Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

OK, i give you that. But i already made clear that it wasn´t meant that way.



Imo it is almost impossbile to adapt only during 2 fights. Players with very good yomi/mind skills can do that yes, but they are rare from my experience.

DOA was and is imo very extreme when it comes to mind and guessing games. Much more than SC or Tekken.

And no, this time i made myself very clear... I said "most people who use Helena..." not anyone.

You're right, it's harder to adapt in DOA on a tournament because you only go for two matches versus SC's 3. Never knew why they did 2 matches though. I mean, I can usually adapt enough but if I lose a round I'll start to panic because I only have one round to fix my mistakes and get in their head. It'd be nice if the standard were 3 matches and not 2.

It´s not about the rounds in tourneys only imo. It´s just that DOA is more mind game/yomi
heavy thus making it more difficult to come back/adapt during 2 rounds compared to other games like SoulCalibur. But that´s just my personal experience.

That's good to hear, do you play on PSN also? I checked on gamefaqs and seemed like the PSN DOA5 Ultimate board was a lot more active then the Xbox side.

I'm mainly on PSN, when I say the Xbox community is bigger, that's just from hearsay. That, and DOA has been Xbox exclusive for 2-3 games. If anything, because of this the killers are on the Xbox side, just like Soul Calibur happened to have its vets on the Sony side (because of PS2 loyalty).

I'm not sure if I am ready to move on to better competition, if I'm having trouble with these players. The thing is, I know I can beat them. I know exactly what moves they're doing and when and I know exactly what the weaknesses are. And yet, I'm unable to beat them because I get in my head that I need to vary my attacks to keep them guessing and it never works on them.

If anything, that is the reason why you have to move on.

A change of pace should be good for you. That, and maybe playing harder players will build an appreciation for spamming and easy mode.

at tourney's DOA has 3 rounds. i was confused by your post because you were using rounds and matches in sort of the same context. so there are 3 rounds. best 2 out of 3 matches. so it's the same as soul calibur. so i don't know what the deal is or what the issue may be here.

Soul Calibur is 3 out 5. Been for over a year.
