Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Where are there any combos listed? I found a few in an anemic thread in Ayane's SA on FSD, but I know there's gotta be more. There are none on Youtube (I didn't see any anyway).

That's exactly my problem too. Screw these online mashers. Here I am trying to play intelligently and they're just smashing out buttons and beating me every time.

I gotta agree with this. I'm constantly like "Nice string, and now I punish!" *elbow to the face*

*Punch Punch! Whiff!* "And now I --" *Elbow to the face*

*Another blocked string* "Oh ho, my friend, you got too greedy! And now I --" *Elbow to the face*

I was starting to think it's just because *Elbow to the FACE*
 
Although some people do genuinely mash at every chance you get, the online netcode does throw off timings of both punishment and strings. I've noticed that my best matches online have been against either people I know (I usually register them in my "Fighter List") or against people that I have faced about 10+ times consecutively.

I'm not a huge fan of random matches but the "Throwdown" option can be great for getting online practise against certain people. I love how some people are open to like 10 or 20 straight matches. The more you play against a character the more you can get used to their strings and then find opportunities to counter attack or even punish. Mr. Wah is right though, this game is definitely about 70-80% mental instead of just pure fundamentals. Even against mashers, the main reason I lose is because I didn't correctly anticipate the string that the opponent was going to use.

With that said, the online is painful at the moment and I could really go for that patch now.
