Well, I'm gonna get the collector edition of zone of enders..... EU get the standard only....
 
[MENTION=10115]kactaplb[/MENTION], well here's my list of Hitomi's combos.

A majority of these combos will require the opponent to be standing, and face you too. They are also done on a stage that does not include any danger zones, meaning that it's possible for these combos to do even more damage than they normally do.

9K>P>P>P(46)
9K>P>P>4P>P>P(64)
9K>P>P>6P>P(52)>P*(70)
9K>P>P>6P>K(60)
9K>P>P>6P>2K>54
9K>P>P>K(50) Forces opponent to face backwards.
9K>P>P>2K(39)
9K>P>P>6K>K(57)>K*(81)
9K>P>K>K(54)
9K>P>K>2K(53)
9K>4P>K>K>K(59)
9K>4P>K>4P>K>K>K(72)
9K>K>K(50)
9K>K>2K(49)

*Wall only

Bleh, I'll just skip the basic combos. You'll know them after you learn the harder ones. :goodtea:

The possible finishers that can be used in these combos are:
1. 7K>PPP
2. 7K>PP4PPP
3. 7K>8PK6PK or 2K (1st ender sends flying, 2nd causes knockdown)
4. 7K>7P6K>6KKK
5. 7K>6P6K>6KKK
6. 7K>6PKKK
7. 7K>7P6K>P+KPP

^ Numbers indicate which follow up could be used after you land a Critical Burst in the red.

6P+K = Hitomi's Critical Burst (CB)
1P+K = Hitomi's Power Blow (PB)
(Damage non-wall~wall. Varies)

9K>9P>P>6P>P>CB>1(90~100), 2(103~113), 3(102~112 with K, 96 with 2K), 4(106~118), 5(108~118), 6(100~110), 7(108~118), PB(141~151)

9K>9P>3P>CB>CB(red)>1(90~100), 2(105~113), 3(104~114 or 98), 4(108~11), 5(110~120), 6(102~112), 7(110~120), PB(143~153)

4PP>P>3P>P>CB>1(87~97), 2(100~110), 3(99~109 or 93), 4(101~113), 5(103~115), 6(97~107), 7(97~107) PB(138~148)

9P>P>6P>P>3P>CB>1(84~94), 2(98~108), 3(96~106 or 90), 4(100~110), 5(93~103), 6(94~104), 7(102~112), PB(135~145)

9P>3P>6K>P>CB>1(80~90), 2(93~103), 3(92~102 or 86), 4(96~106), 5(89~99), 6(90~100), 7(99~109), PB(126~136)

6K>P>3P>P>6P>CB>1(89~99), 2(103~113), 3(101~111 or 95), 4(105~115), 5(98~108), 6(99~109), 7(108~118), PB(140~145?)

88/22P>3P>6K>3P>CB>1(87~97), 2(101~111), 3(99~109 or 93), 4(103~113), 5(96~106), 6(97~107), 7(105~115), PB(138~148)

6H+K>3P>P>3P>P>CB>1(99~109), 2(112~122), 3(111~121 or 105), 4(115~125), 5(108~118), 6(109~119), 7(112~122), PB(150~155)

4H+K>P>6P>3P>P>CB>1(91~101), 2(104~114), 3(103~113 or 97), 4(107~112), 5(100~119?), 6(101~111), 7(109~119), PB(142~152)

2P+K>3P>6K>6P>CB>1(97~107), 2(110~120), 3(109~119 or 103), 4(113~123), 5(113~125), 6(107~117), 7(115~125), PB(148~158)

6P+K>3P>1P>3P>BC>1(92~102), 2(106~116), 3(104~114 or 98), 4(108~113), 5(101~113), 6(102~112), 7(110~120), PB(143~148)

