Dead or Alive 2

Краткий обзор игры

Dead or Alive 2 — вторая глава знаменитого трехмерного файтинга, который не только обзавелся внушительным списком поклонников, но и долгое время удерживал конкуренцию с легендарной «Mortal Kombat». В чем же заключается причина подобной популярности? Во первых, практически идеальный графический движок, который способен дать фору любому другому представителю жанра. Во вторых, поистине зубодробительный игровой процесс, где зрелищность и жестокость чередуется с идеальным балансом персонажей и бесчисленным количеством комбо-ударов. И наконец в третьих, это кардинальная смена приоритетов в работе над жанром. Если при создании вышеупомянутого «MK», разработчики старались сделать ключевую ставку на насилие и мрачный антураж, то «Dead or Alive» решила пойти по несколько другому пути. Вместо брутальных и кровожадных громил — десятки сексапильных девиц, вместо темного и гнетущего антуража — красочные арены и золотистые пляжи, а на место зрелищной боёвки. впрочем здесь все осталось практически без изменений. Такой запомнилась миру «Dead or Alive 1» и именно такой сохранился в памяти игроков ее долгожданный сиквел.

Вторая глава сохранила в себе все достоинства оригинала и возвела привычный игровой процесс на качественно новый уровень: еще больше отважных красавиц, полностью переработанный графический движок, улучшенная система комбо-ударов, а также десятки разнообразие локаций — лишь малый перечень того, что ждет вас внутри. Как ни крути, но именно сиквел «Dead or Alive» по-прежнему остается одной из лучших игр в данной линейки. Добро пожаловать в мир «горячих» побоищ и фирменного безумия!

Похоже, что Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 получилась полнейшим отстоем. Об этом свидетельствуют низкие оценки к сервисе Metacritic.

Video Game / Dead or Alive

Edit Locked

A big, bouncy 3D Fighting Game franchise akin to Tekken and Virtua Fighter. Even though the male fighters (initially) outnumber the female fighters by a slim margin, it’s the women who are the real stars of the show.

The actual story is about the dealings of the sinister DOATEC corporation, who hold the Dead or Alive tournament as a front to finance the genetic research in creating the ultimate fighter. A runaway ninja named Kasumi gets tangled in the struggle, using the tournament as a means of escape and to look for her lost brother Hayate, and take revenge on her traitorous uncle, Raidou. Other characters enter the tournament for their own personal reasons, but all get sucked into DOATEC’s larger scheme. Ayane, who is also looking for Hayate, is required to kill her half-sister Kasumi (as desertion from a ninja clan is punishable by death); Ryu Hayabusa (remember him?) is looking for him as well; Hayate is trying to recover the memories he lost after being experimented on by DOATEC; Zack’s just doing it for the money; and it builds steam from there. Later on, the story shifts towards Helena Douglas, who is the daughter of the original leader of DOATEC, Fame Douglas, and the current heiress to the DOATEC chair. She plays a key role in the scheme of the real villain, Victor Donovan, who secretly aspires to control DOATEC from the shadows.

Of course, nobody plays the game for that. They play the game for. well, another reason.

Despite the vast quantities of Jiggle Physics, the game actually has a great deal of independent merit of its own, being much more fast-paced and kinetic than the 3D fighters that it competes with while remaining technical and reasonably well-balanced. It’s generally considered in the top-tier of 3D fighting games, along with Virtua Fighter, Tekken and the Soul series.

After the fights, the women tend to get together and play beach volleyball in a spinoff series called «Dead or Alive: Xtreme«. Starting from Xtreme 2, there are also other activities like jet skiing in addition to the volleyball component.

Though sometimes shortened to DOA, not at all to be confused with the Film Noir D.O.A. (which is quite lacking in mostly visible breasts in comparison). Additional things that this should not be confused with can be found on Dead or Alive. For the viewer’s inconvenience, the 2006 film adaptation of the games is titled DOA: Dead or Alive, instead. Also, the franchise should never be confused with the ’80s group of the same name, who performed the memelicious «You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)».

Get ready, tropes!

  • Achievement Mockery: Dead or Alive 4 has the «20 Straight Losses in DOA Online» achievement. As you can guess, it requires you to lose 20 times in a row in online matches.
  • Advertising Campaigns:
    • The beloved/infamous «She kicks high.» commercial for Dead or Alive 3.
    • Dead or Alive 5 called its promotional push «I’m a Fighter».
  • Age-Inappropriate Dress: Every game before 5 had this. You could beat teenage girls in skimpy clothes to unconsciousness, and most of the prone KO states would have all their panties exposed. ( In 5, you need to move the camera yourself to see their panties in the defeat animations.)
  • All Just a Dream:
    • Kasumi’s Dead or Alive 4 ending, where she dreams of being a mermaid.
