Lei Fang is pretty easy to pick up
Gen Fu is intermediate
Zack is easy to pick up but very hard to master.
and I have no idea what's making you think that Christie is indeterminate
She's one of the hardest character's to get a hang of.

Care to elaborate on Christie? Her only real difficulty is the timing of her sway-steps on her strings.
As for Lei-Fang, as earlier stated, her real difficulty lies in her advanced holds which requires familiar knowledge of other characters, and good prediction skills. Some of her combos seem a little tricky.

Brad Expert? I guess lol. Maybe it's because I have played him for years.

5+ stances, 200 moves - many of them unlisted. He may be easy on the execution scale, but the difficulty with him lies in the implementation and memorization of his stuff.

Really? She's intermediate? I could swear that Hitomi is the easiest character to use in the game aside from maybe Mila or Jann Lee. She's a helluva lot easier to use than Ayane. Other than that interesting list!

Hitomi has a lot of strings that require a directional input mid-string and/or a button hold. The added complexity to her move set (as easy as it may be to pick up and play her), puts her in the intermediate tier along with Ayane. Mainly for reasons of timing.

I wouldnt say Eliot is easy to pick up, he has a tough time getting his offense going due to his limited mix ups. Really the only threatening low he has is 2P+H and that cant kick off his stun game due to its long recovery. He'll be fishing for counterhits, and extending his combos for max damage with crouching 3P can be difficult. He has a very simple plan of attack but weaknesses that make this plan difficult to initiate, which means you will have to work hard to compensate for his linearity.

Unless you wanna mash punches all day, he's great for that. But in overall easy of use terms he is only beginner friendly when being played at a low level.

He's easy - not because he can mash punches all day (he can) - he's easy because he really doesn't have any truly difficult inputs. Even his advanced holds are really easy to work with. He not be easy to win with, but I'm trying not to include that as a factor.


Basically, the list is supposed to be characters that are easy-to-use and implement moves based on perceptive difficulty. Characters like Jann Lee, Kasumi and Eliot don't have any difficult inputs (beyond a 46 or 236/214 input), and have no trouble using those moves in a live match and/or see great returns on them.

Characters that are more difficult tend to require a bit more memorization, and more intelligent use of certain moves. They may also have more difficult inputs, special stances or timings that may make them more difficult to use. Whereas Ayane may have a simple back-turned stance and strategy that relies and requires intelligent shifting between the two stances; Helena's back-turned stance combines Bokuho and shifting between her normal stance, back-turn and Bokuho. Execution-wise, Helena is easy, but manipulating between the three stances makes her more complex than Ayane. Hence she goes up a tier.

That said, my list is up for debate. I don't have that much knowledge of every character's nuances. I think Zack could probably go up a tier. Hayate's Wind stance really isn't that complex so he could probably go down a tier. And Kokoro seems a bit more complex in this game that might warrant her moving to intermediate.


VF characters. Way back, Sarah and Pai used to be listed as easy to learn characters, but I think that more recent VFs these two got a lot more complex that the moved from easy to intermediate. Meanwhile newer characters, like Jean Kujo, introduced into VF took their spots. Pai, Sarah and Akira are all iconic characters recognizable characters from as early as 1993/4, though, so they were included in DOA5.

Finally, every DoA character is easy to pick up and play. Mashing out PPPs or KKKs is something every character can do.
