I too have trouble mastering holds.

I feel like part of the problem is that I just simply don't know whether my opponents' strikes are in the high, mid or low range, and I more often than not use the wrong direction. Is that punch a low or mid? Is that kick a mid or high? It's impossible to know unless you simply research how other characters work and try to remember it.

That's how I feel, at least.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Try to watch how they do their combos then toss out the hold.

 

[Pimpbaa]

The red riding hood is tina. trust me.

Definitely looks like Tina's skin color.

Hey guys, I'm really having some trouble doing Momiji's Junyo-Izuna. I'm so frustrated I'm considering buying a stick(which I should probably do anyway). Any tips you can give would be greatly appreciated!

More detail:
I can get the 236P+K pretty regularly. Then I hit PP but sometimes only one punch goes off. I cannot get 236P+KPP consistently, let alone the 360T.

(oh, and I can't wait for the Halloween costumes! Take my money, Tecmo. All of it.)

Sure looks like it.

Yeah I just have problems practicing it. I guess I should just vs AI and do nothing but try to hold them to death.

Go to training, show move details, you will know how to hold these attacks.

Side note: Looks like Hayabusa and Kasumi are appearing in Ragnarok Odyssey Ace: https://twitter.com/TeamNINJAStudio/status/385645066334638080

Direct link to the site won't work from here, for some reason, so linking to the Twitter link.

Yeah I think the timing is my problem. DoA5 was my first DoA game and I am not used to holds. I just spam them out or ignore them all together, which is bad and I know it.

DOA5U was made with a controller in mind not a stick.

 

[NeoGIF]

A good read: http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/2/47...-bosses-discuss-their-respective-free-to-play

 

[Skilletor]

I wouldn't say that, since it IS getting an arcade release.

But DoA is easy enough to play on a pad.

 

[Dantis]

Told you Hitomi wasn't Red Riding Hood.

The fact that Tina and Hitomi have actual new outfits just heightens how disappointing Kasumi's is.

 

[ShinMaruku]

It's getting it after the fact.

 

[Dantis]

Momiji had best get a halloween outfit, and it had best be a good one.

She has way too few outfits.

Also the HItomi shots show more of the new stage, and I am still confused. I wonder if it will just a be a whole new stage.

 

[Ermac]

All I want is a thong bikini for Mila

 

[AlStrong]

Maybe Helena's outfit will be that Arabian/Genie one. :]

 

[Lyte Edge]

I don't really pay attention to the DOA community -outside of GAF, of course- are people calling Rachel broken, or is this just due to Lopedo (sp) winning The Fall Classic with her?

I played one ranked match against this guy. It was a lagfest, but even then all he did was mash the punch button with Akira, so I won by blocking and retaliating with basic combos or parrying. And man, was he SALTY, lol. (Note- he is responding to me taunting at the end of the last match)

Reminds me of the good ol' days of vanilla SF4, when the hatemail came by the truckload.

He's back!

A friend sent me the following:

Played your boy last night- ran through him 3 times and then I get a message.

 

[Skilletor]

It's getting it after the fact.

/shrug

Play on what you want. Controls have been the same since DoA2, and that came out in arcades first. Whatever you're most comfortable with is the best way to play.

 

[YoshiStrife]

He's back!

A friend sent me the following:

Seeing this made me decide to look up the guy that sent me hate mail last night. Tapped his PSN ID into google and the only thing on there is him rage quitting in MK9 lol.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

All I want is a thong bikini for Mila

Yeah that would be awesome but I doubt we will ever see it happen.
On the other hand, thong-bikini Hitomi looks really bad, so maybe its for the best?

I might buy viking Bass. He is the only male character I use.

 

[PotatoCat]

Got me DOA plus, loving it so far. Will probably buy Ultimate as well when i get some money. Im using Mila atm, but i switch to Tina sometimes.

 

[Endo Punk]

oh man! fought two Tina's online and they completely destroyed me. Her knee to chin throw takes a quarter of the life.

