    Get an Xbox :D hahah, I'm just kiddin. Yes, dat Marie theme! I'd love to put that as my main menu music when she comes out. But I don't think they'll be able to add that to the choices that's already there.

    I hopped online for the first time a few days ago. So fun. Played players from all different skill levels. Mostly people round my level n a lil higher, with some really good players sprinkled here n there. Man, I have to say it's so funny watching people constantly mash out moves wether they just got hit, or their move/string got blocked, lol. Which is fine. I don't care (see sig). It helps me too playing against that. And some moves starters have evasive properties, so they'll go right into that move.

    Man, holding is hella dangerous hahah. Lots of folks reaction to getting hit is to hold also. When I notice that, I bust out the Kokoro's three part throw (forgot the name) for dat 97 damage.. And cheese n rice man, Jacky and Akira's HCT damage is nuts! [4][6]/[6][4]+[P]+[G], 99 damage on HTC..Dam.. And Jacky is nuts lol. One scary thing about the VF characters is their [2][P] actually hits as a low o_O And one thing that was messin my head up was vs Jacky, I couldn't block his low kick after his spinning back punch, and I'm like wtf man, lol. I'm in dojo mode trying to block it, and can't. I'm like dam man that's so wrong. So ok, lemme see if the CPU can block it. Sure nuff, blocks it. I'm hella confused right now. So I try again. I'm getting hit by the low every time. Then I remember you can block without using the guard button. So for some odd reason, I block the first hit like I normally block by hitting the block button, then let go n try to block the low by holding [1]. Sure enough, blocks the dang thing... I'm like wooooowwww. That's deep hahah. Turns out you can even just hold [2] to block that low after blocking the high.

    I could go on for a while bout all this. All in all, I really like the game. Glad I got it. Be cool if they released some DLC that wasn't swimsuits, lingerie or mini skirts with titty shirts though. But most of the costumes they give ya are pretty coo.

    EDIT: I guess most everybody has 90+ damage throws on a HC. I was just shocked when I first saw all that red when Jacky did his. Jaw dropped. I was like dam, all that speed n mix ups he has, plus throws with hella damage! That's wild. They should probably tone that down 10-15, hek even 20 points to the fast stringy characters, hahah. 99 points of dmg is a lot just for that.

    Lots of good news I see!

    Yes-As you can see, most people just abare, abare, abare and-you guessed it-ABARE! Unfortunately, most characters lend themselves too well to that type of gameplay and it can actually be very rewarding in this game...

    That said, knowledge of character strings and move adv/disadv is very important here, especially if you can hold most moves....The flip side of that is to be cautious with your holds, because as you mentioned, they can be dangerous with the OMGWTF! damage on counter. XD

    So only use them when you're certain and try not to low hold out of strings, or in anticipation of a throw, because you will eat low counter throws all day if you are facing a good player...I had to learn the hard way. :(

    Going back to the crazy damage on the counters, admittedly, it's a patchwork-solution to the flawed hold-system in this game...It's just a quick trade-off to the fact that you can almost hold out of anything...So, yeah...It'll probably be like this until they decide to remove holding out of hit-stun in this game.

    Yes, the VF-characters' [2][P] are legit! If I'm not mistaken, only Ayane's is the only other one that comes close to being as good as theirs. lol

    About that blocking thing with Jacky-Wow that's interesting, I never realized that! Yeah, there are a lot of funny things in this game! lol

    As far as DLC goes, they actually have some good ones that came out, like: the Halloween pack, Casual packs, Legacy pack, Fighters(MMA) pack. Out of those for Akira, you'll get the AWESOME samurai outfit in the Halloween one, the MMA outfit in the fighters and the weird, traditional, ramen/sushi-chef/pajama-looking outfit in the casual vol. I(lol-Which I'm actually starting to appreciate...). Kokoro's Halloween succubus outfit is okay, but her casual vol. I is pretty good.

    All in all, really happy to see that you're loving this too!

    Here's some DOA-related news:

    I brought this when i was on sale. I slept on it and am still doing so. I tried to give it a go, but was told i need to download a costume catalogue before a can play? What's up with that?

    When you boot up the game it is telling you to download the costume catalogues? Hmm...I'm not sure what that's about, as the costume catalogues are only optional...They allow you to see the DLC outfits-that's all...Then again, I got the game around release and have gotten the DLC packs/catalogues that they've released since then...So maybe it's different for some just playing it now?

    Can you provide me with some more details on how it is preventing you from playing?

