Downloading Core Fighters now. May get the full version later this week on disc, but I don't know yet. We'll see. I skipped the original version of the game, but I do own Dead or Alive 1 through 4...but I never got around to 5, for some reason. Heh. I did like the demo for it, though. I played that quite a bit, though it's quite different from the final version.
I main Ayane and Hitomi, so I guess I'll be half-okay for a bit with Core Fighters. I like to mess with the whole cast something, though, and I do wanna try out the rest, especially the new characters and the Virtua Fighter character. I love me some Virtua Fighter. That I actually own all of the games for. I still find myself playing Virtua Fighter 1 and 2 a lot on my Saturn...

Was. Deleted it when I got my disc of Ultimate. The pre-order code isn't working so I'm going to have to hassle Gamestop or Tecmo later this week if it doesn't activate on Friday. >:|
Ultimate has the stages unlocked from the getgo. No need to play online matches or add people to your friends list to play player matches for Forest and Lost World.
Lost World looks pretty. Had a Hitomi vs Lei-Fang match and it's basically an HD DOA3.
Weirdly, I don't see Core Fighters/demo on the US store. WTF SCEA?

It's there, just not on the front page or anything yet, for some reason. But if you search for it, it'll show up. That's how I started downloading it.
Which reminds me, I should go check on the download progress...78%...
grace chen time in full effect?
It's in the free to play section.
Edit: Looks like I have to switch to a digital copy, today my ps3 disc drive just decided to go out again...

Can Ultimate people fight with base game people.
Downloading the US version of Core Fighters to tide me over until the UK release.
Yep. It's in the OP!
I'm a dumbass, sorry! If you mean can vanilla players play Ultimate, then no.

I think he means DOA5 no-U and DOA5+. Which is "No."
You know, I've never asked who you play as. Who is it?
I think you're right, my bad!
No luck on my Gamestop code either.
Anyone have success with their Gamestop pre-order code?

I microwave steaks.
I haven't tried it but according to everyone on gamefaqs, no one there is having any luck either. Silly that's our Tecmo *laughtrack*
edit: Anyone up for some matches? PSN : Paulink

Same here. I know the game just came out, but I was hoping the match finding would've been snappier. I finally found an opponent, then mashed X to accept, but it wouldn't go and the person quit on me. I immediately realized my controller turned itself off because finding a match took so long.

Yay. Odd how they're 100 kb files, how much do we want to bet the rest of the "planned" dlc is on the disc?
Regardless, I'm happy. These costumes are HOT. Though I've been doing terrible in ranked so far.

why was this (f2p version) buried deep in the psn store and not listed on the ps store update blog?

I've been kind of wondering that myself. How are they supposed to get people to play it, when tons of people probably don't even know it exists?

At least if they're on the disc, they'll show up for other people when you play online, unlike vanilla.

I'll probably go online tomorrow. Learning this "Hold" system is rough for me.
Yeah, seems impossible to read stuff fast enough to know what direction to hold. I remember being told to just block and ignore holds starting out.

That makes sense. I was trying to finish as much of the tutorial as possible, but got stuck on the last part where you have to do 3 holds, haha. Seriously though, my reflexes are pretty bad.

just booted up the game... should i go casual or pro?
after googling, (at least for vanilla doa5) apparently there are undocumented effects that you can only change by deleting your save and re-choosing?

That never really mattered to me, I don't get costumes for other people to see. If it was a big deal, they could release a compatibility patch kinda like what original street fighter 4 and Soul Calibur 5 do.
It's nice that they're on the disc, but it's not a very good justification for more on disc dlc.

Game is a noticeable improvement from doa5. New characters keep it so fresh.
I think rachel and Momiji's animations look awkward compared to the rest of the cast. Even the vf characters fit in better.
Helena's my main, but I like Christie a lot and Hitomi a decent amount as well. You play the ninjas, right?
I'm not expecting Tekken-class netcode, but is it comparable to VF5FS?
