Hello everyone! Some of you might know me as an RPG game writer. Now, I’ll be
trying to move on to other types of games. This will be the first time that
I’ll be writing a guide for a fighting game so please understand. If you see
something wrong, just tell me. They’re more than welcome. :)
Now, Dead or Alive has been one of the most innovative 3D fighting games for
the Playstation. It has this cool danger zone that when you fall there from
an attack, you’ll bounce off which allows your opponent to do more damage to
you. It’s really cool especially the girls. Although the animation of the,
"you know what", is somewhat exaggerated, it’s cool to see them in different
costumes. Now, each of the character has his/her own fighting styles and I
personally chose Ayane as my favorite. Now, I present to you my Lei-Fang
character guide.

GUIDE INFO
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
For this guide, I’ll be using these to represent the different movements or
positions for the moves.
u = Up BT = Your back turned (facing away from opponent)
uf = Up and Forward OC = Opponent is Crouching
f = Forward P = Punch
df = Down and Forward K = Kick
d = Down H = Hold
db = Down and Backward OD = Opponent is Down
b = Backward OB = Opponent’s Back is Turned
ub = Up and Backward OBC = Opponent’s Back is Turned and Crouching
Now, I’ll try to explain the difference between uf+P,P and uf,P,P. In the
first one, uf and Punch should be pushed at the same time then press another
punch. For the second one, push uf first then press Punch, and then Punch
again.

SPECIAL MOVES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
For the description of the moves (as well as the other sections of this guide
that has a description column in it), I just invented the names, as of now,
because I have a Japanese Version. Although, I do know how to
read/write/speak Japanese (Hiragana and Katakana), I’m not knowledgeable to
most of the Kanji.
To be able to pull off the throws and holds, you must be right beside and as
close as possible to your opponents. Remember that, you cannot use the throws
without the (OC) if the opponent is crouching and vice versa.
Combos are a series of moves/special moves that when successfully pulled off,
will deal a big amount of damage. Also, it’s very fun to watch. Some combos,
require skill as some requires only the knowledge of pushing buttons. Some
needs timing while some doesn’t need.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* You can literally do various attacks and combos using this starter. Another
Starter is the P+K, the Knee Attack.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. d,df,f+H > f,df,d,db,b+H+P | 60 | Elbow
> f,f+H+P+K | 100 | Slam Down
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As always, Kasumi is one tough fighter. She is fond of finishing almost all
of her combos with a low kick so whenever you see her start a combo, prepare
for a low kick all the time. Your best bet is doing Counters for her moves.
Good counters include the f+P and the d,f+P attacks. This catches her off
guard most of the time. Another good counter is the H+P+K. But, if you want
to finish her off with a nice combo, I observed that ub+P is a good starter.
====
TINA
====
For Tina, try to stay away from her as she is very fond of throwing her
opponent. She is also fond of using her Knee Attacks so watch out. These
moves are effective against her, in my opinion and in what I have observed.
The b+P,P combo, the Tackle: b+P,f+P, and the H+K. If you are good in poking,
it is advisable to stay close to her.
========
LEI-FANG
========
It’s really hard fighting your alter ego. When you face Lei-Fang, try to stay
away as she can do lots of things at you when you’re close especially
throwing. You can use b+P or f+P as counters. If you are fond of blocking the
punches and kicks of your opponents, you’ll have a very hard time doing it
against Lei-Fang.
=====
AYANE
=====
As with Tina, the b+P,f+P move is very effective especially when used as a
counter attack. Try your best also to block her attacks as she is one of the
best attackers in the game. She does various punches and kicks and it’s very
unpredictable. A good move is the f+P. Most of the time, you’ll get her with
that one. The same goes for b+P
========
HAYABUSA
========
Hayabusa is one aggressive fighter. You can counter most of his attacks by
using the P+K attack. You can also easily determine and anticipate his
attacks so if you’re a master of the Hold button, you’ll have no problems at
all. If you plan to combo him, try to do it as a counter. The most effective
combos are those that include low attacks as he is vulnerable in his lower
extremities. Finally, if you decide to throw him, you’ll have a hard time.
========
JANN-LEE
========
He’s rather easy. But then, he is also very unpredictable. Most of the time,
he’ll pull off surprising kicks and powerful punches. The best you can do is
to just Hold off his attacks and counter with an attack of your own. He also
has a low defense in his lower extremities so attack low most of the time.
Another good tip for Jann-Lee, you can easily throw him.
======
BAYMAN
======
This is one tough cookie. He always tries his best to throw you and he
oftentimes succeeds. If you stay away from him, he’ll charge at you and combo
you at once then finishes it off with a very nasty throw. A good attack is
the d,f+P. It catches him off guard most of the time. His attacks can also be
easily countered so just stay far from him to prevent the throws, then,
counter his attacks or just use Hold. But if you attacked and he was able to
Hold them, expect a throw coming in your way.
====
ZACK
====
Zack likes to throw you a lot. Another hard part is that you’ll have a hard
time doing combos against him because he can easily hold you or even counter
you. Counter him with the uf+K. It’ll work most of the time. Another good
counter is the H+P+K. Just remember that when you attack him or made a combo
and he was able to block it, prepare yourself for a throw.
======
RAIDOU
======
Although he is the final enemy in the game, he is very easy to defeat than
the other characters’ level 7 AI. You can throw him easily after you blocked
or held his attacks. You can easily do counter combos too. It is also easy to
Hold off his attacks. The only thing that you should worry about is when he
catches you off-guard. He’ll do combos then throw your character to oblivion.
======
GEN-FU
======
Gen-Fu is really smart and aggressive at the same time. If you plan to combo
him, he’ll counter you even before you throw your first punch. One good
attack against him is the f,f+P attack. f+P is also advisable. If you’re
planning to throw him, I bet you’ll have a very hard time in doing so. His
moves varies a lot making it very unpredictable. So, stay just a few distance
away and just try to counter his moves.
====
BASS
====
This character is very annoying. He’ll just come at you and when you’re near
enough, expect a throw. Your advantage is that he is slow, so stay far from
him and counter his punches and kicks then do a massive combo against him. If
he manages to Hold your combo, it’s very likely that he will counter you with
another combo and not a throw. There are 2 good counters that work against
him. The uf+K and the f,f+P attacks.