    • The opening of Bass’ story chapter in 5 has him riding down the road on his Cool Bike, then there’s an explosion on the oil rig he works on.
  • All There in the Manual:
    • The PlayStation version of the original Dead or Alive contained nothing resembling a story. Not in the game, anyway. The backstory is told through rather tiny text written on the outer edges of the pages over the course of the entire instruction manual insert in the jewel case.
    • The second game isn’t much of an improvement; while there are now cutscenes between the fighting, they’re incredibly short and only provide the bare minimum of the plot. Kasumi’s story mode is particularly egregious: Something about a Kasumi clone, Hayabusa wants her to stop her mission, Ayane wants to eliminate her, Kasumi thinks Hayate is her brother. all rather perplexing if you just go by what the game presents you with.
  • Amazing Technicolor Battlefield: vs. Omega/Genra.
  • And Now for Someone Completely Different: In the story mode for Dimensions, the first four chapters go over the events of the series from the point of view of the ninja characters. The fifth and final chapter re-tells the events from the second game on from Helena’s perspective.
  • And Your Reward Is Clothes: A staple in the series. Xtreme is slightly different in that you get money from completing various objectives (winning in volleyball; completing the pool hopping game; etc.), which you can then use to buy a swimsuit of your choice.
  • Anime Chinese Girl:
    • Lei Fang.
    • Pai Chan as well in Dead or Alive 5.
  • Anti-Hero: Ayane and Bayman.
  • Armor-Piercing Slap: In Dimensions, we see 4 examples of this in the Chronicle mode cinematics. Considering this is a fighting game, the way the victims recoil in response looks kind of weird.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Jann Lee, for whom fighting was a way to escape the miserable circumstances he grew up in. Sometimes it seems the only way to gain his respect is to beat him in a fight.
  • Art Evolution: In every game thanks to improving hardware, but Dead or Alive 6 takes the cake for now, with a brand-new engine that can display even more realistic details then what was possible before.
    • The “Soft Engine” that Team Ninja debuted on the PS4/One version for DOA5 Last Round (sadly not the same for PC), not only made the girls have a new type of jiggle physics but also made their models noticeably curvier, comparing Ayane’s base model from Last Round to her model in Xtreme 3, one can see the difference right away.
  • Artistic Age: Exploited; the localized games refuses to give away the ages of the characters who were minors: Kasumi, Ayane, Kokoro and Eliot. For the girls, this was due to the fact that they’re exploited to extreme cases of Ms. Fanservice by wearing revealing to downright fetish clothing, and due to Values Dissonance in the West, it wouldn’t stick well for 16-17 year olds to be seen this way. Done away with in 5, which explicitly takes place two years after Dead or Alive 4, so everyone is now 18 or older (although the game doesn’t state the ages of the characters anymore). See the character pages for details.
    • In an interview, Tomonobu Itagaki explained that, while in the West it’s seen acceptable in media to sexualize women from 18-20 years old, in Japan it’s acceptable from 16-18 years old. However, for a lot of people, that explanation didn’t cut it. For some, it made things even worse.
    • Played straight with Helena, Christie, Tina and Lisa. With their rather mature looks and personalities, you’d think they’d be in their late 30s but they’re all only in their 20s, with the “youngest” being Helena at 23 and Christie being the “oldest” at 26 (this also makes her the oldest female character in the series, not counting Nyotengu). Rachel could also be included here, but since her age is unknown, there is a possibility that she’s probably as old as she looks.
  • Badass Back:
    • Ayane has a whole set of moves based on this, Kokoro has this as well.
    • Brad Wong also has quite a few backward attacks as well. Then again, it’s all part of the Drunken Master style of fighting.
  • Badass Normal: Regular old teenagers who fight for fun can hold their own against ninjas, mystical superpowered beings and a genetically altered interdimensional clone of one of aforementioned ninjas .
  • Barbie Doll Anatomy: Both played straight and averted with the female fighters, depending on the game.
  • Barely-There Swimwear: Numerous examples in the Xtreme series, with the greatest example being the Venus swimsuit, which is basically some string and some gemstones.
  • Battle Butler: Christie, to Helena in 3.
  • Battle in the Rain: It’s always raining on the Burai Zenin stage in DOA2U.
  • Beach Episode: The Xtreme subseries is one big Beach Episode. Fanservice is cranked Up to 11 here. There are no men to be seen (except Zack, and 3 even goes as far to maximally restrict him as well), swimsuits are everything and the bouncing volleyballs are the main attraction.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Played straight in the first four titles, but averted in Dead or Alive 5, where everyone becomes relatively dirty and grimy by the time the fight’s over and stays that way for the rest of the match; of course, the player can turn that detail off in the options.
