I'm digging this game. It's fun, looks awesome and is something fresh to learn since I never took DOA seriously before.

If I'm not mistaken, you can get the guide for free if you walk in and buy the game at a Best Buy, at least for this week.

Very good guide. Comprehensive frame data, color codes safety of attacks, good general strats, with detailed move properties(like sitdown stuns).
I flipped through the guide while getting the game and saw a lot of tables and frame data so if you're into that I imagine it's worth it.
So the story mode tutorial thing tells me to do high strikes I need to mash P and K; is that really the only way? Seems kind of...weird for a category moves to just be mashing.
I got it but it was free. I wouldn't pay for it though.
Alright. I'll see you later tonight for some games.
GentlemanThief discovered that the VF characters have some sort of super backdash.

Sounds pretty sick.

Oh man, online is awesome. I've been doing nothing but Ranked and local versus. I'm an E rank now, and matches are stopping. I'm sure there'll be more players later, right?
Lag is standard fare. I've had matches where it feels like I'm playing in jello and none of my inputs are going through, but the other player is fine. This last match I quit though, it lagged for both sides and it was terribly jumpy, I was destroyed without even a chance.
I love Tina. The cast is pretty solid. I hate Jann Lee players. I smashed one soundly with Kokoro today though, that was so joyous.

That's actually just the normal backdash cancel in DoA. It looks weird with VF characters because they have a different backdash animation. lol
Hitomi
10 hit combo will probably work it out once I learn properly her Critical burst
Jann Lee
8 hit combo while opponent is giving his back (training mode will probably help but no clue or near of doing it)
Hayabusa
Izuna Drop (This will be terrible for me but training)
Senko Izuna (same as above)
Helena
Evade OH and grapple (ehhh no idea)
Hayate
2 Hi Counter Hold (Did 1 but the second doesnt want to happen)
kasumi
Power Blow after Critical burst (its easy but I need to practice more the moves)
These are the missing missions I'm working on but now on thecommand training I can't get one of brad. Ren Jikusenho. If anyone got tips bring em.

He said it's way, way better with the VF characters though, because they can avoid a ton of things the others can't.
I don't see why it would be any different. I can see it being better with Akira because of palm, but it's performed the same and usually covers the same amount of distance.

Man, I am never going to unlock the Legend course. The AI on whatever the hardest pre-unlock difficulty is just tears me apart. I may as well not be holding the controller when I try to fight CPU Ayane.

it could be different just because of the way they chose to program those characters...
Have you tried online yet Pupi?
*shrug* All I know is that he said it's "useless" with DOA characters, and that Sarah's is the most effective. It definitely warrants further testing, but if what he's saying is true it seems pretty beastly at face value.

This is the second game I've bought in three weeks that's had an online pass that I didn't realize had one until after I bought it.
I think I saw someone mention it in here yesterday, but that doesn't count as before the game came out.
Was this known a week or two ago?

In a word, yes.
I guess, but from playing, I don't see what they're avoiding that others don't.
Definitely not useless. It's great for spacing and punishing. It could be better with VF characters just because they're better characters, though. I could totally see that (and I think the VF characters will be in a tier all their own).
First match was Laggy as hell but it was my fault I forgot I was downloading the new antivirus and other tools for the PC.
After finishing or cancelling some of the things the online went super smooth. I'm from Puerto Rico and my friend is from NY so there is a distance and it was good. I played non ranked matched and it was smooth. There were minor signs of lag here and there but for my 15 maches things were mostly smooth.
I did played 3 unranked matches and it was smooth too btw.
EDIT: Did Brad Wong (Didnt focused my eye on the left side that was showing me the timing on the demo SMH)
Damn this is going to be a hard decision tonight when I go to the store to purchase. I'm either doing this or Borderlands 2.
Decisions,decisions.

I didn't know a week ago personally although I found out about them like a day or so before release. Online passes for both this and TTT2 kind of shocked me.

you get 2 days without it.
So I got my old Hori RAP EX stick out for this. The buttons are in different spots compared to the TE sticks. It looks like this
[ B ] [ X ] [ Y ] [ LB ]
[ A ] [ LT ] [ RT ] [ RB ]
Can someone show me the preferred buttons layout for DOA5?
Are people using 3 buttons only or adding in the H ?
Thanks

Why would they get rid of CG endings? Those were always so godlike.
Story modes where you have to go through playing as random people are so annoying.

Dat credits song! It wouldve been better without the rap but its still a good song. Who ever is singing it has a distinctive voice.
