Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

No idea. But then again, the whole Dynasty Warriors series hasn't really been received well in the US where people think it's all just about mashing the same button over and over and over and over and over...

I suppose so cuz the majority in America like to shoot and kill. Why not combine it into a game, oh there's cod which is also a big blob of repetitiveness: run around, shoot, kill, run out of ammo, pick up the same weapon used by someone else, get killed, and rinse and repeat. I'm not directing any hostility to you by the way

It's so popular in Europe that it got a physical copy for ps3 (I got mad about this) and 360 :/

I'm sorry, but preemptive bans are one of the dumbest things to happen in fighting games. You CANNOT make a judgement on a games balance before the game comes out.

You can if you already have the game. (I already have the game.)

Speaking of which. ALPHA is actually only just B-tier in FSD's most recent tier list.

You have to also remember that tier list was constructed with minimal, if any, high level player input. It was basically a place for people to bitch about who was where because they were going to do it whether we wanted them to or not.

As for their "analysis"... let me put it this way. It took six months for the community to recognize Helena for being borderline broken after I initially said it. Six months. They aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. And even then, most of them still don't understand the real reasons, instead blaming it on a blanket statement of force techs.

It only took Perfect Legend five minutes to figure it out. Hell, even E-mann came to the same realization by the end of the day.

The community at large however isn't very bright.

There are characters that are going to be more popular and also insanely frustrating when the game comes out officially. They will overshadow Alpha because Alpha simply won't be played as much. I imagine it will take another year for people to finally come full circle and recognize the broken.

as a newbie i gotta say that the only that bugs me in DOA is the okizeme/wake-up game. it seems like unless you're a grappeler, you cant really affect the people you knock down. then again, im new. so im probably missing something lol.

But doesn't the fact that you can figure out that a character is broke kinda worrying about the entire game in general.

Then again, maybe it's just because I'm used to playing games were we run broken shit for a year, then figure out more broken shit to counter it.

Unless off course you're saying that Alpha's ST Akuma tier or CvS1 ratio 4 Nakoruru tier.

You have options like force techs and pseudo force techs to force people to get up and keep them from doing wake up kicks. Also, I recall certain moves flat out beat wake up kicks.
 
My only Alpha story happens to deal with a lesser skilled player online. He picked Alpha - her green color - and picked the arena stage with the forcefield and used the forcefield and Alpha's color to basically blend in and hide's character from view. It was pretty annoying since you couldn't see exactly what Alpha was doing or what not.

If anything, unless they fixed the color of Alpha for that particular stage or just Alpha's colors in general, I would ban her default green and that stage in particular because the colors are far too similar and its easy for Alpha simply blend in at the corners.

While I didn't actually lose any fights against this particular player (he wasn't exactly good); lag, combined with colorblindness made it more difficult than it needed to be.

Actually, in vanilla 5 tournaments, the only Alpha skin allowed is the blue one for that reason. The red is in case of mirrors, but gods help you if you end up in the elevator. 5U has a new black-glowing-white skin for just this reason. It looks freaking awesome.

I agree, it's sorta going to be like Viola all over again, everyone in the beginning said she was low crap tier.. xD I remember a friend saying "tried Viola, she's really complicated to play as, she barely does any damage.." Dun dun dun.. 3 months later, lol!

Omg 2 more days away from this awesome game!

Team Ninja REALLY needs to market their games better, at Gamestop I asked "oh may I pre-order DOA5 Ultimate" and they said "umm... you want to buy it new or used? Wait... it's different from DOA5?" I mean some people who work at Gamestop didn't even it was coming out, wow!

I need to drop kick that person that didn't know :/ I work at GameStop but i'm surprise the person didn't even pull up the preorder list when they heard "preorder"
 
I pre ordered DOA 5 ULTIMATE today, but I am a bit disappointed.... Because of that as ultimate title, Team Ninja should add more stages just as they did in DOA 2 ULTIMATE...These 5 new stages are not enough...!! I hope tha Team Ninja & Tecmo will surprise us in next week with the release of the game.... And we will find out more stuff that they didn't reveal us...
 
Is there a collector's edition coming out in the US?



Not really impressed with Momiji's movelist, but I will say that I suspect we'll see a lot of repetitive play on her PPKK strings. It will be very annoying.

EDIT: Should mention, I'm still very interested in playing her, but at first glance, her move list looks a little shallow and not varied enough.

Unfortunately not. I wish there was a collector's edition :/
For you Momijians out there
 
This is going to sound sketchy after I just got some ragging on Alpha, but Rachel is currently broken.

Now understand that when I say broken I don't mean simply "unbalanced to the point of unfairness" like most people use offhand. When I say broken here, I mean she is doing shit she was not meant to ever be able to do, and her force tech stomp mechanics are... doing interesting things as a result.

It's like discovering your box of 9mm have been replaced with dumdums.

And I don't mean the lollypops.
