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 second time that
I’ll be writing a guide for a fighting game so please understand. My first
was Ayane’s guide. 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 Tina
character guide. Fortunately, most of her moves are in Katakana and some are
Hiragana and very few Kanji so I understand most of them but I get confused
sometimes. :)

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 C = You’re Countering the Opponent
hld= Hold Button
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 descriptions, they are the translation of the ones in the game. I
can’t read some of them so I just invented a proper name for the move.
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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motion | Damage | Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
f,f+P,P | 45 | Double Upper
df,P,b+P | 45 | Punch then Hammer
P,P,K | 48 | Machine Gun middle
P,P,P | 41 | Machine Gun Rush
f+P,P,K | 63 | 2 Punch then Knee
f+P,P,db+P | 58 | Spin Maker Combo
f+K,b+P | 48 | Knee Hand
d+K,K | 47 | Double Kick Combo
d+K,(hld)d+K | 37 | Double Low Kick
f+K,d+H+K | 42 | Knee Attack, Low Spin Kick
uf,P,f+K,d+K,d+H+K | 71 | Stun Punch, Knee and Double Low Kick Combo
uf,P,f+K,K | 72 | Stun Punch, Knee and Middle Kick Combo
uf,P,f+K,H+P+K | 76 | Stun Punch, Knee Combo
uf,P,f+K,f+K,d+K | 78 | Stun Punch, Double Knee Combo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Take note that after using the Stun Punch (uf,P), or the Knee attack (f+K),
you can do your own combos.
Kasumi is one aggressive opponent. She can do lots of things to you. Example,
if you try to combo her but it didn’t connect, or it was blocked, Kasumi will
most likely throw you. She also likes to finish her combos with low attacks
so beware. If you want to attack, try to be as close as possible and be
aggressive yourself.
You can use f+K as a combo starter or as a counter. You can also use f+P,
f+H+P, b+P-f+P, for counters. Just don’t let Kasumi throw you and always
anticipate her moves.
====
TINA
====
Your Alter Ego likes to throw you so much that she always wants to get close
to you. Try to move a lot because if she catches you doing nothing, she’ll
throw you right away. To counter her, use any combo as most of them are
effective, if not all. Beware also because when you attack her and she
manages to counter your attacks, most likely she’ll throw you.
========
LEI-FANG
========
Lei-Fang likes to throw a lot. So, try to stay away so that she cannot throw
you. For attacking, you can use f+P or the shoulder tackle (b+P,f+P). These
attacks oftentimes catch Lei-Fang off guard. You can also use f+K as a
counter. Block her moves and counter afterwards. She also likes to use combos
a lot so be prepared to block and counter.
=====
AYANE
=====
This girl is ultra aggressive and has so much variety of moves, she’ll be
practically unpredictable. She’ll try to corner you and pull of lots of nasty
combos. She’ll also try her best to throw you if you get near her. Use
Shoulder Tackle (b+P,f+P), or f+P attack to counter her. You can also use the
d+H+K move to confuse her. It connects most of the time and it is also a good
counter. But, if you try to combo her and she manages to block it, prepare
for a throw.
========
HAYABUSA
========
Hayabusa likes to counter your moves so think before you act. You can use b+P
or f+K as good counter attacks, the latter can also be used as a combo
starter. Another effective move against him is the uf,K or the Drop Kick.
Take note that he is very skilled in low extremity fighting so don’t try to
attack low as he’ll just Hold, Block, and counter you. Attacking him in the
middle area is very effective so use df+K attack.
========
JANN-LEE
========
Jann-Lee is tough. He is very unpredictable as he can make surprise attacks
while his back is facing you. But, on the contrary, you have a variety of
moves that are effective against him. d+H+K is a good one. This catches Jann-
Lee off guard. You can also confuse him with either d+K,K or d+K,d+K. You can
also use the f+P,P combo as it connects most of the time but he might counter
you too.
======
BAYMAN
======
Bayman is what we may call the throw guy. He’ll use very opportunity to throw
you and do some nasty combos. Try to stay a bit far from his to prevent that
from happening. Take note also that he’ll also try his best to corner you.
But, you can easily do a combo. Almost every combo connect most of the time.
Good attacks include the d+H+K and the powerful Knee Attack (f+K) that serves
as a combo starter. You can also attack his lower extremities, as he is quite
weak in that part. Beware though as he can counter you anytime with his Hold
Throw.
====
ZACK
====
He is one of the hardest opponents using Tina. You’ll have a hard time by
just trying to get near him. The trick here is that you must be used to Hold
and counter your opponent. Try to counter his moves then attack with the
Shoulder Tackle (b+P,f+P) or Knee Attack (f+K). So, try you best to
anticipate all of his moves and do your counter. Don’t let him come near you
or you’ll be sorry.
======
RAIDOU
======
On the contrary, Raidou is very easy to deal with. Just stay a bit far from
him and you can already predict his next move. He is fond of Punching and
Kicking, so blocking and using the Hold button is very effective. After he
does a combo, counter attack him with any combo and it will connect. You can
also stop him by concentrating on his lower extremities. You can poke him
using punches. You can also use the f+P move.
======
GEN-FU
======
So the old man like to throw huh? So stay away from him. A good attack is the
Knee attack (f+K). It serves as a good counter attack and a combo starter as
well. Low attacks doesn’t work most of the time against him. He will just
block it or Hold it and counter attack you. If you managed to hold him,
counter attack using High or middle attacks.
====
BASS
====
This is a good challenge. Bass like to throw a lot and also, use his kicking
abilities. A good attack against Bass would be the Drop Kick (uf,K). It
counters his moves and keeps him at bay. You can also do low attacks because
Bass is not skilled in attacking the lower extremities. If he manages to
corner you, use u+K attack. Basically, just prevent him from throwing you and
you’ll most likely win the match.
These are just some brief descriptions of Ayane’s Costumes.
