Nice read. Thanks for sharing the link. I'm glad to have confirmation on the online training (all I read was speculation before). And story mode seems interesting.

I wish she asked them about stage DLC but it was a cool interview.

Sucks that Kasumi loses her juggle after her low kick counter if done on the vents. They should let you get the juggle after they fall through.

Yohei Shimbori : There weren’t many opportunities to gather the DOA Japanese players together.
The only opportunity we had in the past to make a World tournament with Japanese, American, and European players, was World Cyber Games. Besides that, there wasn’t a possibility to make a head-to-head match between Japanese and American players. We really would like the Japanese to meet the US champions like Master and Vanessa, so we want to create a place where they can all meet up and face each other.
To compare them, Japanese players are more focused on details, and they will practice again and again until they perfect it. So the attention to detail and repetition are their strength. They think a lot when they’re playing. It would be great to see the Japanese players against the rest of the world.
-I found that to be quite interesting, only because I have witnessed myself Advanced players studying the game and breaking down strats to the finer details of the game. Practising to get perfect...I think the major difference between both groups, is that Americans want to be rewarded more for the effort they put in, and think more during the neutral game, but not wanting to so much everywhere else(during hit confirms and the like).

Who is that girl and why is she having close matches with a game designer? Most players in games are able to beat the makers of it with ease.She had arcade stick too and man was using 360 controller , which is what people call awful for fighting games.

She is a top SCV player, and I'm sure she was just sandbagging. It's kind of obvious throughout the video since she isn't really playing aggressively except for a few rounds. Also, she hasn't really had much time to play the new build whereas the director is probably thinking about it/playing it everyday.

I don't know, I mean Shimbori was kinda kicking her ass in the beginning. I'm not saying she's bad, I'm simply saying she doesn't play this game anywhere near as much as SCV, so she was probably warming up :/

But you can see the way she plays at the beginning and then aggressive on the other rounds. She probably had some practice before playing and she gave a change for Shimbori to land hits and making things look on par. This stuff happens when doing some promotions overall so its no surprise the way the matches went.

From what I know of Kayane, she was mostly a Kasumi/Ayane main. She played in the first IPL tourney at E3 with Kasumi and made 5th or something. I guess she wasn't used to Kokoro. I don't know, just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure she was sandbagging mostly, though. It's actually pretty obvious.

I like how Kasumi's backflip allows some distance after applying some pressure.

Pad vs Stick is a complete preference. Just because someone uses a stick doesn't make them instantly better. I personally cant stand using a pad for VF because I'm so used to using an arcade stick with that game since I only played VF5FS in the arcades. DoA on the other hand I never used a stick for and cant play it on a stick and prefer playing it on a pad.

God I hope that Leifangs dress colors dont take up costume slots... But, they will. Cool interview though. Fell in love with Kayane after E3. She is too cool.

They do take up slots unfortunately, there's Red, Blue, and White versions of the dress from what I heard. She also has her Black sexy dress, that new casual outfit, her circus outfit, her white bunny swimsuit and her CE swimsuit. Assuming you got everything that's 8 costumes. Hopefully, we'll get some more costumes for everyone through DLC and maybe more stages(I hope sooo much for this one)

They take up costume slots so that if you want the blue color, your opponent can have the red color. If they were the same slot the game wouldn't allow you both to select the same slot.

This is great! Kayane was my favorite player in SCV and I even got the game after I saw several of her matches. It's gonna be really cool to have her in DOA5. I hope she comes to FSD and posts here.

Yeah Kayane was awesome at the last ipl event. She was probably one of the best Kasumi players, well her and Swoozie. She did a good job at showing Kasumi off and she actually used the critical burst well.