  • Between My Legs: Christie’s ending in Dead or Alive 4.
  • Beware the Nice Ones:
    • Gen Fu is really a sweet old man. But if you cross him, watch out.
    • The same goes for Kasumi, Kokoro and Eliot.
  • Big Damn Heroes:
    • Zack in Helena’s Dead or Alive 4 ending.
    • Ryu in Dimensions during Kasumi vs. Kasumi Alpha and Ayane & Hayate vs. Omega .
  • Bloodless Carnage: Characters give and take some pretty severe beatings with nothing to show for it. Unsurprising, given the aim. This is eventually averted in DOA6, where the characters do bleed when taking hits to the face.
  • Body Horror: The series isn’t sold on it like some other fighting games, but a lot of the attacks do result in grotesque, unnatural, and violent angles for body parts to end up in. Take◊the◊leg◊ and ankle of NiCO here. If her leg and ankle bent like that in real life, her knee and ankle would be hanging on by a thread inside. There’s a very real possibility she’d need an amputation from the knee down, or at least heavy reconstructive surgery.
  • Boobs of Steel:
    • Even by Dead or Alive standards, Tina’s boobs are huge and she’s also physically the strongest girl in the game.
    • DOA 5 Ultimate gives us Rachel, who’s not only strong canon-wise, but is also arguably one of the best characters in the game.
    • Last Round brings a new champion with Honoka, who not only has the biggest chest in the cast, but her fight style is very based on physical strength, despite her slender figure.
  • Boss Rush: Arcade course 6 in Dimensions plays like one of these, culminating with a battle against a Secret Character on a Secret Stage.
  • Bowdlerization: In Dimensions, Ayame’s flashback to being raped by Raidou doesn’t have the sideboob shot that originally appeared in the Dead or Alive 2: Ultimate intro movie.
  • Brainwashed:
    • Ein, who after being dumped by the villains is revealed to be Hayate, Kasumi’s brother, Ayane’s half-brother, Shiden’s and Ayame’s son.
    • Genra in Dead or Alive 3. Though Dimensions revealed he was just evil.
    • Ayane in Dimensions.
  • Brawn Hilda: Spartan-458.
  • Breakout Character:
    • Ryu Hayabusa, who at the time of the original Dead or Alive, was a mere classic character that hadn’t been seen for years; simply put, a Guest Fighter for old timers. Come the revival of the Ninja Gaiden series in 2004, Ryu’s popularity soared. This success would be passed (or give it back) to Dead or Alive itself. Now, Ryu is heavily integrated to the plot, to the point of arguably being a main character himself.
      • With heavy inclusion of Ayane on the Ninja Gaiden side in return.
    • Both Marie and Honoka rapidly soared in popularity polls after their introduction, eventually resulting in the duo replacing Kasumi and Ayane on the cover art for both versions of DOAX3 — a feat previously unmanaged by any other character. Honoka is later revealed in Dead or Alive 6 to be Ayane’s half-sister and Kasumi’s cousin.
  • Bribing Your Way to Victory: For a given value of victory. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 has you unlock clothing for the girls while you play it which serves no other function in order to make the already fanservicy sandbox-game more fanservicy. Too lazy to work for your fap? You can buy a girl’s complete set using real-world money. Oh, and all of this only lasts until you reset the game’s save slot, of which it only has one. So restarting the game on that particular account meant having blown your cash for nothing.
  • Briefs Boasting: Even some of the less boastful characters wear extremely small underwear.
  • Bruce Lee Clone:
    • Jann Lee. Considering Jann is an Ascended Fanboy of Lee, it makes perfect sense.
    • Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate adds another who doesn’t look like Bruce Lee: Jacky Bryant from Virtua Fighter.
  • But Not Too Foreign: Hitomi is Japanese with a German father; Kokoro is the child of DOA sponsor Fame Douglas and a Japanese geisha.
  • Cain and Abel: Ayane has to kill her sister Kasumi because of her clan’s code which Kasumi broke. Raidou has also tried to murder his brother Shiden.
  • Canon Immigrant:
    • Spartan-458, who was somehow allowed into the Dead or Alive canon via Applied PhlebotinumTime Travel. Also notable in that she was not only the first female Spartan to be depicted in a video game, but the first Spartan ever seen on the Xbox 360 (Halo 3 was released a year later). Unusually, she’s never actually appeared in any canon Halo media; she was specifically created for Dead or Alive 4.
    • Rio of Rio -Rainbow Gate!- was added to Dead or Alive Paradise as both a dealer in the casino and a unlockable character. She originated as the mascot of the Super Blackjack series of Pachi-slo games (a slot machine designed to bypass Japanese laws against gambling). Also, Tecmo co-developed the Super Blackjack series with pachi-slo maker Net.
