You can also use a break blow without the combo with forward and special.Īs for the Special button’s defensive options, pressing back and Special activates a Break Hold, a last ditch defensive option that can counter any attack if timed correctly, but costs half your meter.
#DEAD OR ALIVE 6 GAMEPLAY FULL#
Players can hit the special button four times for an easy combo, but with a full Break meter, ending the combo will initiate a Break Blow. The biggest new addition to this version of the series is the special button that’s tied to the new Break meter. If you know your opponent is going to counter one of your combos with a hold, you can try to bait out the hold by stopping the combo halfway through, punishing it with a devastating throw. There’s a rock paper scissors system in play with the different attacks, as strikes beat throws, holds beat strikes and throws beat holds, so the mental metagame is strong here. Players can use high, middle and low holds depending on the direction inputted when pressing block, with back and forward used to counter middle punches and kicks, while back+up and back+down counter high and low attacks respectively. Aside from your typical punch, kick and throw buttons, your block button can also be used to initiate defensive “holds”. You just have to put in a little more legwork for it now.įor the uninitiated, Dead or Alive 6 is a 3D fighter that places equal importance on a tight defense as well as a flashy, combo heavy offense. Sure, on the surface, it looks like Dead or Alive 6 has cleaned up the franchise’s act, focusing more on being a best in class fighting game and less on being the “breast” in class, but that other side of DOA is still there. Yes, it’s Dead or Alive time once again, and rumours about the reduced sexualisation in the sixth edition were fairly exaggerated. Cue plenty of frantically changing the channel anytime someone walks into the room.
There’s a certain level of shame and embarrassment that comes with the realisation that you’ve recently shelled out over £700 in the past month on a 4K TV and an Xbox One X, both of which ended up being used to render Dead or Alive 6 and its massive, jiggling breasts in real time.
