What made him want to play DoA5 then?

What usually makes people pick a game, they like it, they have an interest on trying it, etc

So is there a release date for this patch?

On a related note,I got the game not too long ago and I did all the requirements for unlocking Pai Chan. It even gave me a notification that she was available to play. However, she doesn't show up at the character select screen on any of the modes...Is this a problem only I am experiencing or do other people have this problem as well? Not sure if I could call it a glitch. It says I unlocked this character, yet this character is still locked.

Sounds like a glitch. I'd suggest running through story mode while doing the side tasks if you haven't already as that's the most typical way to unlock her. The official way to unlock her is get 100 titles.

Hawkingbird · December 2012

The upcoming 1.03 patch will allow you to upload matches directly to facebook and youtube from the game.

They provided a test video for the uploading.

Just did what you recommended. It took me a while, but she's finally unlocked on my end now

As posted by someone on FSD.

Here's an interesting question. Would you be willing to lose holds out of stun if in it's place, we instead got the ability to hold out of block stun (i.e. similar to red parrying in 3rd Strike)?

shuntsurigi · January 11

I would gladly lose holds from stun and change it for your suggestion or for some kind of non damaging combo breaker.

Meh, i think that giving the option to work for it or pay for it is always good.

That's precisely what Itagaki believed regarding DLC.

Well, at least they are giving now the option to get the costumes by playing ranked matches

Number 13 · January 17

That Update ^-^

Woot Zack Island Stage

The Martian · January 18

Everyone in this thread should support that breast cancer shit.

d3v · January 22

Patch is supposedly out on PS3.

Also, new batch of costumes are supposedly available on Japanese PSN.

The Martian · January 22

I just downloaded an update but it doesn't seem like anything's different. Wasn't there supposed to be a new stage and an Exhibition mode?

EDIT: Found Exhibition, but still not seeing the new stage.

You have to DL it off the PSN store as free DLC.

I can't wait for their release on the PSN :lovin:

Also, time to grind on Ranked mode in order to unlock the other 3 swimsuits :rock:

The Martian · January 22

Wha? How do you unlock swimsuit costumes?

Paraphrasing the 1.03 patch notes
150 ranked matches played unlocks Tina bikini
200 ranked matches played unlocks Christie bikini
300 ranked matches played unlocks Elisa bikini

It doesn't matter what character you use

wel it seems that i made a mistake this are the real numbers needed

[Costume] Each character costume (except Gen Fu, Akira, Sarah and Pai) – Fight a ranked match to unlock a costume of the character used. 1 costume is unlocked for every 10 matches fought.
[Costume] Tina’s Legend costume (swimsuit)- Fight 50 ranked matches. The characters used do not matter.
[Costume] Christie’s Legend costume (swimsuit) – Fight 100 ranked matches. The characters used do not matter.
[Costume] La Mariposa’s Legend costume (swimsuit) – Fight 200 ranked matches. The characters used do not matter.
[Character] Akira – Fight 25 ranked matches. The characters used do not matter.
[Character] Sarah – Fight 75 ranked matches. The characters used do not matter.
[Character] Gen Fu – Fight 125 ranked matches. The characters used do not matter.

Danx · January 23

Been watching high level footage of this game and I gotta say it looks amazing in tournament play.....have no clue why its still getting the same rep as DOA4 though or why it wouldn't be a auto inclusion to EVO like SFXT 13. Anyways I hope this game still has some legs by the extended community, hopefully its embraced in japan or somewhere else where I know people have a bit more diversity in their taste in fighters.

JayAlanCarter · January 23

well wasnt this game supposed to be included in IPL? lately, all i hear from that are the capcom games.. was doa5 dropped?

