Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

So, I'm thinking of buying this game but I'm not sure. I have to admit, it looks reeeeeally cool with all the stage effects and the character models look great too. If I did get this I'll most likely main Helena or Tina. Could anybody please explain to me what Helena or Tina's playstyle is like (offensive, defensive, technical)? Also, is there a DOA equivalent to Tekkenzaibatsu and 8WR? Thanks in advance. :)
 
Hello, some of you may know me, some you may not, but this game looks super fun. SC is the only game is I play. If I'm not on SC, I'm on Netflix, but yea, this game looks fun. So, is there like a notation that they use to measure moves like they do in SC? Are there any websites that I could use to learn more about the game, because I'm buying it. It's official. I am determined to buy this game, and I will.

i don't know what this talk about Lisa being nerfed and Helena being nerfed... ...Helena's hit areas and stuns are different as well. that 66KPP that used to always be punished if finished? that first punch now stuns and makes that second punch a much easier hit. i know that the low is expected to be countered now but none the less that's a buff.

You have to look at the whole picture, not just the most optimistic projection of one half of one unreliable string. I don't think I need to go into a laundry list of specifics, she's slow, massively unsafe, doesn't have one automatic launcher, she's lost a few very good strings not the least of which is PP2KP, bokuho no longer ducks mids that hit low, P+K lost a lot of its evasion and (don't quote me on this) I'm also pretty sure she doesn't have an unblockable move in her repetoir. I have yet to check a forum, I am not the worlds best player but I have been playing Helena for a very long time and the nerfs are quite apparent. Maybe a forum will tell me how to adapt my style, but that will not make her risk reward ratios any better, nor undo the changes to move properties. Or maybe they will have even more terrible projections of doom and gloom than I currently do. I dunno. What I do know is that it's ridiculous to point to one stun and say she's not nerfed.

I don't know about Tina, but in my experience I say Helena is evasive with a good mixup game. She might be a bit more technical than some characters, with her back facing and bokuho stances and their associated shifts, but these things just add to her mixup potential. It's a little hard to get in with her now though. Sidestep k is good, avoids non tracking moves, moves you forward, sweeps low, shifts into bokuho automatically (I think). You can also use P+K to move under, in on and crush highs, though it's riskier than it used to be. The follow up is a ground-bounce causing overhead. If you don't want that hit the hold button after.