Some of these combos can be altered. Instead of using 7K as a combo finisher, it's possible to replace with 33P instead. Not only does it add more damage, but it juggles your opponent slightly higher. 7K>7P6K>6KKK and 7K>6P6K>6KKK can miss one or two hits if not timed properly, so using 33P helps out a lot.
You can also swap 7K for 4H+K, but you will only be able to follow up with either PPP, PP4PP, and a few other P strings. You can also use 8H+K instead of 7K/33P/6H+K, but the follow-up options are just as limited. Pick and try whichever you'd like.
For the high~low mix-up game, if the opponent is going to attempt holds during your combos, before landing your 'Critical Burst' you can also replace some commands. 9P, 6P, 3P, 1P are interchangeable with each other, but if you're going to use 1P in a combo, you will also need to land 3P after in order to connect to a Critical Burst. If your opponent is expecting this, just throw them or something. =]

Anyway, these are a list of combos that can be used on standing opponents, and positioning plays a vital role in their success. Good luck with 'em. :goodtea:

If you'd like, I can also make a list of combos for crouching enemies, when landing a Hi-counter and/or for foes with their back facing you.
 
YESSSS

I manage to beat Akira's Combo Challenge

that was freaking hard my fingers are sore :wtf:

damn you 1 frame button release...

I personally thing akira's is the hardest in the game...
 
mfw combowall...


^haha they included akiras infamous 1 frame combo huh. still think the vf charas are underpowered though.
 
I can't do the 1 frame combo thing >_> Wtf am I supposed to do!?

Gwee, Thanks for all the work you put in the Guide, really helpful ^^

Btw, the Downloadable Content is NOT the swimsuits! Nor the bunny/devil suits.
Just 11 other costumes for character like Gen Fu and Jann Lee (DOA main characters e.g. Kasumi/Ayane and the like do not get a new suit.
It's free so..I downloaded it anyway :P

I am going to suggest some strategies to you guys who are having trouble completing this trail.
first of all some pre-cautions

1) do not attemp if your fingers are tired or your fustrated already its just going to make it worse
2) if this is your first doa, don't try this trail til your more familiar to game system itself
3) you must understand how frames work alot of moves require this understanding more or less

most of akira's moves aren't all that difficult so I am just going to help you guys with some of the more difficult ones

note: whenever you see big dot in the string, you have to wait til the frame advances to certain point before hitting the button. mashing isn't going to work, its precise button pressing, but all in all its not difficult the frame to it in is pretty big.
most of his moves require frame advancement but I am not going to cover every move since all in all it wasn't too hard

note if you see Bold arrow its requires that position to be held

there are move which have big dot aswell but have an bold arrow before them, there requirement is just hold the position and execute the the rest of the command fast, its quick frame movement

Diagonal bold arrow P ....> forward arrow P P

for this its best to hold down and punch then when as akira is rising up hit the command.

Note: the second P require precise timing, as soon as the first P lands

Diagonal bold arrow forward arrow P K

same things as the previous one, the kick require a certain timing, just time it as the punch lands and your golden

here's another move that require just fast command

>H+KP <>>> P+K

now on to the most difficult one in the game

akira's
Teishitsu Dantai- its one frame release. all you have to is hit H+K button but release H button after one frame. Sounds simple?
but its not the timing for this button release is extremely small. I will now post some video where players explain how to do this move. I hope it helps.

I posted two methods, the first method worked for me luckily by fluke

well good luck....

8K~PPPP~6P+K(CB)~33K~66KK~PP7K(P+K)
236T~PPP~PP7K6(P+K)KK
36H~KK7K6(P+K)~P6PKK
66PP6[P+K]K~PP7K(P+k)

here some kas combo's, best way to find them is to experiment, use what works best for you.
each move has different properties, so you have to learn which crushes the guard and which you string power blows to. I might post more later once I start practicing and whatnot.

right now..I need to to AKira's training and Sarah's.
Seriously..some are such a pain >_>
I'll try to post some combo's when I figure out some cool/damaging ones.
 
yeah I would like to see those combo's XD

I could use more :p

LOL

I need to sarah brant's still

:p

I beat Lisa's somehow XD

I think I can beat Ryu's now, especially after beating akira's XD

the only annoying move is hayate's one throw combo which requires so much movement
 
For me the hardest one (aside from Akira) was Bass >_> so many combo's -_-
Been playing around with Kasumi a bit.

