I got DOA4, but the thing is, last experience i have with DOA4 is that, the lag is noticable. Jerky and you're unable to play other players other than those who are close enough to you. Otherwise matches like slideshow only.....

I even had trouble finding matches hosted by the local players. Tecmo should fix their online system, provide patch or something for these glitches.

Actually very easy. I got my Tengu after a few scuffles on Time Attack characters.....not that Tengu's any more powerful than the rest, if you're familiar with many iterations of DOA3 before you can track his moves for miles. I just wish he has that ultra cool climate-changing special retained from DOA3....

Im scared to play DOA4 already, i never have a smooth connections , be it locally or against regionally-hosted match. All mesti slideshow punya.....

I never download anything when im on Live, the game just hates me....., same casee with RR6. Maybe i'd give it another chance once i get back home from my movie tonight.....sigh

Yoroi, the way i did mine was VARIETY. Dont stick to one particular combo string, vary them. Also vary the altitude of which the attacks hit. And once you hit the round 5,6 , the COM AI gets cheap with reversals. Counter them back with your own. Last boss? Depending on character i choose, if the character has a long range , fairly fast priority attacks, i use those. Otherwise, i waited till that b1tch teleports and launch my combo strings. Again, vary the altitude, the b1tch likes to counter a lot. Good luck!

I stopped once i got my last unlocked character already. Playing into a hosted match always get people scolding me for lagging their games. Sigh.......

I ngot the same problem last night, until i missed their game sessions. What i did was keep on trying, and keep doing the update. In the background, the update is downloading, but the connection will be severed every time, but not until you have downloaded a portion of the update. Once you have done the update a couple of time (even with unsuccessful message coming out), the game will have the update content and let you into Live, like what happened to me. Dont give up, the update is downloading, albeit slowly......

Quick jabs, and higher priority attacks works. DO NOT do the dial-a-combos. Vary your attacks, and if you want to do combos, find those that hit at multiple altitudes.
