WTF? Christie only has four fucking costumes! Hitomi only has 8 costumes here, & 3 are pallet swaps. After the costume bonanza that Ultimate was, this is pretty disapointing. Oh well, I guess they had to save something for the download content, but it still pisses me off.

Obviously shorter reversal windows, but also shorter air-times after launchers and during juggles. Nitpickers will bitch about some minor tearing and a few stiff/ugly hair and clothing textures, but the overall look is impressive. Damn, those backgrounds!

I kinda feel like the air juggles are longer now, or at least more pronounced (characters will seem to hover in the air in slo-mo) but that could be my eyes being tricked by the overall speed increase (at least it FEELS alot faster). Reversals definately take a ton more precision. I could never have given you any frame data, but I think before you had pretty close to a full second to pull off a reversal, which in some cases (faster moves) was forgiving enough for you to actually start the reversal before your opponent's move started to come out and still catch it. I'll bet you probably have about half the time now as before; I was getting slapped around pretty good with shit that I saw coming and just couldn't land the counter in time. Less damage from reversals should help balance things out a bit better (hasn't this been happening with the series after 2/Hardcore pretty much every time?) and prevent some cheese.

They seem to have taken some liberties with the move sets as well, it appears as though a good bit of the old stuff has either gotten new animations or been replaced by something else entirely. I suppose I oughtta plow through training mode with a few characters and see what's what. I know I'm a little rusty, but I kinda doubt I forgot half the shit I ever knew about this series. The whole thing just feels alot more aggresive, which I think is a good thing.

Stages all look completely gorgeous. Anyone notice that the cars in the Vegas stage will actually slow down and honk/ drive around you if you're standing in their path well ahead of time, and only really plow into you if you get knocked in front of them suddenly? I though it was cool that they weren't just scripted to come sailing through at full speed every so often.

JM

Yeah, there was a shitload more in Ultimate than this. Unless of course there is some quirky parameter that must be satisfied to get more stuff, which I kinda doubt. I think I heard too that Team Ninja DID NOT want to support downloadable content on this one, but I have no reliable source on that for referance and it actually contradicts stuff they've done in the past (Hurricane packs and DOA3 booster disk).

I'd like to see new stuff made available via credits earned for certain achievements, like officially organized online tournamnets or even certain criteria being met in the game offline. If they eventually make cool stuff available for a few bucks to download I'll probably bite, but I'd much prefer to get it for free and have added incentive to play the game and earn the stuff somehow (not that this isn't already the case, I'm just talking about evolving the way it's handled).

They flat out said long ago that because the costumes are much harder to create this time around, that they will have nowhere near the amount that Ultimate has, and that later on they will release them as downloads. This was mentioned MONTHS ago, so don't be pissed.

What is this I've been reading about people losing their saves for DOA4?!?! I'm scared to boot mine up as I'd DIE going through Arcade mode again :confused: .

Also, in some matches the lag is terrible. I'm talking Matrix slow. And no, I'm not playing in a room with 8 people. I'm talking about my friend down the street. Its kinda odd, I was playing my friend from NJ and it was cool, but I played some with my friend down the way and 30% of the matches were lag-tastic (And before someone jumps in and says my/his connection sucks, we both had full green bars).

I don't have it in front of me right now, but I'm pretty sure the system voice setting is under "other" (I think it's the 5th option) in the settings menu. Pretty sure it's right next to "age", which they have decided to throw in yet again.

OK. Here is the deal.

There are achievements for getting a D, E, F and for losing 10 and 20 matches in a row. These achievements give you 0 gamerpoints.

Should I let myself lose and get them so I can get all the DOA4 achievements, or not get them (therefor being cool by not having them)?

I don't know how I feel about negative achievements. I guess it is fine if they are 0 point achievements (which in this case, they are), but I'm such a completist I feel I should get them anyway.

Thoughts?

Yeah, my thought is that if you care about getting ZERO gamerpoints you gotta think about your priorities :) It's Team Ninja's way of continuing to have a sense of humor about things.

For many, it's going to start out as "beginner's luck", so don't be too hard on yourself. It will take awhile -- weeks even before this particular aspect will become instictive and less of a guessing game. Honestly you play the Training Mode as I suggested this morning. I can't stress enough how valuable this mode is). The other alternative if you just want a more realistic opponent would be to spar against some of the other players here like Korly, Chux, and Dipstick.

