Dead or Alive 5 - PlayStation 3

Engage in exciting, energetic fighting action in the latest installment to the Dead or Alive franchise

Dominate your opponents by mastering the unique triangle system — strikes beat throws, throws beat holds and holds beat strikes — if you land the move that beats another one, then you can inflict more damage with the resulting Hi-Counter attack

Master when to do a hold to deflect your opponent's strike, and retaliate to cause more damage in one move

Pull off expert holds on your opponent's strikes to inflict more damage than a normal hold

Experience fast, frenetic fighting excitement in dynamic environments where walls crumble, generators explode and buildings collapse

Cause devastation to the stages by unleashing the new Power Blow to send your opponent into the signature Danger Zones to inflict damage on your enemy and destruction to the environment

Charge up and unleash the Power Blow to send your opponent in any direction you choose, whether it be into a Danger Zone to inflict certain damage or off a cliff for even more damage — or none at all

Cause major damage to your opponent while he or she hangs on for dear life after being sent over a cliff — and guard strikes or evade throws if you're the one on the Cliffhanger

Choose to battle from a roster of characters which includes Ryu Hayabusa, Hayate, Ayane, Hitomi and more

Move out of the way quickly with sidesteps, and counter with your own attack

Slam your opponent into a wall and follow with a furious combo as he or she falls

Know what moves are available during battle with the Move List display, while experienced fighters can study characters' moves by watching damage and frame counts with the Move Details display
