Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

[Reave]

Quick question - how hard is the overall execution in DoA 5? Are there a lot of tight links? Are combos "chained"? Is there a nice comfy buffering system like in soul calibur?


Is it reasonable for a decent fighting game player to sit down and perform a "tournament-level" combo in one training session?

Outside of a few throws/holds from a few characters everything in DOA is relatively easy. I can't speak for the VF guests as I don't play any of them. I know Sarah has a just frame and I think Akira does too.

The buffering system isn't as lenient as it used to be but shouldn't pose any problems after a hour of practice.

"tournament-level" combos are very easy as well. Assuming you figure out how to use the stun system properly in one training session.

I've never played a DoA game, but the F2P thing is enough that I'll give it a go. Not much of a community for it (or for anything besides marvel vs crapcom) out where I live, though.

Curious, where do you live?

Cool. Thanks!


I'm a poor, broke-ass nig-nog until I graduate, but I'll check out the demo/F2P when it comes out.

If I interpret the news correctly it means that DLC i bought will be carried over to the new version? This is good news, since I actually paid for a few of the overpriced costume packs. A fool and his money and all that, but I really didn't want to have that money wasted if I decided to get the new version.
The free to play is interesting, hopefully they'll do it worldwide and for Xbox also, it might bring in more players. I just hope they also overhaul the netcode, it could do with some improvement.

Good to see that NG costume for Ayane appear. Also lol at the Team Ayane and Team Momiji. I like the team spirit thing ^^;