Anyways, here's a basic breakdown.

Everyone has a series of attacks that vary from high, mid, and low. The counter system (called "holds" in Dead or Alive) allow you to turn an opponent's offensive attack to your advantage -- provided you choose the proper counter-attack.

Here are the following "counters" -- activated in conjuction with the D-pad and F (X button simultaneously).

High hold (used against high kick) -- Diag. Up+Foward w/F
Mid kick hold -- Forward+F
Mid punch hold -- Back+F
Low hold (used against low punchs/kicks) -- Diag. DF+Forward

There are also jumping attacks that you'll also need to either use forward or back against. Timing is a lot less forgiving against these, so again, practicing in the training mode would be your best option. Pick a character, then configure the CPU's actions to execute a specific attack and/or combo string. Once you become more familiar with the animations and attack style, it will eventually become second nature. At the risk of sounding cheesy, half the fun about this game is learning the reversal system.

Another thing too, while you may not be encountering a lot of people abusing throws -- it's a good idea to develop the proper timing to reverse those too. Generally, you have to spot the opening frames to reverse an attempted throw by pressing F+Punch together. This can be especially effective when playing against grapplers and characters like Leifang, La Mariposa and Hitomi who are capable of pulling off a series of throws at once. Fortunately, the game provides a visual cue, called "Combo Throw", but it's better to naturally pick up on the timing on your own.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. Now I remember why I suck at fighters. I don't have the patience to learn everything. That aside. I can tell I'm going to have a lot of fun playing this game with you guys. I'm just going to have a really hard time getting the achievments.

You'll get the occasional win in Story Mode, but winning twice in the time-attack is quite the bitch. I was up until 3AM the other night just trying to get the Halo Spartan.

Couldn't do it from the pop-up (big "X" button) Live menu, even though he is on my Friends List and it showed that he was playing the game. Is there some other menu I need to go to?

1. Go into Sparring.
2. Pick a character.
3. Review move list.
4. Pick just a few moves/combos to practice.
5. Set opponent CPU at around 3 or 4 for starters, and play for 10 minutes.
6. Repeat, and adjust CPU accordingly.

You will be at least decent with that character within an hour or two. No need for dedication.

Stick with it, the more practice the better you get. That's the attraction of a fighting game, you should be shitty when you start. It's when you grasp the mechanics of the game when it really opens up.

Fuck I want this game.

Unless the option to "Join Game in Progress" is an option in the Xbox Guide menu, you can't just hop in. The most easiest option would be to have him send you an invite.

Master is not rampantly fronting -- he would always steal my credits in DoA:U. He also has a perverse pleasure in raping underage Japanese schoolgirls. :(

The one reason you would want to buy the outfits in Zach's Shop is because playing through time attack over and over is boring as all hell. Specifically, the final fight with Alpha-152. Fighting that bitch is both frustrating as all hell and absolutely boring -- not a good combination.

Just got a 360 yesterday, and signed onto Live. I hopelessly suck at the game (for the moment), but I'm up for some matches. There's no better way to gain experience and improve than to get whooped a few dozen times and learn from your mistakes. I just hope that Roadrunner's crappy routing doesn't introduce too much lag.

Korly: Sorry I didn't join earlier. Too many people were over and a movie was about to start. Regardless, send me an invite sometime and hopefully I don't get completely crushed.

Don't delete me yet! I just got me a 360 so Helena will be back to destroy you all.

Cool, soundwave -- maybe we can play before i go in to work tomorrow.

Korly: I'll be down to go against your monster skills 1 on 1 -- but it's been my experience when a host has more than two ppl in a room, it gets rather laggy. I prefer rooms where the invitations are locked down solely to those you want to invite. Don't worry -- we'll play soon since I know you're trying very hard to reach that SS grade :p

Stop taking me (and the game) so seriously. I'm not actually good, and I'm definitely not "a monster". (although, I can beat Chux at will.) A little lag never hurt anyone. It's still fun to play, unless you're playing Josh, since that's almost always frame-by-frame gaming.

I tried playing with a few of you guys lt night but when I jumped on, a bunch of you left shortly after :sweat:

Maybe tonight?!

