General Tips
- As with any fighting game, you should experiment with different characters to find which one suits your playstyle best.
- Dead or Alive 5 uses a kind of rock-paper-scissors formula in which strikes trump throws, throws trump hold, and holds trump strikes.
- If you're new to the series, play story mode first and jump into multiplayer after you finish it. The practice will definitely help.
- Take some time to learn combos. Button mashing only gets you so far in Dead or Alive.
- Spend some time in the training mode to hone your fighting skills.
- Don't worry too much about intricate combos when you first start off. Just commit to memorizing a few simple ones and work your way up from there.
- Use directional inputs for blocking instead of buttons, as it gives you more freedom to follow up with attacks/counters.
- Kasumi and Kokoro are good characters for beginners.