Lisa and Tina definitely feel incomplete! The girls just don't have the ass to pull of the thong look. I understand Itagaki doesn't like junk in the trunk but it's the next step for the girls, and besides Itagaki is in Limbo now, lol.

TN needs to deliver for DOA6. And bring back arcade endings.

 

[synce]

All the girls have relatively big butts in DOA5... Anything more would look like a bangbros production Actually one thing I hate most about the game is they used the same body model for every girl. The Japanese girls are way too plump. I recently picked up Girl Fight and I love how each girl has a distinct body type

Well, I would assume the DoA girls are designed with a Japanese ideal in mind, which is why I think the asses are so lacking. From what Ive seen in Japanese porn, the girls asses are by far their weakest point (from a White guys perspective) which makes me think Japanese guys just dont care about round asses.
At least Lisa, Mila and Helena (check out her new taunt) all have pretty solid looking butts, IMO.

 

[Mesharey]

Helena?
Edit: or Hitomi?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't SaitoKojima an infamous troll on GameFAQs?

 

[AlStrong]

Helena?
Edit: or Hitomi?

hm... it's a different skirt from before at least (other one looks more like a toga-mini of sorts). Maybe Hitomi and Leifang are a pair?

 

[YoshiStrife]

Helena?
Edit: or Hitomi?

Hitomi.

 

[Dantis]

Hitomi.

Nope. That's a different outfit.

 

[ResidentDante]

Already had the collector's edition of DoA5, but had to upgrade to Ultimate. It's been a while since I played DoA now. I just love the characters models and details on them, but man, is it just me, or are the textures on the actual ground terrible? I mean they look so low res, I just wish they'd prioritised them more graphically when they are very apparent. Maybe I just don't technically get fighting games, but it's not like they have so much going on in the screen other than a very small environment and a couple of characters.

Can't wait to see a DoA6 on next gen!

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

He's back!

A friend sent me the following:

I think I played this guy before and I think he even sent me a message as well. Can't remember. I could of sworn he was in one of the DOA lobbies putting messages in the chat box.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Serious question. Is Ayane considered REALLY top tier or one of the best characters in the game or something? She is practically the only character I fight online lately, espeically in tag team. It makes me wonder.

I rarely, if ever fight these so called, broken Rachels online. That is one reason I ask because I do hear about there are quite a bit of Rachel players online which I never seem to encounter.

I just checked my psn mailbox:
"Holy crap, your connection is unbearable" by Saito

Hahhah, is like he automatically blames the lag if he loses.

Gaf lobby tonight?

 

[YoshiStrife]

Gaf lobby tonight?

Could try, yeah.

The usual 9pm UK time onwards (4pm EST onwards).

Everyone has access to Ayane for free. Blame F2P.

[bigninja]

Succubus Christie!

Franken Ein?

 

[Auskeek]

Succubus Christie!

Franken Ein?

I didn't even notice the fangs the first time I looked. Awesome.

 

[Skilletor]

I still can't find ranked matches, and the rare times I do it's somebody with 0 matches played and they deny the match.

Super frustrating and shitty.

She's one of the top. I think the top is as follows:
Ayane,Misty,Tommy,Gen Fu Hayate and maybe Jann Lee

 

[Dantis]

Vampire Christie looks boss.

Kasumi has by far the weakest costume yet.

I don't know if you're trolling or you don't know what a big butt looks like :/

 

[ShinMaruku]

Only R Mika and Mai had bootys.

 

[Ermac]

I think Mila has the biggest butt, especially in her racing outfit

 

[ShinMaruku]

I think they all have the same ass. Just some outfits accentuate their bootys.

 

[lazybones18]

Christie fangs....somehow I'm regretting not picking this game up

 

[ShinMaruku]

It's not too late to pick it up.

 

[YoshiStrife]

Anyone for GAF lobby tonight then?

I'll probs wait for a little bit for some confirmation. If enough people fancy it, will make a lobby around 10pm UK / 5pm EST (or later depending on if people prefer a bit later).

 

[ShinMaruku]

I'm game.
