I'd had people hold me pretty well. Then I switch to Momiji and then when the held they got thrown. I love when people hang themselves. <3

Any trick to getting an open connection (or is moderate the norm)? I have open ports. PS4 is on a static IP. Any other ideas?

Hmm I can't seem to find online opponents.
Network strength is set to 3+
Area is any
my NAT is moderate.
But all I get is every now and then 'Found an opponent but didn't meet your search criteria'... I don't wanna set opponent strength too high because I know I'm not very good...

I just play whoever. I'm only of moderate skill at best and I get steamrolled all the time. Doesn't bother me. I pick up a trick or two every once in a while and if you get slapped around enough times you start to learn move patterns for different characters which can improve your holding.

Kokoro is my weakness. I just can't figure out how to deal with a good Kokoro.

OK. I have transferred my X360 save successfully to X1. Now how can I download my purchased costumes on X1? The store is all messy and I didn't see the same bundles found on X360 e.g. Halloween bundle, Xmas etc. Are they buried somewhere?
 
Ranked game is stuck on "Loading..." after choosing my character.

Will I docked points for "quitting" I reset the game before the match actually starts?

Just dive in lobbies, really the best way to go IMO. Can always spectate first to see how they are if it's in action.

Tried the demo out, remembered how much fun I had with the older entries, caved and bought it for Xbox One.

GT: VRMaster if you want to kick my ass as I try to relearn the game.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
Huh, well seems playing Arcade with Throwdowns on makes the game freeze up at the results screen where it displays your score. On PS4 if you go into network settings real quick and uncheck the "go online" button then re check it it will turn off throwdowns allowing you to advance again.

This has happened to me numerous times as well. Thanks for the quick tip, I discovered that same solution power-cycling my modem, but your method is obviously faster.

Also, I never get matched up, constant "searching for opponents" but like 1 match per hour. Is there a fix for that? I have NAT 2, but fights are usually pretty smooth when I get one. Maybe it has something to do with my pitiful ranking? I'm still just an lowlie LR rank.

Man I am terrible at guards/holds/counters/whatever. Once I get stuck in a combo I'm pretty much done lol

When in doubt mash guard to block during stun. Low holds evade highs and regular throws and are likely to recover faster, putting you at advantage. Mid punch hold is the most common hold, so if you have to guess a hold that would be the best.

If you upload your gameplay to youtube I could give you pointers on what you might be doing wrong if you like.

I mainly have a hard time stunning people because they attack so quickly, so I have to resort to fast high punches when they're in my face but those are easy to hold. My other problem is simply my move amnesia. I forget my combos but that will probably get better over time.

I shall be hosting a lobby in the morning for maybe a hour or so. So let me know if you want in. I can also host Ps3 lobbies but I won't be playing in that one, but I can host them.

Setting connection to "any" in ranked matches solved a lot of the infinte searching player problem. Around 80 % of the matches i found that way worked just fine.

The 20% lag fest matches are a fair price to pay compared to not finding players at all. At least for me it is.
 
Geez. Thats gotta be one of the best bikinis in the game... with the best hair too.
Anyone have any video of this masterpiece?

It's pretty stupid actually. What point would it even have? Why not have characters completely topless at this point? Would certainly look more tasteful than this horrible design only a straight hormonally charged man would have come up with, and only a porn star would wear. My poor Christy :-(
The bob I like, though.

So, is the net code in this as broken as everybody is saying?

Do they actually have any normal clothes for DLC? Seems to be all crazy skimpy bikinis and cosplay outfits (maid, schoolgirl, Santa etc). What happened to the nice dresses they had in the original games? Or one piece swimsuits (I bet they have Japanese school swimsuits though..)

I'd like more normal clothes so my wife doesn't look at me quite so accusingly.
 
I find it kind of annoying that 80% of the time the AI in arcade is wearing a bikini, only so much you can put up with before it feels cheap and silly.

I searched the thread and from what I gathered 360>X1 DLCs transfer isn't working right now, correct? Because every costume set I searched for isn't listed as free for me.

Oh man that Christie Bikini....

I hope they release the preorder DLC sooner rather than later this time. That pack seems great. I like the Encore Showstoppers pack that I got with digital but the other packs seem so much cooler. :(
 
Is there anything anywhere (blog/twitter) that is updating the situation with the DLC & Multiplayer issues?

http://teamninja-studio.com/doa5/lastround/us/info_faq.html

Only this afaik, they're only acknowledging issues at the moment, I'm guessing they're not goin to make a patch date announcement until they've got something ready.

Edit: I read something that implies buying paradise movies for some characters unlocks exclusive costumes to those movies, can anyone confirm that they can also be used in the actual game?

Premier Sexy Costume

These four costumes are included with first-print copies of the game in Japan, along with Private Paradise scenes for these characters.

They've focused on boob physics alot but at least they haven't taken their attention away from the actual gameplay aspects. Personally I think DoA5 plays better than all previous iterations. Considering that, does it even matter that they focus on sexualizing the characters based on fan demand? I say let them do what they want so long as they don't divert their attention away from the gamelpay mechanics.
 
Team Ninja warning for all DOA5LR players:

DOA5 Last Round players (All platforms). Please DO NOT play Tutorial Mode Lesson 40.8 and 40.9 with German, Spanish, French, Italian. We confirmed that the game freezes and make your save data corrupted. We can't apologize enough for this and try to fix it ASAP.

I guess this goes out more to the EU players, based on the languages they mentioned.

So I was looking up the costumes on the DoA wiki to figure out which characters I was going to plow through Tag Arcade mode with...and apparently a lot of the costumes you are supposed to unlock (Bikinis, Christmas outfits) were already unlocked from the beginning for me.

Did I just get mad lucky or the Wiki's wrong haha?

Unless the wiki hasn't updated and is referring to 5U and not LR.

I've never figured out how to change hair styles on characters

PS3 version? Hold L1 or R1 when choosing costume. L2/R2 works for some like Kasumi (changes ribbon colour).

Hold d-pad left/right for glasses.

PS4 version? Hairstyle option comes up when you select character/costume.
