Jacky owns everyone ...again.

I don't know what it is, but I can't deal with Jacky or Helena at all. The way they fight throws me way off, and if they connect they keep you stunned for days. I'm trying to get into the habit of not pressing attack buttons because the counter strike damage is no joke.
Anyone else here use Momiji? I really like how she fights.

BTW, those checkered jumpsuit outfits for Tina and Lisa look awesome.

Quick question that may also be a dumb question. I was dog sitting for a friend the other day (saturday) and was using his wifi for my ps3 and playing DoA5U. I was getting a ton of throwdown invites, within seconds of each other and it was glorious.

I have my ps3 hardwired at my house and even after they patched solo throwdowns I never got many. Sun-today at my house I am back to getting basically 0 throwdowns, and not finding anyone if I got to search for a ranked game. I can still play in lobbies (and that is what I normally do), but I'd love to go back to having those throwdowns.

I understand time of day matters, but I got almost nothing all throughout sunday and nothing at all today. Is there some setting on my router that is causing a problem. I play a bunch of other multiplayer games and don't have problems.

Ok, that wasn't that quick but thank you for reading it/helping.

Yeah this happens to me too. There is moments when you get throwdowns constantly and sometimes none. Not sure why.

Now that I have perfect win streak in ranked, I don't really accept throwdowns invs. Usually I lose throwdown matches for some strange reason. When my win streak stops, back to accepting throwdown invs lol.

From messing around and fighting against Jacky, he had a lot of moves that were special highs in VF5 (where they were high but would CH attacks that go under normal highs) but they're almost all just regular highs now, since DoA doesn't have special high/mid/low moves. So there's a lot of spots where you can 2P him out of his strings safely in DoA5U (whereas trying to do so in VF5 would get you killed).

 

[PotatoCat]

I played DOA 5 U at my friends house for the first time and i really underestimated the simple looking controls. Damn this game is complex and hard, but very enjoyable. I also downloaded the Plus demo on my Vita and i had the same experience.

Thanks, I'll try that. I'm looking for any kind of solution to the Jacky problem, he's a major pain in my ass.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Play the range and poke game on Jacky. Also somebody hella quick.

I was hoping it was something else other than that. Saturday was amazing, I got throwdowns all the time and was playing constantly. This has only happened at my friend's house. I have a great connection at my house and can never get any (or rarely do).

Strange tweets from Team NINJA:

Like I said on Friday the 13th, by the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. ‪#‎DOA5U‬‪#‎fighterstyle

Pillage, plunder, loot and crush all who stand in your way! ‪#‎DOA5U‬ ‪#‎fighterstyle

 

[ShinMaruku]

Mmm new accessories.

 

[Mesharey]

Mmm new accessories.

New stage I think too.
It could be from DOA2:

 

[ShinMaruku]

I'd love that stage. Also some more Ninja Gaiden themed stages.

 

[Mesharey]

Yes, it's really good.

I think they might add it.

I noticed something in your last video, 66KK4 is better than 66KK, try to use 66KK4 more. @@

 

[ShinMaruku]

I find on some people 66KK4 can mess with their timing givinh me a counter blow and possibly a launch.

 

[DR2K]

Uploaded a few matches.

Haven't played any gaf members for 5U yet.

 

[akilshohen]

Looks like Halloween costumes. I don't know about the Kasumi pic, but Bass had that outfit before

 

[ShinMaruku]

Zack must get a pimp outfit. With the cape and everything.

 

[xion4360]

Kasumi's...I guess they are adding some stuff.

 

[Mesharey]

I find on some people 66KK4 can mess with their timing givinh me a counter blow and possibly a launch.

Time it well and you can get HUGE damage. XD

It's one of the best moves she has.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Time it wrong and I can get big damage done to me too. XD

 

[YoshiStrife]

More teasers:

 

[Skilletor]

Ooooh...I loved that Kasumi outfit.

 

[Endo Punk]

DOA6 needs to bring back arcade endings for each character. The DOA5 story mode is mind numbingly stupid and above all, boring. It would be easier to just do CGI endings, those were actually good in DOA, well most anyway. They would even have more times to fix the goddamn jaggies then.

Also I need Brad's disco outfit from DOA4 with his glorious long flowing hair!

