reversal time was shortened for DOAU right? then increased again for DOA4? I think that's right and I found it rather silly after DOAU played so well.
We just received the Hitomi vs Ayane video. It's weird, because it comes from SEGA (in Spain), so I thought it was a new VF5 appearance announcement. But it's 'just' an awesome fight demonstration, no SEGA presence (I guess they distribute it here or sth).
So looking forward to this!

Sega is indeed publishing this in Europe

Can someone upload it to YouTube? That site's video player is bleak.
Looks amazing. I think we saw both of Hitomi's advanced counters, and another of Ayane's showing that normal counters are more comparable to DoA1's (small damage + advantage after). I also like that it looks like you can bait out counters with the power blows.
I do not like the slow mo on the powerblows, but they don't seem to take longer than, say ultras in SF4 or supers in SC5.
Looking good!
Edit: and I think at :50 we see Hitomi sidestep Ayane's 4k!

The only bad thing is that it seems like this takes from the older build (which is what the upcoming premium demo is based on). Or at least, older than the build used for the Kasumi+Akira demonstration, anyway. I'm so glad that a lot of those ugly hitsparks seem to be gone by that point.

That videos is taken from the demo. Man, next week can come soon enough.
Agreed. Though, be forewarned, since the older demo is apparently much more out of date, there's really no point over-analyzing it so much.
I thought it was awesome. Maybe you're a bit biased?
Just seeing the way counters will change in counters will change the flow of combat, the risk and reward, makes me happy. Also, seeing an actual sidestep was awesome. Huge changes in these matches.

I thought again to that but honestly, it felt boring for me. I was way more intrigue with Kasumi vs Ayane and Hayate vs Ryo. I guess it was just the fighting performance. Apologies. I think my biggest question is this: All those wonderful looking movement before the slowdowns look great but can I do all that myself? I.e. is it manual or scripted? If scripted then I'm afraid I need to see more of the game to be convinced that they are offering more to the table. Do you know what I mean?
No need to apologize, just poking fun at your avatar.
I am, afterall, hugely biased as a DoA fan.

Ah. Thanks.
I'm a DOA 1 (sega saturn version) and 2 fan. DOA 3 and 4 completely died for me as I felt they offered nothing new to the table. This looks incredible but I'm afraid of the "too easy to activate" factor for powerful movements really hurt the game from when it was introduced in DOA2. I completely hear what you are saying so hopefully the new additions will balance the game more.

It was nice to see a sidestep in there. Thanks for pointing that out, Skilletor. Hopefully they add side throws and side hit situations to go along with this new lateral movement.
I didn't get as excited for this one since much of the flow was the same as the original trailer and this build is outdated. Still, it looks promising overall. I'm still not thrilled about holds out of stun, but hopefully at the very least they give us a good number of stuns that you can't counter out of.

I'm hoping for the return of natural combos. DoA4 had a few, and then they got rid of them with a patch. DoA3 had a lot of them as well.
Side throws would be pimp.

Ayane looks so awesome in that video

Just don't look into Hitomi's eyes.
Yeah, Hitomi not so much, ears too big, face too skinny...Ayane looks so awesome in that video
To me, it looks like she got the face of a 14/15 yrs old but the body of someone in their 20s. So strange.
Is there a 60fps version somewhere? The game looks awesome.

Am I the only one who thinks they tried to virtuafighter the animations?

I'm not sure what you mean.
The animation looks pretty much the same as the other games to me. If anything, it looks a little weird since the characters look so much better but still move in that kinda weird, twisty, pointy way only DoA combat does.

Damn... I am loving Ayane's new costume, it looks so badass. The flying car was a pretty cool touch too

Hitomi still a power beast it seems, wish they had updated their voices though, heard those effects so many times since DoA3 it's the tire squeal of GT right now.
Looks like a revisited DoA3 outfit to show off more cleavage! :lol

The animations look exactly the same.
I don't think any of the female voices match what the character models now look like. It's pretty jarring to me.

That's what dubs are for.
I just had horrible flashbacks to DoA2: HC's english dub.

Feel my pain.
It's just the worst one out of the bunch. Ayane and Kasumi looks great, Hitomi...ugh...

Pain felt.
But standards have improved considerably since then, Dimensions dub was pretty adequate.

Yep. It's my favorite costume. I like the little touches like the purple twine around her wrists and the purple stitching throughout. It's a really cool update
And dubs? Yuck. I can't stand them in fighting games. They're cool everywhere else, but never in fighters

I hope that was an unfinished model.
I reeeeeeeeeeally hope.
Because everyone else looks great, its just not consistent to have her look that derpy.

She looks okay in motion at least, but those stills really highlight how off she looks

DoA4 had features in 2005 that other fighting games STILL haven't matched, or fail to do as well online.
If I could pre-order this I'd do it today. It's pretty much guaranteed that it will have the best graphics and deepest online features, along with the fun gameplay we are used to.

A recent twitter entry seemed to indicate that voice recording was still going on.

So, it's possible what we've heard so far could be just placeholders.

That was pretty freaking rad.
Thanks! No official word this side yet - that makes sense.
The only time a dub is appropriate is for select anime and kung-fu flicks made before 1988.
My less-than-humble opinion.
That's why I hope they keep the majority of that system in place for DOA5. Why online fighting systems have been regressing in features for the past six-ish years is beyond me.Dreams-Visions said:
I can't think of a single another series that has matched the features of DoA2U, an XBOX game. haha
