This guide will be using Dead or Alive's input layout for move/command reference, it is composed of numerical direction input and move abbrevations, such as:
1/
- Down-back2/
- Down3/
- Down-Forward4/
- Back5/
- Neutral (No directional input)6/
- Forward7/
- Up-Back8/
- Up9/
- Up-ForwardP/
- PunchK/
- KickH/
- HoldT/
- ThrowP+K/
- Strong PunchH+K/
- Strong KickMeaning if i were to say 7P2P2K/
it could be translated as: Up-back punch down punch down kick.After many months of planning, writing, designing, recording and editing, the Dragon Guide is finally here! This written version will serve as a complement to the guide itself (The huge video above) discussing a few other points and tips to using Jann Lee's max potential.
