IGN Pro League said:On the bright side, Helena does have frame advantage that wasn’t present in DOA4. Anytime she uses her 3-in-1 attack that sees her arms sweeping downward as she transitions into BKO, she’s left at a small advantage. This is going to be one of Helena’s main tools in DOA5 because it’s one of the few attacks that actually leaves her at an advantage when it’s blocked. Unfortunately, these attacks are relatively slow or come as the second or third attack in a combo string (which is almost always comprised exclusively of mid-punches). This creates an interesting mix-up game for Helena. Her goal is to basically trick an opponent into using a counter, then punishing them with a throw from her BKO stance. If they don’t counter, Helena ends up in BKO with slight advantage.
