I fucking hate this game. Every time I play it, I want to whip my 3DS at the wall. I don't know why I'm torturing myself like this.

 

[Effect]

Sorry if this was commented on before. If you pick up the game now you've pretty much lost out on the costumes that have already come out? Or do you still get them?

 

[grap3fruitman]

There will be another phase with the extra outfits.

The cycle is going to repeat so you'll have a second chance at everything you missed.

 

[Kevtones]

Fuck man.

I lost the throwdown against Ryu

Only one I've beaten. All the others have DESTROYED me.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

ROFL Hayashi's got a scrubby Ryu. I schooled him on proper Hayabusa ass-kicking really fast.

Game's a lot of fun, though I wish it did have a time attack-type mode that didn't have preset routes with the same characters, wanted something more like the older ones. Also, online sucks pretty bad in terms of lag from what I've played.

 

[luffeN]

nothing to see here -_-

 

[grap3fruitman]

Take these numbers with a grain of salt, they're from the Japanese guide I got recently and only an opinion of the whoever wrote the guide.

 

[reggieandTFE]

Is it possible to block or dodge projectiles (ie Hayabusa's blue fireball bullshit)?

 

[remz]

Counter hold them and you kind of spin straight past them

 

[grap3fruitman]

Or you could just hold block. It's a lot safer and your best option since you can't sidestep projectiles in this game since so much shit tracks.

 

[Trojita]

Is everyone else playing their game each day to get the DLC or leaving their 3DS in sleep mode? I worry about wasting the battery or electricity lol.

The way the 3ds is designed it makes more sense to leave it in sleep mode all the time and never turn it off.

 

[lobdale]

Mine is always on sleep mode and in the cradle if it's not with me. Hadn't fired up DOA in a week till today, then watched it unlock all the costumes from the past week on boot.

 

[Chorazin]

I was so happy when I finally got a decent costume for Christie yesterday!

 

[Effect]

The cycle is going to repeat so you'll have a second chance at everything you missed.

So just one more time or will it be a on a constant release loop? Was curious about this in regards to Samurai Warriors Chronicles as well since that has been getting DLC the same way.

 

[jufonuk]

just got it today(had some points on my loyalty card for gamestation and some points on a trade-in card), loving it so far, though wish there was a normal arcade mode, as well..
game looks awesome in motion, noticing the frame drop when the slider is turned up to full..love it so far though..

.with this SSFIV, (hopefulling coming out in the UK) Blazblue & Tekken the 3DS is getting a few nice fighters too add to it's lineup..still hoping MvC3 comes out as well for it

I haven't turned my 3DS off since I bought it.

 

[catmincer]

With the costumes I can get them again in July is that right?

 

[Cheska]

This is my very first time playing a Dead or Alive game. ever. Is the story mode supposed to be easy? I'm on chapter 3 so far and I've only died once. The combos are much more fluid and easier to pull off than on SSFIV 3D.

 

[The Elite]

Thank god for a Christie download yesterday. About fucking time.

 

[Ninja Dom]

In the UK we just got a new costume for Ryu Hyabusa. It's another unmasked costume. Ryu isn't too concerned with hiding his identity in the Dead or Alive games.

I hope that when Team Ninja unmask him in Ninja Gaiden 3 they make him look like he does in DOA Dimensions.

Chronicles mode is new for the series, and basically amounts to one massive tutorial. So it never gets too hard.

Dimensions is a bit weird in that it has a lot of pre-defined single player "courses" in each of its modes and most of 'em are not too hard. It doesn't allow you to set the difficulty for them or such.

 

[maeda]

Who thought that it was a good fucking idea to have super long cutscenes in a fighting game? Chronicle mode is like a joke... seriously. It gets fucking frustrating. I regret my purchase, should've have gone with Steel Diver instead.

 

[Giolon]

Christie's outfit today is awesome! I was also stoked to see Leifang's DOA1 outfit show up last week.

Don't want cutscenes? Play Free Play then, set it to random. Infinite Arcade mode. Boom done.

I happen to really like Chronicle mode for condensing down the stories of all four DOA games into something that's almost coherent.

 

[Axkil aka StabMasterArson]

I know what you mean, she's hot....and her new costume is hot.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

So how do you take photos while fighting?

which buttons? thanks

also how do I get DLC?

 

[Pimpbaa]

Yeah her best costume yet. I love the DLC and it's delivery method, I hope they plan on doing it again some time down the round.

 

[The Elite]

A second Christie. The gods are too kind.

 

[Giolon]

Hook your 3DS up to the Internet. Then just wait (sometimes hours, it pulls data periodically - it's known as SpotPass). You should get a Blue SpotPass notification on the game cartridge icon on your screen.

