Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Forgive me for not looking through 199 pages of thread to get an answer to my query. I'm thinking about getting this game to try out, I'm just wondering how the online play is. How's the skill of online players? Will a really sucky player (like I would be) be able to find similar skilled opponents? Will there be a possibility to learn, improve and continue to find opponents to match my skill? How is the onlie on a purely technical basis? Godlike, laggy or something in between?

Bonus points for guessing: How would I like this game, seeing that I really like SC4, kinda like SC5, don't like Tekken at all, somewhat like Mortal Kombat, and saw something in DOA4 but never really bothered to learn it? (Yes this is an impossible question to answer, try and guess away if you like)

Alright, you have more scrubs than you do advanced players because the game just easily allows for button mashing up to a certain point. That certain point is apparently unattainable by 60% of the online player base. Yes, you will find similar skilled opponents. Yes. Something in between, probably close to SC4 delay.

I think you could like it a lot. I really liked SC4, kinda liked SC4, don't like Tekken at all, enjoy the concept of MK but not the practice of it. However, I didn't care for DOA4, and Virtua Fighter always interests me but bores me after a week of play. The game plays like a dumbed down VF on crack and hype.
 
sooo i'm uber pissed!

they nerfed my Pai in a big way. they removed the bounce from her 66H+K on air hit. it made up most of her B&B combos. now that it's gone Pai is even worse than she was before the patch. for those that didn't think she was low/trash tier before could probably reconsider that now.

Maybe some other changes they added to Pai buffed her up a bit. Like how Helena was before people knew about her PFTs. I hope you find some new BnBs for Pai. :)
 
How many of you have actually fooled around with the tag mode. It's amazingly deep and i think can have the same amount of hype as Marvel if enough people start playing it. A lot of unlinkable sitdown stuns are now more able to be linked due to the fact that tagging in the character removes the recovery frames. You can practically go sitdown > sitdown > CB! > Launcher > Relaunch Juggle > Tag! > Relaunch Juggle > Tag! > Relaunch Juggle > Tag! > Juggle Ender.

Here's a video showcasing DOA3 tag:
