Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Story mode teaches you how to play the game with their challenges.

Story mode goes over the different elements of DOA5's gameplay but I didn't really learn anything with relation to how to play the game properly. It's probably not helped by the CPU not really providing a challenge until the last few chapters. For instance, if you go from playing and completing Story Mode to playing online, you likely still won't know what you're doing and are likely to just throw stuff out frantically or play overly cautiously.

Training mode only helps if you already have an idea how the game is supposed to work and understand frame data. On the other hand, training mode is fantastic for advanced players though with its move details and many customizable options.

Well its good enough, most games even outside of fighting games let their players acquire their skill on experience alone. Hard core players are a strong minority as most players would just want to kick the ass of the person beside them or online in the way they sit fit. Tekken and SC5 just give you the basic combos and tells you to get on with it, I'm pretty sure SC5 doesn't even mention GI/JG once.

Considering that the FGC is now being filled with people that have years upon years of experience (some even 10+ years!), it's becoming more and more intimidating for a newcomer to take up a fighting game such as SCV or DOA5 and it's also becoming more and more necessary for the developer to produce adequate training tutorials for newcomers. These people are at a multiple-year experience disadvantage. They need to be brought up to speed or they'll get discouraged. I cannot tell you how many times in SCV I've seen someone with a 90%+ offline win rate and a 10% online win rate.

For instance, SCV or DOA5 can include info with relation to sites such as 8WayRun or FreeStepDodge that can either reference them or make the gamers aware of them. With relation to SCV, the anemic instruction manual does mention GI & JG in terms of how to simply perform one.

I thought broken destiny really had a good tutorial in the campaign mode.
