Why the HELL can't I leave during character select?

[SilverKhaos]

That has always bugged the hell out of me.

I know. What's the point in knowing that your opponent has a 1 bar connection if you cannot avoid it?

Well i'm talkin like...when i'm not even one of the people fighting at the moment. I'm in line, and I can't even leave even though I'm not playing!

Possibly a crash they couldn't fix so the only way to solve it was to stop leaving during character selection /shrug.

Yeah this is so stupid. What's the point of showing your opponent's connection if you can't leave when you get 1 bars?

 

[Princess Kasumi]

they need to patch this.

It wouldn't be so bad if they gave you more than 2 seconds between matches...

THIS! I was so sick and tired of not being able to leave the character select screen in DoA4, so why in the HECK did they bother porting that issue over to DoA5? It's pretty annoying, although the time between matches make up for it. Even then the waiting time is ridiculously too short when it used to be too long.

...............I wonder why I didn't put this in the patch suggestion thread sooner o_o

Ditto the OP.
...finish your match, say your farewells and then oh yeah, I'm stuck until you've selected your characters and your match starts, okay then well, peace out anyways
Bad part for me is when there's only 2 of us left in the room, I tend to cancel out of the match, and then cancel out of the cancel... oh, well, I guess I can play one more.

Probably to avoid more glitches/crashes than the game already has.

You can't leave during a match or during character select. Only during the three second interlude between matches. If this was to stop rage quits then it failed since a rage quitter can just turn off their console with the push of a button. All it does is stop you from legitimately returning to character select or leaving a game when you have to leave.

 

[Prince Adon]

You can leave during matches.

 

[Madian]

You can leave during matches.

Is it Select + a button?

Actually I don't even know if this topic is even on topic since the OP was stating while spectating matches. If you're talking while actually fighting then no. No fighter lets you leave like that anymore. It's not a bad thing.
