i'm glad Mila has her ground game back. that really made matches for me feel weird since i rely on her gimmicks rather than her combos.

Although I expect there to be some disagreement, and yes I don't use either character... But how is this a good thing >:(?
The changes in 1.03A to the SE in sitdowns also seems quite ill-advised on TN's part. Now, when they do release the 360 patch, I'd hate to see what changes they make from PS3's 1.03.

Follow the rules!
If they release patches after this point, I'll be stunned and amazed.

I think there were plans to release a Spring and Summer patch. Though I can't remember where I heard this (or if it was even for this game).

don't tell me you don't know about the Helena ground game? just look at earlier DOA5 tournies after the game came out and it'll make you see.
as for Mila, her ground game was essential for her gimmick and mixup game.

Because it means that both don't have to rely on gimmicks to win.

wait. i thought Mila could be played with gimmicks. like her 6T setups and her sidestep grab. well i use gimmicks with mila as well as Pai. but Mila can be played in a ton of different ways.

Apparently tag mode still allows for guaranteed damage since stagger escapes have been taken out of certain stuns.
I wonder if this will mean a shift to tag mode as the tournament standard?

i doubt it since the juggles in tag are ridiculous and easy to pull of for major damage. at least I would be interested in tag tournies for DOA5

Not me. I'm more attracted to or repelled from characters based on aesthetics. I'm so casual.
The only exception is Viola. I like her look, but I hate playing against her.

Guaranteed damage is what the game is in need of the most. And consider the fact that TOD in general is considered fine by most of the FGC for tag team games and I don't think it's too much of a stretch to see Tag explored for competitive play.
TL:DR Hey, it works for Marvel.
Didn't see the trailer posted:
Looks hype, and yes they made it so some stuns aren't stagger escape-able in Tag. Everything you see above is guaranteed in the first hit.
Also of note, by Itagaki's own admission they were going with Tag as the focus for DOA2 and DOA3 in terms of game system. I think that explains why the stun system and combo system was what it was (i.e., good). However, after DOA2U they noticed the amount of people playing Singles and instead went to go "balance" the singles mode in DOA4.

Yeah, I know about their ground game, I'm just messin' with ya lol. I was enjoying fighting them without their added bullshit xD. Even without the ground game, Mila still seems quite solid.
As for a shift to Tag mode, I'm not sure yet. It will allow for the exploration of new tech and could provide the kind of excitement that other Tag-based games put forth, however, the game will appear less methodical or more about mashing out long comboes. But to each their own. I'd give it a try. I say give it a shot! If it works, awesome! Another dimension to DOA5 competitive play. If it doesn't? There's still singles matches to fall back on (something that other tag games can't do).

Yes, a patch for the game came out last night, but I personally don't know if the netcode on PS3 is still ass. (Don't be surprised if it still is.)

[10] Knight
Yeah I just wanna know. I know that -3 or -2 bars isnt playable. But I think I might be mostly playing with friends. If its laggy and still has issues, I dont wanna waste my money. :( So I just wanna be safe first.

The netcode is still pretty iffy, some people say no and the others say yes. My opinion is it is slightly more playable now than before. Also the patch was yesterday.

Okay, that's good to know. I wish PSN would give a free trial of it. That way I could know. :(
It's not so much a shift to the Tag mode as a standard.
What I think needs to be done is start bringing back 1v1 Tag Side Tournies, see how it grows. So at a tournament you could have 1v1 Singles and a 1v1 Tag tourney. I'd expect early on the Singles would far outweigh the entrants to tag. Maybe if it does get big enough and the experience of Tag grows on people then the 2v2 Pair Play tournies might start up.
At least they don't make you go out and buy a whole nother game disc just to do tag... unlike some game franchises.
What I do find ironic is people asking for long combos and guaranteed damage, now that it has been implemented in what honestly has been a viable competitive version of the game for over a decade, people are like "WTF?! That's too much damage off one guess!".
