Admittedly it was a picture of Kasumi in a bikini in a Dreamcast magazine that got me to start playing, but DOA is pretty much my go to whenever I get in the mood to play a fighting game.

Yeah, behind all the horny advertising there is a pretty solid and entertaining fighting game.

Looking forward to playing the beta tonight, but I'm a little bummed there is no Gen-Fu.

Game looks really neat from what I've seen of it but considering how they released an "Ultimate" version of 5 a year after the initial release, it gives me pause.

Nice, I'm glad they're keeping this up. Having a free version of the game this early is a nice way to get more people in. I just hope the PC version isn't hosed.

Was the DOA 5 PC version bad? I only played it on console. I was kinda looking forward to playing this one on PC, but not if it's a poo poo port.

It didn't have some of the PS4/bone graphics enhancements and..some other stuff, I forget. KT ports are hit and miss but they've been better lately, DW9 aside, and they've said they're putting more effort into the PC version of 6 this time.

I remember something about the PC version being based on the Arcade version or last gen consoles but don't remember all the details. The new one is at least going to be built with PC in mind

PC version was a stripped down version, missing a ton of features the PS4/XB1 version had. The only way to fight a friend was through finding them in ranked matches

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

I will say this, I played about 80~ games or so and the only bad games I have had were against wifi users. Everything else very playable. Thank god the game lets you see wifi ahead of time, a 5 bar wifi connection can still be like a half second of delay where a 3 bar wired connection plays fine.

Can you hold the auto combos? I've never had any luck with it. Also, the animations and transitions seem rather buggy and abrupt, even compared to 5. They have some work ahead of them, that's for sure.

Mashing S(the auto combo) automatically induces fatal stun which means you can only break hold(the bar counter) out of it. Also I think if you manage to land the first hit as a counterhit, then it will backturn the foe meaning you can just go for a real combo that can't be held out of as well. All auto combos seem to hit high and are fairly slow startup though.

For single player there's the cinematic story mode, "DoA Quest" which is like a mission mode where you can earn money and costume parts(don't know full details), Combo challenges which is different from whatever DoA quest is, survival/time attack/arcade and the like.

As for the CPU no idea.

I've played a lot of games and had the game freeze while waiting for a new round to load

I had that happen a lot and it was usually because my opponent rage quitted and it crashed the game.

It feels like every woman character they add to the game is cashing in on popular trends in lovely anime design. I don't even with that new blue haired lady.

That said, I forgot how slick the animations were in this series. They're really good.

I think NiCO is ultra lame, and she was specifically designed to appeal to anime fans.

Quest mode sounds great, I'll be updating the second post character sample combos and expanding the OP with more side stuff closer to launch.

I'm not played a DOA game with Honoka in it. Is she a very uguu timid character who constantly apologizes? She looks that way. Either way, seems like outside the demon lady, all the women characters they've added look super lame that pander to the worst parts of fandom.

Honestly I'd be fine if they just stopped adding new characters since they've all sucked after 3 and just slowly add the Virtua Fighter cast.

Sort of? She has kind of a nebulous and vacuous personality and is just basically a dumbass. I don’t like her at all.


Anyhow if you’re talking about Nyotengu when you say demon lady, yeah she owns super hard.

Footage from the Taipei event. Notable change is that Tengu no longer needs air stance to do stuff. This is a huge buff her 5 version.
