Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

I must be REALLY unlucky though. I'm not even exaggerating. I think I got to select the stage maybe 2 times in all the matches I've played.
 
Loser picks stage.

The game's calling you a winner!



no, I dunno. in simple/lobby at least, loser picks stage. In ranked, or the very first simple/lobby match, I dunno.

I just end up picking random anyway...


I love that you can filter out what gets picked in random select though. I filtered out the circus stage.

... because I hate the music. yeah, I know. We don't get a techno remix or anything, they're just playing it straight?!

Lows that stun are scary.

Helena has a few, and also that stun extension trick. And what feels like a couple of frame traps. How is she bad, again?

She does have some really nice stuff, but she's got a lot going against her too. A lot of her punches are mid, she has 3 moves that give her frame advantage I believe, only one of which doesn't require a lengthy charge. I think almost every other character has more/better frame advantage attacks than Helena. A lot of her strings end with her being very negative, in other words she can be throw punished more than anyone else in the cast. She also has an 11frame jab where most of the cast's is 10frame. What she does have in her favor is some of the best side step attacks, some good stun mixups, and 2 great crushes in P+K and 33P.

I'm also finding I really like her wall game. But that's mostly because her "psuedo-force tech"(as Black Mamba calls it) is great for resets, mixups, and extra wall bounces. Seriously, if you don't guess right, Helena can just keep bouncing you off a wall for huge chunks of damage. When I get someone to a wall, it's usually over half their life gone(We Tekken now). Also, it bugs me how I've seen Mamba getting credit for finding the force tech when I was using it about a week before he made that post and learned it from watching CodeMaster in the PeacefulJay stream. If anyone should get credit for finding that 6P force tech, it's CodeMaster.

What safe strings does she have? And what do you use for resets against the wall?