I will gather all the combo's of Kasumi that everyone sends in
and make it into one "combo-guide". So to those who (want to) main Kasumi, feel free to contribute ^^
So yea Selvaria, I could use your help ^^

1. 66p+5pppp+CB+236P+5ppppp
2. 66pp+6(P+k)+5p+CB+5pkk7k+5(p+k)
3. 66kk+4(H+k)+CB+33k+66kk+7k
4. 66T5T+5(h+k)+5pkk7k+6(p+k)+5pkk7k+6(p+k)+5pp7k+5(p+k)
5. 66pp+6(P+k)+5k+5pp6PK
(The part from 6(p+k)+5k has to be done quickly)


Ofcourse you can combo into a Power Blow in the combo's with the CB.
The 4th one is a nice 13 hit combo albeit rather difficult to pull of. I don't see it working in online battles if there's even the slightest of lag ;-;
Also, you don't have to use the throw. You can start the combo on a back-facing opponent.

I have these for now and I hope I typed them out correctly since I surprisingly had a hard time tying it out >_>

yeah no worries I will help post combo's but those are fine for now.

btw unown did you beat akira yet?
 
Haven't tried it again yet.
I did it once but I couldn't get past the weird one with the frame release or whatever so I gave up D:
I'll try tomorrow ^^

Right now..I'm wondering who else to main or atleast, get better with other than kasumi.
Probably Christie, really long combo's :o. Maybe Ayane? She has some nice moves.
As for the guys, only Hayate I think. Ryu's too hard and Rig is too complicated with his flamingo stance =_=
 
For Akira's one frame in Training mode you have to tap the buttons very gently (if you're using a pad, and from the looks of it, it's almost impossible on a PS3 controller). If you have an arcade stick with Sanwa buttons, this trial becomes even easier. The move will come out if at some point if you continuously do so.

I'll possibly play the game more tomorrow after I finish Uni and if I happen to not be going to a friend's house, since I'll be playing BlazBlue/Street Fighter there instead. :goodtea:

Hmm, in terms of overall stats, Gen Fu has the highest (23 Total points), followed by Hayabusa Ryu (22 Total points). Not entirely sure about Alpha 152(?) since I haven't unlocked her.

No problem Unown. I help whenever possible. And yeah, I just downloaded the costumes today. Seems my internet has stabilized itself again.

For now I'll be picking up Ryu since I currently don't have a second, but it's going to be waifu battles as kactaplb suggested, then I'll look for a second one, preferably Helena/Christie.

If you'd like you can add my PSN ID: AhGwee, Kacta. Maybe have some battles. o.O
 
unown go with koko you won't be disappointed XD

also if you want to confuse the hell out of yourself go with brad'

if you want to confuse the hell out of your opponent go with lisa
 
Kokoro..meh..I might give her a chance some time but for now..It's a no D:
omfg, Ive fought against a few Brads on online. SO annoying/confusing! >_>
 
From what I've read on the internet, there will be some "guest" characters from other series..Akira and Sarah from Virtua Fighter will appear. I wonder why this is being done, it would be a first for the DOA series. Are any new characters being introduced? Or is it just the usual characters back for the first real DOA game in years?
Crossover like Street Fighter X Tekken.
 
I wouldn't exactly compare it to SFxT since DOA5 brings characters outside of the game into the DOA world whilst keeping the gameplay the same and keeping the DOA feel.

If SFxT was made in mind with keeping the SF4 engine but having Tekken characters, it could be a much better game, but it felt like a very sluggish MvC3 without high jumping and the properties of the moves for some characters is ridiculous. The damage scaling on the game is a huge setback as well. :goodtea:
 
The game's out...what do people think?

DOA5_Hitomi_Swimsuit_zps4d3d2e0a.jpg
