Do the counter blow moves have any visual effects? Just started watching and I'm not picking up on the DOA5 changes like buffed sidestep and counter blows.

It states it next to the hit counter.

Random question: have they said anything about making DoA5 more accessible to newcomers? I bought DoA4 and the 3DS version and was pretty confused with both titles and ended up not really getting into them.

Stilted jumpy animations? Sure bro.

I find statements like this fascinating, because I've always considered most other 3D fighters to have pretty awful animation compared to DOA. Character choreography has always been one of the strengths, in my opinion.

That Hitomi VS Lei Fang match was amazing.

That's always their goal, I believe they'll be doing something in story mode that will help explain the system at the same time, similar to how DOAD did it. They added an online training mode, which will be a huge tool for players to teach and learn.

This stream had some great matches so far. Great comebacks, close calls, etc.

his game looks amazing so far. I'm getting pretty hyped for Sept. 25th.

Good to see Brad Wong is back. I'm actually fine with the fact that they ditched his drink system. He looks like he'll still be a contender.

Also, dat Rig.


Nonsense. TTT2's new tag combo system is the most stylish thing in any recent fighting game, by far. Insane fluid sequences of dynamic attacks. And regarding the cast, are you really going to tell me that characters like Yoshimitsu, Kunimitsu, Raven, Hwoarang, Lili, and Christie aren't stylish? Whatever. Watch some more videos and then we can talk.

Not to mention the music and stages are fucking awesome. Sure you don't get to see character get knocked off a waterfall or off a skyscraper only to fight on a new arena, but what Tekken does offer in terms of layered stages adds more than enough from a competitive standpoint.

Thanks. Makes me feel a little better about my preorder.

Nope just that if you press certain combination you give items like glasses to the character or hairstyles changes.

Oh, I knew about the hairstyles, but they added glasses/other items? That's cool.

I think I saw it will be uploaded on youtube or something like it. If I find anything about it I'll let everyone know here.
Judging from their other tournament at E3 I'm surely it will end up on youtube. How fast will that be? There I don't really know.

For now leaving this link here unless there will be an official thread for that. http://en.twitch.tv/iplfighters

3PM - Doors Open; Casual Play
4PM - First Qualifying Pool (single elimination)
6PM - Second Qualifying Pool (single elimination)
8PM - Top 8 Finals (double elimination)

Those were some good matches in top 8 specially that comeback Punishere did.

 

[Airgetlam]

Those were some good matches in top 8. That Comeback Punishere did was too good.

Yeah, that was a good one. It almost makes me want to change my main to Leifang.

I think we have a different opinion of what makes something stylish.

They really improved Bass's movelist. I love the new holds and counters
