DID8/Absolute Battle 3 Grand Finals:

Kudos to mamba for winning and kudos to master for his amazing come back (almost)

d3v

Grats' to BlackCrack Mamba, especially for winning with someone who many consider to be a low tier character.

shuntsurigi

Probably Mamba killed the low tier Helena Notion with his force tech set Ups. Perfect Legend mentioned it weeks ago. Nobody believed him...Now everybody is talking about force techs...

Sorwah

Its sad because it's the way you had to play DOA4, so I'm shocked at the amount of players who weren't attempting it.

So that's what you do with Ryu. Man I suck at this game.

Sorwah

Yeah, Ryu is a mid range sniper using his ninpo tricks to keep you just out of range from whiff punishing.

That was a glorious GF and liked how fast pace it was too

Anybody here checked out the guidebook? How is it?

I don't have it but there's a free sample PDF of Kasumi you can find googling. It was written by Dr.Dogg, a competitive DOA player, so it's very good from what i've heard.

DOA5 confirmed for IPL in 2013.

More details will be available on Friday, but for now I can confirm that DOA5 will be a featured title in the main IPL tournament series starting in 2013.

You guys asked for it. Now I expect to see every single one of you at these events.

New DoA 5 costume dlc pack

Joe Zombie

Am I the only one who just wants new stages? Enough with the costumes already...

Apologies for the self-promotion but my 'Top Players Replays' series is going strong and is at #96 right now:



I've also uploaded a couple of FT5 sets between top players, here's one featuring ZeoRebirth (really good Akira player) and ArtemisX:

Sorry if this has already been stated, but what's the doa5 equivalent of SRK? I'd like to know more about this game.

Sorwah

Probably FreeStepDodge.com would be the best answer to that question.

Number 13

FreeStepDodge would be the better choice over DoACentral

d3v

Exhibition mode with (almost) all costumes, characters, stages unlocked confirmed.

Usually if a feature is not in on release its deal with it for the community. Good on Team Ninja for patching that in.

Rhio2k

Vita port incoming!!

Number 13

Glad its coming on the Vita, Vita actually building a good collection for fighter games

d3v

The only thing that'll justify the "Plus" moniker for me is a World Heroes style Death Match mode.

Helena bodies everybody at NEC, this time in the hands of a 14 year old kid.

They called me salty at D.I.D. but I can't say I didn't warn people...

Number 13

No idea why people branded Helena low tier simply because her damage output is garbage. Also with Exhibition Mode people can now rejoice they can play Alpha 152 without having to grind titles

Hot Pants

Pretty interested in this game. How's Ayane? She was my main in DoA2. <3
Just wanted to know. Is the netcode for this game good?

All around the ninjas seem to have gotten at least a small nerf, but they're still really good. Hayabusa is really different now. Netcode is fine as well. The people that complain just have shitty connections.

Goddamn I've been looking for this thread for so long. Search function on this website is dicks.

Sadly I had to get rid of my copy but I'll be getting another soon. Have there been any changes since the game's release?

Most probably IPL is what pushed them to add it in.

Because she was garbage. The initial patch made a stealth change to the games system which gave her the ability to force tech as she does now, making her the headache that she is.

Maria Croft

I'm still not even a little convinced Helena is top tier.
I 'am' happy to know she isn't low tier though.

What i want to know, is when are they going to give me the option to buy the unlockable swimsuits >:(

They released them for sale on the marketplaces 2 or 3 weeks ago...

I am talking about the special swimsuits of Tina, Elisa and Christie, the ones when you finish some survival mode

I think every game should have a "unlock everything that is normally unlocked through play" DLC option. I can spare $5 more than I can spare time.

Hecatom

Exactly, that is something that is present on almost every game genre except fg's and fps's :/

d3v

I believe that's what Exhibition Mode is for.

He's not talking about Sawnik, he's talking about XCaliburBLadeZ. But yes, Sawnik got 3rd in the DOA5 NEC tournament.

Never. They know you (many people in general) want it too much.

Ever notice how a majority of the DLC packs are slight variations on previous costumes? It's good to have something to work towards.

Meh, i think that giving the option to work for it or pay for it is always good.
Not everyone is willing to put the time on single player modes when they can expend it playing the game against other people, which is the real goal of fgs.
It would be nice if they give me the option of how i would like to obtain them, like how it is done on racing games for example, i don't mind playing the single player campaign to unlock the cars and tracks, but not everyone has the time or wants to do it, so they give the option for both type of players to get them.

There's already little to no incentive to play any of the single player modes as is in DoA 5. It's not going to kill you to work for more costumes. And not everyone starts out online unless they already have a good grasp of the fighting system.

I play DoA 5 for the plot xd

Kasumi is god awful now though.

d3v

So Latif is picking up this game as well. In fact I hear he's part of Emperor Cow's upcoming video series.

Wow, now that's an honor! What made him switch from Scrub Fighter IV to DoA5?

Sorwah

Who said he "switched"? He could just be adding it to his tournament portfolio.
