Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Or you can just do 5P at range to enter BT, because it leaves her back turned and there's the fact that P4P exists. Safer and less riskier than a ranged P+KP 1.

Also, BT1P is a better low after the +1, it ends up being i12 just as BT2P would and it "tracks". Stuns on counter hit and has follow ups. BT6P crushes highs and lows, but does not beat out i11 mids. However, BT P+KP beats out highs AND i11 mids (or slower) and tracks.

The only actual attack option that can hit Ayane is an i9 jab, which will only tie with hers after the +1. i9 jabs (or slower) also loses to BT6P. The +1 does nothing but put Ayane into a favorable position. You cannot side step, you get counter hit for trying. And all her options favor her a lot more than it does for you guessing and pressing buttons.

You have to block, or guess with a hold/parry. Ayane can also just do BT8P to be at neutral and test your reaction.

I just bought DOA5U and can't wait to play it! I got bored of SCV and needed a change lol - looking forward to trying out a series I've never played before.

Will the learning curve be steep? Which characters would you guys recommend I play? I'd prefer someone who is fast and aggressive if that helps. Watching videos online, Kasumi seems fun to play, but I don't know if she will match my usual playstyle.

There's plenty of beginner friendly and aggressive characters to play. Since you're an experienced fighter, you might want to try command training and see which characters feel more comfortable to you.

Mage, the most beginner friendly characters in DOA5U are;

Momiji
Ein
Genfu
Hayate
Hitomi
Rachel
Kasumi


Ein and Genfu are the most well-round in that lot. Ein is simple, straight forward, has very good damage, and is very well balanced.

Genfu (my sub) is simple, has very good damage, and is a monster in CQC (close quarters combat). If you were to give Genfu a shot, I can certainly help out with that.

Momiji is probably the most beginner friendly character in this game. Very good damage, one of the best whiff punishers in the game (66PP), good pressure, good movement and mix up.

Hitomi is straight forward like Ein is. However, she has a lot more string variety and mix ups than he does. Very good damage, amazing KBD ability, solid whiff punishment, good tools and good pressure.

Hayate is a solid and well-rounded ninja on the roster. He's got good mix up, good mobility, and solid damage.

Rachel is very good, although she is slower than the rest of the female cast because she is a super heavy weight. But she has solid but straignt forward strings, pressure, and good damage.

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

@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.