    • Irene Lew from Ninja Gaiden finally made her long awaited, but sadly non-playable, appearance in ‘Dimensions’.
    • Similar to Ryu’s crossover, Momiji from Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword and Rachel from Ninja Gaiden enter the fray with Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate as canonical characters.
  • Cat Fight: A huge draw of the series is to get attractive girls to brutally beat each other to unconsciousness, all while exposing as much skin and panties as possible.
  • Ceiling Smash: Certain characters can throw characters into the ceiling in certain stages. Also in the fifth game any character can do this via power launcher again depending on the stage.
  • Charles Atlas Superpower: Pretty much the entire cast seeing as how they can take on Ninja Gaiden tier super ninjas. Jann Lee gets special mention for punching out a T-Rex onscreen.
  • Cherry Blossoms: Kasumi’s motif.
  • Chick Magnet: Zack, who buys an island that sets the tone for the Xtreme side-series. Why does he do it? Because he can. One case is justified because at the end of 4 he saves Helena, who transferred her win in the tournament to him.
  • Combo Breaker: There are holds, which can be performed in most stuns from DOA2 onwards. Using the correct hold will usually reward you with damage and a knockdown, depending on the character, and timing the hold correctly will grant more damage. Cue lots of hold spamming during stun. Although, if the attacker thinks the opponent will hold, they can stop their combo and use a throw, which will do 150% damage to a holding opponent. Against some characters, that’s over half your health gone.
  • Combos: Juggle combos are present but on the ground, you need to be a little more wary than most fighting games due to Holds that can be done during a string of attacks.
  • Comic-Book Time: For the first four games. As of 5, the cast has all officially aged two years.
  • Confusion Fu: Brad Wong.
  • Contract on the Hitman: Kasumi (the assassin after her was at first primarily Ayane); from the third game onward, Bayman.
  • Continuity Snarl: Ryu Hayubusa’s timeline in regards to the NES Ninja Gaiden games, making it unclear when they happened and what his exact relationship with Irene Lew is.
  • Cool Boat: The Freedom Survivor. Introduced in Dimensions, it’s said to be the world’s largest cruise ship, and it serves as a floating headquarters for DOATEC used by Fame Douglas, Donovan and Helena in succession. And it seems to be more than a mere cruise ship, because it stores explosives in its cargo hold, and the expanse of black metal deck between the helipad and the superstructure is covered with what looks suspiciously like missile launcher hatches.
  • Counter-Attack: If it’s not the copious fanservice, this is what the series is most well known for. The game places heavy emphasis in attack interception and reversing an opponent’s offense.
  • Crossover: Dimensions featured the Pyrosphere from Metroid: Other M as a playable stage.
  • Cute Bruiser: Most of the females use Waif-Fu except for Tina Armstrong who is a pro wrestler, Hitomi who uses karate, Mila who is an MMA fighter and looks and fights just like real life cute bruiser Gina Carano, and the aggressive Rachel.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Mainly the ninja cast of characters (the good ones), especially in Dead or Alive 5. While the bad guys Victor Donovan and Christie are dressed in white, Kasumi, Ayane, Hayate and Hayabusa are all dressed in black. Ayane has also used her favorite/iconic dark purple.
  • Dating Sim: The Xtreme games are easily the best-known Dating Sim to the non-Japanese gaming market (and most people don’t even know that’s what they are).
  • Demoted to Extra: The «Chronicle» mode in Dimensions manages to include every major fighter from the entire series, but many characters only appear in one or two scenes. Some of the females have even been demoted to little more than Ms. Fanservice.
  • Dirty Old Man: The player can do this by putting their age up to the maximum to increases the Jiggle Physics. Also Brad Wong in-story.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Lei Fang to an unlucky(?) old man in her Dead or Alive 4 ending.
  • Dressed Like a Dominatrix:
    • One of Christie’s numerous outfits is clearly meant to evoke this, being a combination of long gloves, a bustier, fishnet stockings, and thigh-high boots.
    • Rachel retains her black leather leotard, thigh-high boots and opera gloves from Ninja Gaiden.
  • Drunken Master: Brad Wong.
  • Eagleland: Tina and Bass (a mixture of both types). Possibly Probably Zack too.
  • Early Installment Weirdness:
    • The original Dead or Alive featured ring outs and limited 3D movement. The edge of the ring would explode if you landed on it but otherwise the game was a very different beast from what followed. The rest of the series takes place in very real world-esque environments full of obstacles and uneven surfaces. There are walls and you can be knocked off of areas into lower areas (so no ring outs).
    • Tina’s voice in the first game, being much deeper than the games that followed. This is due to The Other Darrin.
