DOA3.1/2 owns BR hands down.
Lol shows how ignorant you are about DOA.
It’s called “throw,” iirc.
Throws can be broken.
Making too many Bloody Roar threads = lose
Bumping an old Bloofy thread = instant lose :tdown:
Ummm only stand throws, and the only two characters that used stand throws were Lei and Hayate (who preferably would use his superlauncher).
So ummm, YOU STILL FAIL. Obviously you only played DoA2U and DoA4, cause you know nothing about DoA3/3.1/3.2 or you wouldn’t be spouting bullshit. Even the EVO champ came in and schooled you. Now go in the corner and play random Busa’s in the public rooms on LIVE newb.
Even if that were the case, all you would have to do is space out your attacks and vary the height here or there. Too bad it isn’t, and throwing is still a very viable option in that case.
Excuses, excuses…
Or say, counter attacking a counter? You know, attempted low counter, do a mid launch instead…I mean, you are in critical status if you try a hold.
If you’re going to attack somebody when they counter, or use a launcher (pretty much all of which have enough windup to allow the countering person to counter out of the recovery), then they can just keep. On. Countering. Until. They. Get. It. And in DOA3, most of the time, the eventual counter does more damage than the sum of little quick attacks. And throwing still isn’t all that viable, as they can still be broken. Which really isn’t even difficult. Granted, DOA3.1 might not suck, but we’re not talking about that. DOA3 sucked.
1)…what?
2) Get with the times. Brad and the lady ninjas are where the newbs are at.
^It’s not “…what?”, it’s “Oh shi-Perfect Legend just showed up outta nowhere and owned me!”
Read five posts back. You might learn something.
Also there’s this amazing thing called mixup. Try it sometime.
I’m not even debating whether or not the game is viable (I’m not a huge fan), but “I can’t get around X strategy” is a pretty lame excuse, especially when the options available to you are plentiful. Those counters stay open FOREVER, and you can generally tell which are which, or even bait certain certain counters.
What the hell are you talking about… I will be the first to say doa sucks(opinion) But you apperently dont know shit about the game to even begin trashing it. <_<
the majority of the people here dont know what the fuck their talking about.
why are people still posting here 
doa 4 is balanced and is its own type that prefers addictive and flexible psychological depth
think- is tekken like virtua fighter?
stupid stupid stupid
and now ur gonna reply with long winded nonesense that proves nothing except “im too stupid 2 understand how to play dat”
Doa3 was an easy counter spam…the frame for counter was way more…so you could be off but still counter cause of the long frames involved…so you could basically spam medium counter and probably get in a counter doing so…with DOA ultimate and Doa4 you cant spam like that and just think you gonna get a counter in cause the frames are less
Actually, the frames are still pretty much the same. If there are less frames, it’s not all that noticable. The only difference is that medium kick counters are now different from medium punch counters (foward + hold). In other words, it’s not that counter timing is tighter, it’s that you have to use the right counter instead of just using back + hold for anything mid.
No, frame’s for counters are still exactly the same…they were much shorter in the X05 version though, 11frames I think.
They’re just as spammable in DOA4 and DOAU as they are in DOA3. Hell they’re more spammable in DOA4 thanks to that stupid thing where if you time your counter right, you can block after it and not get punished-.-
I am pretty positive i know more than you do <_<
Um… This post alones shows that you dont know that much of what your talking about. Sorry to say -__-
The counter windows were all exactly the same in the doa games. They may SEEM shorter due to the animation changes but i assure you the window to counter is all the same in all the doa games(knows from frame data) In all doa games you can spam counter but that isnt the core of the game. You have the ability to mix up to bait counters and shit. Its like saying that you can spam parry in 3s or you can spam just defend on garou MOTW. Even if someone keeps doing those same things, You have to learn around it.
You have no clue at all what you are talking about. Please stop typing before a little fairy comes and cut your hands off for using your hands to talk out of your ass.
it seemed like doa3 was easier to counter at least…unless the people i played sucked!!!
Back to subject…DOA i prefer over Bloody Roar…BR3 and 4 i didnt like too much…although BR2 was pretty damn cool…shen long was a beast!!!
Omg, the ignorance… too much. Let me set something straight:
DoA hold data
High/Mid
0/22/8
Low (I think, may not be PRECISELY the right frames but to get the idea))
0/22/5
This is how it has been since DOA2 ARCADE, please, everyone spouting non sense STFU.
DoA2 holds were 4 way double direction (arcade, ultimate was trash) but the down side was they did up to fucking 33% damage or more. Insanely retarded
DoA3 had 3 way with 45-65 dmg holds. A universal mid hold kind of sucked but it actually worked in that game. Cause unlike a certain idiot in this thread command throws were 6/7 frames and UNBREAKABLE. If you were playing Gen Fu, Bass, Hayate and some was spamming mid hold you could take 100-150 dmg. Needless to say nobody except maybe Busa spammed holds in Doa3.
DoA4 holds were 4 way single direction and had variable dmg. From a stun they did DoA3 dmg, out of stun they did the same damage as DoA2 (which still sucks imo). Despite Itagaki promising lower window holds, the fucking dueschbag still gave us the same holds with 0 exe, 22 frame windows, and almost unnoticable recovery.
And command throws HAVE ALWAYS been unbreakable in DoA, spiddly-whoever-the-fuck needs to go back to school and read up more. The only difference in throws in DoA is that they were 6/7 frames originally, and in Doa4 they spread it out to 7/10/12 frame throws. (grapplers got 6/8/10/12 but they still suck dick so nobody cares).
