Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Just got back from what would have been my first DoA5 tourney. Not enough people entered and they cancelled it. I'll only play the game casually (as in not study or 'force' myself to get better) but it was pretty sad hearing how many people don't even want to give the game a chance because it's DoA. You can cater to the competitive community but that doesn't mean they'll appreciate it.
 
The game isn't really balanced well enough to be competitive LP, seriously... its like fight night round 3, 1hit KO's and crap.

Well... The current competitive, tournament community is... saturated with their own games. Right? You really can't pull them away from what they're already playing.

You need casuals and new players to come to tournaments... but I mean, there's no support structure. Forums like these aren't given shoutouts in the game. Frame data is buried in a menu and isn't explained or mentioned. There isn't even a fully comprehensive tutorial to get players into a competitive mindset much less get them into the real world.

There is Ranked online though. you can't see the face I'm making since it's the internet. it's a disgusted one




I have to wonder if any game out there gives hints about the offline scene. I lived in Vegas for 4 years and I didn't even know EVO existed. That isn't right.
 
One because you were probably a shut in and didn't look at the many conventions, thinking it was only for tourists. And story mode is a tutorial... AND the option screen literally shows you WHAT ATTACKS ENEMIES ARE DOING WHILE THEY DO THEM and the frame data and everything... its actually a lot better than SCV...
