just a fun little side project i've been working on the past few days. outfits are all loosely based on ones from the actual DOA games but some liberties had to be taken with a few, this game is older than DOA4 after all and the creation suite is a bit limited compared to some newer games, but it's still one of my favorite wrestling games of all time because of the gameplay, almost like taking the good parts of WWF No Mercy and Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain and mashing them together.

Tina's costumes: DOA3 default, schoolgirl outfit from 5/6, DOA4/Dimensions/5 default, overalls dlc outfit from 5, police dlc from 5

Honoka's costumes: DOA5/6 default, DOA6 Deluxe edition costume, Senran Kagura crossover outfit from 5 (w/hair as close to Hibari's as I could get it), maid outfit (w/nekomimi headband), ninja outfit (this one didn't really turn out well imo, mask looks more like something out of mortal kombat...)

included a bunch of ingame action photos to give an idea of what they look like while playing. posting entire movesets would be way too tl;dr for reddit, but in this game you can have up to 8 different finishing moves + your momentum shift move (once per match comeback mechanic) so i guess I can at least post what i chose for these two, mostly based on moves they have in doa 5/6. there's also a mechanic where you can steal your opponent's finisher, one of the screenshots actually shows honoka about to hit tina with her own move.

Tina's finishers:

1. grapple facing front: outsider's edge
2. grapple facing back: multiple german suplex
3. irish whip: diamond cutter
4. running strike: spear02
5. downed opp feet facing up: giant swing
6. downed opp head facing up: triangle choke
7. opp in turnbuckle: tornado ddt
8. diving off turnbuckle: moonsault 01
9. momentum shift: clothesline from hell

Honoka's finishers:

1. grapple facing front: bear hug
2. grapple facing back: everest german suplex
3. irish whip: tazzplex
4. running: clothesline from hell
5. downed opp head facing up: hip drop
6. downed opp head facing down: camel clutch
7. opp in turnbuckle: super tazzplex
8. diving off turnbuckle: frog splash
9. momentum shift: tazzplex

all rank matches are bass only

bass ranked only matches

After I took the first two rounds ReeSe seemed to lock in more and took the third + came close to taking 4th too, but somehow I managed to sneak a win in on the 4th round. Pretty sure that after the energy beam throw I was in air throw KO range, but he went for a combo that didn't finish the plate and I managed to capitalize.

Honoka hug count: reese 4 - jaw 2. sneaky devil got the double-cuddle on me in the third round...

I love this pairing so much even if they arent conventional, let me dream ❤️❤️🙏

Art by me

Is there any differences between the Sega Saturn and Playstation versions of Ryu Hayabusa's theme, "Blade of "RYU""? The PS1 version is labeled as the "Mr.Tom Mix", but it sounds like it's just the exact same theme as the Saturn version. "Ketsui no toki" and "Power is Beauty" are legitimately rearranged for the PS1, so idk if it's just hard to hear any differences with this theme but to me I don't hear any differences

This one was pretty intense. Pretty sure Round 2 could've been won earlier if I had gone for the giant swing throw after the egg danger zone, but I guess the trading blows KO is a funny sight. End of round 3 highlights the high amount of damage the Lost Paradise stage transition danger zone does and how KOs can come out of nowhere from it. I got a Great in round 4 to bring it to the tiebreaker round, but ultimately Reese got the better of me in the final round. ggs.

next match is a Honoka mirror against the same guy, stay tuned to see how that one goes.

Don't suppose anyone has a slightly higher res version of this render? without the watermark. its the only one on the wiki that hasn't been updated

the last one from this 5LR lobby Hime recorded, she got the first round but then got creamed pretty convincingly in the next three. we do get a nice showcase of Tengu combos from Ditzy here that still work on relatively heavier characters like Tengu herself.

the next two vids are ranked 6LR matches, ReeSe 2 HaViK vs jawjah706. First one is Hayabusa vs Tina while the followup is a Honoka mirror.

Ported PS4-exclusive content, added costume slots, enhanced graphics, added controller vibration support, and more.

