I don’t get mad. I get sad.
This is my face at the thought of having the Breakers room taken away by Marvel players.
They broke my heart when they took away KOF. Not Breakers too!
Catching up on UNiB, I find myself asking who exactly let French Bread do their own character design.
And then I see Merkava and his wacky wavy arm super and decide it’s hilarious, even if half the cast is painfully generic.
I finally have a day off Wednesday, that means I’m cleaning everything and going to EGS
Who will want to play SF and MvC Origins with me?

My boy Rikuto crushing nearly every top player in the world. He’s also here in Rochester and also my training buddy. Any of you that are DoA players, you now have no good reason to avoid sessioning with us. Let’s go. Probably going to be at Absolute Battle/DoA in Dallas in November and definitely at NEC in December for DoA goodness, so the more practice everyone gets, the better.
That pretty cool. Congratulations to him. How many of you guys are playing this game? I haven’t picked it up because I already bought some games recently and need to budget my money, but I might eventually pick it up later. I do own the older ones but it’s been a lifetime since I last played a DOA game.
Been playing some TTT2, but not a lot and haven’t touched P4A in a while. Kind of sucks because it’s going to be the time of year where when I get out of work, all the daylight is gone and gives me the feeling of doing nothing except doing something like sit down and read trades or something where I don’t need to think (Surprisingly playing Tetris falls into this category).
My copy of DOA5 should arrive here today, I’ll be bringing it to EGS tonight. Are you a fighter?
Imma hit u up Cyber , imma be posting my impressions of the game alittle later
Dead Or Alive 5 Impression
OK, got in a whole day of Dead or Alive 5 , and so here are my impressions.
If you have played Dead or Alive in the past, this version of the game is easily the best in just about all categories. The sound track falls short of the far superior sound track of Dead or Alive 2. Graphics are superb , framerate is smooth, though i have heard people complain about slowdown, I have not experienced any myself. The game pace is fast and very responsive. I know some people just like scores , so i’ll put one here for categories i think matter.
Graphcs : 9/10 Music : 7/10 Gameplay Modes : 8/10 - Nothing special here , though being able to play solo or tag for pretty much all modes is fun. Story mode has its moments, but its generally pretty stupid lol. Practice : 10/10 - Frame Data! oh we in there! Online : 8?/10 - I leave the question mark because i haven’t gone in depth yet, the match making went pretty fast and the games i played were smooth, but i’ll need more time to be certain Controls : ?/10 - I dont feel comfortable giving this a score, but they are very responsive, side stepping has never been so much fun.
But Dan, I have never played Dead or Alive before , what kind of game is it like? The best answer to this question is, Dead or Alive is the cousin of Virtua Figher. The controls and combo system are very similar. One Punch Button, One Kick Button, A Guard Button, and a Button for throws, but its just a shortcut because throw is P+G just like in virtual fighter. The essence of the game play revolved around this triangle system between Strikes, Grabs, and Holds (Almost Known as Counters. Strikes Beat Throws, Trows Beat Counters, and Counters Beat Strikes. To those who have played DoA in the pass, and are worried about the counter system being too easy/scrubby. The Counter system is 4 ways. One Counter is for High attacks, another for Lows , one for mid kicks, and one for mid punches. So you have to work a bit harder to read your opponent this time around, Counters also seem to do less damage overall, so just mashing counter wrecklessly will likely get you in trouble. Especially since, with the addition of two new game mechanics, the critical burst and power blows. Critical Burst is an attack, that is landed at the appropriate time will put the opponent into a state that they are unable to do anything, its basically the ultimate of punishes. In DoA, when you inflict enough damage on a grounded opponent, lets says a 3 or 4 hit combo, they get put into a critical stun state. In this state the only option they can do is counter. This is where in the pass randomly spamming counter might save them. If they counter you incorrectly and you land a few more hits, you put them into a RED critical state, at which point you can hit them with your critical burst and put them into that punishable state. It leads to big damage, including being able to combo into a power blow, which puts you at the mercy of a cinematic pwnage by the environment.
The Virtua Fighers characters are a fun addition, i dont play with any of those characters in particular, so i can’t say how well they translate everything. Gary messed around with Sarah and Akira, so maybe he can elaborate on how that felt.
Anyway, after 1 day, im feeling this game and im hype about it, and i hope you guys join me in said hype!
I’ll answer any questions ppl have about it, and ill be bringing it with me to Egs tonight
Great write up Dan! (Needs moar bewbs but thats just me~)
I’ll definitely give it a try tonight
