Dead or Alive 5 - Known Bugs/Glitches

[DR2K]

While blocking? I didn't even know you could do that in DOA5. Now in Soul Cal V, yes you were able to backdash cancel into a block, and even SS cancel into a block. I don't recall that in DOA5.

In DOA5 you're blocking and backdashing and the animation is gltiched during.

 

[Raansu]

Not really. Most lightweights can do it and all the Virtual Fighter characters can do it. As a matter of fact, it is a main technique for the Virtual Fighter characters.

Only 5 characters can do it. It is a glitch.

 

[Jefffcore]

Technically everyone CAN do it, most just move uselessly slow.

 

[Musourenka]

If they're going to keep that warp backdash in, might as well give it to everyone.

Other than Mila and the Virtua Fighters, who's the fifth character that can warpdash?

 

[Raansu]

I believe it was Rig.

 

[Jefffcore]

If they're going to give it to everyone they might as well take it out. Completely ruins the ground game.

Everyone can do it.

 

[Raansu]

Everyone can do it.

No...

 

[HiguraShiki]

No...

Yes, they can. Bayman for example can actually BD cancel, it's just worse than say Mila's.

 

[Julius Rage]

Yes, they can. Bayman for example can actually BD cancel, it's just worse than say Mila's.

He might but its still a glitch

Thats a glitch, theres no way they intended for any character to be able to move backwards that quickly - as evidence by the fact that everyone can't do it. Theres a problem with the coding that allows that to happen and I'm going to bring it to Team Ninja's attention.

Seriously, if anyone pulls that on me during a tournament I'm going to yell "Glitch" at the top of my lungs and go back to the character select screen - its straight bullshit. Many characters have the ability to close and create distance with moves provided to them that are outlined in the manual by Dr. Dogg and the comman training mode - if it were a legitmate technique that they intended to be a part of the experience it would have been detailed somewhere offically.

Who the heck cares if BDC is a glitch. Y'all should be thinking "how do I use this to win" instead of "OMG TECMO PATCH THIS SHIT!" Anyone who complains about it is a scrub plain and simple. This is fighting games, something that UltraDavid once described as being "skill based dickery." You aren't playing for "honor" or "fairness," you are playing to win, plain and simple, even if that does mean having to be "cheap."

As for what the "developers intended," guess what, no competitive fighting game is ever played as the "developers intended." Fuck it, the way combos were developed in Street Fighter II was never something the developers intended. Thanks to this, fighting games have always been very, very emergent. It's the players who dictate how the game is played in the end. Even when stuff is patched, the FGC has more often than not just rejected the updated version when an unpopular change is made.

It shouldn't be in the game though. It's obviously a mistake with the 5 new characters back dash animations.

It's not broken or cheap yet, but it looks dumb and glitched. It's not a tool that any character needs or should need. This isn't the age of MVC2 where we just sit down and have to work around game breaking glitches or crippled character balance based on a multitide of broken exploits.

 

[Jefffcore]

The same argument can be made with untechables.

I'm simply going to assume that a) you don't understand the competitive mindset and that b) you've failed to notice all the stuff we've been breaking lately (unblockables in SSFIV, TAC infinites in UMvC3).

I understand it and notice it, but I disagree with some of it. You either make a tool like this universal or not at all.

 

[Jefffcore]

No one wants everything universal, thats just boring.

Something like this should be an all or nothing mechanic. If you want to break the movement system, do it for everyone.

 

[Jefffcore]

What's broken about it?

 

[DR2K]

What's broken about it?

Characters are warping across the screen. Safely. Why are they faster and safer than Ayane's built in backdash?

 

[Jefffcore]

That doesn't make it broken
