Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

I wrote a thing mostly as a response to Dead or Alive 5's announcement. It seems outdated because I only got it finished last week. :<

From the perspective of most competitive players the core mechanics of Dead or Alive–the holds and excessive hit stuns–are broken. They make nearly every action performed by either player a total guessing game. This sort of system will probably never be viable as a tournament fighter, if only because it creates an inverted skill ceiling where as a player gets better their options within the game become more limited. That’s not the kind of thing a competitive player wants to work toward.


Really, so every counter I have managed to do in DOA has been a Lucky guess ?