TeamNinja is giving out 1 DLC costume per day and 1 Developer ThrowDown match per week. This is the final week of the costume DLC, but it's going to repeat once, starting next week. It lasts approximately a month.

 

[Dreamwriter]

I just wish the Chronicle mode had some kind of difficulty to it, maybe increasing slowly. And I wouldn't call Free Play an arcade mode at all because if you lose against an enemy, you don't keep fighting the enemy until you win, and the difficulty doesn't continue going up until a boss fight. I really wish the game had a normal arcade mode; it's like they designed the game with only two things in mind: tell the stories of the first four games, and have online gameplay. Everything else is just filler.

 

[Azure Dream]

I thought it saved when you accepted a SpotPass Throwdown, so you couldn't redo it no matter what. But after Jann Lee handed my ass to me (god he's annoying to fight), I powered off before the "Winner" screen, and on coming back, the Throwdown was still there. (And then I beat his Bruce Lee-wannabe screeching face into the ground.) Wish I'd known that would work, now the only Throwdown I've failed so far was the very first one. I hope they get repeated like the costume DLC, because I'd hate to eventually have every figure unlocked but one.

I like this game, but it annoys me how a handful of moves just take off gigantic chunks of your life bar, without really being that much more "open" or dangerous to the user.

One other question: playing Tag Mode with the AI... am I accidentally telling it I want it to tag in sometimes, or is it just literally deciding to pop in whenever it feels like? The manual didn't really say, and it gets really annoying when you're focuing on doing a combo, then suddenly the AI steps in mid-string.

Oh, was the secret character mentioned in the SpotPass notice this week common knowledge? I don't have everyone unlocked yet, so I can't test it.

Okay thanks got a black leather Christy costume

You have to go into the Showcase from the main menu. You pick which level you want to take photos in (I think it's the X button), then the figure you want. It explains itself pretty well from there. It tracks your movements and angle, sort of like the view on the Main Menu of the stage it loads up.

 

[TheSeks]

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_6ca8pX0

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

The first 4 video is bad. Lot of glitching. But sweet jesus at the second, is DoA4 REALLY THAT FAST? I don't ever recall it being that speedy.

3.1's Ayane seems to have a lot of evasive action than I've seen. Neat to see her roll through Helena and mix-up.

 

[Trojita]

Man those last Tag Match Challenges took forever.

I can't seem to unlock all of the characters and costumes though.

 

[The Elite]

WTF. Anyone else just get a spot pass about a hidden 26th character - Shiden!?

 

[ToD_]

Yes, I did. Haven't tried it yet, though. Still have to unlock one character.

Spoiler

Happy about the new Christie costume

You could have played as him prior to the notification.

Something is wrong with those videos but they weren't like that when I originally posted them.

I really wish I could play some 3.1 with people. =(

 

[Izayoi]

Picked this up along with OoT for Target's half-price promotion.

I look forward to playing it after I beat OoT.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

I haven't turned my 3DS off since I bought it.

Same....mine stays in sleep mode on the charger.

 

[lazybones18]

At least now I know how to see Shiden's 3rd costume

And something has been bugging me for a while and involves the game's Throwdown Challenge and the SP Mii Plaza

On Sunday, I was at a Gamestop for a StreetPass event being held for the release of OoT. I managed to get my 2nd Throwdown Challenge against a regular player and not someone who works for Tecmo/Team Ninja

But for some odd reason, the person I played against in the Throwdown Challenge didn't show up in the Mii Plaza. And it happened the first time I did a Throwdown Challenge against a regular player.

Has this happened to anyone else? I would like to think the only reason it happened to me is because on both occasions, I had the game card in the system

It's possible that the person you got the Throwdown from did not enable streetpass for mii plaza.

What's the new Christie DLC costume look like? I didn't have internet yesterday

Also when I was trying to look for pictures of the DLC costumes I saw this image on the site

http://www.esperino.com/tecmo-koei-reveals-dead-or-alive-dimensions-gameplay-trailers

That picture is photoshopped right?

 

[Master Milk]

you mean the hard nipples?

Here's a hint....she looks drop dead sexy in it

 

[Trojita]

Yeah :lol

It also seemed like they dropped Ayane's top a little.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I just got a new costume download for Kasumi

DAT Green Hat

Since I got this at the same time as Zelda I am using it between dungeon breaks

 

[hikarutilmitt]

Yeah :lol

They've been doing the hard nipples thing since DOAX2. I was surprised to see it myself when I first found that picture, but it doesn't really surprise me.
