Now that Christie's been confirmed playable and revealed at this year's Paris Games Week event with gameplay trailer in tow, we can officially start discussing and speculating about how she'll play in the upcoming sequel - Dead or Alive 6 - scheduled for release on February 15, 2019.
To kick things off as far as new moves go, let's observe what we know from her official reveal trailer:
At around the :26 mark, her Fatal Rush combo starts with what appears to be her 9p from previous games.
A couple of beatdowns later to the :37 mark, we see something a bit more interesting. After Christie uses her 66t near the wall on newcomer Diego which triggers an exploding dangerzone that launches him very high, Christie connects with her 7k backflip... but what's this? It doesn't flip out the opponent in midair, but instead refloats Diego? AND the 7k is followed up with a lunging attack similar to a forward tackle wakeup from the Tekken series? It looks like a potential new combo ender.
Finally, at the :46 mark, she appears to have a new throw that puts the opponent in crumple stun afterward. Doesn't appear to have much going for it in open space for a followup, but here's hoping the throw doesn't end in a wall splat near the wall.
Immediately after that, the footage cuts to her uber-stylish Break Blow before closing out the video with the title and release date reminder. (Sidenote: Look very closely at her Break Blow animation, and you'll see her right hand sparking as if were on fire, which is a subtle but nice touch!)
Unfortunately, there was little to go here on this footage to know whether she retains her Jakeiho stance from DOA5 or even her Dokuja-Fujin stance from DOA4. But time will tell. So what do you guys think? Will she get her stance from 5 back? Will she get her older one from 4? Or do you think she'll get a hybrid of both? Leave a comment and let's get started on the gameplay discussion!
