They really should fix this problem with patch soon.Time to pay it forward: turn off Throwdowns. The next time someone brings this up, it will be your responsibility to inform them.

After a crippling losing streak last night, I went into training mode today and had some practice in Simple Match. I have a new main now, Ayane. Spinning towards freedom! (I almost forgot, dat hat! For the love of God man, everyone wear hats on your characters.)

Same thing happens with UMVC3 when you turn on the online challange in arcade mode.
I heard you have to turn off the throwdown system while playing offline
Editt: beaten
I was playing online when it happened for me. Thanks for the tips though, I'll give er a try.
I'm not afraid to amend an opinion. Yesterday was horrible, today was good. This is my favorite series; nobody was more upset than me for the negative experience.
Can't right now, maybe this weekend. Or we could try DoA.
Who are you using? It really just sounds like you need experience. Lucky guessing is going to get you high counter thrown. Although doa doesnt have the technical requrirements of other fighters, you do need to be familiar with everbodys movelists. I recommend doing command training with characters giving you problems.

Doesn't matter which difficulty as long as it's different.
You can also unlock costumes in any other mode. Survival, time attack, single, or tag(only first chaarcter gets costume).
So I upload my save file to the cloud, go over to his place where we play a bit of the story mode. I then re-upload my save so I can download it when I get home. Now at home the game shows that I've unlocked Akira and Sarah, but the trophy remains unlocked. The trophy unlock message popped up when I was at my buddies though, so this is weird. How do I get those trophies to unlock?
Delete your save and do the story mode quickly ignoring the missions. So long as you turn off "save back-up of your save" your save in the cloud won't be updated. It'll be like 1-2 hours story work unless you skip the cut scenes to get those again.
Then delete that save, restore your save from the cloud and make sure you sync trophies next time.

Sounds good.
My main is Christie, you're still using Tina right?

Tina all day. Going to start Rig training soon. She's just too fun, though. Dont want to use anybody else right now.

Man, I'm feeling really deflated. Second day of DOA5 and I can count with two fingers the number of perfectly lag free matches I've had. There was an undeniably huge jump in art direction from 4 to 5 but overall the sequel is starting to feel much less... polished? Certainly doesn't help that I jumped from P4A to this. Talk about stark contrasts...
I think I'm going to give it a break for a day and sulk.

For me I think it's the opposite.
I actually have a positive win loss ratio with a couple of characters in P4a. This game? I think I'm 2-16.
I think you really had to have played DOA4 to get used to this game. A ton of the moves are easily recognizable from the last game so I've had a great time countering nearly everything. Running into the Virtua Fighter characters wasn't too bad. I have difficulty with people that I suspect were above B rank in DOA4 because of the way they pause their movements.
In spectator and the lobby, yeah. I'm pretty excited that DOA5 is doing it.
Done
Cool!
ha, not a clue. However, from the brief time that I've spent with Story mode, both Mila and Rig seem like characters that one could become proficient with fairly quickly. That might just be because I dig their style, though.
Any character that isn't Ryu is pretty good to start with. I'd probably avoid Bass and Tina (okay maybe only Bass) due to their holds, but any of the characters is a good place to start since you're going to be learning P/K's before doing Holds and Free/Throws.

Only a masochist would start with Bass. :/
I see you, stirring shit.gif
Ryu requires too many holds and throw commands for newbies to start off with.
Has this happened to anyone, and is there a fix: my movelist when using Leifang is locked to neutral punches.
Scratch that, every character only has neutral punches appearing in the on screen movelist. And whatever setting governs this sticks through a restart. Back to mashing I guess.

You don't need Ryu's advanced holds to win, and the Izuna Drop can be done by mashing 360 and pressing h+p when combo throw comes up.
Hayabusa is fast, safe, has excellent combo and striking capability that are not difficult to learn. It's hilarious that they qualify him as a grappler. He's the poster boy of the series. They're usually not too difficult to learn.

Any word yet on which version is better?
I think I found what is one of the most annoying players online.
Pai Chan and Jann Lee users.
Pai users spamming a freaking long juggle and Jann Lee Dragon Gunners like crazy. I managed to win some but Jesus they are annoying most of the ones I played.
I found 1 Mila user annoying but I havent really encountered more annoying Mila players.
Any characters you seem to be having problems with?

So I port forwarded my ports, used this guide:http://portforward.com/networking/staticip-ps3-playstation-3.htm and now the lag has reduced considerably. There is still some lag but not as bad as before. Played the same friend from yesterday and he noticed it got better. Played people with 3 bar matches on lobby and it was decent-good. Not perfect, but good.

