Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

I only have a list of characters that I want to try, but I'd prefer to use easier characters if possible.
how about I list the characters base on my interest level, and you order them base on ease of use?

helena
lisa
christie
rachel
sarah
momiji
alpha

I am sure the list covers all 3 types, but I don't know which one is easiest to use.
 
Easiest from top to bottom.

Rachel (easy, mindless vortex, medium damage potential)
Alpha (mash buttons, get stupid amounts of damage. very fast, best throw in game. TERRIBLE DEFENSE)
Momiji (hit buttons, cool shit happens)
Helena (incredibly good crushes, good lows, good throw resets, great vortex, medium damage potential)
Christie (very fast, best sidestep evasion in the game, medium to high damage potential)
Lisa (slower attack speed but extremely good movement, good crushes, high juggle and throw damage potential)
Sarah (fast, frame advantage beast, technical, medium to high damage potential, no vortex but incredibly difficult to stop regardless)
 
Momiji would probably be a good choice. Medium speed, and her 6PKK double jump allows her to get damage in combos when she really shouldn't be O_o

She has some difficult inputs but from what I can see if you don't choose to use them you're only missing out on 10-20 damage.


Rachel is also easy but you're going to have to learn about holding real quick if you can't land that blender.



Proper use of the triangle system is the most important, I think. Land a critical stun, then throw (because a majority of players will panic when stunned and hold immediately and repeatedly). When your throw starts whiffing because they're not holding, then you can start using combos, whether it's a quick launch or carrying them all the way to Critical Burst. If they start holding your combos to get out of them then start throwing again. etc., etc.

Other than that everything is pretty much the same, any fundamentals you learned from SCV should carry over.

Lot more strings though.

Over at free step dodge all the Helena players, including mamba, seemed to be having a pity party over Helena's current state. I'm not trying to contradict you man, I'm totally noobish and poorly informed about this game so don't get the wrong idea when I ask you this, you're saying that she still has a great vortex?
