Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

well Helena isn't really the skinny-small. she's definitely got some meat on her. not to mention that she's practically the tallest female. according to the list Helena is the heaviest female and even has her own weight class.

Christie, Sarah, Tina and Lisa are all taller than Helena. Tina's boobs alone should catapult her to Super heavyweight.

or maybe her?

these two definitely come to my head in purple haired badasses

Or maybe her? O_o?

So I'm learning Brad, but I have a major problem; too many of his moves are unlisted! I literally can't figured out how to go into hand stand from lay down stance. Not to mention I can't find his lengthier 46P strings

I think all that stuff is listed in his Special Section but just in case.

1K8, 1KK8
1P8, 1PP8, BT 1P8
BT 6K~6~K8
[Laying down head facing opponent] K8

I think that's all the moves that transition into handstand stance.

here's a relist of the weight classes for those who missed it. Posted by Mr. Wah:

• Feather - Eliot, Hitomi, Kokoro, Mila, Sarah

• Light - ALPHA-152, Ayane, Kasumi

• Welter - Leifang, Pai

• Middle - Akira, Brad Wong, Christie, Hayate, Hayabusa, Jann Lee, Lisa, Rig, Tina, Zack

• Cruiser - Helena

• Heavy - Gen Fu

• Super Heavy - Bass, Bayman

wait. Kasumi and ayane are in the same class. (super derp on my part.) still don't know how those 5 feather weights are heavier than some other. especially considering how tall Sarah is. she's the same height if not taller than Helena. and Sarah has more muscle than helena. hmmm

As mentioned earlier, aesthetics are most likely only a part of the reason for the weights. It's also a defensive mechanic as well.

For example, Mila and Sarah were considered top tier during development, making them lighter means that other characters have more leeway to deal guaranteed damage against them. Off course, this doesn't always work out for the best. Helena was considered weak during development so making her heavy may have made sense back then... this was off course before people discovered her force tech game.

I really can't make up my damn mind... I'm now playing Lisa... I really like the pseudo-grapplers of this game.
