Ninja Gaiden were the first videogames to have cutscenes.
Talking about the 3D ones not the 2D ones. (Should have made that clear earlier)

Thanks, Skilletor, you just reminded me how much I miss the CG cutscenes. Uuugn, that was one of my favorites.
I don't miss CG cutscenes, but some character development would be nice. Not just, "I see this person, this is the reason to fight, now we fight," cutscenes.

All costumes for the 2nd pack from FSD, nothing for Ayane T_T
These all look amazing. Couldnt have hoped for better outfits really. Cant wait to see them from the back
Even Helena, who usually dresses pretty conservatively, has a sexy outfit to complement her beautiful face. Her fighting style still looks pretty boring but I'll be tempted to use her, at least a little bit, with her looking that good.
I always loved that black Lei Fang dress but not the look of Lei Fang. Now I get the best of both worlds with Lisa wearing it.
Looking forward to that patch, not that many Aussies are playing DoA5 but Im hoping it will make international connections noticeably better too.

That's paid dlc for the costumes, correct?
Assume that it is, based on the fact that when the last pack was free, they said so beforehand. They've said nothing about this one.

It would be nice if they went the dimensions route and everything was free
It would, yeah. They seem to be going the monetization route where the game makes money, they can make another, and don't have to cut the team. I'll settle.
DOA5 is Team DOA, not Team Ninja Dog. Hayashit has nothing to do with DOA5. Please don't insult the DOA5 team like that.
Also what the hell is going on in this thre--*sees bitchiness and shitting on Hayate*--Oh, you gurls. So easy to manipulate but I love it. <3
Skill said:
Kinda, yes. The divide came after Ayane learned about her birth and being linked to Hayate/Kasumi. But because she wasn't from the same father as Kasumi/Hayate the village basically gave her to the Hajin Mon sect.
That rift is mostly the village (and well, DOATEC's obviously) fault.

I made a Mila combo earlier today that only works on Heavyweights (Bass, Bayman).
I made a little clip of it if you guys are interested.

Could be. I won't be surprised. My mind is still reeling that they implemented 4 different sets of underwear for many characters. Only Team Ninja...

Say, in an effort to more fully understand DOA's system evolution I'm wondering:
What are some of the fundamental changes between DoA 4, DoA Dimensions, and DoA 5? I've been poking around but can't find a lot of hard info on DoA Dimensions (heh) especially.

Pretty much all the ones I liked. Especially the lisa with leifang dress and tina cat costume.

I never played DoA
But in DoA4 there was no sidestep system like the ones we have now. There was no critical burst and no uncounterable stuns.Strings also tended to be alot more unsafe then they are now so you could easily throw punish most of them, Most characters tend to now have a safe string ender.
DoA4 and Dimensions are basically DoA4.1 (X-box patch)->4.2
DoA5 removes the guessing game that DoA4 had for instance in a major change.

I do have the DoA5 guide (*waves to the Dogg*), but if I might ask, what exactly interrupts the DoA4 guessing game? The existence of safe string enders as said above?

I microwave steaks.
well now, uh, Team Ninja has quite the dedication.
There are less things that stun you, which eliminates the need to counter so much. Counters in general are nerfed so much that it actually becomes more dangerous to do them, especially vs. certain characters like Tina.
DoA4 introduced the stun threshold. For the attacker, the only way to get real damage was to get to the end of the stun threshold and launch for a juggle. Unfortunately for the attacker, the opponent could guess right and do tons of damage to you before the attacker could do any real damage.
DoA5 introduced more unholdable situations overall, more guaranteed damage for the attacker from normal hit launchers and walls. Just in general rewarding the attacker while eliminating some of the guessing game.
It's still extremely prevalent, but nowhere near as bad as it was in DoA4.
Edit: Omg, this patch is great. 4 bars was really good. 3 bars was muuuuuuuuuuuuch better than 3 bars before.
DOA4 its pretty much the Hold and Stun game. Guessing Holds rewards people to easily in DOA4 and that easily looks bad in term of a competitive game. ALso the game relied heavily on stuns which made most of the matches a bore to watch.
DOA Dimensions its DOA 4.2 but the counter system its more simplified than 4 IIRC making it even more rewarding torwards random guessing.
So it might be 8-10 bucks in US...

You can cancel string and then throw a fast move in hope that your opponent has reacted slowly.
You can purposely bait counters and throw them for massive damage. Or you can simply outguess them and do a move that is not the the counter option that they guessed.
The problem most players had with DoA4 at the top level of play if the fact the counters recovered so quickly, be done out of a stun, and did alot of damage made it feel like sometimes even getting a stun was worthless in the first place. (Especially low counters which duck under highs and counter lows, making it an extremely strong defensive option.)
DoA5 rectify's some of those issues with uncounterable stuns, smaller counter windows, and less counter damage.

Now that's dedication.
the shot I just took in JP store.
1st pack is cat costumes for helena, christie, tina, lisa
2nd pack is hitomi, mila, rig, lisa
3rd pack is kasumi, leifang, hayabusa, lisa
the 4th pack is 1-3 combined
Oh, wow. It's definitely going to be interesting to see how many more of these packs they release and how often. To be only two weeks past launch, there's a LOT of DLC out there added all together.
I think their plan is DLC per 2 weeks. So next DLC will be October 30th
I assume $5 per pack, $13 for all 3 packs?

Unholdable stuns, frame advanatge, guaranteed options after parries/sabakis, bt throws allow for guaranteed options, etc. . . Being able to hold out of any situation isn't possible anymore.
My guess is $3.99 per pack, $9.99 for full set.
Damn I was hoping for more free DLC, especially since these costumes are not exactly new. Well I'll bite, I really like the game so I may get one of of the oostume packs. Wish Lisa and her 4 costumes were just one pack though.
I... I can't actually tell the front side from the back.

I'll definitely buy the catsuit pack.
The other two suits I want are both in separate packs so Ill see how much TN are charging.

we have seen all of them. there are 12 total for this week.
I'm not going to change my avatar back, but the online is much improved.
It still feels off. Still difficult to block and punish, but I'd say this is at least on par with DoA4. It could be better, but I've only played about 20 matches, so I won't say yay or nay for sure.
But it's playable and fun, and that's good enough for me.

Why are Lisa and Mila wearing Lei Fang and Hitomi's outfits? That's so lazy.
Everything else looks pretty good, though I'm surprised that some people are already getting a second and third DLC outfit while some characters haven't gotten any yet. And they are charging for these one before everyone gets a free outfit? :/

You gotta be kidding me. She's all over the damn place with her stance and spinning hands.

I could of sworn I saw Hayashi's name at the end of DOA5's credits as the producer or director or something.

Yeah, its a nice way to learn the moves, they should have a preview of the moves like in practice mode though. I took out the ethernet cable out so haven't been able to download the patch yet.
Haha me too!
I skipped some though, moves just didn't work.Everyone isn't getting a free outfit, I'm pretty sure. They seem to be in money-making mode now. If we were getting free costumes for the rest of the cast, this week would've been it.
