Decided to try out Dead or Alive++ just to see what it's like. As usual, when I play other fighting game titles for the first time, I like to go in blind and see what I can do.

Of course, I am familiar with this series, just haven't played until now. With Dead or Alive, the controls somewhat remind me of a combination of Virtua Fighter and Tekken mixed in a blender. This game is of course famous for it's exaggerated fanservice which involves the bouncing breast gimmick (iirc, there is a feature which involves turning it on and off but I could be wrong). In terms of character designs, some are generic looking in my opinion but since this was early days, it can be excused. From what I recall, this was a port of the PlayStation edition of the game (again I may be wrong) with some downgrades.

The character I used was Ayane; the half-sister of Kasumi. Originally, she was introduced as an unplayable training dummy (named Toreko, in a Sega Saturn edition of this game) before becoming a fully fleshed out character (who sadly has a tragic backstory). She plays somewhat similar to Kasumi but has unique moves + design/colour scheme of her own (which develops over time).

Well, I don't have much else to say here but enjoy the video!
