Don't chew me out for this, but I thought I'd share this new article at a French gaming website called GameKult. Translation is a bit off, but it should be readable for the most part. It elaborates a bit more on attacks having different effects on the stage depending on how you position the opponent:

With the announcement this evening, we understand that Dead or Alive 5 up more than ever on the interaction with the surroundings. How does intervene in the game? Is it just scripts?
There will be two types of events. Some will be more scripted, for example, when you attack, there will be parts of the scenery that will explode. Conversely, it will be possible to use other decorative elements to ensure various advantages during combat. Both types of interaction are part of the game completely
Does this mean that these events will be located? If I go out a sequence specific to a certain location of the arena, does it necessarily trigger an interaction with the scene at the end of the combo?
In the demo that you were shown, there was some kind of message we want you to enjoy. When you hit an enemy and it will go into the background, there will be some places where you have to use your knowledge of the game to know exactly where to send it. These locations vary depending on the level, so the management of distance is important, but other parameters will also come in. The game system will therefore allow different types of attacks that will not always have the same effect, which leads to a renewal in the strategy.
Is this a way for you to incorporate twists, like a Street Fighter or Soul Calibur V?
It's not really in the same vein as other fighting games, since the series has always relied on interactions with the environment. Rather, reinvigorate the fight, not just to offer a destructive attack with manipulation or that sort of thing. Eventually you will understand the message we're trying to get across.
Last question, is what the character of the illustration is Kasumi, and a new character?
For fans of Dead or Alive , I think it makes sense, but I still leaves the choice to guess for yourself.
