Interesting, you got combos for all the characters 3-hit CB's?

Not at the minute sorry. Although they are pretty easy to come up with, so I could whip a few examples later.

The downside is that these set-ups are move specific, as in you will reach CB faster using certain moves - for instance, in the Eliot example I posted last page:

If the opponent blocks Eliot's fully charged 4H+K, he then gets a free 3k. To CB from here he could do 7p, and then CB with 1P+K

The 3k is what causes it to reach CB so early. But it's not even really a downside either, as the 3k is guaranteed in this situation.

When I beat Survival mode, I used to exploit Lisas body splash (7k, p) against the AI.
When the AI blocks the splash, the follow up was guaranteed (6p, k, qcfk/Critical Burst).
Very useful for beating Survival Mode IMO.
 
Okay Team Ninja.

You gave me back my life preserver for Bayman, but now you must do that which I have wanted since DoA2!

Bayman is an homage to the ultimate bad ass of cinematic history -- Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it's only fitting you give him his ultimate bad ass DLC costume!

I havent seen this movie since the early 90's but I remember a hot stone in someone's hand, followed by a punch in the face.
I was a little suprized Baymans future-soldier look didnt return, though it did look a little goofy. Needs some guns or pouches or something.

It'd be cool if TN gave Bayman a 'Ghost' outfit (from MW2). So awesome!

Proudly debt free. If you need a couple bucks, just ask.
In other news I bought DOAX2 and holy crap at the load times.

Gain about a million and play Christie's slot machine. Very huge risk in losing all your money, but also big rewards.
 
Fuck I tried this and wasn't really paying attention and I lost all my money.

I just want the skimpy suits blarghhh.

Without the patch, the casino is the be and end. You'll just have to learn to get it right. Just learn the sounds of the Roulette Game and you'll have more cash than you need ever.

After the patch depends on if you have a partner. Volleyball with one and the Marine Race without one.

Never.
However, Christie's Slot Machine is the only one you'll need to play just to earn the Secret Ticket for the Pole Dance. Hitomi + Skimpy Swimsuits + Virtual Pictorial = PURE BLISS!!!

Amazing bullshots as always (pretty sure a few of them were even used for the PS360 version, back in the days): really curious to see how the game will really look on the Vita.

Wait so do you need to buy the DLC costumes to use them offline, or did this new patch allow you to unlock the DLC costumes for offline use?

The changes to costume unlocks in the patch refer to costumes already on the disc, not DLC. I still don't know what the hell they mean though.

Tecmo themselves said that they're not from the actual Vita version:

Tecmo said:
The screenshots we have in the DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS album are from the console version. We will be releasing more screens soon!

The album in question. Same shots as posted above. At least they admitted it. Hah.

When I was browsing this thread two days ago it sounded like they were releasing a patch that would allow you to unlock the DLC costumes for offline use only.
Not the DLC costumes, only in-game costumes (most of them).
We're working on the "surprise" update for next week already! #DOA5
From twitter, What could it be ?

Happened to me a few times, but you can make all the money back so fast it's not that big a deal. What's worse is that the game doesn't have a transferable save file and when I switched to a bigger harddrive I lost everything.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!

Nice to know I'm not alone in terrible purchases. Bought it two years ago and I have only played it for about 10 minutes.
 
I'm expecting the "surprise" to be something stupid like a Facebook tourney. Not expecting word on that new "patch" or whatever until next year.

Play story mode and do all the missions or whatever they're called during each fight to learn all the game mechanics. Hit up the internet when you can't do something or it doesn't make sense. That helped me out.

Any penalities for leaving out some of the bonus missions?

Nah, you can go back and do them whenever you want. I just think they're the only part of the game that tells you all the mechanics of the game.

For character specific moves you can go into practice mode and turn on character training from the pause menu and that'll take you through all of a character's moves.

I think those are the best ways to get a feel for the game.

Also, it's important to know that when you're getting beat up in a string of attacks and you can't block, you can still perform holds (counters) unless you get critical bursted upon. Story mode missions should teach you about all that crap.

Unless you screw up that hold/parry then you eat the full attack. :/

I kind of want this game to do nothing with it but Kasumi v. Ayane and watch the replays. My reasons are right and just.

I was expecting Santa Bass instead of Bayman, seemed like a better fit.

Also, that hold where he holds you by the leg and goes "chug chug chug" would be awesome with a Santa suit and a replacement "hohoho" voice sample.

I think I'd had about 640 matches by the time I stopped playing. I know some people had trouble, but it genuinely wasn't a problem for me.

I don't have problems finding players in rank matches, Xbox version.
899 matches ! so closed to get 1000 matches achievement, even if I get it I will keep playing anyway ...

You know what I just thought? If TN were smart, they'd release thw Christmas DLC for free to try and bring people back in. The costumes will be the same across characters anyway, so it wouldn't take an inordinate amount of effort.

That'd be sweet, but I have this theory:

I think girls in Santa costumes are sexy, I'm not the only one who feels this way (by a long shot) and TN needs $$$.

But it is the season of giving. That counts for something.

I've had trouble finding players since Day 1 (PS3 version).

It doesn't help that "can't join server" is common.

Got my 1000, so the online can die and I'll put some serious online time into DOA5 plus before that one dies as well. :(
