You're right- and I already said it isn't in the same league as TTT2/SCV/VF5FS. But it's definitely better than the previous DOA games and Tekken 6 were. It seems that on your connection this is not the case. I played a friend who lives in the same city...his connection was so was bad that matches felt like they were underwater. That was the worst DOA experience I've had, but it turns out that his shitty connection was over a wireless router with shitty Comcast. He says he's wired up everything and it should be better now.
It's not even that matches slow down. When the lag is bad there's a constant hitch in battles that's more annoying than any lag input I've ever seen. I haven't seen this in a fighter ever.

I just disagree that it's better than previous DoAs. It's by far worse. I never had problems with DoA2U or DoA4. But there's always the possibility that my expectations have changed in the past 7 years and if I went back to DoA4 I'd think it horrible.
The video you posted is exactly what it was like when I played my friend last week. That's one of the worst types of matches that can happen, but matches that have played that badly online have been rare in the time I have spent playing the game online on both platforms.
Same case here not a lot of trouble but when the game decides to go to shit it does go to shit. Still the input lag its bothersome for counters.

I played DoA4 a few weeks before the release of DoA5 and still find it pretty odd people like to say TT2/VF are mile better than it. In small lobbies it's close to being on par with those games and I swear the input lag isn't anywhere as noticeable as it is in DoA5.
Because it's still really hard to punish or counter properly with a narrow window. Certain lows are safe online just because it's online. DoA4 is on the fringe of acceptable netcode for me. It is the bare mininum that I would accept. That netcode in SC or TTT's environment and gameplay wouldn't be very good.

This. So much this.
And I miss Ein. Spent years learning JUST that character and he was my main and all that time out the window w/o him in.

Lately I've come into this thread to say a thing and stopped when I noticed Skilletor's already said, almost word for word, what I was thinking. This is another example. The way DOA5 handles lag is much worse than previous games, and I'm envious of anyone who's experience with the netcode allows them to suggest otherwise. I spent a month on 4 before the sequel came out and in general I had no problem finding lagfree lobbies/matches (a 7 year old game?). Now, on 5, even in matches that initially appear to be lagfree I'm confronted with this hiccuping that's both unpredictable and frustrating.
19k matches in DOA4, likely half that in DOAU. I've hit 500 in 5 and I'm not sure I can put up with the online mode any more. The input lag, the difficulty finding matches, and the glitches and game freezes have left me bummed out. I'm really hoping the upcoming online patch Team Ninja has hinted at will bring the game up to at least 4's level, never mind mind the current crop of fighting games.

yes, i've had him say that on perfect wins, aka greats.
Had some matches with Maitre_Sega(or was it Sega_Maitre). Ranked 16 in the world. I was able to beat him a couple of times.
I'm sure you're pleased with your performance, and I really don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but I must state the following...
1. Online wins do not matter... at all... for anything... period.
2. Just because he's #16 does not mean he's good. At least compared to players who are actually top tournament competitors.
If there's a way, I didn't find it either.
I'm gonna be playing the game in a bit. Someone set up a Gaf room
Needs to be patched asap. The pictures should be saved to XMB or at least the ability to download to it.

Ive only taken 1 photo so far. Tina riding Lisa like a motorcycle.

I know, but I'm proud of myself for beating such a high ranked fighter nonetheless.
Must you? Really? Because it sounds like you're just being mean, and what you just said is pretty much the definition of raining on someone's parade.
Going for the time attack costume. Got to stage 6 on master....died. Started again, got to stage 6.....died. Realized that its legend that counts and not master -_- so i thought id take it easy.....did master without dying this time. Sod's law. Hopefully I can repeat that on my legend run.
update: did it first time. Spamned ryus teleport kick over and over......but I feel no shame

That type of post really bugs me... I agree with you.

Did someone say photomode? I've been playing around with it a bit. It's not quite as good as the one in DOA4 due to the lack of motion blur, but taking full screen shots and the ability to pause the scene makes up for it.

