Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

As I explained before on my site. Personally I don't care between 3-point and 4-point, though 4-point can leave you second-guessing yourself more than you already are in the attack/throw decisions. You can logically just think mid is a launcher and hold an expecting launcher, or low if you expect a poke. With 4-point you have to worry twice as much when throwing a launcher if you're throwing the 'right' launcher'. It's not so much that the defensive player has less chance of 'guessing right' but that the offensive player has more shit to worry about in option selection. Again though, I'll deal with whatever. Bring on the pain.

Listen. Listen. It's not even that. Let me ask you something. What if your opponent instead cancels his attack altogether with a free cancel and at that point, you have to worry about getting thrown, as well. Even worse, the counter system takes actual accuracy this time on the holds, at only 12 frames. Also, in this game, the counters do no damage compared to the rest of the DOA games. With these things added together, offense, unless the damage of the entire game is nerfed, becomes excruciatingly overpowered, almost to the point of being non-competitive, based on their current decisions. Is that the game you want to play?
 
Yes.

That's because I don't think it will make the game 'non-competitive'. You have other options available to you as a defender to avoid the initial hit such as crushing attacks, guarding, or stepping. All are viable options that offset the low damage output of holding in stun.
 
Same can be said regrading the offender. If someone is spamming mid counters... You can Not hit them, Grab them, High hit, Low Hit, Wait a second lol ...

4 points just adds this frantic guessing element to the mix. But at the same time I am ok with it, But when I played the DEMO with 3 points (all the new animations) and the expert hold! That was it. It was PERFECT!
 
either way this will most likely (and will; yeah i said it O.o) be better than SC5. Sc5 was a noobs best dream. DOA5 doesn't seem like they stupidfied gameplay.
