You had the option to turn on double-direction holds in the Dreamcast and PS2 versions of DOA2.

I have been trying to figure out who the hell you were arguing with. Now I know, this ignore feature is nice.
I was just doing this on my DC copy of the game. It makes the game more fun IMO and it's helping me break my dependency on holds. It's a really nice learning tool. Did they give you that option in 2U?
Nope, which is why I specified the DC and PS2 versions. 2U is four-point but single direction.
I feel slow now haha.
I'm having one of those days myself.
honestly ...
after playing doa4 for 2 hours yesterday ... and rinsing out the alpha demo for the past few months ..
having 3 point or 4 point is no big deal in my opinion ...
its all the tweaks around the hold ...
doa4s shit recovery, insane damage and long ass active frames make holds too fricken broken ... its dumb and stupid .. you get out of stun so easy theres hardly a point to slow escape .. and then you can just throw in a follow up hold .. its retarded ... hell sometimes you can hold .. then mash jabs to avoid a counter throw ... they're that stupidly fast ...
doa5 alpha .. despite having 3 point ... gave offensive advantage ... and made the stun extension of the holds worth something ... also the damage decrease to holds really has a huge impact ... it just makes it a far more aggressive game ... they really are a bigger gamble to do now and you really have to think them through .. i love it !
i dont think 4 point will harm it .. nor will 3 point ... because the tweaks themselves are whats making more sense.
man ... e3 .. hurry the hell up !

So all you had to do was; play the alpha demo, and then go back to play that game to see the brokenness we have been arguing with you for the past couple months. Well at least you know, now.
I never disagreed about the brokenness... But i didnt like the solutions proposed ...
Especially since most the problems were drasticly fixed in alpha... And i wad basing my opinion on the doa5 point of view (which is why i was strongly against removing holds out of stun)
I just didnt realize the extent of the shitfest we were playing till i acctually went back to play it after so long
This also makes me alot more confident that what we're getting is an amazing upgrade...

As basic as it sounds - its good that you formed some ideas, then played, tested your assumptions, and checked them against the actual game experience.
The part about 3 or 4 point not making much difference though, you'll notice when you play human opponents in 3 point then 4 point or vice versa and talk to them about their habits, you'll know going from 4 to 3 that they are getting lucky at times they shouldn't.
Also, its a good mental test for yourself to mentally think about whether you want to hold a mid kick or mid punch when you're doing mid hold in 3 point and ask yourself how many times you were wrong.

I played DOA4 on a friend's gold account the other day and I was still owning w/Zack and Tengu despite not having played for a couple years. I was still seeing people throw out 3 counters in a row, but you know what happens to em? Half-circle-forward-A! 
Sometimes they get lucky but if you're good you still come out on top, even in DOA4

WiiU most likely. Since it's getting an updated version of NG3 already, this seems like the most logical step.
they better not get an update on wiiu of this game otherwise heads will roll...
unless we get the same update as well...
im not playing this game on a fucking i pad either ... either give me a stick ... or screw their dumb touch screen
