Stun System Changes:
There's a new attack titled the "Critical Burst." This is where one or more moves of a character performs a special stun if the opponent was at full stun threshold when connecting.
The "Critical Burst" puts a character into a deep fall forward standing stun that is not able to be held out, in effect allowing for a free hit of anything from a launcher to a power blow.
The "Critical Burst" is just a normal attack from the character and can generally be initiated at max threshold. It is notable when the "Critical Burst" connects as a puff of smoke appears after the hit.
Any time the character is in a critical stun that has their feet off the ground (i.e Sit down, lift, trip stuns) the opponent is not able to hold out of the stun until feet have returned to standing.
Guard Breaks and Guard Crushes can't be held out of immediately like Dead or Alive 4, this is because of the above listed change where the opponent can't hold until both feet are on the ground. This can allow for some guaranteed followups after a guard break.
The stun threshold (Critical State) has been returned to the lifebars. This is probably due to the importance of the "Critical Burst" attack in the game.
Characters have options to allow a normal hit launcher and still get decent juggle damage. This is something that was more prevalent in the earlier Dead or Alive games.

First, let me clarify something for those who aren't familiar with terminology for the Dead or Alive series: the term "stun" is not typically the same as it is in other fighting games where one automatically assumes your opponent can't do anything in said "stun." Dead or Alive has a meta game inside of its "stun" system called the "Critical State" system. There is a difference between a "hit stun" and a "critical stun." With the exception of Dead or Alive 4, all Dead or Alive games have made it so that you can't hold out of hit stun, but you could defensive hold ("counter") out of critical stun after a certain amount of time is spent in the critical stun animation. Dead or Alive 4 changed this rule (sort of) by removing that forced delay you had while you were in a critical stun, effectively allowing you to defensive hold out of any critical stun at a moment's notice and sometimes putting you at a frame advantage over the offensive player. When you hear Dead or Alive players use the term "stun," they are typically talking about a critical stun. It appears that the critical stun system has been making strides to return back to the Dead or Alive 2 and Dead or Alive 3 system: critical stuns are less frequent than Dead or Alive 4 allowed and the delay for defensive holding out of them has started to be restored.

I can easily say that there are two major factors in this build that completely change the meta game: (1) the "Critical Burst" attack and (2) stuns that do not allow holds while feet are off the ground.

These two things can completely change the meta game. I have a feeling that there is more to the "Critical Burst" than what we have been told so far. However, as I understand it now, a character can potentially put another in a guaranteed combo due to the amount of ways one can put the other into such a situation. Rikuto hinted at this in his commentary where he can do one guess, I'm presuming the initial starting critical stun hit, combo it into a guaranteed critical stun combo that ends with a "Critical Burst." Then the character can do a free launcher or "Power Blow." Either option could allow the character to cause a knock back into a danger zone or fall towards a ground game scenario. Rikuto suggested Bayman could do such a thing and knock off 50% of a character's life with such a setup. I imagine other characters could do the same.

The critical state is something to be feared now due primarily to both of the changes I've mentioned. The opponent is now unable to defensive hold out of every situation and the "Critical Burst" is something that rewards a player for knowledge of their character, the critical stun system, and the environment. This will make the game rely more on poke strings than previous titles have; Dead or Alive 3.1/3.2 were probably the closest to matching such a meta game.

ну ожно и так, но смысл там был примерно "это же круто, разве нет?")
