you mean christie will wait 3 long hot summer months till you play with her =P



how you liking the demo

well, #

you know me and london, allways joking



sucks having too wait.



do you reckon we will see a new stage soon ??

I am glad that all characters return But I miss Ein I like to play him more then Hayate And I think its dissapointing if there's only 2 new characters and 3 guest characters! I would rather have more new characters and less guest characters!

But if this is real, my fav. Pai is in the game And that is awesome And Sarah is cool too

But I hope that we will see more new characters. I want Aikido, Krav Maga, Boxing, Capoeira and Taekwondo and a style like Lili from Tekken

same here leifang12



i reckon rig will be early 30's

and the new girl mila will be 18-25, like most the girls

I really do hope that isn't the final character roster. I STILL want to see a female tae kron do character in the game. It would suck if there was 3 guest characters from VF and 2 brand new characters in the game. I was hoping to see atleast 3-4 new characters in the game. If this is true, I will be slightly disappointed, unless it is a tae kron do character.

same rev, same man



@LAV, momiji fights like a ninja because she is hayabusa's, shall we say student, but she has her own move set, SO TEAM NINJA< PLEASE ADD IN MOMIJI

I wish sidestepping was more practical.

not happy with this possible 2-3 vf characters,

i mean bungie (halo) only put one character in(Nicole), and got hayabusa style armour in halo 3. GOO AWAY VF, 1 character please,



i would prefer akira and momiji

I know what you mean man 3 VF characters is way to much i sure hope we get Momiji

I have not played the demo yet, but this is what I think will happen. why don't we have normal sidestepping by clicking up or down and holding it in for normal walking sidestepping like DOA3.1 and also have sidedash'es by clicking up•up or down•down instead of up or down and then a trigger butten ???

DOA5 does have a traditional side-step...and the the up•up or down•down is for the quick step ala Virtua Fighter. Then with that quick step you can attack with either a punch and or kick. From my 100 or so matches of the DOA5
demo I can safely say that feature alone kills anything DOA4 has. So I'm agreeing with the majority on the importance of that addition.

So you don't have to click a trigger butten when you want to do quick sidesteps? then I am more calm!!! I cannot wait to play it later today!

No no, sorry I wasn't clear, you DO HAVE to press the trigger for the quick steps just like you do in Virtua Fighter, but to do a typical side-step you just do it as you normally would in any other 3D fighter. Trust me, when I first heard of the idea I was half n half about it, but after playing DOA5 I wouldn't like it any other way, lol, it fits it so beautifully!

Ok, guess I have to try it first before commenting it does it seem more competitive friendly and do you like the changes? And is it more balanced?

It's most definitely more competitive and I felt the overall system was even more balanced. The game doesn't have a 4 point counter system anymore, it has a 3 point counter system like DOA3, where "Back Hold" counters kicks and punches so Characters now have "Advanced Counter Holds" which you already know, like Hitomi's normal kick counter is an entire new counter but it you do her advance counter hold which is "back, forward counter-hold" she does her old kick launcher where you can then combo off of.

Like Hayabusa has advanced holds that are like Bayman's cause now Ryu can no longer do an Izuna drop off a a normal punch counter unless he does an advance punch counter-hold, so that's good to hear. I don't have the Ayane and Hayate but from what I hear and see, this DOA is sure to be the best one yet because I see they're taking the best aspects from each DOA game and putting them into DOA5! Lol, you know when you're having a blast after the 30th match has gone by and you felt like it was only 10.

Side-note, I love how the Computer gets harder and harder after each match. The only way the Computer will go back to easy is when you quit out and go back to the Menu, but other than that, you're in for some pretty fun matches indeed....I LOVE DOA!!!

That makes me really happy to hear!!!! 3 point hold system could get a little annoying when playing as Leifang, but hopefully Lei will get some more heigh launchers in DOA5

Love te idea that Izunas now are advanced holds!!!!!! Yay cannot wait to try it out!!! Really want this game to do great!!! Really awesome that the AU gets harder!! I was worrying it would be to easy so glad to hear! ;D 4 hours to go before I'll have my hands on it!!!

The more I read about the game & the demo, the less patient I am about the release!

Sounds like DOA is back!

Yeah baby !!!!!! DOA5 FTW!!! Fighting game of the year!!!!

Played the demo for several hours yesterday and I have to say I love it!

There are a few small things I might have liked differently but the improvements, in my opinion, are so huge that I don't care about anything else. This game flows in a way DOA4 never did and is so responsive! I love that there are fewer stuns than DOA4 and am really enjoying trying out some of the characters new moves.

I don't normally like to play as Ayane but she is great. I'm lucky because Hayate is my main and Hitomi is my second charactor so I've got them both Ryu is looking smooth and I feel that the change to the Izuna drop is a good thing.

My boyfriend and I play together so we are getting a really good go at this demo and are able to point out differences to each other in the characters and the game.

The worst thing about this demo is that it makes me LONG FOR SEPTEMBER!!!!! I can't wait to get my hands on the real thing!

The game can definitely be taking seriously and it does feel more balance. Although, the ninjas might be a little bit better because they are ninjas lool. But I am really glad to hear that Hayabusa can no longer to a normal counter that will leads to Izuna Drop. I love the fact that you can cancel out of the PowerBlow by SideSteping.

I am very surprise on how good the alpha demo is. It is actually amazing and I am loving it so far. But I just hope that there will be some new characters in the game. Having 3 guest characters from VF and 2 Brand new characters is kinda disappointing. I just hope the characters are more appealing in this game than previous DOA games.

I can see I'm going to really annoy people with Hayate's new down kick. It ducks high attacks and can interrupt combos
