She is an MMA fighter, but the funny thing is that some of her moves violate the rules of MMA, such as hitting her elbows and knees to the head.

Obviously the series identity involves its fan service to a degree but there's also the depth, the triangle system not to mention one of the best tutorials in it's genre to teach you the game. DOA 5 what got me into the fighting game community but Tekken is always going to be my first love.

Always happy to see Dead or Alive pop up on this channel. Great exploration of a range of character's fighting styles and the body diagrams at 1:42 and 12:33 really helped with the explanations.

I hope this reaches you; but if you ever come back for a part two, you should check out Mila's throws, holds, and strikes.

I think we are missing a lot of good explanations because of the choices made in this video, unlike in the T7 video you made. People in the comment have already talked about Mila missing, even though she is the MMA girl, but I think showcasing characters like Helena, who uses Pigua quan could have been a good opportunity to talk about an uncommon fighting style. Also, many of the moves used here were strikes, mostly break blows and Fatal Rushes, even though DOA is known for its triangle system with hold and throws, this could have given him chances to elaborate on something else than the striking side of fighting, especially when there isn't much to say about standard uppercuts, spinning kick and big boot to the face, even when you are as knowledgeable as him. I wouldn't mind a part 2 with characters like Tamaki (Aikido), Eliott or Kokoro (Ba Ji Quan), Helena (Pigua quan), obviously Mila (MMA) and Lei Fang (Taiji quan).

For a channel built around video game analysis, the person or people responsible for their fighting game footage don't seem to be that knowledgeable about the games. Not that it likely matters, as my guess is they aren't being paid to be knowledgeable, but rather just being paid to generate a certain amount of video footage as quickly and cheaply as possible. Throw in a game, spend 30 minutes capturing footage of the basic moves (and specials) of a handful of characters, then edit it into a shorter highlight package to be shown to the person doing the analysis.

Love this guy !

Mine was DoA 2. You want to take Ayane on this one.

so to add onto what he said about TKD, you get extra points for spinning kicks, and kicks to the head... since theyre pretty hard to pull off on a ready opponent(dont let the compilations fool you)

I love watching RJ and his analysis on Martial Arts in fighting games. Hopefully we bring him back to do some more of the Tekken series or some of the other fighters. Would love to see his take on them

Love you videos

I love this guy! It'd be an absolute treat to see him analyze the combat in Lost Judgment

very informative

There are enough characters to do a 2nd video (if they haven't already): -Brad Wong_Drunken Fist (maybe bring comparisons to Jackie Chan) -Helena Douglas_Piga quan -Kokoro_Baji quan (same style as Akira Yuki from Virtua Fighters) -Lisa/La Mariposa_Lucha Libre -Eliot_Xinyi liuhe quan -Lei Fang_Taiji quan He could also analyze the styles of the ninja characters in the game.

I would love to see RJ take a look at Absolver since that game is essentially all about mixed martial arts in the most literal way

Can you please get another MMA Fighter to react on Dead or Alive 5: Last Round?

actually makes sense that jan lee would be using the more cinematic version of jeet kun do since he canonically learned the moves from watching the movies as a kid

Most people just trash on Systema, I'm glad we're seeing it in a positive light

We need Martial Artists to react ti SIFU, I want to see the reactions of Gemma Nguyen and Yoshi Sudarso, I love when those 2 are together

this is SICK. love doa

Would of loved to see him review Kasumi and Ayane too xD

Get this guy to look at Fights in Tight Spaces, it'd be a blast

I would like him to react to the Bourne Identity game that would be gold

Please, part 2 with the remaining fighters!

I just love how I thought Marie was fighting like a child in a aggressive way 🤣

Fun Fact: Bass Armstrong is based on Hulk Hogan. And for Zack's Muay Thai style is self taught.

Im sure youve already heard but yeah....was really expecting to see Mila. Vid was fantastic, love how he brought in some of the history. No lie, with where his expertise lie, you could possibly do an entire video with him and a Mila breakdown. Maybe take him through the command training (which is just a checklist showcase of all the moves a character has) or have someone there to do the command training. (being isolated to the training stage may give you some reservations, but the overall content will be so much better, trust me it wont be a hinderance)

Marie Rose systema martial correct at 5T throw near wall (neutral throw) which she pull you to wall and punch your heart just by one shot and you got a lot of damage from that punch, very hurt. In real-life, that punch can take your heart stop beat and you can die after that, it really break your bone and heart

Hell yeah! Absolver next!

"I've never seen double reverse elbows" The actual first move you learn in karate is the double reverse elbow, AKA both fists chambered.

We need a video with him and gemma or Noah. Also still waiting for that DMC reaction. The architects reacting to mass effect would be cool.

I wanna see Gemma and Noah react to sifu

Style points in Taekwondo in the Olympics?!?! That sounds awesome!!!!

Considering Hitomi's fighting style it's Shotokan Karate with some elements of Kyokushin Karate thrown in, and according to the canon her mastery of Karate comes from the fact she's been undergoing intense Karate training under her strict Karate Master Father since she was a little girl, and hasn't stopped her training at all, in fact in DOA5's storyline when training with her best friend the Chinese martial artist/circus performer Lei-Feng for the 5th DOA tournament at the circus ring she did a flying kick that was so strong that the force alone KO'd a full-grown male tiger even though Hitomi didn't actually hit the big cat.

Zach does have an Mui Tai outfit and he’s self taught

at first I thought it was going to be a video bashing DoA...but I like the appreciation....makes me love the game more

I expected to see the powerful Ryu Hayabusa in the video, an analysis in his style would have been interesting

What DOA does really great is the "hold" - counter-attack - mechanics, which not only sets up a nice rock-paper-scissors dynamics with the strikes and clinches, but also looks dope as hell, since every character has different animations for countering a punch or a kick at the different heights. You can just watch a list of those moves one by one, and it would be glorious.

I would love to see RJ react to the fighting in Virtua Fighter 5. I love that game so much, and it'd be cool to see his thoughts on the game

We need that sifu react now I know it’s gonna be great

I like this guy he knows his stuff

I like this video.

Hey, RJ! Thanks for another awesome video. Could you next react to the fighting style from Marvel's Spider-Man, please?

They should've showcased the counter system more, especially for Bayman, as it shows more of the Sambo submissions/holds.

I feel like I'm learning so much

Calls Bayman a sicko, hes been my favorite character since DoA came out on the PS1 back in the 90's. I call him Breakman because he breaks everything.

I think they forgot Pencak Silat, Indonesian's martial arts that NiCO used

Props to Gamology for giving spotlight to DOA! I tend to say nasty things about footage selection you guys do for these videos when it comes to DOA, but hey, you do, and that's something.

3:52 - From what I remember, Rig's a bit of a villain character so he plays a bit fast and loose with the "rules" of the martial art. Best example, is he has a move where he'll pause in a stance with one knee raised like he's going to do a snap kick - which makes the opponent think to block a low attack, at which point he hits them with an overhead elbow strike they didn't see coming. It's very much a fake-out attack, a feint if you will. 10:51 - Funny you should mention Zack's clothing, since in at least four games before this one, his default outfit has been fairly muay thai-styled with the shorts and wristwraps and such.

I just want to show appreciation that you kept on topic and didn't slide in even one of the typical cheap jokes about the DOA series somewhere in there or provide some juvenile reaction for laughs. Surprised you didn't cover the one actual MMA fighter in the game though (Mila). And pretty much every character has costumes that are traditional to their fighting style as well as casual wear, so you can play as Zack in muai thai style clothing.