So they're simply direct feed shots? For shame Team Ninja...

You can quote them you know? XD
I want to post some of mine but realized I couldn't export the pics into xmb like say MGS4 or GT5. What the hell Team Ninja

Is it possible to transfer them from the PS3? I've been wondering too- it could be really neat to post them here!

Are you playing on xbox or ps3?

I'm on the xbox.
It's actually pretty cool they're direct-feed, and shows off how good the game can look (minus the jaggies of course).
The character models, lighting, and wet shading, soo good.
I agree. DOA just isn't as shiny and new as it was when I first got 4 and my 360. I still prefer the old look to the new. I can't stand jaggies.

Even though I dont use her, i think helena has the best face in the game.

If there's one single graphical complaint I have to narrow DoA5 down to it's the varied texture on the actual fucking ground. On some levels they look like PS2 textures and begs me to ask: why use a so bad texture on something so obvious and centered on the screen.

You can still see all that with increased resolution + AA as any photomode should be like -.-
You should be able to take shots like this:

Last I checked I had about 600 matches with a 73% win rate. Still looking for good people to play with.
Yesterday I started joining random games, picked Hayate and then just kept repeatedly doing his sidestep move(2 or 8p+k) which you can hit P after to do a stun punch but I was just doing the sidestep part. I was dodging 90% of their attacks, full strings in some cases. I thought it was hilarious. You can't do it against Lisa and Ayane though since all of their moves have insane tracking.

Yeah, I don't think I'll go for it. Not only may I lack the patience, but if I ever unlock that swimsuit, I'll never be able to use it without being ashame of myself.

Oh shit I was just on a winning streak of 6, almost breaking my own record... then 7th fight is a damn A+ rank and lost!

Just in here to state that I really like DoA5 and I'm glad to see a mostly serious discussion about the game here. Also, I haven't even tried to get Lisa's suit yet for I have too much pressure in life as is right now so I don't want to frustrate myself at this moment (did get Tina and Christie, though, but I don't think this is any special).
Until now, I only played somewhere around 20 games online, luckily the majority of them worked well in regard to connection (the instants where it didn't work were horrible experiences though). Mostly been hanging out in story mode and single player, unlocking things and playing around with different characters. Hopefully, when I decide that it's time to play online more a patch will have taken care of the issues that plague it according to reports in this thread.
As for the earlier discussion/hopes of Momiji or Rachel being in the game... I actually would prefer Muramasa here:
While mostly a cameo side character in DoA and Ninja Gaiden
he had his badass moments in the past
. I think he would prove to be quite a unique addition to the game or at least amusing fanservice instead of sexy fanservice for once.
Well,I hope I find the time to play this game some more soon...

(though he appeared in one of the cutscenes in DoA5, which made me happy )
)Ninja Gaiden 2 Muramasa >>>> all the Ninjas!
Since he is slow when fighting because of his age, but uses very fast and well-aimed strong attacks with a certain rhythm... We already have some slower characters with either more powers or good juggling opportunities, I think Muramasa could be a character very dependent on aimed strikes and exact conters. Maybe I'm totally wrong though and I realise he is mostly a swordmaster...
Well,I hope I find the time to play this game some more soon...
Wolfkrone was an online player first before he started going to tourney's. In fact there's a couple of people who started online during 09 and go to tourney's now so online does help, just not doa5 online.
He said online not the new look of the game, the majority of DOA fans actually prefer the new look to the old. I'd take jaggies over the old doll look it was time for a change. DOA4 is still by far a terrible game and still to me the worst DOA.
Misplaced modifier. This game isn't as good online as DoA2U or 4.
It is, imo, the best DoA yet. Graphically I'd only put SC5 above it this gen, and even then I'd have to start tallying certain areas.
PC Port plz.

Stages were good and wasn't DOA4 problem.
