It does if you have a new copy of the game and download the Online Registration DLC. I forget the real name of it though. It basically gives you the code in the new game for free, but if you haven't played the game before then you get a 48 hour trial for online play.

Ah okay, thank you :)
For those who are wary of DOA tag, the recent patch really brings it closer to what it once was. Here's probably my favorite combo videos done by none-other than the French DOA players of 2002. keep in mind they are playing in a game that has it's max life at 240 points unlike DOA5 which is 270.

In all honesty, the netcode is perfectly fine if you play people in 4 or 5 bars. Obviously 1 or 2 bars should be avoided, and it's only the 3 bar matches that can be a little iffy. I can still play in 3 bars, but it won't exactly be representative of offline play at all. In other words, if you're mostly going to be playing people that are 4+, and aren't online douchebags, you'll be perfectly fine. Patch 1.03A just became available on PS3 (patches usually appear on Monday's or Tuesdays).
I can tell you as of now that your reservations on this game can be put to rest. No matter how you look at it, DOA5 is solid and is well worth the price of admission all things considered.

People forget that for tag, those combos are only doing about 40-50% damage of the total life.

Liking the changes to wake-up kicks making them lost out to attacks with more active frames. Gives the game more bit of a vortex game outside of force techs.

Compared to SCV the netcode is ass. But then again that SCV netcode has spoiled us all. To answer your question it's playable online but it's much better offline.

Np miss. Hope you enjoy the game. I'd say it's still easily worth the 30 bucks you can get it for now.

We'll see, downloading it now. :)

Best of luck. I'm sure if you tell people what kind of characters you generally like to play they'll probably have about a dozen different suggestions for you. :D

Finally went back to the lab (a.k.a. went to collect command training titles), and I've hit an annoying snag on a few characters, one more annoying than others: Sarah's JF kicks. Are there any tricks people have for nailing them JFs, or is it not that good a move to use in the first place?
Also, now that I've tried him in command training... I'm kind of digging Bayman. He and Tina seem to strike a nice balance between speed, power, and grappling. Any good tourney players I can watch for tips?
That said, I really like the feel of 1.03A (said the casual).