  • Earn Your Fun: Dead or Alive 5 challenges the hardcore among the hardcore players if they want to unlock 3 extremely skimpy swimsuits for Tina, Christie and Lisa; the game features a whopping total of 8 levels of difficulty: Rookie, Easy, Normal, Hard, Champ, True Fighter, Master and Legend, with the last three being unlocked after the preceding difficulty is beaten; rest assured that your average player can’t go through Hard without losing continues, if you want those rare swimsuits you must mow through Legend (4 difficulties beyond Hard) without losing a single continue on Arcade for Tina’s, Time Attack for Christie’s and on Survival for Lisa’s. Simply put, it’s a nightmare to get these pieces of clothing for the girls. The computer on Legend is on an whole new level of reading and countering any attack the player tries to connect. Just beating this mode is a chore, but beating it without losing continues is absurd, and that’s not enough. Even though the task on Arcade and Time Attack is already beyond insane to complete, at the end of the day is just 8 Stages each. On Survival though, it’s 100 Stages. So yeah, even some of the most hardcore players stop at Tina and Christie’s swimsuits. Luckily it can be avoided by playing 200 online matches.
  • Edge Gravity: Starting with 2, walking to the edge of a surface incurs a hard stop for your character. You cannot walk yourself over a cliff, your character must be hit over the edge for it to trigger.
  • Even Bad Girls Love Their Adopted Fathers: Ayane; see Manly Tears below. She also shows a more tender and emotional side around her mother in Dimensions.
  • Excuse Plot:
    • Xtreme Beach Volleyball, which comes up with only barely justifiable reasons for the girls to be there.
    • Some of the fights between the relatively minor characters are started for some quite petty reasons, like Kokoro challenging Lisa for bumping into her in the street.
  • Expy:
    • Bass and Zack are clearly based on Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman, respectively. Why a basketball player is the basis for a character in a fighting game is a good question, until you remember that Rodman was a professional wrestler for a brief period.
    • In Dead or Alive 5, Kokoro looks exactly like Tifa in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
    • Nyotengu is basically a tengu version of Morrigan Aensland, and this is further referenced in two of her alt-costume colors.
    • Brad Wong looks strikingly similar to Sephiroth, also of FF7. that is, if Sephiroth were a filthy drunk.
  • Fanservice: «She kicks high», indeed. The only female character who avoids this is Nicole, the Distaff Counterpart of Halo‘s Master Chief. She still has a smoking hot body under the power armour, since her measurements are B49″ W30″ H41″.
  • Fanservice Model: In DOA2, Tina aspires to be a supermodel, for which she bleaches her hair blonde and dresses in skimpy outfits. She ends up having to fight her own father in the competition, and emerges victorious. She gets her wish and begins modeling on a television show.
  • Fanservice Pack: Irene Lew (confirmed to be Sonia from NG2 in Dimensions sure has changed compared to her rather plain original design; now she’s a Miss Universe like every other woman Team Ninja has ever modeled in 3D.
  • The Faceless:
    • Miyako, Kokoro’s mother. It’s averted in Dead or Alive 5‘s story mode.
    • Victor Donovan in Dimensions. The only time the camera focuses on the front of his face is when he puts on Omega’s mask.
  • Flashy Teleportation: Kasumi can do this with cherry blossom petals, Ayane with iris petals. Ryu smokes out with leaves, Hayate with raven feathers.
  • Free Floor Fighting: Quite a few arenas have sections where you can knock your opponent into another area, like off balconies, down stairwells, or through walls.
  • Friendly, Playful Dolphin: Helena swims with dolphins in her ending cinematic from the third game, and some dolphins jump around in the background of the Zack Island stage in DOA5.
  • Gaiden Game: The three Xtreme Beach Volleyball games dispense entirely with the male combatants and put the women on an island with volleyball nets and the skimpiest bikinis known to man. The Dead or Alive series itself qualifies as this for the newer Ninja Gaiden series.
  • Gainaxing: Dead or Alive‘s shtick since the first game, but in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, each breast has its own physics, meaning both can jiggle independently. It look as ridiculous as it sounds. Taken one step further in Dead or Alive 5 where you can invoke this trait.
  • Genre Shift: In Xtreme Beach Volleyball; guess what they do instead of fighting.
  • Get A Hold Of Yourself Man:
    • Ryu impersonates Lt. Noah in Dimensions and delivers a backhand slap to Kasumi in an attempt to stop her from searching for Hayate.
    • Also Hayate while being offended by some of Ayane’s accusations toward Kasumi.
  • Giant Waist Ribbon: Ayane, a.k.a. «The Giftwrapped Ninja».
  • Good Is Not Soft: Kasumi. Nicest character in the series? Check. Lethal fighting skills? Check. Seeks to kill Raidou after he attacked her brother? Oh check.
