Game looks pretty good in motion, I'm digging that raft stage. Juggling still looks weird, but that looks weird in any 3D fighter.
What sets the DoA series apart from something like Virtua Fighter? The pace in DoA looks faster than VF5, but I see no special meters or anything that indicates some sort of special system or goofy stuff like ranged hadoukens and all that. Looks like straight up normal fighting.

It flows a lot more than other 3D fighters, and it has a counter system that can be used against any attack.

DOA and VF share a lot of similar systems. DOA put a lot more focus on the arenas, some types of floors for example give you advantages. Slopes give you more height for combos, slipperly floors give you access to counter hit properties, etc. . . Knowing the arena can be incredibly advantagous.
DOA has power blow, at half life the bars glow red. You get access to a charge attack that does that slow motion cinematic move, you can choose the direction the enemy goes in.
The counter hold allows you to counter any move(4 different ones) and can be considered a comeback mechanic, somewhat, but it had its disadvantages.
It's also the most input leniant 3D fighter, so it's less about executing your moves and more knowing how to use them.
Every character can counter.
Stages are a lot more interactive than in other 3d fighters.
Edit: DR2K said it better.

Snow stage!
The game looks fantastic. Ive said it before and Ill say it again the character models are perfect.

Agreed. Probably the best looking character models I've seen in a game. Makes Tekken Tag 2 look awful.

seeing Jann-Lee sidestep around Hayate's elbow and get his back give me a tingly feeling
OMG Lisa has DA SHOUT OUT!!!
you KNOW i had to GIF this shit!

I'm really liking that Hayate can chain and cancel his new dashes from the alpha demo. Suddenly his doa5 incarnation makes a lot more sense. I think I'll main him.
Poor Eliot. His 236F+P couldn't even do that damage on HC and into an electric fence.

Haven't played DOA since 2 and while I thought it was pretty fun, I always hated how easy it was to pull off counters. When me and my friends got good at the game it pretty much became a complete counterfest. I'm still a bit interested in DOA5 but I don't really care that much for it since I'm in complete fighting game heaven right now with VF5FS.

Looks great. One of the games few games I'm looking forward to this fall.
That's funny!

Eliot has a really daft outfit. I am very happy.
Fixed for you.
Male characters clearly didn't benefit from the same efforts (but it doesn't look bad either)

The only thing I wish they'd do is make the ice on the ground behave like ice... The fighters' footing should be off, even if they just slide a little. Them moving as though they're standing on pavement makes it less believable. I know this likely wouldn't sit well with hardcore fighting game enthusiasts, but for a game that's clearly going for a more realistic aesthetic, you'd think that philosophy would apply to everything.
Otherwise the game looks utterly fantastic. Really looking forward to it!

Is there any good Brad footage out yet?
I said god damn!
BASS!
Damn...seeing people sidestep midstring. DoA is growing up!
No footage of him at all. Probably next week.
Edit: Holy shit, Eliot matches?
I might be wrong.

OMG SARAH. She looks really nice. I'm warming up to how she looks in this.

Lol
it would, but in this case: quality > quantity.
The game is looking better and better every month, to think all this visual fidelity, stage/effects and animation is being achieved with 60FPS gameplay. Very nice.
Think of the children!

Dang it, I really need to play this. It's been downloaded for over a month now, and still haven't touched it.
I do love fighting games, but I never really have the time to put in the necessary lab-work.
From my understanding PS3 version runs better and is the lead platform but 360 version could be as good by now. I'm going to get it on PS3 because I prefer dualshock tbh and I don't like fighting sticks.
DoA4 was a 360 exclusive, it's most likely that a majority of the DoA crowd is going to be on that platform.
Which is why I was asking.
I'll probably base my purchase to an extent on what I see on GAF.
Kasumi looks so impressive.
I'm getting it on both.
Like a boss.
I would be surprised if this was true. Didn't T6 sell pretty much the same on ps3/360 even though it's been pretty much a Playstation franchise.
Fighters this gen have been split pretty evenly for the most part on both consoles.
