this game feels vastly diffrent from the previous

But even when you excute the moves correctly sometimes it won't response or it may come out as a different move which can fuck up your play style. The movement is fine but unfortunately it feels like the old school Tekken sometimes.

That would definitely suck if that's the case and I have heard and read similar reports.

So I have been playing doa since it came out on the xbox. Id say i did pretty ok in doa4,A+ for a casual gamer who doesn't go on that much. I decided to pick up doa 5 and see if I still got it.. and boy do I not lol. I am trying to get use to this much slower pace doa. I use to play on the defense and use counters. But not only are the counters a little harder to pull off but I notice they got quite the nerf . So basically im getting raped by some one who just spams mid punches. Its doa but it feels very different... any suggestions. lol

Ya just gotta relearn the timing. I still play defense and counter, and most of my damage winds up coming from countering the opponent.

I think of it like this. Whereas in previous DOAs, countering was a stance you held for a second, now its a quick move like a jab. Its all about how ya think about it (Like how I sucked at sniping in Battlefield till my friend pointed out its like artillery, which i excel at. Moment he said that, i switched mindsets and was suddenly great at sniping lol)
