I had someone spam Genra's projectiles from across the screen. Couldn't side step it and it was too fast to close the distance in between shots. If I started dashing I'd end up having to block and I get pushed back further. How do you do it?ShockingAlberto said:

You're safest bet: Go straight up to Genra at the start of the match and unleash punches and kicks. Don't stop and don't even think about grabbing him. Get him to the fire as quickly as possible. If he attacks, do your best to pull off a close range counter. Sometimes if your AI partner is in and takes a couple of hits that push him farther away from Genra, it's possible that if you tag in, you'll be put in a spot that's closer to Genra's position

What about in an online situation? Is Genra legit or is he pretty much a cheese ball?lazybones18 said:

It's not a DOA4 match but here's probably my favorite video for show-casing DOA3.1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YT_6ca8pX0TheSeks said:
Here's some examples of the spacing you see in DOA4 as a result of all your moves leaving you at a negative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_zWeZaSi1k and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_mzWGHu_us&feature=related
Do not do what this man says. Master is probably the last person to actually "promote" DOA and has consistently lost against actual top players. http://shoryuken.com/2011/05/28/the-story-of-doa-politics-corruption-and-trash/Ninja Dom said:

I just watched the last three videos. I can see where Tom Brady is coming from, but the video seems a little too long winded, bitter and petty (spending too much time on the personal attacks instead of the legitimate b.s.). There is obviously merit in the politics or how certain organizations wouldn't invite top players like Perfect Legend, etc to their tournaments.

As I recall, the ages of Kasumi and Ayane have always been '???', or at least they were in the first two games. I don't actually know when their ages became known.Wizpig said:

Piece of piss and it feels great destroying spammers!!To Far Away Times said:
For Genra, just Hold his projectiles. High Hold for the fireball and Mid Hold for both the lightning attack and whirlwind. If you're up close when you Hold, you'll counter attack them and if you're far away you'll be free to move in on them as they finish off their attack animation.
Same applies to Ryu spammers - Mid Hold his fireball and move in; sidestep his annoying magic disappearing throw when they spam that.

Let him rush in to you and get him with a high kick or combo. Ryu, Lei Fang and Ayane have great high kick combos that have great range. The AI mostly doesn't anticipate you setting up that trap.

Still haven't bought this game yet... should I?
I keep hearing great things about it, and also keep hearing how this game sucks.
I'm heavily into Soul Calibur, and enjoyed DOA3. I've become more of a casual player in DOA now (I can barely remember any moves, really).
I'm really digging the graphics, but remembering some of the frustrations I had against CPU drove me to stop playing DOA games altogether.
Would I just be asking for punishment if I did buy this game?

For some dumb reason Team Ninja only allows you to change the settings(difficulty, rounds, time) in free play mode. Set the COM and stages to random and you can pretend like your playing the arcade
but if you like unlocking everything in the game, the fact that all the other modes are limited to one round makes unlocking go faster
radiantdreamer said:
It's easy enough that you could probably just button mash and get through 80% of the game's content.
However, the tag challenges are tough, as are a few of the other higher level modes. In any event you can at least play in "Free Play" mode to set the difficulty, number of rounds, amount of health and time.

You're going to love it. The people that say it sucks are usually the ones that aren't casual players and not happy with some changes in comparison to DoA3 and 2. It's a fine game, its rules are at fault to some fans. Personally I think it's much better than DoA4, it's closer to DoA3 and 2 (Ultimate) but those 2 games still look better and feel a bit better.
EDIT
Oh, and it's super easy. I remember Alpha-152 was very annoying in DoA4, but now she's so easy. Along with all the others on Chronicles Mode really. Not sure about the other modes since I haven't tried them yet, but you can adjust the difficulty with Free Mode.

10-15 minutes depending on how cheap your move is. Even if you lose(got all the way to 99 before I lost) you still unlock alot of stuff.

