Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

That'd be great if they weren't so rare.

true. i find a 5 bar connection more often than not though but it might be because i live in LA.

Okay so i find that DOA5 is one of the extremes online, either amazingly good, or terribly bad. When I mean bad, I mean BAD. but when I say good, I MEAN THE BEST. There seems to no median for me, but what i have found is when searching on ranked, do NEARBY, although it may have a little lag (which isn't to bad for me), it is so much better than a 1 second delay.

Hope you like eating lows because you won't be guarding low to block them 90% of the time from what I've seen. It's like SC IV 2-3bar. I hit a solid connection very rarely.

I haven't had any trouble blocking lows in DOA5 compared to SC4. Especially compared to SC4.

Oh geeze, I remember playing SC4 online and seeing every god-dang stupid low and trying to block it and not being able to.

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.​

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've had that happen before playing Kokoro online against Kasumi. It's really annoying. You can try sidestepping, or using a long reaching move. I will test it tonight to see what the frames are on block with Kasumi's strings.

​

I should mention that it's possible to actually duck and hit some even after receiving a high hitting blow. So if you get hit, and aren't in a critical stun, try ducking and using a high crush move/tech crouch move (I think most characters have a universal high crush in 2H+K).​

EDIT: Just checked some common strings.

Kasumi's PPP... string starts at 9 frames, the last hit is -7 on block. All high hits. Her KK, is -11 to -14 and her 9KK is -15 on block. Her 3K is -14, 1KK is -30 on whiff, and her flip kick 7K is -30 on block.

I'm not gonna say it doesn't happen, but it hasn't happened to me... YET. Then again I live in southern california in a huge population pocket. Marginal, how populated is the area where you live?

I think there might be a grizzly bear family near marginal and maybe a couple raccoons.

What, isn't everywhere in Colorado like that?
