Quite funny considering most of the people arguing in Alpha's defense have never played offline, or probably will never bother to. I'd restrict this decision to those who've already played in offline tournaments
Presumptuous comments do not merit my attention. I just got back to hustling so that should tell you I'm interested.

This might be a bit off-topic, but I'll try not to derail the thread too much... Will DoA5 vanilla still be used at tournaments as well as DoA5U?
After reading this thread to its completion, I can see where both sides are coming from. However, I must say that it is impractical to ban Alpha based on the "theoretical" view that she is Broken/Pseudo-Broken. Throughout history, a character, technique, move etc had to be proven(through competitive play) without a doubt of said brokenness. This have yet to be proven as being the case.
To all of the people who have DOA5U already, Eman, SR, PL, NykNyks etc. Please advise to everyone of Alpha's changes so there's no more bickering of "no one will know what she's like etc". Thanks.I do know from PL's stream TODAY. That 33T got buffed. Used to be 60 raw dmg. Now it's 75.
Good edit.
Something worthy to mention:
66T remains (I believe) the fastest OH in the game going from 10 frames... to 7! XD
At this point... I am now becoming worried.

Current Buffs:
33T 15 point damage increase
66T is a 7 frame OH, but maybe no float cancel
B.U.R.S.T not nerfed
Current (possible) Nerfs:
That parry has been slowed down. It's so slow that it can be blocked a mile away with no guard breaker.
I still want to wait to see if these buffs also mean nerfs, but so far everything else is the same, but this is a complete execution on Team Ninja's part, and I am pissed about it.

Never mind. I was high when I watched this video. It was her regular p string guard break. Sorry. The 7 frame OH remains though.

Um, hi? I've been like super chill this whole discussion? Um, like, just because you're frustrated with some people on the forum for picking apart a character you're attached to? It, like, doesn't mean you have to super rudely attack me lol or like, um, take a super condescending tone lol? Or like tell me to chill? Because I wasn't yelling. Thanks, hon.
For future reference, just because you put in "lol" and "chill" along with other textual filters doesn't make what you're saying less hostile or less condescending.
Now, if you'll kindly direct yourself to my post you will notice I said "at first glance." I wasn't acting like "they would take her grabs away lol no". I was simply saying "at first glance" she's pretty much the same as DOA5. However, again, I haven't had much time with 5U as I have schoolwork - I was gonna try to discuss what SPECIFIC changes they made to alpha (frames, damage, etc) but f**** this! Now I don't really wanna share. Read my post before you go ape-shit on someone who takes time to post in a forum with random crazy people ranting about a fictional character in a video game. You sincerely remind me of why I don't go to online forums very often. Take like 11 seconds before you post and think about what you're about to say so I don't have to read through a barrage of "lol" and all-caps. Thanks.

This isn't about liking or disliking a character.

In all honesty, I don't think Alpha deserves the ban hammer just cause of a few irritating things that she had in DOA5. This is practically the same situation that FRANCE had with Viola [Soul Calibur V] Apparently she was broken and impossible to fight against. (Which was bull...considering the fact that I could shut her down any day of the week)
But...that aside, its no reason to completely BAN her before the release of 5U maybe just cause you probably dont want to see her in action during TFC? (yes, shots have been fired)
I will agree on her being nerfed to a certain degree...
But literally you guys are complaining about strings you could study and hold before things get out of hand.
Complaining about a grab (understandable... I can agree that needs to be nerfed. But... Seriously. If you get Hi.Counter grabbed once shouldn't that be a sign to oh... I dont know. maybe not hold at all? But really... it's an i20 and you'd need to be psychic to pull it off 100% of the time.)
This issue is pretty pathetic. I've dealt with worse.
(That's just my take on it. I'm not here to cause a Storm.)
