As I have made clear in the past, I'm completely new to DOA.

What exactly does that mean, and what does it entail for Bayman?

Hm... well the simple way to explain it is that in DOA when you stun an opponent, they can take a certain amount of damage before the stun breaks and they are reset. This is called the "stun threshold". The closer you get to maxing out the stun threshold, the higher the launch you can get and, therefore, the bigger the combo's damage potential.

If you manage to "break" the stun threshold with a special attack called a critical burst, the person goes into a very long, unholdable, unshakeable stun that pretty much lets you do whatever you please to them.

The reason I pointed out that these combos aren't really too high on damage is because a lot of lighter stuns can be countered out of. To reach full stun threshold certain characters have to take greater risk of being countered during the initial parts of the combo because they lack good unholdable stuns.

Whats this mean for Bayman? Very little actually. Bayman has good unholdable stuns and can reach Critical Burst in as little as 3 hits (as of E3) so his damage is pretty legit. Of course he is also slower than average, fairly unsafe on many of his attacks, and has very short range aside from a couple attacks. That's the primary tradeoff for him to get that big damage without being countered so much.

But some of these combos in the videos are actually pretty unsafe to attempt, so it's not really blasphemy to give them respectable damage.

That's high-counter damage revision and most of these combos are full stun threshold or close. If they lowered the damage any further strikes would be irrelevant.

Maybe the Life bar is also set on normal!? It's funner on the largest setting... :)
