and teach me your ways. Let's rock! ;)

Yup! It would be another smokin' sick combat style I could add to my list. *Snaps fingers* "It's SSShowtime... Hayabusa fighting style!" Demons would be crying home to mommy in no time.

Welcome to FreeStepDodge, Dante. Hope you enjoy your stay here with us, and good luck taking the path of learning the Hayabusa ninjutsu art style.

Well, I started playing DoA about two months ago (and it's my first fighting game), in December, for the first time. I really want to learn how to play this game to the fullest, so I decided to join FreeStepDodge.

For the most part, I definitely a lot by watching a lot of competitive DoA5 videos with matches from Vanessa, Master, Black Mamba, Mochi A, Rikuto, practically any competitive DoA match I can get my hands on, and study what the players do and how they adapt to certain situations. I try incorporating what I see into my playstyle, and see how I can adjust that as well.

I'm mostly the combo-type aggressive player, making a lot of use out of the stun system and mostly using Critical Burst setups, though if there's a way I can get an early launcher, I would always go for that since it's guaranteed damage. My weakness would probably be adaptation and dealing with offensive holds, since that always gets me every time I try to get aggressive on someone. I also have the tendency to spam the mid-punch hold since I panic under pressure, though I'm learning how to make better reads. I also don't block, but I'm pretty good at spacing so it's not too big of an issue.

Onto my other likes not DoA-related, I enjoy graphic design and Kalafina. I have a portfolio up, though it's pretty average, I would say. One example of one of the pieces on my portfolio (featuring Kasumi).

I'm also a moderator on the KoeiWarriors Forums, and I love both the DoA series and the Dynasty Warriors series (and this is the second forum I'm joining next to KWF). But in any case, I hope I enjoy my time here in FSD to get to know the community and have fun.