    Also, here's some great Sarah gameplay from...Someone?:


    Here's some good Sarah/Jacky action from SweetRevenge and DestructionBomb!:


    Another good Sarah match from TK xXKillyxX-Watch Sarah try to take down her brother's BFF! :

    The game loaded, but after pressing start i was given a message asking to DL costume pack 4.
    All options had a white line through them except the one that takes you to the marketplace. Now given that it seemed to be an absolute requirement,you'd think they'd take you right there or at least make it easy to find, right? No. lol

    So i switched to the market place proper and managed to find it. While it was downloading i played VF. I haven't switched it back on since. The inconvenience was annoying. Has it never happened to anyone else here?

    Those beautiful Akira buffs...and that damage increase on Tetsuzanko(Body-Check) and Byakko(Double-Palm)...Mwhahahahahahahaha!!!!!

    Marketplace? Ah, so you're on Xbox...Well, that may explain it right there.

    It could just be an Xbox-only thing, especially considering how DOA5U: Core Fighters(F2P) is unavailable on Live and you can play that without bothering with any DLC at all...Whilst still being perfectly compatible with the full DOA5U on PS3...

    Anyways, good luck and have fun whenever you get it started!

    Yea it made me download that too before I could do anything. I think it has something to do with costumes being usable for free on Ultimate (by unlocking them) that weren't on 5, but wasn't added with Ultimate or something. Just a guess. But I think it's something along those lines. Only took like a minute or two ta download for me.

    EDIT: Whatever is in Costume Catalogue #4, that's what you have to get before you can play.

    Yea it seems so far that they buffed Akira with a lil damage here and there, and a lot of moves with reduced recovery time
    on whiff. And they gave Jacky buffs too! Lots of em like that lol. Bastards, hahah. But it seems like they mostly gave Kokoro nerfs :( It all seems to be minor stuff though. Ima still rock with her though. I always pick my characters by look, fighting style and moves. And if they're compatible with the way I play. If they happen to be mid, high or low tier, then so be it. I don't know what she's rated as, but she feels pretty good.
    On another note. Haven't been able to play for about a week and even a few more days from now due to moving. But I'm so exhausted from moving I don't even feel like playing anything anyways, hahah.

    Some of the inputs for Akira are so weird cause other motions suffice for them. Like doing his single palm move, you can just do a hadouken motion and it will work. Doing it the way I buffer it on VF always causes a Yohou to come out. Doing his double palm you can just do a hurricane kick motion, then push forward and [P] Though buffering these moves in combos seems to have a small challenge because it seems you can't buffer moves like those too early I.e. when a jab is out.

    For his GBoD move. I found you can just spin the stick in half (or full if you wish) circle motions and press the required buttons when needed and it'll work :D I don't know what had me try these things. But I tried em, and they work, hahah. I still do the double palm the same way I do it for VF. You just have to start the motion (from my experience) after the previous move is finished. But I can't seem to get the single pqlm into combos yet. Yohous always come out no matter how I buffer the move.

    This reminds me. The stages in this game are really awesome.. I like how on the wrestling stage, the audience holds up signs of your characters names and pictures of them, lol. Pretty cool. And that construction stage is pretty sweet when it's all falling apart during the fight and the floor goes uneven mid fight. Lots of cool lil and big random stuff that happens during the fights on the stages.

    I agree. DOA has the best stages. I would love to see stages like that make it over to VF. Especially LORELEI which is the best stage EVER.

    So I changed my mind on getting the DLC for this game. There's a couple decent ones here n there. But it's all mostly bikini/swimsuit outfits, or some skeezy type of outfit. I mean, I like TnA, but dam lol.

    Only ones I would want is Akira's casual one (that blue one). And Kokoro's Christmas outfit.. But dam at $1.99 each though..

    Its been a while folks-I'm back! Where to begin?:

    lol Yeah, overall this game allows for a lot more flexibility in performing his moves...and yes, the GBoD is on easy mode there. lol

    As for single palm, I don't know if I've run into that problem with doing it in combos...Maybe try it without buffering it?

    Try this single palm combo:
    [2][3_][P][+][K], [4][6][P], [4][3][P], [2][P], [3][K][+][G] [P] [4][6][P][+][K]

    FINALLY!!! I thought they forgot about doing Akira and Pai! Thanks!!!

    YES! VF needs more dynamic stages like DOA!

    DOA5U Xtreme Beach Volleyball Ultimate Edition!:

    Oh, and the 1.04 patch is all a go! Here's the list of changes again for those that don't know:
    http://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/dead-or-alive-5-ultimate-arcade-ver-1-04-change-log.4013/

    Now, here's a treat to the Akira-players from DestructionBomb over on FSD! Enjoy! *Note these are more "fun-type" combos for Akira, not necessarily stuff that should be used as a combo guide*:
