This game is looking so amazing already.
I really hope Helena is included as well.
I expect most of the gang (Bass, Tina, Jann Lee, whatev). I don’t think any DoA game has done away with any characters (Leon replaced Bayman in 2 but then Bayman returned in 2: Hardcore and has been here ever since).
…
Man I know a lot about DoA even though I only ever played 2 (and that was super-casual when I was a kid on the Dreamcast; I remember using Ein (guess he goes by ‘Hayate’ now) a lot).

Sigh.
To be honest, Ayane wearing pants and Kasumi’s sash being too modest is just sucking the fun out of this…
There’s at least some nice cleavage shots of Kasumi if that’s your thing.
So I saw they’ve got a double tap quick step looking mechanic listed on some of the control lists. Has anyone been able to confirm if it’s actually gonna… you know, STEP SHIT? Because I mean, that’d be a pretty nice start.
No, no one has been able to confirm it yet. One random press guy said that it seemed difficult because a lot of attacks being used on him were half-circular.
It should be implemented into the Alpha Demo coming out with Ninja Gaiden 3, but sadly that system isn’t the same as what it currently is in the Akira trailer. The Akira trailer confirms they’ve changed the wall game from the Alpha build.
man i just want to see what akira does at the end of that last trailer
Excellent. I’m really in the mood to make a “Fighting Games of 2012” trailer but I feel like I need more DoA5 footage before I try.
What I find really silly, is that with SC and DoA, people have always bashed the game for their T&A and nothing else; then, when the T&A is toned down, it feels like the same people are complaining saying they want it back…
You’re talking to the wrong guy on that one.
I asked another forum what color Viola’s underwear prior to SC5’s release was because I felt like the screenshots weren’t helping.
I make no apologies for where my eyes drift.
Hitomi and Ayane show off in new Dead or Alive 5 trailer
At 0:50 it shows Hitomi perform the sidestep dash (22) against Ayane’s kick. Looks almost like a crouch dash or VF’s quickstep (2G+P+K).
I notice those cut scenes tend to kick in at the end of every round, is this something that happens with every KO?
It’s an attack that can be performed at any point in the match, typically they have just been showing it near the end of every round for cinematic effect.
However, a character can survive the “cut scenes” (called Power Blows) if they have enough life.
Did they add meter to the game or are they activated in a different manner?
There isn’t any meters involved (and supposedly the Power Blows are very unsafe if you just throw them out there). I think Rikuto explained it earlier but I forget if it was in this thread or in the VF5:FS thread.
Thanks for the feedback, from a competitive standpoint DoA is my original love so I’m very intrigued by the recent developments. Look forward to getting my hands no that demo!
If you’d like to know more about the Power Blows I’d suggest you read up on the News and Dead or Alive 5 boards over at http://www.freestepdodge.com
