Dead or Alive 5: New Gameplay Trailer Revealed

Tecmo’s Japanese video game development studio Team Ninja has revealed an entirely new fantastic gameplay trailer for their upcoming fighting game "Dead or Alive 5.”

The fights in “Dead or Alive 5” are based on a rock-paper-scissors like interruption system (or the triangle system, as per the official webpage). This means that strikes (normal attacks) beat throws, throws beat holds (interception counterattacks), and holds beat strikes. Simply put, when you land an attack of one type that beats another type (like landing a strike when an opponent tries to throw), that attack becomes a Hi Counter attack and does even more damage.

Something called Power Blows has also been added to the upcoming game, and according to the game’s official site, “This is a powerful move that lets you set a direction to blow your opponent away. Once the Power Blow hits, aim the camera left or right with the directional buttons/directional pad, then send your opponent flying! Do you knock them into a Danger Zone for certain damage, or do you send them off a cliff to try for even more damage - and risk doing none?”

“Dead or Alive 5” is set for a September 25 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
