I know what SMAA is, but you're linking to an executable with no warning that you're doing so and what it is. Not everyone likes to runs executables blindly.
I've been playing ranked, but the inability to decline matches no matter the connection is inexcusable. I should be able to see my opponent's connection and DC ratio before accepting any match.
I agree, it's maddening. Even with the improved netcode, it's impossible to counter on 1-bar. And considering how little health and power Kasumi has, I have to just play hit and run tactics.

Everyone has the same amount of health. Kasumi has little nothing.

Some character are lighter weight and can be hit a few extra times. Kasumi is a lightweight character. Bass would be a heavyweight, and the opposite holds true for launching him. Damage points wise they're the exact same.
She's not lacking in damage. Compare her to low damage output characters like Christie or Helena.
official mouse pads for DOA5 releasing in Japan.
I would buy these. I don't even own a mouse anymore (I use the touchpad on my laptop) but I would buy one just for an excuse to use these.
Now the biggest question. Which one will you get?
Waiting it out for Tina.
Well, preferably all three but I see where you going with this question, lol.
You'd probably think I would pick Ayane but I would choose Hitomi. Dunno why, but her busoms looks considerably bigger than the others in that pose.

Actually, post patch, I've been having almost flawless matches on the 360. None of the hiccuping from before. It's a huge relief. There are still some issues for me, such as the game telling me I'm "not connected to a network" (whatever the hell that means) and disconnecting me from lobbies. I still occasionally have to go to the dashboard after a lockup, too. I can deal with those sort of issues, though, as long as my fights aren't lagging over the place.
The netcode is good, but if you're trying to dig deeper into the combat, it's becomes more difficult to play seriously.
Punishment is really hard online, even with a good connection. Countering, too. I have difficulty blocking strings that I know have a low hit, or even reacting to lows online.
It's good, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than it was before, but I still have issues with it. For me, I'd say it depends on how you look at online. I'm a very competitive player, but I'm not playing DoA to be competitive. I love the series, think it's a lot of fun. So that's how I play online, acknowledging that it isn't the same offline. I don't look at other games this way.
I would put it a notch below VF5's netcode, which is good. I've got 100 matches online now and I'd say post-patch, they've been pretty good. Only a few I'd consider unplayable, and those at 1 bar.
FUCK fighting Kasumi with Tina at 1 bar. Can't do shit.

Ditto.
Trying to do survival with the cheap Leifang method but for some reason I keep screwing up her attack. I can pull it off no probs in a normal match but when the pressures on I hit left instead of down/left and she just waves her arms around like a tard. Curse this ps3 faux-dpad.
Whats a good and reasonably priced arcade stick for PS3? Doa5 one is too much. Theres a tekken one with a similar layout for £50, is it any good?

Need more info than that. Is it the Tekken TE?
Last time I tried playing ranked after the update, the game crashed on the first two attempts, connected to a match between two other players on the second attempt (so I spectated a ranked match...WTF, LOL) then crashed when it finished, and finally started working again on the fourth attempt.

Its the Tekken 6 arcade stick bundle.
This is the stick
It's not too bad of a stick but the Madcatz SE sticks are a better deal overall if you can find them since you can mod them later with better parts. The Tekken stick is hard wired so it's very difficult to improve upon unless you're handy with a soldering iron and a dremel.
I think it's only common sense for people to use what they're most comfortable with. I hate pads for fighters, period.

The only stick I'm comfortable playing with is my own. Arcade sticks just hurt, maybe if I tilted the stick. . .
Yep, I use a Saturn pad for Saturn (obviously), Dreamcast, PC, and PS3 fighting games. If I could get Saturn pads to work on more systems I would use them there as well.

I haven't really played much since launch, and the online was so bad then that I thought I'd never play much again.
Randomly decided to hop back on today, downloaded the 1.02 update, and am blown away by how much better the netcode seems to have gotten.
A totally different story, online-wise. If you were turned off before, jump back in.
(Now my biggest complaint is having to restart the whole game when THAT GUY hangs at the stage select menu...)

Ayane's ending in DOA4 was awesome. Anyone know what song is played?
I'm not sure of the song but this exact scene is in Dimensions...as not an ending, but like the later part of story mode.
Wow, that sucks as an ending.
LOL
Good one. Should be your new title, lol.
I don't care for arcade sticks either.
Man I haven't even touched the ranked matches yet. I think I'll remain simple and be best of the F's XD At least until another online fix is released.
BTW does anyone have the same problem? When I accept throwdowns I could never join matches whether throwdown or simple, was fine before the patch.

@Esura: I found it:Unbroken Chains. Very beautiful.

lol, I got so used to the new faces in DOA5. She looks like a 12 year old kid with some left over baby fat in this video.
I really can 't go back to the original look of the characters, they honestly suck in comparison.
I finished the Story Mode last night and I can honestly say that it was a fun ride. Lots of laughs and campy action galore. I still don't know who I favor the most although I do have it narrowed down somewhat.
Now I'm going to start clearing Arcade mode and unlocking more costumes!

Yeah she looks a lot like the Ayane from DOAU opening. I don't dislike neither btw.
@matmanx1: story was cool indeed. I wish it was more serious and longer, lots of potential here.
I wish they would of actually threw more hints at Rig besides his scenes with Christie and the ending though.

Downloded from PSN. Spent a little time in practice and noticed some freeze during fight, like it's loading something. Is it normal?

Sorry but how to do that?
When you select your offline mode, you'll notice a 'Throwdown notifications: enabled' message on screen: press square or triangle (sorry, can't remember now) to turn it off.
I wouldn't have the first clue about modding it. I can possibly get it cheaper on ebay so I'll give it a try. Looks the best one available within that price range.

I hope this means DOA6 will come sooner than we anticipate.

for anyone else wondering abut this one, you just need to hit his 4F+K when your opponent is stunned and you're both in the same stance, then continue on with a combo to make sure you get 8 hits.
