Been watching previous NicoNico videos of the JPN tournaments and A-cho videos on youtube and there are huge amount of Hayate players over there it seems. Perhaps some of the talented players over there just happen to pick and like Hayate, who knows really. I am rather curious as to why Pai, Nyotengu, Marie Rose, Alpha or even Jacky to be that low. If anything, I am starting to think they just don't have the players using those characters.
My bad.... what about tagging ?
@XZero264
I think he means neither.
Well he did direct the game..... maybe he knows something we don't.....
Yes. We just figured out that Shimbori doesn't play the game much.
Japanese players use Arcade Sticks right ? That might be making them play differently....
Well he did direct the game..... maybe he knows something we don't.....
I don't think the type of controller you use (In DOA standards) should matter....well, it shouldn't in the general case for this game.
He labeled Akira as a (S+) while everybody under that an S. However, I truly believe most of that theory with Akira being the best character in the game along with Hayabusa, Leifang, Kasumi, Bayman, Ayane and Hayate right under Akira were likely based on gathered up table talk from the devs sitting down together or generated from a computer. In other words, paper fighter. Outcomes that should happen on paper but we, as human beings are obviously much more smarter than that, oh yes.
When it comes to things on paper, the super duper development team expects the Akira player to counter/parry/guard break/throw everything you see perfectly, they expect you to just run up and parry to obviously get it right because derp, paper. They expect the person using Akira to shoot out a palm or pop a shoulder in between a 4-attack string while avoiding the moves using the universal SS and perform it on the 3rd strike that is ridiculously risky and ballsy to just throw that move in there, but obviously we have super humans in this world. I personally am not a big a fan of paper fighter theory and logic because some of that stuff does not actually happen within matches. Maybe what he said about Akira could very well be true on being a supreme character, but none of that even matters when things don't exactly go into plan from what the paper states. So unless you are dealing with an actual mind reader (Which no such person exists) who always has precise inputs (hard to believe), there is really nothing to worry about or even believing it. The control of the matches change, players having the life lead, pressure etc etc. Does paper mention any of that? doubt it because the computer making a paper tier list is an unemotional device or Shimbori was just trolling so that people can stop asking him questions. Not to mention that characters like Leifang, Ayane and Christie can take advantage of this because Akira has to be forced to perform certain inputs just to do it, so it all adds up to what particularly happens within the match, same thing with Hayabusa, it seems Hayabusa was having a field day and Izuna holding everybody or extreme throw reads from him. So far, this is the community version of the top 20 players in Japan so I rather take the community version by Japan more serious than the one generated by the devs or some silly computer.
Anyways, don't want to go off topic but seriously, I am curious about Pai, Nyotengu, Marie Rose, Jacky and Alpha being down there.