  • Goofy Print Underwear: Younger women like NiCO, Marie Rose, Honoka, Kokoro, Lei Fang, and Hitomi tend to have panties with stripes, polka dots, or other fun patterns. Not unsurprising, as most of those girls are 18 and those kinds of designs tend to be favored by young women.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: Again, Xtreme Beach Volleyball: they love playing with their enemies. It’s even possible for you to play as Christie and get Helena to be your volleyball partner if you give her enough dolphin-related merchandise, completely ignoring the fact that you killed her mother (although to be fair, Xtreme Beach Volleyball was before Dead or Alive 4, which is where Helena learned that information).
    • Though Xtreme 2 takes place after the reveal in Dead or Alive 4.
  • Gory Discretion Shot:
    • Fairly mild variation. If the player, as Ayane, beats Kasumi in Dead or Alive 2‘s story mode, she either leaves Kasumi for dead in the snow (the camera just focusing on Ayane as she glares down before muttering «. traitor») or finishes her off with a jutsu of some description, cutting away just as Ayane finishes «casting» it. Either way, you never see a corpse.
    • Zigzaged by Hayate’s ending in Dead or Alive 4. It opens with him violently slicing a mook in half. However, for the rest of the scene, the Jitter Cam is so intense that you can’t really see much more than a few splashes of blood.
  • Grapple Move: Every character has a front throw and a crouching throw, a back throw and back crouching throw. Some characters have chain throws. There are also wall throws and environmental throws.
  • The Grappler:
    • The father/daughter combo of Bass and Tina Armstrong, a pair of pro wrestlers with devasting throws and chain grapples. Bonus points for when they team up, as they gain special WWE style tag team manuevers.
    • Special mention goes to Lei Fang, who has special counters that position the opponent and her own set of chain grapples as well.
    • Ryu Hayabusa is one of the staple «ninja» characters, meaning he’s very quick and nimble. but amongst the ninjas, he excels the most in throws and grapples. Notably, he has multiple setups and variations on the Izuna Drop.
    • As her gimmick, Nyotengu can use her wings to fly, but she also can use many different types of power throws, including being able to grab her enemies while flying.
    • Leon and Bayman are moveset clones that utilize a military-inspired skillsets of CQC and Sambo, respectively. As such, they use a lot of grapples, holds and takedowns in their repertoire.
    • La Mariposa (who is actually Tina’s friend Lisa) is a Masked Luchador that utilizes speed, flips and Capoeira-inspired attacks. She also has a host of high-flying throws and hurricaranas.
    • Mira is an MMA-inspired fighter that can shift from using stand-up striking and boxing, to using take downs and ground-and-pound attacks. She even has the ability to takedown her opponent while she herself is on the ground.
  • Gratuitous English: In the first Xtreme game, Japanese is the only language available (save for Zack). Most of the time, the girls speak in Japanese (despite their nationality, not applying to Kasumi and Ayane who are actually from Japan), but during matches you can hear them say random English phrases like «Nice spike!», «Nice serve!», and «Nice block!»
  • Gratuitous Ninja: Kasumi?Ayane?Ryu?Hayate? Hell yeah this fits.
  • Guest Fighter: Nicole, a female Spartan soldier, is playable in Dead or Alive 4 and Virtua Fighters Akira Yuki, Pai Chan, and Sarah Bryant joined the fray in 5. 5: Ultimate adds Sarah’s brother, Jacky Bryant, and 5: Last Round adds Naotora Ii from Samurai Warriors and Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters. Mai returns in 6 (making her one of the only examples in fighting games of a guest character returning between installments) and is joined by Kula Diamond.
  • Guide Dang It!: In Xtreme, the manual says nothing about the character avatars. The pose that the characters show indicates what kind of mood they’re in. Characters in bad moods are much easier to defeat in volleyball. But even knowing this, it’s not immediately obvious which mood is which without a little trial-and-error.
  • Heroic Bastard: Ayane eventually fits this, as she’s the product of the first game’s Raidou raping the mother of Hayate and Kasumi . 6 later reveals that Honoka has the same father.
  • Highly Visible Ninja: All six of them. Hayate frankly admits to Hitomi that he and Ayane are shinobi in Dimensions and the pair also have a lengthy conversation/sparring session with Gen Fu and Eliot in the following scene, wearing full ninja gear. They apparently have no care for surreptitiousness whilst in public.
  • Hoax Hogan: Bass Armstrong is a big pro wrestler who is very famous in-universe and has a daughter, Tina, who inherited his wrestling skills, being mostly his participations in Dead or Alive tournaments a way to stop her from her desires in every tournament. Bass is a clear expy to Hulk Hogan in much of aspects, especially that he mimics the Hollywood Hogan persona. Tina also seems based on Hogan’s daughter Brooke, but it’s more a coincidence than a real expy.
  • Husky Russkie: Bayman, a big strong guy from Russia who speaks with a Russian accent in the English dub.
