I wish there were more character-specific versions of this thread. But anyway guys, I'm gonna repost this from another thread:
"Throw in costumes, cool factor, looks, some story stuff, etc. and you have a mess to choose from, right? Well, it took some years, even after playing online A LOT, and I narrowed it down. I took Christie offline, but I found her offense and mixups were great, but her damage (especially throw damage) was just bad. In remember ppl telling me that I could have won more matches if my throw damage was better. So I picked my favorite wrestler, Tina, and I found her fun in a more all-around-but-great-throw-damage kind of way. I even remember my tag team being named ChrisTina. Man, those were good times, before everybody got tired of the game and essentially shelving DoA4."
In terms of DOA5, she just seems to feel...different. I wasn't a huge fan of the serpent stance, but it did give her reach, something she sorely needed. The sidestep stance just ain't doin it for me, and her guard breaks are all mid punches so I get mid-punch countered a LOT. Her throws are very slightly stronger than Rig's (with a good stance), but her juggle damage is still weak. I love the threat of her speed, but she feels like she's missing something, or a couple of somethings. I used to feel pumped up when I got her in random, and now she feels weird. Would anybody know why? I know I'm probably misunderstanding her, but she feels like she ain't speakin my language no more.