Yeah, I had fun last night, I lost most of my fights, and lag played into it, but if I was a bitch I'd have quit after the first match.

Only when I play you sweetie. The rest of my matches are fine.

P.S. The only thing fun about our matches is all the shit talk. I'm not good enough to bother playing against you.

I understand the frustration a lot of my friends get when we play 2D games now...

LOL! Fair enough -- good advice that I used to tell folks back when I played SFAC. Hey -- add me on AIM btw, cuz I don't always get around to checking this as often -- "bahndotcom" is the SN

Edit: Not responding in agreement to your statement about the lag. Lag sucks, period.

Playing Josh is lots of fun, always good times! Speaking of which -- Josh, I expect to spar a bit with you today! :)

P.S. can you only earn zack's online? because 100 points per victory is going to make it nigh impossible to get any cool avatars or whatever.

Wait, this is coming from you who couldn't handle even the tiniest bit of lag? ;) Hopefully we'll get to play some more this week.

Actually, I was addressing the part about him telling me not to take him seriously.

And no offense man, but our matches was our connection was the furthest thing from the "tiniest big of lag". It was hands down the worst lag I've experienced online.

Unless you can think of a better way to improve the connection speed, I can honestly say that we won't be playing more in the future.

bahn, I tried to play with you last night when I was on but your wouldnt accept my invite. Another time though. I need someone to lay down and lose a match with me so I can get a whole 5 wins in a row. :D

No offense taken, although it wasn't bad on my end. I played a bit with Korly after you, and unless he tells me otherwise, the connection seemed fine. Even so, one laggy session wouldn't make me say that I'd never play a game with someone again.

Hey Mog -- my bad. Wierd that I didn't even catch your invite. But yeah, next time. I will be off/on tonight so perhaps we'll catch up.

I hate playing random matches. If I beat someone they're all "omg ur button mashr" if I lose they're all "haha ur faggot".

Its really dull. More of you need to get doa and get online.

*shrug*

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I am not making it up. These latency issues aren't nothing new to me as they've been a huge problem in the online 2D fighters, MAME, Kaillera, etc. for years. The bottom line here is that on my end, the connection was horrible -- which is why I made the suggestion for you to host. Perhaps it was just a random issue that will be resolved the next time we play, but for the record -- I am not very tolerant of lag in fighters.

If you beat someone at your level you get 100z. If you beat someone at a higher level, you get more z based on the handicap. If you get a streak going, it adds 10 more z to every win until you max out at 200.

I have lots of z.

Any impressions out there for the official Arcade Stick? I really dig the new 360 pad and all, but I'm having trouble pulling off a few moves reliably with it and I'm giving some serious thought to investing in a stick. AFAIK there's only the DOA4 one available, but no way am I gonna dump $60.00 on it just to lug it home and find out its junk and get stuck with store credit at EB or Gamestop. Also, is the thing even wireless? I'd honestly prefer if it wasn't plastered with game specific graphics, but I'd take the plunge if it worked decent...

Thank MS for making every accessory have their Nazi-ass chip in it. Otherwise, there would be stick choices and better deals.

I can use said stick on my pc, it wins.

I'm not sure how well it works, but I've been told it's pretty good (On zboz2k, and pc)

Do you guys remember the X-Arcade and how it was supposed to be future-proof? I asked the company when they were going to release an Xbox 360 adapter. Here's their response:

It is still going to be some time before we have an adapter for this console.

Is hacking a 360 controler any harder than hacking apart any other controler?

If the answer is no then everyone needs to just build their own stick and silence their vagina.

Maybe, because Microsoft is not allowing any third-parties to create a 360 controller without their approval. I have no idea if the 360 checks to see if an attached controller is approved or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft did that.

Nonetheless, it shouldn't take long before the hackers succeed in making controller adapters, but I hope a good one is made with headset functionality so that I can wreck fools and talk trash with my SFAC stick.

I am actually picking that up today, so I can provide personal impressions either late tonight or tomorrow.

Although I've actually grown accustomed to the pad, there are a few commands that as you've noted would be less difficult using a stick. As for your concern with the stick -- I am certain that it's kickass. To date, Hori's products are highly praised for their quality and realiability.