  • Identity Amnesia: Ein (who is really Hayate ) in 2 and Rig in 5.
  • Intercontinuity Crossover:
    • Nicole’s story in Dead or Alive 4 suggests that the Halo series (or at least its semi-canon I Love Bees incarnation) occurs in Dead or Alive‘s far future.
    • Ryu Hayabusa, the star of original NES Ninja Gaiden games, exists in the Dead or Alive world. Ayane, a ninja who first appeared in the original Dead or Alive, returns the favor by appearing in Team Ninja’s Ninja Gaiden games, which established that the Ninja Gaiden continuity is shared with Dead or Alive‘s. She’s soon followed by Kasumi, and the characters who first appeared in Team Ninja’s Ninja Gaiden games (Rachel and Momiji) crossed over into the Dead or Alive universe in DOA 5. Finally, Irene Lew, Ryu’s Love Interest from the NES trilogy, was fully established in Dimensions to exist in both Team Ninja’s Ninja Gaiden (where she was under the alias «Sonia») and Dead or Alive as well.
    • A trailer for Dimensions seems to suggest that the Metroid games possibly take place in the same universe as well, thus making Haloid‘s existence Hilarious in Hindsight.
    • DOA5 carries on the tradition with Virtua Fighter characters Akira Yuki, Sarah Bryant and Pai Chan. note Depending on how far you wanted to go with this, the presence of these characters (Pai especially) would, by extension, put DOA in the Project X Zone multiverse.
  • Interrupted Suicide: Ayane appears ready to commit suicide, preparing to plunge a kunai into her throat while believing that Hayate hates her until her mother Ayame walks in on her. Helena also in 4; luckily Zack saves her.
  • Jiggle Physics: Not only is the series sold on it, but the series takes the ball, and runs with it. While the fighting game genre has plenty of examples of large breasts, this series is often deemed the queen of Hotter and Sexier in fighting games. The Xtreme Beach Volleyball series helps.
    • Not to mention the fact that original Dead or Alive was the first 3D game ever to have jiggle physics.
    • Dead or Alive 5 Plus for the PlayStation Vita takes this to ridiculous levels with its new «Touch Play» feature: if your own character is female, after winning a game and your character does her winpose, flicking the screen will jiggle her breasts, a feature somewhat similar to that of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 .
    • And now Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate for the Playstation 3 directly takes after Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 once you activate the «OMG» option in the «Breast Motion» settings. While in-game after selecting any female character, just jiggle the controller and gaze at the results.
    • Dead or Alive 5: Last Round actually uses a secondary physics engine just for animating the female character’s sweater puppies. Breasts will not just bounce, but compress and deform realistically as force is applied. It’s actually quite impressive, technically speaking. Hey, what’s with that look?
  • Lady of War: Helena, Lei Fang and Kokoro.
  • Large Ham: Tengu.
    • Special mention towards Bass, too. «YOU BETTER EAT! EAT SOME MEAT!»
    • Zack, of course.
    • Tina as well.
    • Akira, he gets special sound effects and camera angles to emphasize his hamminess.
  • Level Grinding: In all of the games, beating Arcade Mode unlocks a new outfit. And since the game features numerous costumes for each character, it takes a lot of Arcade playthroughs to unlock every outfit for every character. Taken Up to Eleven in DOA 5, which had the biggest cast of the series and over fifty costumes for each character. It can feel like grinding after a while.
  • Lighter and Softer: All four Xtreme games in a nutshell. The mainline series has a series of life or death matches, betrayal, assassination attempts, Heroic Bastards conceived from Child by Rape, suicide, character deaths in backstories, personal grudges, and so on. The Xtreme games are all about the women having fun while participating various activities with none of the canon grudges they have with each other in the main series.
  • Limited Wardrobe:
    • Zigzagged. The default selection of costumes for the characters contain lots of variation across all of them. However, the DLC costumes tend to follow a theme, and a lot of the costumes get recycled for each character.
    • It’s also subverted with the girls’ DLC costumes. They might all get similar schoolgirl outfits, but each girl usually gets four different sets of bras and panties. Depending on the outfit set, some of the panties even have different levels of coverage, ranging from boyshorts to bikini underwear.
  • Luck-Based Mission: Literally in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. You have to get 9 Jackpots on Christie’s slot machine to earn a Secret Ticket, which makes your character perform a poledance. The problem is, the machine you have to get the 9 Jackpots on is notorious for taking away anywhere between 100-500 times what you bet.
  • Made of Iron: Everyone. Thrown down some steps? Knocked off a multi-story building or a hundred meters tall mountain? Blown up? Meh, just keep on fighting like nothing happened. Even by fighting game standards, some of the damage the fighters can sustain is ridiculous. It’s even more absurd in 5. Run over by a tiger? Hit head-on by a derailed train? Rocket to the face? No problem. Been sent flying towards a chopper? Guess which one goes down?
