Will you be buying DOA5U?

[LostSkeleton73]

Most definitely, yes. The added combo training, extra characters make it a must buy for me.
Just hope they've fine-tuned the match points system for online rankings. It might not matter to a lot of you, but it's real to me dammit!

Combo training? You mean the combos you can figure out in two minutes?

As someone who uses only 1 character, I find the "tool" useful for me to find out what works for a back-up character in tag. As an older guy who relies on using a controller instead of a stick, this cuts down on the amount of time I would have to spend hunting down combos online that work for my ever-slowing reflexes.
I appreciate your input though, young whippersnapper.

Some of the combos are rather difficult(especially the new ones added in ultimate). It's also helpful to new players in understanding the combo mechanics in the game(stun and cb set ups) and some good bnb set ups. Lower your nose a bit.

I gotta say, asides from online.. Combo/command training will be two of my most used mode in 5U

I use a controller too dude and I don't ride the web for combos in DOA. I also kind of sort of play one character as well. Btw, i been using pad since I was in the 8th grade playing fighters.

What are hard combos in DOA? There isn't any. I could do BNBs with all the cast and I'm a Zack main. Combos in DOA aren't rocket science. Combo training and trial modes in general are very bad in my opinion since combos in those modes are just for show and don't really teach you anything. For example the trial mode in UMVC3 for Phoenix Wright doesn't have a turnabout mode combo in it so a new player getting into that game wanting to try PW won't know that mode exists. These are modes are pointless fillers. You learn more about just going over the movelist yourself.

Combos in DoA5+ combo training were extremely useful, and I get to learn stuff about characters I'll never use.

Pointless for you, awesome for me.

As a fellow older guy, I suggest you save yourself some stress and just ignore MasterHavik.

This is relative to the player and character familiarity.

Combos where you only have a few frames to land them. Like super launcher combos, range specific set ups, just frames, etc. . .

The mission mode in UMVC3 shows a few basic combos and specials, it's not much of a trial mode. But the ones I played in plus where much more comprehensive and helpful and it's being expanded in Ultimate to show the new combo properties added(many were added fyi). Which is going to be incredibly helpful to even top level players here.

Naw, the dude is entitled to his opinion, and it takes a lot more than a question to get me stressed.
I nearly forgot though, Jacky being in the game is a bonus too, was one of the regular characters I'd use in VF. Will be good to see how well he meshes with Mr. Strong.

jacky will blend good with just about anyone since he has many different combos to work with. his simplicity will be everyones demise.

DOA5 Ultimate is looking to come for VF5FS's Neck(in a good way lol). All the robust tutorials, game modes, new stages, new characters, revamped characters, new system mechanics(character specifics mechanics/techniques). Truthfully, all of these elements traditionally = a new Numbered Title. DOA6 has a lot to live up too now.

 

[MaxwellMouse]

I will if it is good. If not I will get more into TTT2.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Im hoping the new DoA5U will encourage some Aussie players to show up.
As it is, DoA5 is completely dead here

There's quite a few Australian players actually, some of them are here on FSD

 

[MaxwellMouse]

There is a small FGC scene where I live. Sadly no one plays DOA who is part of it. I will try to convert a couple when DOA5U comes out. Having someone to play with would keep me into the game much longer I bet.

 

[akhi216]

I just dusted off the Vita to play Dead or Alive 5+ and realized how much I like the series, I will be picking it up day one for sure.

The combo training is actually what I am looking forward to the most to be honest. I know plenty of combos for my characters, but this mode seems like something that could really help you. I'm really interest to see what they've come up with for each individual. I can't wait to try each character out.

 

[Dravidian]

Dunno if I'll pick this up. Probably not right away....
I'll get the "free" version and maybe later just DL the 3 characters I use most; Helena, Hitomi, and Tina. I might pickup EIN as well since I played him a lot in 2 or perhaps Eliot.

I need to see how the new systems work first hand before I invest more money into an update. I'll Just be playing as Kasumi and Ayane with a side of Hayate until further notice. If I'm happy after about 2 months or so, I'll pick it up.
