Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Ya, those look exciting!

If DOA5's a good game it could get popular again.

EDIT
Famitsu 360 mag has a questionnaire that readers can mail in every month.
DOA4 is still in the top 20 most popular games (according to reader's answers) and is the oldest game on the list (2 years older than the next oldest game (Gears Of War)).
This month 13 readers voted for it and it's #8 (the same as last month). The top game (Gears of War 3) had 31 votes.
DOA5 is in the top 10 most wanted games as well (#6 but last month was #2).
As the questionnaire doesn't need a stamp (but is in Japanese) maybe I should start mailing it in as well...
 
If that character list is right and Brad is in the game people better watch out lol. Also why not put in Eileen from Virtua Fighter. She is infinitely more awesome then Akira and Pai Chan put together.
 
As much as I love Eileen (she was my main with Akira) Im surprised she didnt make it. I believe Akira is a awesome character for the fact you have to put work to make him awesome and Eileen monkey tricks is just plain wicked. Pai... never was a fan of and Sarah I didnt hate her but its not like i love her either. Despite all im just glad VF ppl are getting some sort of love and the fact VF is literally in june is a plus.
 
Yeah, but there's a lot more danger zones now. With that, damage potential is going to be nuts.

For example in this limbo stun "combo":

You can hold during limbo stun, thus not everything being "guaranteed." But, this is just to show my point of potential damage when everything adds up. Note that this is only against a wall.. what happens if that last hit knocks the opponent off the stage for a stage transition mixup? lol

Oh well, I'm enjoying the game nonetheless. It's just something I noticed, that's all. All of these high damage danger zones might just keep us on our toes, or something.. who knows. I mean, Tekken gets 60% wall combos right..? lol..

You shouldn't be able to counter out of the actual limbo stun. You can slow escape it and then counter I think but I haven't tried the actual demo yet (will be 2morrow). Good DoA players counters strings and this is even more so in stun because we recognize all the strings so that combo while it was cool getting that particular combo would be extremely difficult because the hit leading to the limbo stun is a 2 hit string. So unless that is a 2 in 1 would be very unlikely someone would be hit by it. After the p+k,p string they shouldn't be able to counter the next attack so you should be able to launch freely there.

The wall damage is fine especially considering the wall means more in this game. In DoA4 you could hold after being wall splat or you could slow escape and hit the floor even faster and could even do wake up kicks from the wall. The damage is more than justified. Especially considering you can hold almost anything in the game which I am still hoping they change.
