Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

[Rekano]

Or you can just play ranked matches as in v1.03 that now will unlock costumes and characters

This is what I was planning on doing...until the Xbox Patch got delayed...
Still will, whenever it does drop.

After coconugate, I seem to have lost my drive and confidence. Can't seem to get into it. Wonder if I should try, or perhaps I should try focus on having fun, rather than try to improve.

Just have some fun with it for now, you might find something out that way. Can't constantly be work.

the problem with this game is someone can mash out a string of moves and if you are actually trying to learn a string of moves it gets hard. So It's best to have fun and try to learn moves another way.

Hey guys whats the difference between this game and virtua fighter 5? I only have virtua fighter 5 but yeah was just wondering

It's a little more loose on the string system. The Side Step system isn't linear/half-circle/full-circle and is instead tracking/no tracking. The opponent can struggle against most stuns to speed up the stun instead of specific parts of the stun. Overall attacks do less damage, and the focus is more on patternistic string application more so than poking frame traps.

Lastly, it's honestly easier to see the fluidity, animation smoothness, and just has a lot more flash than VF does. Itagaki probably said it best that VF is an old-fashioned sushi bar and DOA is a modern sushi bar where the waitresses are on roller skates and fun clothing.

Oh, and the online isn't as good as VF5 though you have a wider audience to play from. However, out of that wider audience comes a large percentage of players who just don't know how to play and don't care to learn properly.
