Hey Guys. I've never played DOA series but I wanna get into it.
Got a few questions:
1. Is this game balanced?
2. How steep is the learning curve on this game if someone never played it?
3. Boobs?

1. Yes
2. Moderate
3. Very big and bouncy

Edit: Just noticed your request for the Top 8 characters. You can check out FreeStepDodge for some discussion on that, but these characters tend to get seen favorably: Sarah, Helena, Gen Fu, LeiFang, Ayane, Jann Lee, Bayman and Akira (Christie also can be a big threat to many characters). If you learn any of these characters properly, you'd be formidable in DOA5.

I'd say DOA plays closer to Virtua Fighter than Tekken due to the similar controls for attacking, movement and defense. Tekken's movement is considerably stiffer compared to DOA, has 4 primary attack buttons and the game lacks a block button. The only thing DOA really has in common with Tekken is that they're both 3D Fist-fighting games.

Tekken has a greater focus around launch punishments and frame-trapping, whereas DOA is more designed around providing you with the tools to read your opponent and act accordingly such as counter holds, parries, conditional launchers and an array of powerful throws and grapples for example. The environment is also a larger factor in DOA, facilitating some unexpectedly devastating combos (however, TTT2's wall combos and balcony breaks should definitely not be discounted).

DOA is all about getting into your opponent's head and mind-fucking them. Do you want to hit that max-height launcher, hit that crippling Critical burst or smack their sorry ass to the ground by a brutal Hi-counter throw?