Well, obviously tecmo probably didn't use the power of the almighty $ to get the game on the evo line up like capcom with sfxt (again :bluu:

)

I kind of prefer what tecmo is doing with this game in that sense. I would rather the respect and credibility of the game be built off the players rather then a money pass to major tournaments. This game has some serious growth potential and were not even a year into fully exploring the meta game....who knows how good this game will look in 3 years. Either way I would rather have a game like SFXT in evo then DOA at this point because I think DOA needs to develop a legitimate respect for itself right. A money pass would just make people consider it a cash cow and I would rather capcom have the monopoly in that regard hehe:)

360 patch is delayed to Feb.

*sigh*

What is it with MS and delaying patches for fighting games.

Can't really talk much about this, but from what I've heard from some sources, EVO staff weren't too keen about having DOA. Off course, I'm don't really know what's going on behind the scenes so I have no idea what the reasons are.

Also, Japan is weird when it comes to DOA. The players who do play it are actually the ones who helped make DOA4 the trainwreck that it was. Japanese DOA players (who are supposedly also VF players) supposedly prefer there to be more hold out of stun compared to US players who wish they were removed in their entirety.

EDIT: Found out that the patch was delayed due to a glitch that prevents people from stagger escaping certain deep stuns. There's already a good sized movement in the DOA community for Team NINJA to keep this in. I'm inclined to agree.

The Martian · January 29

I really don't understand what possible issue people could have with holds in this one. I mean sure, in 4 it was utter shit, but now it's fine. I feel like removing hitstun holds from the game completely would just totally change the game.

d3v · January 30

Because it limits the opportunities for guaranteed damage, something which also affects the balance.

The Martian · January 30

I guess I can understand that, but without them being the way they are it would be little different from the rock-paper-scissors type of gameplay every other 3D fighter has. I play DOA because it's so different from the likes of SC or Tekken. DOA emphasizes on your ability to mix it up. I like that.

Mix ups are supposed to happen before you get in a hit, not after. The problem with the holds out of stun is that they punish a player that has successfully played the neutral game by requiring them to "mix it up" afterwards.

Bass is so much fun in v1.03. And no, the glitch doesn't affect his combos:

d3v · February 12

1v1 in 1.03A looks to be meh. However Tag mode, which has seemingly retained the lack of stagger escape from certain criticals is hype. It's like Mahvell in 3D. I expect full TOD tag combos by next week.

Sorwah · February 12

yes, I'm not a tag player but even I wouldn't mind doing tag tournaments:

It's more hype for the spectator I think, and adds a sense of synergy to it.

This game is free for EU PS Plus.

I can't find what's the competitive standard regarding the controls in this game. Stick or pad? Which button layout? Which sidestep command? (The one you can set in the options)

Most people I know set their layout to be similar to what VF has. As for sidestep, P+K+G.

Also, alot of players are switching to tag mode due to the differences that allow for more guaranteed combos without having to play the stun/counter game.

Then why play DOA to begin with?!

Because there's a decent game underneath. Also, the main issue with the stun/counter game is not that it still exists. But rather that the risk/reward balance still isn't right. While this isn't DOA4 where the best thing to do was to get hit and then counter out, it still feels at times that it's too easy to get out of a combo (and conversely, not much reward for going for one).

PointBreak91 · March 16

Really nice pictures above. Just a shame VF exists ;)

rayplay · March 16

Maybe this isn't the best thread to ask this but anyway, I missed out on this game due to little money but I'll be picking up DOA5+ (I always get handheld releases of fighters) and figured it'd be a good way to see if I would like the game enough to buy it on console and all. Rambling aside, I know nothing about the game and while I can do that research on my own, what does the tier list look like? That's one thing I can't find. I asked on gfaqs but, slow replies there.

tataki · March 16

It's really hard to find organized info on this game, FSD included... Is it too much to ask for solid top 10 moves lists + reasoning? I really don't need more than that in 3D fighters...

Because there's a bunch of guys in FSD who're more interested in arguing and drama over actually putting down anything useful.

I actually had to tell 'em off before some of them started to take the tier list/matchup thread seriously.
