I was never really a fan DOA and it was mostly because of Itagacki( since I really like Tekken) and the oversexed stuff. Recently I realized that I should at least play the game and see why other people like it and try to keep away from an already ignorant and negative opinion I have of it. I've never had a chance to play it because I've never owned an Xbox long enough. So I'll think about picking this up when it comes out, it looks pretty cool. If Helena is in, I can't wait to see what she looks like.
It is a great a game buddy, Once you understand the unique timing of DOA you realize it has so much Depth! And it it a lot like SC in the sense that its 4 basic button in combination with the movement that make up an animation as oppose to Tekken! Oh and the graphics are top notch!
I sadly have been unable to play a DOA game since DOA 2 Hardcore. I am looking forward to playing one again finally. I plan on buying 2 fighting games next year and so far DOA has a slight edge over Tekken currently with Soul Calibur being my main game. Wonder what they plan for a release date considering they've only given us a very small glimpse of what is to come.
I thought I would just quote a random post cause I wanted to point out that it didnt even occur who you were until I went to freestepdodge now I know though feel kinda slow for that one.
I was thinking the same thing!! I Envision Helena Busting a bunch of super kicks like chun-lee style...
If Helena is anything like Chun-Li, she will be an instant main. But the main Characters I want to see is Lei-Fang, Ayane, and Bass.
Brad better do some crazy drunken aerobatic shit off the ledge and land head first in your stomach. Eliot needs the x ray style from MK because his punches are serious.
Dude Kasumi will go off with crazy pink teleporting shit everywhere lol, Lisa will do flips on your ass, Jan lee will bust some crazy Burce lee punches before tossing you in the air and dropping a dragon kick on u... Ohyeah
put Helena and Chun li in a fight without powers and Helena has an instant win! I want to see my Hitomi, Lei Fang, and Kokoro. I'm already have an idea as to what hitomi can do from the Dead Fantasy series.
I'd expect Helena to show up. I'd be shocked if she didn't frankly featuring so heavily in DOA4. I also can't wait to see what she looks like. She's been my main since DOA3. She may not be as good as the ninjas but she's still quite solid and I like her style.
yeah she's not as good. because she's better! I mean who else has a double duck? And she's got power and a serious launching game that's unrivaled. I'm just hoping they keep in tag mode. that's pretty much the only thing I play on DOA4 anymore because it's still fun. Especially with 4 people.
That launching game is what I absolutely LOVE about her. Air combos can't be countered out of, so nice. And that Bokuho can be so deceptive. Great character, but all she really has for oki is a free OTG kick after her Bokuho throw. It's nice if you deceive someone into expecting a low combo and hit them but otherwise it's not enough and keeps her outta the ninja tier imo.
Yeah she's no ninja but is really good thats for sure. She has a lot of uncounterables maybe the most I counted over 10 at one point in time. Although I would not doubt it if Busa had more. Of course uncounterables alone don't make a character good just thought it was interesting.
Even after all this time I'm still trying to get Lei Fang's advance counters down. I can only do one on reaction but the others are still confusing to me during a fight. you risk getting hit and suffering a step counter.
