Pretty cool trick to get behind the enemy with the environment?

[WAZAAAAA]

So I was specifically searching for some recent DOA Online PC matches played by Jann Lee to possibly learn something new with my character, and oh well, it happened, I actually learned some good stuff just by watching the first minutes of the video. That Jann Lee in the video seemed pretty damn decent to me. Just to name them:
1. (on Normal hit) can be linked with
2. and the subject of this thread. Going behind the enemy by freestepdodging during a deep stun caused by you and the environment in case the enemy doesn't Hold-while-stun (see this video at 2:30 for reference

). As everyone should know, once the enemy shows his back to you he can't Hold during your combo/stun status so it's a pretty smart maneuver that lets you continue your combo without giving the enemy a chance to Hold anymore!

Did you ever see that done before? Because it's completely new for me and I was amazed.

Yes, that's the 180 FSD.

Right when I thought that the free step dodge was completely useless in this game, hah!

I've searched 180 FSD on Google and I've found this http://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/the-180-fsd-by-mr-wah.505/ but it's not displayed during actual combos/stuns like in the video I linked

"by mr wah". Is that the reason of why this site is called FreeStepDodge lol?

There's a few reasons we chose Free Step Dodge as the name.

However, Jann Lee generally has the easiest time with this technique due to his and attacks. They keep him close to the opponent as they are put in a lift stun animation. To understand why this is helpful you have to understand circular distances. For example, the character doesn't have to walk that far in the background/foreground the closer they are to the opponent as the circular circumference is decreased in size.

Jann Lee also benefits in this because he generally has a faster speed of stepping.

So basically you will do on counter hit or on water and do a dash buffer then the direction to Free Step _. Of course, it's faster to get around the opponent by going the direction Jann Lee's back is facing.

Tina is another one who can do this well, and is a core part of her game in DOA3.1, where she does and steps with so that she can either or get around and back turn stun them.

Look at the 3rd post. That is if you haven't came across the thread yet.

There are difference in the walking/dashing/stepping speed for characters? Is there a list? Who is the slowest and the fastest?

Thanks for the link Allan

Check the DOA3 board. One of VirtuaPai's posts I believe talks about it.

big stun with big frame advantage into holding UP
depending on the move you might need to add a little forward dash before holding UP