 

[Dantis]

Kasumi's halloween outfit is disappointing.

Red Riding Hood is Tina, yes?

 

[Gandara]

Kasumi's halloween outfit is disappointing.

Red Riding Hood is Tina, yes?

I'm thinking it's Hitomi.

 

[mrklaw]

so core fighters is finally out in Europe. Are there any major differences between that and DoA5+? I have that free from PS+ and wondering if it is worth switching over to core fighters.

 

[TheSeks]

Well, for one: The playerbase moved to 5U/Core Fighters and the other is rebalancing/new characters.

So, yes.

 

[YoshiStrife]

I'm thinking it's Hitomi.

I dunno; I'm gettin' Helena vibes.

In fact, could even be Ayane.

 

[Dantis]

This would have been a perfect opportunity for some Fatal Frame crossover costumes.

BUT NO. NOTHING.

THANKS TECMO.


Also, I'm pretty sure it's Tina.

 

[Mesharey]

Leon and maybe (I want) Ayane with blonde hair?

That's a new stage?

 

[Dantis]

Definitely looks like a new stage to me.

Reminds me of various stages from Ninja Gaiden.

 

[ShinMaruku]

I hope everybody get that red riding hood outfit. So when I fight Brad with Hitomi in that outfit I hear, "Run away little girl run awaaaayyy"

 

[Pimpbaa]

Can't wait to see all the girls halloween outfits. Even if they are all rehashes, they should look immensely better on the new models.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Can't find the option to choose the p2 side. Where is it?

I always play on 2p side in fighters so this is really bothersome.

 

[DR2K]

Kasumi's halloween outfit is disappointing.

Red Riding Hood is Tina, yes?

Red riding hood Rachel would make more sense.

 

[thejpfin]

Hopefully this Halloween update comes to everyone at the same time (talking about regions), but I have bad feeling that EU store is gonna be late again...come on SCEE step your game up.

 

[YoshiStrife]

Don't think you can set this for online, if that's what you're referring to.

For Versus or Team Fight, though, you can press left or right when the Player 1 controller comes up before proceeding to the character select screen.

 

[ShinMaruku]

So good to return to this after playing AE. I think I can handle both.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Why they did it for 2 modes and not all? Smh.

Thanks.

 

[Hours Left]

So we've got...

Feudal Princess Kasumi
Viking Bass
Gladiator Leon
Red Riding Hood Hitomi

I'm digging the Halloween theme, even if three of them so far are rehashes. I hope every character gets a costume, and that the dudes are suitably sexed up.

 

[Manp]

Halloween costumes? nice! they'll be up on EU PSN by Christmas... 2014

 

[YoshiStrife]

Few hate mails this evening. Loving it.

 

[ShinMaruku]

One guy called me a spammer.
Then I did spam.

 

[thejpfin]

Damn right. When you get hate mails about "spam". Make a re-match with that guy and spam like hell.
It seems like some people don't know there is Hold button lol.

 

[YoshiStrife]

Exactly. I was called a button masher, then I told him to come back when he's learnt how to use the hold button. Kept replying back to me. Very sore loser. I had the last say then blocked him, the prick. Actually the first person I've ever blocked lol.

 

[ShinMaruku]

He held a few times but I was spamming throws XD

 

[thejpfin]

. Actually the first person I've ever blocked lol.

Luckily there is only few players in this game who do that stuff like sending hate-mails and such. Most players are friendly.

God damn, I lost my 11 win streak. It was F rank player with zero matches and wins so I thought: "This will be easy". But nope. He/she was so good, pulled combos constantly.
Got my ass kicked xD . Lesson learned: Ranks don't mean shit.

 

[Hubb]

It seems like some people don't know there is Hold button lol.

I'm terrible at holding. I need to practice it, but never get around to it/don't know the best way to practice it.

 

[Kumubou]

Mmm, if they're going to bring back old outfits, they should bring back the Deception crossovers that Ayane and Helena had in DoA2. Actually, knowing Tecmo, there's about a 100% chance of that happening around Deception 5's release next year. :x

The more I play this game, the more I'm not sure if it's a good game or not. I really do wish things were just slightly more safe on hit and on block, across the board.

 

[xion4360]

Feudal Princess Kasumi

The red riding hood is tina. trust me.
