So if this is anything to go by, apparently Last Round is getting a PC release http://www.dsogaming.com/news/online-retailer-play-asia-lists-dead-or-alive-5-last-round-for-the-pc/
At least, I hope it’s true. I’m not the biggest DOA fan, but it would be nice to have on PC.
Modders are gonna have a ballin’ time with it.
We have some interesting stuff from this week in relation to DOA5LR.
Also. There is this:
Whoever this character seem to be… cybernetically modified. A lot of people from FSD is stating that it could be certain boss character whom was present during the first DOA (El Raidou, who has reputation for being some hopelessly immoral and ruthless tough guy… and for being Ayane’s biological father). But, there is also a likely chance it could also be Genra(Omega) which would not be completely unreasonable at this point, especially with how DOA Dimensions played out in retrospect. This along with a possible PC release of DOA5LR mentioned from the post above. The articles are pretty good reads, elaborating on subjects related to character balancing, audience appeal and possibly some extra modes being available on DOA5LR. I also like how Alpha 152 is described… the series’ residential “Glass Cannon” and a scrub killer of a sort, among other subjects in relation to the articles.
Last… we have the usual: DOA5U / LR matches! Please enjoy.

There’s a lot of great information and questions in those two articles. I feel it’s the most honest and informative interview I’ve read in relation to Fighting Games.
oooh that doa5 on PC tho
I really like Shimbori-san’s comments about sticking to his guns in balancing and having interesting fighting styles facing off against each other. It seems as if he understanding of the meta-balance that helps make these games interesting.
Here is something else:
EDIT: Link correction.
Just a heads up. It’s only a blog post that is laughing at the idea of a “Cyborg” Raidou being one of the new characters in DOA5LR. Cyborg Raidou is currently the biggest rumored character as the “returning” new character.
Get a load of these!
You mean the guys actually get a costume AND not every girl is showing cleavage?
I’m liking the versatility of these outfits, more of this please.
I was very impressed watching some DOA5U footage and thought to myself “man, this looks way more fun than Tekken”. Should I feel bad for it?
Is there a online scene of this game in XBL? I’m eager to try it.
Yes, there is an online scene for it. However, I’d warn you that the online netcode isn’t as good as SCV or TTT2. So much so that the way you are allowed to play online is not indicative on how you can play offline. If you’re looking to get started with the series then it certainly is a valid option for you though. What was it that made you feel it’s way more fun than Tekken? Are you interested more in competitive play or casually playing?
It looks raidou is coming back as a cyborg
Free Step Dodge’s official 5U tier list is up.
Data is based on community contributions to a google doc that I helped design.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AroRJ5Plub7-dE9tTmVJWGMxMHRRZ29uWk5aSC0xa2c&usp=sharing#gid=0
To be fair, it’s always been up, and it’s still a WIP.
On a related note, I need to learn your formula for determining tier divisions.
Right now? the standard deviation of all of the data points is 12. So I had it set to 12 points separating the tiers. 0-11 for B tier, etc.
For example,
Event Hubs tier list (which is an accurate culmination of players from all skill levels using various different experiences to aggregate) currently has an SD of 14. This being applied to their list would be the following:
A - Gen Fu (+25.1), Ayane (+24.1), Christie (+21.2), Sarah (+19.1), Kasumi (+17), Helena (+14.5)
B - Leifang (+11.3), Pai (+7), Jacky (+6.8), Jann Lee (+5.3), Momiji (+5.1), Rig (+4.7), Hayate (+4.5), Tina (+2.9), Hitomi (+2.7), Alpha 152 (+2.6), Mila (+2.6), Hayabusa (+2.3)
C - Phase 4 (-3.0), Akira (-3.6), Zack (-5.1), Lisa (-5.4), Marie Rose (-7.2), Rachel (-11.8), Kokoro (-13.2), Brad (-13.8)
D - Bass (-14.1), Nyotengu (-14.2), Bayman (-14.9), Leon (-16.0), Ein (-18)
E - Eliot (-38.4)
In the end it’s typically subjective on how the characters are sorted in tiers. I did a lot of research looking into how match up tiers were reported and couldn’t find a consistent reasoning for division besides just what looked like “Yeah this is where the line would be divided”. So I opted for a more scientific method by finding the standard deviation amount from the data and then using that number to divide the groups.
Also, the FSD tier list chart has already had some match-ups altered, so of course some of the characters have been adjusted in the tier list. But the FSD tier list only has 1/3rd of the character roster submitted and discussed by some of the top competitive players in the community. Another 1/3rd are still waiting to be submitted and then discussed when conflicts arise from other submissions. And the last 1/3rd either don’t have a competitive player representative of them or will just fall in line based on the submissions of the other 2/3rds.
Raidou trailer is up
Oh sweet! Didn’t think they had a DOA5 Ultimate thread! Nice!!!
Can we also share gameplay here?
