Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

[TheOtherJN]

I'm surprised at the general inactivity of this thread. Did you all not know there was a DOA5 E3 Tournament that was streamed live?

One/two tournaments for each day of E3. Likewise, June 7 (Today) will be the last DOA5 tournament. I think they mentioned it will be happening 10AM PST?

It's the finals, where the top 8 got in: sWooZie, Kayane, Vanessa, Master, Black Mamba, Chosen1, and two other fellows whose names I forgot.

EDIT: sWooZie, Kayane, Vanessa, Master, Black Mamba, Chosen1, DYoshi, Jovany Zuniga

Amy defies all logic. Her 66A+B can lift a golem like Astaroth. That is some bullshit up logic right there lol.

Kokoro imho is probably gonna be those ladies that aesthetically doesn't look as tough gameplay wise, but will have amazing frames and wtf bs logic. However, that's my scrubby opinion on defending my lovely Kokoro haha. ^^;

Historically, Kokoro is beginner friendly. Apparently Itagaki liked the fighting style Akira had and wanted to incorporate it in DOA without the high learning curve. Thus we got Kokoro. In previous DOA games, her move list was rather limited, though she did have the signature 3part throw (it was her toughest move in her list). She had a lot of miss so she ended up being a bit weaker than some of the other characters because she was rather easy to counter. Anyway it'll be interesting to see where they take Kokoro and what they add to her.

you make it sound like Kokoro was in other DOA games besides 4. but that's just me nitpicking. i don't think she's really beginner friendly for the fact that she can be countered easily. that fact that she doesn't have much knockdown power is a double edged sword. in the hands of a really good Kokoro player that is deadly. in the hands of a beginner it's an easy way to counter her back. her 3 part grab was excellent but could also be cheap in a sense. (i only used it if someone got on my nerves with something) it was the only multi-part standing grab in the game that couldn't be broken. if i get Pai Chan and Jahn lee back then i will officially have my dream team.

Sounds like you played Kokoro at a pro level or at least at a semi-pro level. Question I have for you: Is her 3 move throw like Kilik's asura dance? Like could it create opportunities?
