Playing a lot of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown has helped form a better understanding of what could be done about this - because there are characters in that game that have a kind-of universal set of counter-hold-style actions, but they're not universal to the entire cast (just the high/mid/low counter input is shared among characters that have these actions) - a few characters have them as a useful (and potentially very dangerous) part of their kit, but it never really has the same presence that it does in DOA even on those characters, largely because everything else the game does is so fine-tuned at this point. I don't really agree with this direction from a design standpoint, personally. The idea behind that having to choose between four ways, rather than three, would make it less of a "guessing" game and more about knowing the opponent's character and getting a good read on the opponent themselves. Four-way holds and a tighter hold window were both implemented to make it have a higher skill level and help alleviate concerns with a more serious competitive fighting game community, where DOA's presence has always been weaker.
However, one of the common complaints about DOA as a series, with regards to this mechanic, is that three-way holds are too easy to pull off, relative to the payoff - to the point where in some entries, it can be seen as essentially a losing move to try and go on the offense, since counter holds are so powerful. It has the added benefit of making it so that a player in a combo state is still involved in the game (this was the explicit design intention behind combo breakers in KI, in addition to the mind games aspect): In DOA, you can attempt to do a hold at most points as you're not currently launched. Perhaps this may entice you to buy and play the game? In any case, do check out our review here (we kinda liked it) and our short video below.Click to shrink.The hold system is kind of the core of what made DOA feel like DOA - and it's not really intended to be something you necessarily always do on reaction (though you certainly can, depending on the situation) - kinda like combo breakers (and other mechanics) in Killer Instinct - it's intended to provide a lower-execution-barrier entry into the mind-game aspect.

However, there are a finite number of quests and only so many costume parts to toss around. DOA 6’s crème de la crème, the outfits and costumes, will take less time to unlock thanks to a new update.Īs mentioned on our review, players can gain costume parts by 3-starring missions in DOA Quest.