  • Manly Tears: Ayane’s Dead or Alive 3 ending.
  • Martial Arts and Crafts: Downplayed in that everyone practices a real style with realistic possibilities and limits. Turned on its head in that everyone is Made of Iron. The only exaggerations that are noticable are the Ninja styles.
  • Meaningful Name: Dead or Alive is so named as it was an All or Nothing effort to get Tecmo out of the red, similar to another video game series.
  • Mega-Corp: The Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee, or «DOATEC». They have their hands in a variety of over-the-table industries like weapons development and oil drilling, but the corrupt command of Victor Donovan pushes them into more unethical areas such as bio-engineering.
  • Mighty Glacier: Spartan-458. She is one of the easier characters to play because she quickly pounds enemies into submission.
  • Mistaken for Murderer: Helena is convinced that Ayane was the assassin that killed her mother, but it later turns out that Christie did it, and she was sent to kill Helena, as well .
  • Mistaken Identity: The end of the E3 2012 trailer for Dead or Alive 5 has Zack praising Tina, who is practicing blows on a punching bag only to get put into a headlock by the real Tina. The «Tina» he was talking to is revealed to be Sarah Bryant. The same event also happens in Dead or Alive 5‘s Story Mode when Sara is introduced.
  • Mood Whiplash: Anything having to do with Zack. This is especially true with his ending in Dead or Alive 3, which was out-and-out slapstick. Dimensions has him coming in as comic relief at times in the more serious and ninja-focused Chronicle mode.
  • Moveset Clone: Bayman and Leon, Tengu and Nyotengu, and to a certain extent, Spartan-458 and Rachel.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Every female fighter is a source of fanservice, but special note goes to Kasumi (the star of the series), Christie note Who with Kasumi are the only girls to have been seen nude , Tina, and Lisa (each of the last three being a Shameless Fanservice Girl). Averted by Spartan-458 (who provided fans another kind of Squee!), and also by Miyako and Ayame.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Nearly every female and some of the males invoke this trope. Most of the girls are slender without any visible muscle showing, and they can go toe-to-toe with any well-built fighter that outweighs them by a lot. In real life, someone like Jann Lee would pulverize and beat someone like Lei Fang into paste.
    • This is taken to extreme levels with characters like NiCO. She’s 4’8″ and weighs 90 lbs. Even most of the other girls outweigh her by at least 15 lbs. In reality, bits of her would be scraped off the ground in a fight against someone of equal skill when they have 20+ lbs of muscle on her.
  • Mythology Gag: In Dimensions, Irene Lew, Ryu’s Love Interest from the original NES trilogy, appears as his CIA contact during the story mode cutscenes. Hayate and Ayane both wonder if something is going on between them.
  • Ninja: A lot of the cast.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed:
    • Zack = Dennis Rodman. Which became funnier when Rodman himself voiced Zack in Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
    • The guy Christie assassinates in her DOA4 ending movie looks suspiciously like Steven Seagal.
    • With the more realistic models in DOA5, Momiji gains a resemblance to Monica Bellucci, and Rig is clearly based on Wentworth Miller.
    • In Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation, Luna’s face looks a lot like that of Chloë Grace Moretz.
  • Non-Lethal K.O.:
    • Even more than being non-lethal, from 2 onwards no one even gets knocked out when they lose (they just lie on the ground trying to clear their head, still perfectly conscious). However, even leaving that aside, no one’s worse for the wear when the over-the-top environmental interactions kick in (although it also makes the fact they don’t even get knocked out even more absurd).
    • Subverted somewhat. The prone poses in earlier installments were just still bodies, but if the full head-shaking animation plays, their bodies do still fall to the ground and stop moving. It is still absurd that you can snap Ayane’s neck so hard that her face is buried in her own cleavage, but she’s right on her feet moments later.
  • «No Peeking!» Request: In Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Owner Mode, the player can gift a swimsuit to the girl’s, and if their «satisfaction level» is high enough, they may be willing to do a «Raw Outfit Change», meaning they’ll change right then and there in front of you, but they ask you to close their eyes. The player can try to peek, but doing so will usually cause a Naked Freak-Out and severely drops the girl’s satisfaction.
  • Not Just a Tournament: Fame Douglas envisioned the Dead or Alive World Combat Championship (the flagship operation of the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee, hence its name) to be a mere tournament, but with his death, the tournament became a proving ground for the malicious science of Victor Donovan’s experiments.
  • Odd Friendship: Especially in tag matches, where characters who don’t normally interact or have opposing goals get along fairly well. It’s mildly surprising to see Bayman get along with folks like Bass and Zack. It’s a bit more evident with the female characters, especially with Kasumi.
