Fighting Tips
Tactics for beginners.
Fighting tips for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round.
- Experiment with different characters to find the one that suits you. Kasumi and Kokoro are good for beginners.
- The game uses a rock-paper-scissors formula: strikes beat throws, throws beat holds, holds beat strikes.
- If you're new, play Story mode first, then move to multiplayer; the practice definitely helps.
- Learn combos; button mashing only gets you so far. Memorize a few simple ones at first, then build up.
- Use directional inputs for blocking instead of buttons; it gives more freedom to follow up with attacks/counters.
- Spend time in training mode to hone your skills.
