DOA: Ultimate Official Thread

EDIT: what is the number, I called the one on the site, but that isn't the store, wtf.

I can't remember, when I called the site, the lady was really nice and gave me the number for the store and I can't remember where I put it.

On another note, did anybody's TRU get this in yet?

Yo I'm F$%^&* pissed man, Tecmo still hasn't shipped my copy. WTF. I want the Kasumi doll, but f that shit, I'm gonna buy it at EB tonight.

You know what really sucks? GS has the kasumi dolls. The assistant manager at ours is my friend, so he gave me one. It's pretty well made, tiny though.

Toysrus won't have this until "hopefully tommorrow" the stupid employee drone told me, he didn't even know what it was until I told him =/

So hopefully tommorrow I can be playing this.

The Kasumi doll is like 2 inches tall, so don't sweat over it.

Is there any kind of DOA fan page like Tekken Zaibatsu or SHoryuken.com that has good DOA strategy and/or vids? I'd like to learn some of the cheese before I go online and get cheesed on.

[FuryFox]

What do you think we've been talking about?

[ssbomberman]

lol...yo I live in the middle of PA and it is devoid of GS...this sucks...all i get are 2 freaking EBs...and all the other crap like walmart and stuff...

I'm gonna wait for the doll, buy it from EB, get the doll and game from Tecmo, take the sealed copy from Tecmo and return it to EB...bam!

I could stand to improve my game as well. But it's fun enough for me that I'll happily go online tonight and receive my share of beat-downs.

Gamefaqs has complete move lists for just about every character, as well as home-brew combos. However, aside from some launcher combos that you may not have known about, I'm not sure how valuable all that info is. If you really want to win, you just need a solid mix-up game that is not overly dependent on reversible combos. For me, I'd rather just try something that looks cool if I happen to pull it off -- which is why I have a tendency to get slaughtered.

The only thing I dread about returning to DOA 2 is the movement. The characters move forward and backward INCREDIBLY slow. They shuffle. They should at least walk, or shuffle faster than an elderly woman with the flu.

[Tigana]

Damn, they jipped Jann Lee out of all the moves he got in 3

Also, Furyfox you can't throw crouching characters in this game. Are you sure you can do it in 3?

Anyway, I'll will be on tonight again at around 8:30, hopefully I will play a couple of you guys tonight.

[FuryFox]

Yes, every character can low throw in 3. Grapplers have multiple and/or more powerful versions. I just assumed 2 had it as well, but I haven't played 2 since the DC.
