Re: Dead or Alive 4?

well i have about 5 hours in with this game now and i'm absolutely loving it. all of the moves are overwhelming at first, but once you start catching on this turns into the ultimate fighting game. practicing counters has helped me a lot, that sparring area serves a purpose. i'm definitely holding on to this one.

Beat the game with everyone, which unlocks Helena. Beat the game with Helena and you get Spartan.

Watching Master Chief walk around like a chick is just wrong. Even with armor, thats gotta be one fugly broad, she's as massive as Bass and Bayman.

LMAO she doesn't have much moves though... 60 moves is not enough...


i believe if u do time attack mode with everyone, you unlock Tengu.

Yep. This was a cool idea, but poorly implemented. The game is awesome, but the presentation gives zero consideration to the non-Japanese gamer. Hulk Savage..err..Bass snarling in Japanese throughout the fight 'kinda kills his image as an American wrestler, no? Making an icon like the Master Chief female is also pretty bad, unless they would have given her female size and shape. This game deperately needs voice-overs, IMO.

Still a great game...

Re: Dead or Alive 4?

That's why Bungie made it very clear that it's NOT Master Chief. Just the same suit like every other spartan.

Also this really got a 39/40 in Famitsu. The first review was a Xbox only verision of the mag.

Re: Dead or Alive 4?

How would you DoA veterans recommend I "learn" this game? I've never played a DoA game in my life and I just couldn't resist a new 360 title. I've tried sparring, but it didn't really help me out much. I tried jumping into the story mode and got through quite a few levels just button mashing, but as I get further along, I stand no chance.

What would you guys suggest as the best way to learn the counter system, controls, etc?

Re: Dead or Alive 4?

Sparring mode excersie option. Dunno if that's what you tryed but you should learn the moves there.

Maybe rent/get a previous DOA and play it on easy?

Re: Dead or Alive 4?

go to sparring mode and set the computer to hit you with all of the different attacks. learn to counter each one. once you get this down the game opens up so much. i know it did for me. the first few nights i was getting killed, i seriously didn't think i'd ever win a match. now i win pretty regularly. i'm still not all that good, but now that i know what's going on it's all good.

For anyone having trouble with the counter system check out Today on Gamespot at gamespot.com They explain it pretty good there with video too.

Re: Dead or Alive 4?

so is there a "counter button" or is it just in the way you attack after they make an attack on you?

The blue button is for counters. Press Blue+backwards on the stick to counter punches, Blue+forward to counter kicks.

One peice of advice...when you play a baseball game, you have a much better chance of hitting if you watch the ball coming out of the pitchers hand, right? Same thing here. Don't watch YOUR character, always watch the CPU. Once you get the hang of watching the oppopnent, you can defend and counter alot easier. Hope this helps.

Take advantage of the enviroment whenever possible. Running/fliping off walls or throwing them down the stairs or setting them up for lots of damage from a car and so on.
