Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

When its good, its good. And when its bad, it's really bad. DOA 5's Online is really bad if you notice dropped inputs, hitching or stuttering and otherwise unplayable elements. Lacking those things, the online functions well, without a feeling of input delay.

Thanks to your statement, I can totally see players smashing their faces into their buttons, and like you I've had trouble punishing that. I haven't had the time or chance to go into training mode and run through frames to see whether Kasumi's (or others) PPP...xN are truly unsafe on block. At best they might be -7 which still makes them safe, but throw punishable. I think that frame data might be lying at least a little, though.

I have punished stupid stuff from other players online. Although I've had trouble using counters from block to do it, since the way the inputs work now is that you have to let go of block and then tap it and the appropriate direction at the same time and many times I screw up on that.
Well, even if they're not punishable on block, being -7 means that I should be able to get at least my own P in before the other guy can keep brainlessly mashing out his own P's. Yet I can't. That's what annoys me.
 
Complaining about online giving frame advantage off a -7 guarded move, just imagine if the move actually gave frame advantage and then you had to deal with online delay.

Punch, Punch, Grab... Punch, Punch, Grab indeed.
 
this is one of my pet peeves in this game. the ground recovery in this game sucks. that needs to be changed as well. it needs to be like DOA4 at least when it comes to a ground game. not only is the ground recovery hella slow but the frames to hit my opponent on the ground is smaller. so i smash some to the ground and try to follow up with what would normally force them back up but the attack goes through them and i eat a free rising kick.
 

What the hell was Team Ninja thinking giving Mila a fast low punch that hits grounded like that? Her normal ground hitting punch is fine, but that low punch is just plain retarded. Surprised this got past QA testing. On the bright side taking Mila into training mode and just ground-punching some character you hate is a great way to let off some steam and looks funny as hell.
