New Online Features Detailed for DOA5U by Famitsu

Famitsu has released information on new Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate online features. It's a short list, but are some interesting ideas.

Four-player Tag Mode Online

Developed and integrated due to high demand from Dead or Alive fans around the world, players will now be able to form a tag team with a comrade and fight against another team online. Additionally, players can battle in ranked tag matches in order to become #1 in the world rankings. Separate from solo matches, in tag matches Grade Points (GP) are earned for both team members with each win counting as two toward unlockable costumes.

Prize Fighter

Four different ranks can be earned by winning consecutive ranked matches: Bronze Fighter, Silver Fighter, Gold Fighter and Platinum Fighter. Prize Fighters earn extra Grade Points with wins and those who defeat another Prize Fighter receive a GP bonus. Grade Points have been updated now allowing for players to earn up to Grade U from S+. Bonus GPs are rewarded when fighters move to the next grade level.

Ranked Mode now supports Tag Matches and other Online updates

Improvements made for online mode enhance gameplay, providing a smoother experience regardless of the player’s network connection, and cutting search times to find opponents for ranked matches and unranked throw downs.

Character Rankings

The S+ looks cooler than the U-*shot*

Ranked tag tho... ehhh they're really pushing tag aren't they. Guess I'll have to start learning some Akira/Ein, Ein/Hayate and Akira/Hayate tag combos.

Anyways, online 4p tag is awesome, improved netcode is a must and thse look like pretty good changes. Character ranking will be interesting, particularly who's on top with each character. (I WILL be the #1 Ein, KNOW that.)

Bring on 5U. Can't wait. Again really hoping the netcode lives up to all these other improvements
We shall see Zeo, but I'm taking HAYATE (like DOA 4 times) for sure this time around! \[⊙.⊙]/
 
I am excited about this, I have always loved Tag. I haven't been playing much but Ultimate coming out will bring me back to the game!
 
I dont like tag in dead or alive 5 might sound a bit weird but i do love tag when im tagged up so yay cant wait to tag up on doa5U :D
