Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Kasumi is fast and she has solid damage overall. Pretty good tools, good mix up, good pressure.

huh? that's weird, kasumi board told me that she's not easy to use and suggested ein instead, weird.

what should be a beginner's approach to ayane? I saw the top 10 moves, your breakdown topic, and some combos and that's about it. what should a new ayane player focus on practicing?

Adjusting to her back-turn stance (very important) and spacing (important for any character). At least, given my limited experience fighting Force-of-Nature.

Kasumi is no longer a beginner (easy to pick up character) in the latest release of this game. hell i don't think she was even in vanilla. her execution is too fast and pretty strict with its timing to allow her to be "easy" anymore. most people, i guess, think of her as DOA4 Kasumi still. well, team ninja has made sure to nip that in the bud real fast and quick like.

@ZOo00OOm if you need some assistance on Ayane, I'm at your service. Anyone that is anyone in the DOA community knows I'm the go to player for Ayane depth.

What are some of her best tools to approach the opponent and build pressure? Also what is considered unsafe in this game?

Indeed. Her execution barrier was pretty high in 5, but 5U makes her one of the highest of the regular cast. Hayate's probably the closest to 'pick-up-and-play' the ninjas have anymore.

No, not counting Momiji. She's simple, but does require a little finesse to open up her massive damage regularly, and she's a shrine maiden for her day job.
