DOA is short for Dead or Alive (the video game). If you are confused, please refer to the post before your own in which you said "the list has been updated."

Shaddow, what else can I compare it to? DOA and simbattling have the most similarities than any other online game.

I agree with Shuyin on the fact that the trainee would probably end up copying the trainer. I made this example before and I'll make it again. It's like Xbox live, especially with DOA: Ultimate. You pick a certain character and pull of a certain move which seems to be very effective at the time and a newbie will always follow your footsteps, picking the same character and using the same move over and over again without fully understanding why he did it in the first place. I know this first hand when I played against my friend in DOA3.
I chose Jann Lee and I whooped his ass using just two moves. In the next round, he chose Jann Lee as his character and just to make it fun, I chose Hitomi. He copied my moves exactly but still got his ass whooped because he had no idea why I used the Lee moves the way I did.

A new simbattler should rely on himself to gain his own unique style but maybe have a trainer help to further develop his technique.

Should trainers also be people with belts/titles? If they have that belt/title then they have most definitely earned it so perhaps a chance to be trainers as well. I am merely suggesting this, because hell, I don't wanna train anyone, I would need to be trained on how to train someone.