Don't worry, all the DLC costumes will go through a repeat process starting at the end of June. So whatever you missed, you'll have a chance to get again soon

I wasn't talking about the gameplay being that different when I mentioned close to DoA3, I just meant to me personally it reminded me more of those games in a positive way overall. DoA4 gave me a negative vibe and this brought me back to the series. I think there is a person here that keeps saying how shit it is (along with DoA4) for punishing players who go all offensive, and all those slight balances that he's annoyed about.
And uhm...you sound contradicting, is it like those games or not to you?
NEO0MJ said:
She was deadly. She had a move that took around 50% of your health, it's still in Dimensions but it's less damaging. She would also teleport constantly and counter most moves, she was more annoying. Now she's just standing there and waiting for you to hit her.
Yes, you can get all the costumes you missed somewhere in June, the dates are going to be given soon. So far, it sounds like the only chance you can get them.
RpgN said:
No, just paraphrasing what you said. I'm enjoying the game because for a handheld fighter there isn't much competition on that front.
Compared to other entries in the series, its gameplay is closest to DoA4. I don't see why anybody who disliked DoA4 would like this game since they play similarly. I like it because, as I said earlier, I have different expectations of a handheld fighter than I do a console fighter. I'm never going to take this game seriously on a competitive level, so I can have fun. But it is definitely DoA4 on portable.

Beat the Throwdown! Nearly didn't make it when I was the one knocked off the roof in the last round, but I scratched by.
What did the first week's figure unlock look like? Do you think we'll get a repeat of the challenges, like the costumes?

SSF4 feels like a "smooth" 30FPS when I play it online. DOAD can be all over the place in some matches. I play online using an 802.11n connection and generally get smooth connections in other titles.
And then you also have the lack of options and rematching. It's just not as good online. Good enough that it's not stopping me from playing the game, but in need of improvements that will likely never come.

Pretty sure the Tina one is the one at the very bottom of the list, in the black cat outfit with Lisa riding on her shoulders. (They don't look very happy though, so maybe she's in the process of being thrown.)

To make up for my loss on the Kasumi throwdown, I had my way with Tina and easily won (with a Great in Round 1)

thetrin said:I suck ass at the game, and I beat Tina. Do throwdown challengers disappear after you fight them? I lost the first one against Kasumi.
Yep, and unfortunately, it doesn't look like they'll be repeated after the first run but we'll have to wait and see
Woo today's DLC is a 2nd Kokoro outfit and it's her default from DoA4. I guess slowly but surely we'll get most of the outfits they had in DoA4, just not the variations however.
On a different note, started DoA4 back up again, definitely not feeling it as much as DoAD, but still trucking along as it's a better means for local matchup practice.

DOAD is a smooth 60fbs with the right person, SSF always felt cumbersome, although it probably had to do with the fact that the controls just didn't really work. I do friend matches and it lets you customize round, damage, tag or single, rematch options, etc. . . I made thread in the community section for friend matches. Although I do wish there was a rematch option for ranked.
For those complaining about not-so-smooth online matches, always remember to check the connection meter on the top right corner of the bottom screen the moment it asks you to confirm the match. Anything under two bars should be rejected.
By the way, I'm starting to get tired of Tactile Hayabushas. I always reject matches with people having it as favorite as they're cheap bastards spamming the projectile attack 90% of the times.

You just counter it mid. That shouldn't be a worry. It takes forever to charge up and is super easy to counter. /confused
DR2K said:
Ah, the way the lobbies are labeled is very confusing. I thought "Friend" was a match for friends, not unranked. I'll start playing that since I don't really care about a letter.
beje said:
We have very different definitions of cheap. I'd just say if you're looking for competition, ignoring Hayabusa is a bad way of doing that. He's one of the better characters. I personally enjoy crushing single minded players. It doesn't take long, especially on normal life, and maybe I'll run into a good player. If I thought your way, I'd have stopped playing a long time ago since the vast majority of people I've run into don't do anything but mid counter as soon as they're stunned, which just leads to me throwing them every time for big damage.
