Game Cheats:
Note: The following code requires an Xbox controller. At the options menu,
press LB + LT + RB + RT to unlock costumes, Story mode progress, system
voices, music, and some movies. If you entered the code correctly, you
will hear a sound. This will not unlock the victory and defeat movies for
Raidou or Marie Rose, or any DLC costumes.
OMG Breast Motion option:
Lose with ten female characters to unlock the "OMG Breast Motion" option.
Note: This can be done in Solo VS mode by selecting a female character
and watching the losing cutscene for ten females.
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.
Unlock All Unlockables:
You can unlock all of the game's music, costumes, Story Mode progress,
movies, and more by pressing L1+L2+R1+R2 at the same time. Once you do
so, the game should indicate that it is saving your progress.
