Dead or Alive 5 (2012 for the PS360)

^I was under the impression that only people who preordered from gamestop got the bunngirl swimsuits? Was I wrong?
(I ordered CE, but I live in europe, so my copy comes on Friday (hopefully...))

*sigh* another fighting game with laggy online. The only fighting games I own that don't lag badly are SF 3rd Strike, SoulCalibur V, and Arc System games.

Good thing there is plenty of stuff to do offline in this game and hopefully the lag issues get resolved.

Also surprised that I didn't need the online pass to play online. Probably that is one reason why it's laggy, it's not patched yet.

And Rig, Ayane, Elliot and Jann Lee are pretty much very effective on the laggy online due to their fast and powerful striking priorities.

PS3? Check the Manual the bunny suit is in the manual and there is an online pass at the back of the manual as well.

Does anyone know how to unlock costumes other than the DLC ones?

[MakubeX2]

So has anyone done some creative get-up with their characters yet ? Don't mind sharing ?

Like old school gaming keep finishing the arcade modes in different difficulties and completing missions.

[Frailty]

oh boy

[Asuras]

Gen Fu nearly did this to me in a Versus match. I abhor the addition of those down-P moves for every character. Makes it unnecessarily difficult to simply get up.

[kenjiharima]

I knew she had something up with her.

Damage is crap, but the effectiveness sure.

Patch will probably come when the online issue is fixed.

you can also get them by finishing the time attack and survival modes as well.



anyways, was trying out the True Fighter difficulty and i got murder. the
com can read every of my moves and "WHAM!" hit me with counters after
counters after counters as if they know what i am doing exactly. the AI
is making me cry...lol. oh god, the horror!

and that was only the True Fighter difficulty. there is still the Master difficulty in which
i think the COM will makes me wanna quit playing altogether. god, there's got
to be a cheap way to beat these ridiculous AI retardedness.

EDIT: woo! i actually beat Master difficulty with Hayabusa. fighting the AI fairly is
suicidal. with his back+p+k hadoken moves and the fast left-up+kick attack got me
thru this crazy mess. now on to Legend difficulty. hopefully i can use the same cheapness
from Hayabusa and finish this Legend difficulty as well.

EDIT2: ha ha! beat Legend difficulty using the same tactic from Hayabusa. i still lose a few rounds,
but i got at least 50% chance to win each time. more than enough. thank you Hayabusa, for being so awesome. ;p

I know those feels, bro. I managed to beat Legend Difficulty in Arcade earlier today with Ayane (properly, no exploits/spams ). The problem with AI enemies is that when they decide they're going to counter you... They do. They can read your input before the strike connects and apply the appropriate counter as if they saw it coming (technically they did) and at higher levels the algorithms set the AI opponent to attempt to counter more. Ergo, they counter half your moves, likely more.

The mode is nuts. I can't even land a punch or kick at times.

Legends I can win, but True Fighter.

[DragoonKain3]

Just wondering, how does one unlock Kokoro's schoolgirl uniform? Fell in love with it at first sight, but unfortunately I don't have much free time to experiment with the multiple modes to unlock it.

[Asuras]

Fastest way is probably to go through the hardest Arcade mode challenges.

[kayos]

Can someone explain to me why when I take a photo it ends up as a save data and not in the xmb photo folder? Kind of defeat one of its' purpose as taking photos if you can't share it.

Not to mention the more you take the more cluttered your save data folder becomes.

This game feels rushed, that even training mode with the game install have lag spikes. Maybe it has something to do with the invitation I've been getting while in training mode.

From what I've seeing, there's not much customization. You can change 2 or 3 hair type and add glasses on but that's basically it.

I sometimes wonder if I can really get into this game since I play 2D fighters most of the time. Couldn't get my hands on the limited edition due to all of them pre-ordered at gamestop the same day I attempted to pick it up.

I did buy myself a copy and only been in training room for the most part but don't have a friend interested in going up against me like I did before moving. It was the impulse decision to play on an equal level against my best friend and beat him with the two characters I had in mind but at this rate boredom strongly approaches. Everyone around me would rather play COD instead of learning something new, damn military.

( I never had a 360 in the past to literally get into the DOA series, hell. I joined to pretty late as 4 was my first one for like the first two weeks before returning it back to my friend).

Where exactly are you located? The closer you are to a person the less laggy it'll be. I'm sure there's some DoA forums or fighters forums/boards in general where you can find players close to you.

I've been playing against a friend who's one state away and we have 5 bars, don't seem to be any lag between us.

I used to live in Austin TX where all the gamers were but now I live in El Paso after enlisting into the military. There's no offline scene or 4 to 5 star connection since the internet here is practically bad.

I need to browse a DOA board to bump up my Ayane and Hitomi skills.

Finally, I finished Legend arcade mode with Tina. It sure took me awhile to finish, but what I got from it in the end was damn worth it

Dat Swimsuit... god bless america for that swimsuit
