in such a way that you you end up blocking low and mid while avoiding highs. For certain characters, you can almost fly backwards across the screen.

Yay spacing.

I really want to try this game out so bad. <3 I'm going to start saving money for it now.
If anyone uses Hitomi, Ayane, Ryu Hayabusa, or Rig, how are they in this game? Those are the characters I'm most anxious to use. :D

Here's my opinions on each character
Akira: He's still the fucking monster he is in VF5FS. JF Knee lets him juggle like crazy and sets up for big damage.
Alpha-152: She suffers the same fate Tengu did in DOA4: balanced to the point where she's pretty much a joke. She can't teleport except by countering and she has all of Kasumi's weaknesses but like 10x worse because half of her moveset whiffs and is super-easy to counter anyway.
Ayane: Pretty much the same as she was in 4. Very deadly if the player knows what they're doing.
Bass: Wow, they finally managed to make Bass not suck. Almost all of his moves got major buffs, and he does a shit-ton of damage now. Also, everyone else except grapplers losing their offensive holds is a major boon to Bass.
Bayman: Another character who I think got a huge improvement from 4. Bayman's throw combos are now easier, and his mixup game got buffed heavily.
Brad Wong: No longer bottom tier, now feels more similar to the way he was in 3.
Christie: Got the short end of the stick this time around. She's exactly the same as she was in 4 but some of her moves were inexplicably nerfed.
Eliot: If you thought he was good in 4, he's much better in 5. Still pretty solid.
Gen Fu: Same as he's been in every game.
Hayabusa: Pretty much the same as in 4 but with some of his options buffed.
Hayate: Pretty much the same as in 4. The only difference I noticed was that his Raijin throw has been removed and replaced with a new 3-part throw called Nakiryu.
Helena: Nerfed hard from her 4 incarnation, but still very good. A lot of her easy mixups are harder due to more recovery.
Hitomi: Feels the same, maybe buffed slightly.
Jann Lee: Still an extremely solid character. His Dragon Gunner throw now has a guaranteed followup with 66K so that's a treat.
Kasumi: Still beginner friendly. Even with counters nerfed it's still pretty easy to tell of the opponent is mashing out a combo with her.
Kokoro: Much improved from her original incarnation. Her main buff being that she now has a functional kimono outfit.
Lisa/La Mariposa: Seems a bit weaker than her original incarnation. Maybe a bit slower?
Leifang: Seems similar to her 4 incarnation.
Mila: Very beginner friendly and linear due to her small movelist.
Pai: Same as she is in FS - a beginner-friendly character who has infuriating mixup and damage potential.
Rig: Seems pretty beginner friendly. He forces you to respect his kicks and mixups.
Sarah: Same as she is in FS.
Tina: Buffed HEAVILY from 4. She now does as much damage as her father and then some. She's also a lot easier to use.
Zack: Seems the same as he is in 4.
