The Dead or Alive 4 Thread

I think it’s worth it for Ein if you aren’t doing a high damaging CH/HCH combo anyway. But it’s not unheard of, sacrificing damage in order to get the gauranteed knockdown for the follow-ups.

It depends how much of a sacrifice it is and how much of a reward and how safe the reward is.

Yeah…because I’m sure that’s EXACTLY what he meant.

Considering the context and the simple fact that he doesn’t speak English, it’s pretty obvious he meant that he wasn’t going to make Bass as fast as Jann Lee to make him easier to play.

“So what we’ve done is we’ve tried to create a character that, in the hands of an expert player, can really get the satisfaction of beating someone who is faster. Obviously you’d have to be really skilled to get the most out of Bass”

aka difficult to use and master is a way that could be interpreted.

But the plain fact that he does in fact suck compared to most of the characters isn’t helping out that case.

Ultra Win.
<3.

There’s something to be said about tact on this part of SRK, and the fact that if you’re too dense to understand why you’re being punished in the first place it tends to make me stop giving you the benefit of the doubt. =/

Hopefully he’ll be better when the ban is up.

oh man, okay guys, i gotta know, what’s this talk of Vanessa getting second to Master at WCG NY, was she still using Hitomi? and if this is true, why are people saying Hitomi’s so bad in terms of tiers when obviously that tourney would have had a LOT of good players?
also what’s this talk of that Storm / Offbeat Ninja 1500$ money match ( Marvel level hype! )

I always thought DOA was pretty cool since I played the first one on PSX. I gotta admit though the Aerosmith songs in the intro’s in the last couple games really piss me off.

Oh yeah, I came here to ask something. Is the official guide for this game any good? Worth picking up?

WCG US Open was actually an invitational with very few people invited. Quite defeats the purpose of being called an “open”.

The actual nationals will be sometime in August I believe.

Most of the information there was made 2 weeks before the game came out.

Just try the stuff on http://doa-plus.com - should help you out much more, and it’s free.

I seriously doubt Storm would show. He already owes money to people, Offbeat should know better. If for some reason Storm does show up, and they do play, I have a feeling Storm wouldn’t have the money anyways, or “had to spend it on [insert excuse here]”. That’s why you show the money up front anyways.

^better than nothing.

Slightly off topic from DoA4, I will be posting some old school doa++ footage soon as I get my camera set. This is a good thread xdest/pl. There is little solid information available for DoA in this forum.

Keep up the good work.

Hey EXM. . . .I think. . . .you need to finish that Leon vid. . . .wait you play VF now anyways. . . .

Huh, you mean that old beta vid I had on youtube when I used to care about the doa community? You should use some of footage and make your own, you’d probably do better, I can’t find all my old footage, I had some of some cool environmental bs you can do but whatever.

I still play DoA dude, just not DoA4.

I don’t have anyway to record. . . .sides I switched to using Bayman/Spartan as my mains with LEon in third. . . .could you send me what you got(if still saved) and maybe I can find some way to record some shit. . .and make a commando vid. . .then make a vid for 3.1 LEon. . .

That’s cool, EXM. 3.1 and ++ are also quite awesome.

Man, I’m getting ***** recklessly by scrubs and this never happened before back when I was playing about a year ago. The thing is I find a have an easier time with people who play semi decently. I can pretty much bait throws and 4k their ass or bait counters and land a high counter throw on them but the scrubs. They counter too randomly for me and it seems I can’t adjust to their style before the match ends. Any tips?

Practice your counters and read more. Or hang back and poke. Or throw when they leave themself open for it.

Newb stomping is a fine art, much like in all other fighting games.

Defense vs. Scrubs = a MUST.
