Bryan's back with a breakdown of a new character as we count down to the second IGN Pro League "I'm a Fighter" Championship event in San Mateo, CA. Today's character breakdown is none other than the femme fatale assassin Christie. Christie is a character who has had her hand in just about every incident in the Dead or Alive story, including killing Helena's mother and attempted assassination of Bayman. It looks like she also has some sort of history with series newcomer Rig. Be sure to check out the game when it comes out on September 25th, until then, let DrDogg give you a sneak peak of Christie's fighting style:

DrDogg said:Against a good Christie player, you’re going to have to decide if you block her guard break at the end of a string and allow her to continue her offense (she still has one of the fastest jabs in the game), or attempt to interrupt a potential Jakeiho cancel and risk getting caught by the end of the string, or an attack from Jakeiho. When it’s finally your turn to attack, you still have to worry about the Jakeiho stance because Christie takes a very evasive sidestep when she enters the stance, and can follow it with a second sidestep or a back dash.
Suffice to say, Christie will be a handful, and is arguably one of the best characters in the game at the moment. Expect to see a lot of players flocking to Christie when Dead or Alive 5 hits store shelves on September 25. In the meantime, we’ll have Christie match videos coming your way next week, followed by the next “I’m a Fighter” World Championships in San Mateo, CA the following weekend.
