Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Play this part again, mentally, in slow motion. The problem with taking Helena's "force tech bullshit" is that it's really the only thing separating her from the trash heap. It's all she has. I think TN made the right decision leaving it. If TN were to take it, and they opted not to leave the character totally irrelevant, they would have to do a total overhaul of her move list. Which is a lot of work and tricky to boot.

Also, I am totally non-biased.

Normal hit low stuns that are not staggerable, mid launchers that crush highs and other mids, and an assortment of strings that are almost impossible to sidestep either mid string or end string due to speed and tracking placement.

And that stuff is far, far, far more deadly than her force techs.

Weird, I'm getting a lot of clipping/screen tearing on this video. Heck I'm getting a lot of tearing on all youtube videos. My own videos on my hard drive seem to be working okay, however.

New computer right? Check to make sure you updated your graphics card.

Say Tom, or anyone who is more knowledgeable than I, what is "half hit attribute"?

Half hit attribute is an attack that hits from its furthest distance. This only applies to some attacks, most typically full circular ones. Basically the attack does half of its normal damage and will do a different hit effect. The effect is typically a shorter stun than if it was a full hit.
For example, take Helena and hit her 2H+K sweep or SS K, i forget the notation for the standalone sweep, and hit at the furthest distance.

You're basically saying that all Helena has going for her is her force tech shenanigans. That's just not true. I thought it's already been debunked that DOA5 Helena is not a bad character and never was. Some people just blew her "unsafety" out of proportion and created a false-sense of crappiness in their heads. Considering how brutal she can be once she gets a stun going, I'd say that she has a lot going for her and is no where near the "trash heap" (try winning consistently with Brad Wong or Lisa instead against someone that has a remote clue how to fight against them).

Admit it dude, your character is good and always was! The force techs just seem to give her an unnecessary edge.

Yeah, I already updated and installed the new drivers. Its a GTX 670. Still seeing lots of clipping on youtube videos, especially when their in HD streams (720, 1080).

Never!

Just out of curiosity, FoN, who's your char and how'd they make out?

Thankyou, Mr. Wah.