So what's the consensus on the easiest/fastest way to unlock costumes? Also how many do each of the characters generally have? 4?
If you're wanting outfits you have to beat arcade mode ONCE EACH CHARACTER PER DIFFICULTY.
4-7, more on the girls obviously.
Play arcade or time attack with tag, the first character gets the costume, but you can play the same difficulty once for time attack and arcade.
Number of costumes :
Kasumi 6
Ayane 6
Helena 5
Hitomi 6
Mila 6
Rig 4
LeiFang 8
Jann Lee 5
Alpha
Sarah 2
Pai 2
Hayabusa 4
Hayate 4
Bayman 5
Eliot 5
Brad 5
Akira 2
Gen Fu 2
Zack 4
Bass 4
Tina 7
Christie 6
Kokoro 6
Lisa 7

Living in Sydney, this was my plan too... until i heard about the netcode.
Does the DLC give you swimsuits for ALL the girls? (Tina and Lisa being my priority).
That doesn't unlock the skimpy bikini's on the girls, though, does it?
Nope
Maybe I'm going crazy, but I spent several hours playing the 360 version today, then popped the PS3 version in and thought that it looked sharper and had a noticeably better picture. Seemed a bit more colorful.

It varies as it really depends on your connection. For me, 3 bars is good. Lower than that, it will lag but it's playable. From my experience, I had a few lag free matches today. Most of them did lag a bit.
Looks like a new patch is needed:

Well , I'm taking my time with this game and just playing story mode an hour a night combined with some random other playing.
I think I've spent enough time now to give at least an overall thought -
It's good but something feels off. I'm not 100% sure what exactly, possibly it's that it feels like this game is a bit rushed. I'm all for making ps3 the lead platform since it tends to be beneficial for both consoles but I can't help but feel that the graphics would be better if they'd made this xbox exclusive like 4 was. I had the option of buying it on either console but I've invested in an arcade stick only on xbox and even though it's hardly necessary for this game I figured, whatever I'll buy it on 360 in case I feel like using the stick.
Earlier in this thread someone mentioned how they found doa4 looked better in a few ways and the more I play this the more I'm finding I agree with that assessment. There's certainly MUCH better character models in doa5, no contest and of course the shadowing is better but man the textures really do look bad in many places - just compare the streets level in doa4 to the new york stage in doa5 , or the monkey mountain stage to the chinese hamlet level in 5. The good looking stages in doa4 just flat out look much more polished even with pre-baked lighting. I'm not 100% sure what's to blame here- the obviously low budget 5 must have had or having to design it first for ps3. Also something to be said about 5 hiding the stage design behind flashiness. You can still fall off ledges or crash through ceilings/walls /etc and it looks really flashy when it happens but it doesn't feel otherwordly like it did in the past.
It's like... I'm not sure but .. it's almost like DOA5 feels like a prototype / reboot but it also has to attempt to be similar to the old games. It's certainly still fun to play especially now that I've seen some of the newer moves and tried them out for myself but I just can't shake that feeling that it's missing something or it feels off.
Also my budget complaints , I'm basing that almost entirely off the hilariously awful story mode, no CG whatsoever , everything is in game and instead of using some consistent stages like MK did last year they have levels all over the place so they constantly have to subtitled " a few days later in XXXX" to cover up the 3000 mile distance difference. When I say awful I mean that in an entertaining way , like it's so bad it's funny but still.
Either way I'm glad I bought it because it's still fun but it's not doing it for me like I thought it would , I kind of hope this team gets a chance to make either a deluxe version of this game or a port to next gen systems where I think they'll be able to fully pull off stages as large as doa2/3/4 with the added flashiness of 5 AND have high quality textures everywhere while keeping the better character models.
I'd still say it's worth grabbing for DOA fans if for nothing else then to see someone elses take on the franchise and that IS what's going on here on some level , it's noticeable, like when twisted metal 3 and 4 were made by 989 instead of singletrac but not nearly that disastrous.

Bought this baby today, lovin' it so far! It is my first DOA.
Sticking with Mila, she seems like a great starter character. Plus boobs and dat wink.
Going online and selecting opponents nearby. Out of the 6 matches I played, I'd say 2 of them were too laggy, with my first one barely having any (noticeable from me anyways).
So far my favorite boobs are Kasumi, Tina, Mila, and Lei Fang. I think Tina's will win out in the end though. Advanced American weaponry! I don't think I've played as a male character yet lol

Gameplay wise the game is way better than DOA4 maybe on tie with U2 or may I even dare say 3.(not 3.1) The complaining seems to be around the visuals which when you are fighting you probably won't be focusing so much on that. Overall better direction art direction and the game feels as good as usual.

This is messed up. I cannot do Senko Izuna at all, not in training not during Ryu's fight where it's the bonus mission. I know I'm doing the command right and I have no issues doing the regular Izuna nor do I have problems in the previous games completing it. I can never do the final part to it and it's driving me insane.
