That's the only reason you will always get countered EVEN IF YOU USE NEW MOVES. All team ninja games are now rigged for next gen. DO NOT TRUST ITAGAKI. HE ADD CHEAP AI TO ALL 3 NEXT GEN GAME SUCH AS DOA$, DOAX2, and NG2.
I think the problem was their earlier games were so easy that they felt they needed to rev up the difficulty ... sadly they did too much. Although I doubt the AI can read your controller.
The AI really does read your controller. As proof I was able to do 5 high kicks on kasumi one time without being countered yet that second I did a low kick I get countered. The AI reacts to what buttons you press. At times even in (my fav game) Ninja Gaiden black the AI would read your combos pressed and responed with a TOO PERFECT grab time. That's why the AI like cat fiends are programming to attack you onlanding because that dumb ass Itagaki knows people use onlanding UTs a lot. Thats how team ninja makes their games hard by making the AI read your controller. WITH EVERY NEW GAME ITAGAKI TAKES OUT OR CHANGES MOVES THAT WORKED WELL ON ENEMIES.
I am currently playing DOA Ultimate 2 and I find the AI reading my moves because I only lose when they counter my attacks and strike back. No matter the difficulty I can win Except when they counter my moves. I block efficiently, and attack at the right time, but I lose because they always counter.
