I fucking hate survival mode. Fucking AI reading inputs and wasting time. I hate this mode and putting costume colors behind this mode is fucking excruciating. I hate playing AI and doing the same move over and over and over against brain dead AI only for it to start reading your inputs is maddening.

Absolutely awful mode.

I'd hug you if I could. I know EXACTLY how you're feeling :(
 
Also fuck this game Menus and loading times

I litterally AVOID going into training if i wanna play Ranked because going back into that mode after the match is done takes fuckin FOREVER
 
LOL, these costumes are going to be available for purchase in a couple months probably.

Seriously, the people buying them for $30+ on ebay are crazy.

Went from 950LP to 300LP today. Somehow the fights are getting harder. How the hell.

The more time passes, the more beginners give up while the people who are decent stick around. It'll probably never be as easy as it was yesterday.
 
You have to search for players then add them to your favourites. Then go to Battle Lounge and invite them. But good luck with that since the Battle Lounge has barely worked so far.

You have to manually search for a player already on your friends list and add them to your favorites? Lol. That is really dumb.
 
Well finally got my first match and loss over with. 4 connection but it was pretty teleport happy. Here comes battle number two.

If you were playing a ton during the day, I imagine the people who are at home mid-day are probably better than the average user. Also, there could just be some bad habits of yours that set in. You should upload a few matches or share your CFN name so we can see some replays and analyze your losses.
 
Got disconnected while doing some Survival mode (first time this happened for me btw!) and decided to hit the lab with Claw. Gotta say, way better than I originally anticipated. I tried picking him up in Beta 2 but it didn't really play out well. I was sort of deciding between Dictator & Claw for my 2nd, as i've gotten pretty good with Necalli but would like another character to explore the game with, and I think Claw & Cammy are gonna be those characters for me until my main Urien comes out.

Also, gonna buy the Season Pass and use FM to buy costumes. Its super early days, but the fighting system they crafted in this game is incredible, and I hope to see Capcom & Sony continue supporting the game for a long time to come.
 
Cool thanks for the tips. I definetly don't know what to do after a hard knockdown, I usually try to go for her command grab and get destroyed on their wake up. I'm about to go back into the lab and look up some more combos.

Here is a pretty good match that shows more of a playstyle you should have with her. Take note of the pokes with lights, movement, fireball use, and command throw setups.

Ok after logging out and playing in offline mode my stick is working fine now...wtf..

Edit: Aaaaaaaand I spoke too soon.

The game tries to match you against people close to your rank, but if it works like it does in the betas, your rank isn't updated immediately after every match. So, you might have cruised to 950LP while being matched against players close to 0LP the whole time, then your rank was recalculated, and now you're getting paired with ~1000LP players.
 
So I played every character's story mode again to try to recoup the 11k Capcom didn't give me out of the 160k total. I got 2k back in a R. Mika match, and that was it. Still missing 9k.

This feels great.
 
Um what? DOA5 has costumes that range from 2 to 5 bucks on the store. Where did you get that DOA5's were cheaper. Your point still stands but still.

The most expensive DOA5 costumes are $2.99 and they're the destructable ones. All the others are $2, which is still pretty silly. DOA5 is basically a Costume-Delivery Platform, I have no idea who is spending the hundreds of dollars for the costumes and season passes but they are definitely out there.

DOA5 also comes with a large collection of alternate costumes included in the game. Not just 2. And unlocking them is easy and not limited to one mode..

Now that I think about it, this is what vanilla DOA5 launched with for $60, in addition to 23 characters, a number of alternate costumes and a good selection of multiple evolving, segmented and interactive stages:
From Wikipedia:
The game has four main modes: Story (the main Story Mode and its bonus Missions), Fighting (offline modes, including Versus, Arcade, Time Attack and Survival), Online (Simple Match, Ranked Match and Lobby Match) and Extras. Training Mode has more features than the previous Dead or Alive games, including allowing for players to adjust the AI opponent's behavior. Online modes include an ability to organize and host tournaments for up to 16 players, Spectator Mode enabling users to chat with other players while watching fights, and Online Dojo, a training mode where one can practice with other players.[5] Extras include Spectator, where players can watch replay of their matches, or watch fights between two AI players, and also take photographs from a position and angle of their choosing with a fully controllable camera.

This also overlooks tag mode, which was available offline.

I'm going to also add that the story mode, while dumb IMO, was at least fully-cinematic AND several hours long. At launch.
 
I finally got into a few battles and was actually able to dish out some ass whoopings. Game played really smoothly as well.

Was a strong finish to a disappointing night
 
Christ, I didn't think I'd see people rage quit on battle lounge but it happened after the first round.

With this game the servers could very well be dropping people and it not being a rage quit. Last time I tried lobbies my friends game would crash in the match.
 
This is literally the worst design choice I have ever heard of...what in the actual fuck?

It actually makes a ton of sense for ranked since you're most likely playing competitively and don't want to sit through a character/map select screen every time you get into a match as it'd be much faster to just match up and go.

Lobbies you can set map/character selection, but character/map selection probably should be there for unranked.

Reminds me of Vanilla SFIV grinding survival for colors, of course they changed it for super but they thought it was a good idea again for some reason. Guess they needed another mode you could earn FM in.
 
Necalli sure seems like a fun character. Good normals, frame trap monster, easy hit confirms, an invincible dp with the fattest hit box, command grab, and an overhead. Dude has options!

Yeah, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to choose characters for Casual matches. It makes perfect sense for Ranked, though.
 
I finally managed to get that 3-win streak for ranked matches trophy after a few of my opponents got disconnected (or maybe rage quit?).


Quick question though. I've got PS plus on my primary US account, but not on my PAL account. Whenever I use my PAL account to play, I'm still able to get the occasional casual matches while doing training.

Does that mean that you don't need PS+ to play online matches if you aren't actively searching for them via the Ranked/Casual menu?

Also, during the betas, I did not have PS+ at all, and was still able to play online.