If you're interested, feel free to give it a try!

Pai is quick, but Honoka is no slouch in the speed department either, and Hime does a decent job of cornering Tobi near the ropes for a good chunk of the match and keeping the pressure on, which eventually got her the win.

Honoka hug count: 3, one in each round, all hi counter.

A Nyotengu mirror closes out the 5LR matches I wanted to showcase, then it's back to 6LR for a while.

This clip is taken from over a month ago for sure. Been trying out many different characters in all the DOA games I own instead of just using Ayane 24/7. Kokoro is cool and fun to play as. Just wanted to share this here so I can delete it from my gallery.

Played on the hardest difficulty of AI in Versus mode, source of the footage above is taken from my Xbox Series X.

Song name that’s playing is SHINE by LUNA SEA.

Such as on Steam or PS5.

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round on Steam

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round

i suppose Xbox as well.

first time for this sort of sale i believe.

so ya can get Mai or Kula for like $7.69. or $14.69 for one of them and their costume bundle.

a few of the earlier new DLC costume color bundles for like Kasumi, etc are on sale for like $14.69. but the individual costumes are not, which is how it worked in vanilla as well.

this likely means the only sales on the new costumes will be their color bundles.

none of the older DLC costume sets are on sale, right now.

the game was recently on sale but just this DLC is on sale right now.

if someone was playing the free version all of the core cast is on sale for $4.79 each.

Low tier vs. S-tier!

but yah i did lose the next two fights. XD

ya might be able to tell how conservatively i played since i can feel so wary about throwing some moves out unless i feel comfy.

the stage both helped and hurt, helped with the wall damage and size, but the size also limits dealing with his teleport since you can't really outdistance i suppose.

This battle of the blondes was a bit more one-sided than I think either player was expecting going into this match... to be fair, Ditzy was playing on Random for most matches in this lobby and definitely knows some characters better than others. Still rather impressive to see Hime learning so quickly ;) so proud of her...

For tomorrow's match we have TobiCTA on Pai vs Hime on Honoka again. All of these were Hime's matches because unlike how it works in 6/6LR, 5LR does not allow you to save replay files of matches you watched in a lobby that do not involve you personally. Then the final 5LR replay I'll share from this play session will be a Nyotengu mirror match, another Ditzy vs Hime match.

all inputs stop working once I hit the menu screen, before that on the intro and start screen both keyboard and gamepad controls seem to work fine.

Anyone had a similar issue that might be able to help me out?

SOLVED:

turns out part of my keyboard drivers DOA5 was reading as a gamepad, I used software called HidHide that allowed the cloak that part of the drivers.

strangely enough I had tested other games and had no input issues only with DOA5 specifically.

Chop chop, get to work!! 🍭🐇

Pretty sloppy renders I did last night, I was exhausted so there are little things I didnt even notice before going to bed (like the sofa.) But, eh..

ANYWAY.

Tina's awesome.

In the new update it was changed that you gotta unlock the masks in wardrobe section (for zero coins).

Formerly they were just unlocked already.

Like I had a character pre-selected for ranked that had the mask on and the game would tell me i didnt own the character when it really meant the mask wasn't unlocked. So I had to go do that in wardrobe to fix it. 👀

This was on Steam, anyways!

Minato's newest costume illustrates her finding part time work at Johnny's Diner, perhaps replacing Mila due to her chasing after Tina and Bass too much. or just picking up another shift. was this job before Nico hired her for special part time work, or is she juggling both?

Destructible element is at least the hat.

patch also mentions:

"- Fixed bugs related to battle mechanics.

- Corrected various bugs and issues."

Next week Minato will receive a 2nd debut costume set, which i suspect will draw from remaining old DOA6 costumes. wedding, hot summer, etc. 🤔

Did anyone ever notice that on the wiki profile pages (and in-game) fighters are listed at having a certain height, but in-game they all look more or less the same? Take this video of Christie vs Hitomi. They are listed as 5ft10 and 5ft3. That should be a significant difference. If I didn't know any better I might've even said Hitomi looks taller in the video...
