Yohei Shimbori was interviewed for a video in Games Radar. Nothing really new is said in the interview, but I just wanted to share a Shimbori article as they are so rare. For those that don't know, Shimbori is the director of the Dead or Alive franchise. He is one of the key figureheads for the...

An interview with Hayashi has recently been posted on VentureBeat. In the article, Hayashi talks about the DOA5 and NG3 stories, DLC expectations, pushing the genre forward, and dealing with the idea of a crossover series with Tekken. Check out the full two-page article here.

There's a lot of new buzz going around due to the recent Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dead or Alive 5 press event that happened yesterday in San Francisco, California. There's also been a lot of confusion on reports based on this new buzz. Unfortunately, Team NINJA stated they did not want high level...

A nice article went up over the weekend on Shoryuken by d3v. I feel it's a valid article that any member of this community should read and take notice for the upcoming release of Dead or Alive 5. Below is an excerpt with the permission of d3v, please click here to read the rest of the article:

According to a recent quarterly analysis from Koei-Tecmo Global (Japan), Dead or Alive Dimensions has only managed to sell 310,000 copies in its lifetime. That's global numbers which include North America, Europe, Japan, and Asia. The low number could be attributed to the weak sales of the...

It's easy to be a fan of Dead or Alive if you're a fan of the fighting game genre. In that regard, it's nice to hear from other company developers and directors from time to time. In a Capcom company interview with Yoshinori Ono (Director of Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken), Ono...

Thread for posting up pics of those cosplaying as characters from the Dead or Alive series. Grellkaloli as Kasumi. Anyone else have any DOA cosplay pics they want to share?

The whole "game is nothing but guessing" is a fallacy for the competitive players. The way a competitive fighting game plays is that a more "experienced" player ends up finding ways to give themselves a "Competitive advantage" whether it's through positioning, zoning, or even comboing. These...

Tecmo-Koei was kind enough to provide me an uncompressed 1280x720 video file of the full trailer running at a full 60 frames per second. Below is the resized and watermarked form. There is a download available should you want it. Unfortunately, I can't host the original uncompressed form as it's...

Here at FSD we can be found looking from inside the box at times. It's always refreshing to see other people who aren't a part of the immediate community to discuss how they interpret the footage and news we see. In that manner, The Fading Genres blog has posted an article breaking down his take...

In a recent interview with GamePro Hayashi goes into a further discussion over his expectations of the style of DOA5, the current state of the fighting genre, and dealing with the forced change of the team due to Itagaki's departure. The first page was all Ninja Gaiden discussion with most of...

I guess this thread will be for showing non Dead or Alive/Tecmo related videos that just make you go "WTF!?". I'll start:

Hayashi discussed randomness in Dead or Alive 5 stage design during a NInja Gaiden 3 interview with G4TV. Basically, he says that the level of randomness hasn't been determined and will be decided as the game gets fleshed out more. In addition, he further attempts to clarify the DOA5 mission...

Hayashi has given the definition to what Team NINJA means by "Fighting Entertainment" in a recent interview with Joystiq. Below is the full transcript:

In a recent interview with Impress Watch Itagaki responded to the announcement of Dead or Alive 5, or in other words he was told of its announcement. Itagaki is fine with his game being pushed on ahead, even going so far as to saying it's like having given a daughter off to be married...

I'm just curious. I've always enjoyed watching someone play the games as I'm too scared playing the games myself. Last time I attempted was Fatal Frame 2 where my more survival horror fanatical friend got pissed off watching me play (walk everywhere). I was just too scared to run around a corner...

Eurogamer.net has given the first interview of Dead or Alive 5 with Team NINJA director Yosuke Hayashi. In it, Hayashi emphasizes that other fighting games have done nothing to advance the genre for the past 10 years, and Team NINJA is looking to make Dead or Alive 5 more about the stage design...

So now that the trailer is now available: 127 I thought I'd go through it frame by frame to see what's happening. Keep in mind that the trailer runs at 30 fps and I currently have not found a 60 fps version and doubt it exists. It should be noted that as a pre-alpha build all content is not in...

On September 14, 2011 Team Ninja has released the Pre-Alpha trailer for Dead or Alive 5. The trailer shows off a dangerzone filled construction yard rooftop with Hayate and Hayabusa dueling it out. It should be expected that many of the attacks and motions are from Dead or Alive 4 as pre-alpha...

Since the wiki hasn't had anyone contribute to put up the frame data yet, I figure this would be a good thread to list errors given in the frame data guide that are inaccurate, for when the wiki finally gains that information. Hayate: :3::3::k::k: Reported: -2 Guard Disadvantage (+2)...
