Will DOA6 be beginner friendly in terms of entry?

[Janus Whistler]

I already know fighting games are probably one the most complex genres in gaming. I play a lot of FPS games, and this fighting game looks interesting. Since I don't have the Switch, I play SBB4 (2D fighting game) time to time. Not sure if this would be a good first 3D fighting game.

DOA is the easiest 3D fighting out there & full of fun too, the game mechanism isn't really that hard, its a basic Rock paper scissor game

DoA already was easy to pick up, DoA 6 goes one step further. The inputs are not difficult, generally, and it's easy to play defensively. They added meter in this one so you can do a flashy combo with SSS and finish it off (if you have meter) with a devastating blow. You can also use half meter to hold anything and turn the game around in your favour

They've shown off a basic tutorial that gives an overview of how to play. Hopefully they include the detailed tutorial from DoA5 and the helpful combo challenges / command training.

I never really played any 3D fighters seriously before DoA5LR and I found it easy to pick up. It doesn't play like other fighters so as long as you don't approach it with that mindset you should have a good time

DOA6 will have a 1 button auto combo.

You can't get more beginner friendly than that.

doa only has 2 attack buttons.

To be honest, it's just the H+P+K macro renamed to S. It's the same button and everything. The first hit is always a high and it's very slow, can be held/blocked/Side Stepped. However, if you get hit then you're completely stunned and take all the damage, including the break blow if they have full meter

BUT

If you're on the recieving end, and didn't block or hold the first strike, you can still use "Break Hold" to escape, which requires meter.

I already have 2 characters I want to try out which is Honoka (sub) and Marie Rose (main). I had a bad experience in pre-ordering games so I don't do that anymore. Should I buy it on day 1 or wait until a couple days?

It's always better to wait and see how it fares through reviews. You won't miss out on any early purchase bonuses if you buy within the first month.

Just to clarify, this is just on PC. On PS4/Xbox One you need to pre-order to get Nyotengu (but they also have exclusive bonuses that PC doesn't, Hayabusa outfit for Xbox, Theme for PS4)

hmmm, my waifus are in the game by default so idc. XD If the PC port is bad, I luckily have a PS4 just in case. I like Honoka and Marie because of DOAX VV btw. Also watched a couple gameplay videos on them from DOA5LR.

I previously played Honoka in DOA5LR and Marie Rose was my main for most of my time with it. I must say that both have really got a lot of cool move additions, Honoka more so. Looking forward to trying them both out again in DoA 6
