I've been interested in picking up Ayane and Christie.

Are there any notable players I can watch to get a better understanding of they play these characters?

Yeah, like Windstar said, HajinShinobi is an exceptional Ayane player to watch when it comes to better understanding Ayane. Kudos to him!

Also, this may help ;) http://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/the-butterfly-kunoichi-doa5u-ayane-breakdown.2940/

Is Marie Rose really that low on the list? Not that I care, I told myself that I'd main her but I wanted to get everyone's opinion on this and the rest of the list. If I'm late to the party, I apologize. I just want perspective in preparation for Summerjam.

Lol, that Tier List is just full of fail so far. But Marie Rose is pretty much Mid Tier at best so far. She's not bad, but she does have her challenges, particularly with spacing. Good luck at SJ dude. I'll see you there ;).

Chortle


EDIT: A couple characters are way too and and way too low on that list. Rig, Helena, Hayate and Momiji should all be lower. Zack should be higher, Jacky should be a touch lower, Pai should be much, much higher. The rest of the cast is a little fuzzier to me, but I believe that Bayman, Leon, Alpha and Ein should all be much higher than their current rankings.

Marie Rose is a pretty solid middle-tier character. Should be on the same level as Hitomi (the only one I can really agree on).

But basically, outside of a few outliers that are well above where they should be, the top-tiers and the bottom tiers are pretty clear. But its a bit fuzzy where their exact placing would be, (I don't agree with Christie being above Sarah, for example).

That list is inaccurate, do not follow it. It is really just a bunch of low level online players voting for it.

Yes, Hajin-Senpai. How's the meta right now? Care to share any insight on the current state of affairs concerning the game?

Also, on a side note...There only seems to be room for two more characters on the character select screen and one is probably for Phase-4/MIST. So, are we really only waiting on 1 more reveal or are they going to use the whole bottom of the screen and put in 7 more?
 
S: genfu
A+: Leifang, Ayane, Christie, Hitomi
A:Jannlee, Hayate, Helena, Akira, Momiji

Requiem has genfu, Christie, Ayane, Leifang and Jann lee as his top 5.

Some reasoning about the change in letter grading. DOA5U is a very balanced game. Unlike a game such as SSF4 AE (which is also pretty balanced), character match ups have a bigger toll from top tier to say mid tier, and low tier. Some or most match ups are either favorable or really difficult for some mid tier characters versus a top tier (always depends on players of course). Thus they have SSS, SS, S, A, etc etc.

DOA5U does not have any character in the game who just flat out wrecks the cast. DOA has characters where everyone can actually fight someone else pretty well, or well enough. No one is broken or overpowered, some just have the ability to shift the momentum in their favor more often than others. While some also just seem to have better tools overall than most. That's why the letter grading starts at S, and the next is A+. In my honest opinion, I do not believe any character is terrible in this game. So I do not believe there is anything below C, which describes a character being awful if they are in D or F.

Certain characters I said were possibly top 10 earlier are not in my top 10 because I re-evaluated them and other characters who are in it. Most would think Momiji doesn't really have a lot going for her, I urge folks to look again. I also believe that Akira is the best virtua fighter character in this game compared to the other three. Who are all generally pretty strong anyway, but I don't see Sarah being any better than Akira at all.

Having frame traps and good frame advantage is always a good thing to have, but it is not the end-all-be-all of DOA. Defining practically the entire rule set of DOA is what makes a character outstanding in this game. This game has a heavy influence on environmental interaction, and the top 3 take huge advantage of that aspect, which is one reason alone why they are above everyone else (lots of characters take advantage of that but some have the ability to do it from almost everything they do, more than others).

I dont really care or mind if she is weak or strong, just wanna play with her.

sitenote:is it me or just imagination..her moveset is quite similiar with the Kas from Razors Edge...hope someone know what im talking about.

To be quite honest, at least half of her moveset is just like Kasumi's. If you can play Kasumi, you can play Phase-4. You'll just need to adjust to the differences in some moves and how their tech will play out.
