An answer that short is worthy of making me type a very
very long ranting post but I'm going to not do that and try t keep this brief.
I don't want him to be easy mode, but I do want him to be
good.
- Sabakis
- Advanced Holds
- Parries
- General frame advantage
- NH stun lows
- Speed
- Sit down stuns
-
Any guaranteed damage
- 13 frame mid kick launcher which he had in the other 3 DOA games he was in
He has
none of these things from what we've seen. So.. what does he have? Oh yeah those OH's that people seem to complain about for whatever reason. Damage? Akira and Jann Lee do more (Oh and they're both faster and have parries and OH's wouldn't ya know it?). Throws? Holds? Lei and Busa have better ones. Oh and they're faster too. In fact, If you can name
one thing Ein actually excels at in this game, then I'll just shut up.
For me, DOA4 Ein was a vast improvement over DOA2 Ein. Guard brakes, sweep, 6P+K doing a stun on NH etc. I don´t want DOA2 Ein back... DOA4 Ein plus 2-3 new useful moves and a little safer... That´s it.
6P+K, 7P and 46K buffs were great, but he didn't need them in DOA2.
7K was an unholdable mid kick launcher which would track in this game also. 33T effectively took a 3rd of your health on hi counter throw and Ein overall did more ridiculous damage.
I don't want DOA2 Ein back either, an enhanced DOA4 Ein would be perfect. But the point is they aren't keeping him the same, they're making him worse. Every. Game.
