The official Dead or Alive 5 website has been updated! Check it out! http://teamninja-studio.com/doa5/

You can find screenshots and the video of Leifang and Zack in the new circus stage we just revealed - The Show!

FYI, we've incorporated some Alpha Demo feedback. It's pretty subtle, though, so I'll do more system talk again later.

先日つぶやいた「レイファンVSザックに入っている一部の変更点」ですが、そのひとつは「ホールド」です。ホールドについては地域問わず、かなり多数のご意見をいただきました。

ホールドの属性が、「上・中・下の3択」だった体験版とは異なり、今のバージョンでは「上・中P・中K・下の4択」になっています。

もともと対戦バランスにおいて優れている4択ホールドですが、中段キックホールドができない初心者も多くかなり悩んでいました。

しかし、体験版を遊んだお客様からの多数の声に後押しされて決意しました。もちろん、初心者でも4択ホールドを楽しめるゲームに仕上げるつもりです。

試しに社内の初心者たちにプレイさせてみたら「ちょっと練習すれば楽しめるようになる」と言う意見が出たので、その「ちょっと練習する機会」を盛り込もうと思っています。

思えば自分自身も最初からホールドが出来たわけではなく、まずは技が多く、出しやすい中段Pに的を絞ってホールドするように練習したものです。

それが取れてきたら、今度は起き上がり蹴りで中段Kを取る練習をしました。起き上がり蹴りには下段もあるので、そこで下段との2択を出し分ける練習もしました。

今では起き上がり蹴りもある程度見て取れるようになっているので、きっかけさえあればできるようになるわけです。ここまでくると、ホールドの駆け引きがどんどん面白くなります。

他にも変更点はあるので、また説明しようと思いますが、最近開発業務中にあまり時間がとれないので、もしかしたらE3の会場で話すかもしれません。ではまた！

Four-point hold... =(

 

[RoboJoe]

4-point is back or 4-point isn't coming back?

 

[grap3fruitman]

Four-point is back.

 

[RoboJoe]

Huh, I figured you for a 4-point man.

 

[virtuaPAI]

I really could not careless, well I do care a lil lol..4 point may have a bigger impact due to how the progress of the game has changed compared to doa4.

 

[Keylay]

Four-point hold... =(

Why so sad? There could be other changes made to holds as well.

 

[FakeSypha]

4-point-hold is in consideration to be at DOA5, or is confirmed? Can't read moonrunes and google translate gives me nonsense.

 

[Berzerk!]

This is good news, and I think you can treat it as confirmed.

To think making the holds 4-point is anything but good news is a bit silly, as we know they have made, and will continue to make, other tweaks to the system to make holds less of a focus, or the only answer in defence.

ChrisHarris' editorial explains quite well that holds have already changed for the better, with 4 point, it makes attacking a more assured proposition for those key mid attacks.

We know that even small tweaks to frame data or other properties in a fighting game can have a significant effect on the game as a whole, so adding 4 point PLUS we know there are other changes, really points to a positive direction.

Here's the dodgy google translate for those that are lazy:

Is "Changes to some of the fan that comes with VS Zach Ray," muttered the other day is a "hold" is one of them. Hold for any region, we had quite a few opinions.

Trial and attributes of the hold, was "selected, middle and bottom three on" is different, but it is in a "selected in the K · P · 4 under on the middle" in the version for now.

Hold 4 is selected is excellent in the balance against the original, was suffering from quite a few beginners can not hold the middle kick.

However, it was determined to boost the voice of many are playing the trial version from our customers. Of course, I'm going to finish the game enjoy the four selected hold even for beginners.

When the opinion came out so I say let beginners play their in-house to try to "be able to enjoy if you practice a little", but only you can put and I think that the "opportunity to practice a little."

Not necessarily from the beginning was able to hold their own even if seems, is practiced so as to hold the middle focuses on many P moves first, easy out.

When did the practice have taken it, in turn, take a kick in the middle K got up. Is lower because some got up to kick, was also issued a separate practice and selected two of the bottom there.

Because now it got up to kick As can be seen to some extent, is not be able to if they have an opportunity. And come up here, bargaining will hold more and more interesting.

But I also try to explain the changes, because there are other, can not be taken so much time in recent development work, you may speak at the venue of E3 maybe. Also in!

English Translation please, lol.

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

well if my japanese serves me correctly ...
今のバージョンでは「上・中P・中K・下の4択」になっています。
means that the current version of the game is a 4 point system ...
seems pretty confirmed to me ...
im not happy with it tho ...

i dont know i kinda like the 3 point hold + 2 advanced hold system ... I hope they reconsider ...
especially with the current flow of the game ...
i like that it feels like DOA3 again ...

but thats just me ...

i seriously hope they change it back...

 

[Raansu]

4 point hold is a good thing given that there are so many mids in the game and there is still the issue of not enough unholdable situations.

 

[Master_Thespian]

LOL. 4 point holds is the concession they made so they can yet again avoid removing holds from stun. GGs to anyone complained to get that put in instead of something more useful.

Whatever.
