The future of Helena Douglas

[KwonJigglypuff]

Here is a (vintage) video to learn Piguaquan.

In PINK : Potential New Moves

I don't know if these moves are famous in the discipline, but they seemed to inspire some of Helena's most iconic moves. It's nice to see that TN was faithful to the art.

Here are some gifs.

236P+K (from BKO)

66K+H + windmill follow-up

BKO 6PPP

BKO 6P+K [CB]

214PP

BT 6PPP (without walking/jumping animation)

66KPP (without the last charging P)

BKO 22P + inexistant move

DOA2 demo's Diving Dolphin

Inspiration for a new Power Blow or a Victory Pose.

Wow where did you get these?

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

It's the first link in my post, darling!

What I found interesting is that Xiaoyu's pigua in Tekken (created in 1997) is way more energetic compared to Helena's in DOA (created in 1999). Well, both are faithful to the art and fit the character's personalities anyway.

It's nice to see that TN did some research. Well, in DOA2 her pigua wasn't so well transcribed compared to now.

What about Marie-Rose's systema, lol..?

Marie-Rose's systema will require some...time.

Wow, that's really cool, it's cool to see moves in real life. Helena's style has always been one of my favs, the flow is beautiful~

I was fortunate yesterday to see a Pi Gua Quan demonstration at a mall. I think the moves the exponent performed were:
+ 66H+K
+236PKP
+4P2P

Then his sifu brought a pile of bamboo sticks tied together and hit his arm with it to break them in half! It was just awesome!

What new moves would you like to see for Helena ?

66K+H follow-ups (Uryu-Banda "windmill" OR Atsuda "sit down stun")

Spoiler

BKO low throw (15 of damage / similar to Lisa's BT throw)

Spoiler

Diving Dophin (based on the DOA2 demo / similar to Ryu's 44P)

Spoiler

New BT throw - BT opponent - using her BT_K (with a better sound effect)

Spoiler

New animated taunts

Spoiler

"Is that your best ?"

"Oh dear.."

Here is a document I made with some personal requests for Helena in the future (Moveset + Casual).
If the serie was to come back, what would be yours ?
Keep dreamin fighters. DOA is not dead.

 

[Project Bokuho]

Interesting stuff.

Helena all the naughty little ones again and goes back to her DOATEC thrown.
