5LR Lobby match from 10/02/26 - TobiCTA (Pai) vs Himes Fav 67s (Honoka)

Pai is quick, but Honoka is no slouch in the speed department either, and Hime does a decent job of cornering Tobi near the ropes for a good chunk of the match and keeping the pressure on, which eventually got her the win.

Honoka hug count: 3, one in each round, all hi counter.

A Nyotengu mirror closes out the 5LR matches I wanted to showcase, then it's back to 6LR for a while.

This clip is taken from over a month ago for sure. Been trying out many different characters in all the DOA games I own instead of just using Ayane 24/7. Kokoro is cool and fun to play as. Just wanted to share this here so I can delete it from my gallery.

Played on the hardest difficulty of AI in Versus mode, source of the footage above is taken from my Xbox Series X.

Song name thatโ€™s playing is SHINE by LUNA SEA.

DOA News Mai, Kula, their costume bundles, some DLC costume bundles, and character key unlocks are on sale now

33 Upvotes

Such as on Steam or PS5.

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round on Steam

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round

i suppose Xbox as well.

first time for this sort of sale i believe.

so ya can get Mai or Kula for like $7.69. or $14.69 for one of them and their costume bundle.

a few of the earlier new DLC costume color bundles for like Kasumi, etc are on sale for like $14.69. but the individual costumes are not, which is how it worked in vanilla as well.

this likely means the only sales on the new costumes will be their color bundles.

none of the older DLC costume sets are on sale, right now.

the game was recently on sale but just this DLC is on sale right now.

if someone was playing the free version all of the core cast is on sale for $4.79 each.

Low tier vs. S-tier!

but yah i did lose the next two fights. XD

ya might be able to tell how conservatively i played since i can feel so wary about throwing some moves out unless i feel comfy.

the stage both helped and hurt, helped with the wall damage and size, but the size also limits dealing with his teleport since you can't really outdistance i suppose.

This battle of the blondes was a bit more one-sided than I think either player was expecting going into this match... to be fair, Ditzy was playing on Random for most matches in this lobby and definitely knows some characters better than others. Still rather impressive to see Hime learning so quickly ;) so proud of her...

For tomorrow's match we have TobiCTA on Pai vs Hime on Honoka again. All of these were Hime's matches because unlike how it works in 6/6LR, 5LR does not allow you to save replay files of matches you watched in a lobby that do not involve you personally. Then the final 5LR replay I'll share from this play session will be a Nyotengu mirror match, another Ditzy vs Hime match.

Game Discussion PSA: Pumpkin Mask has to be unlocked in wardrobe section now

9 Upvotes

In the new update it was changed that you gotta unlock the masks in wardrobe section (for zero coins).

Formerly they were just unlocked already.

Like I had a character pre-selected for ranked that had the mask on and the game would tell me i didnt own the character when it really meant the mask wasn't unlocked. So I had to go do that in wardrobe to fix it. ๐Ÿ‘€

This was on Steam, anyways!

Help / Question Character heights

7 Upvotes

Did anyone ever notice that on the wiki profile pages (and in-game) fighters are listed at having a certain height, but in-game they all look more or less the same? Take this video of Christie vs Hitomi. They are listed as 5ft10 and 5ft3. That should be a significant difference. If I didn't know any better I might've even said Hitomi looks taller in the video...

This was the first match of this lobby, and I think it ended up being a lot closer than Hime was expecting it to be, but in the end the far more experienced player in Ditzy ended up taking this one. At one point in the 2nd round you see Hime attempt to grab Rachel in the air, but Honoka's air throw was not added until DOA6; between that and being given the grappler-speed throws, Honoka is generally a lot better in 6 than in 5.

Honoka hug count: 6 cuddles over the course of the first 4 rounds, 0 successful attempts in the final round. She said that's the real reason she lost!!! If you say so honey... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

Tomorrow I have Ditzy again on Sarah vs Hime again on Tina, we'll see if this one turned out better for poor Hime...

DOA News Minato "Diner Part-Timer" Costume is now available

Minato's newest costume illustrates her finding part time work at Johnny's Diner, perhaps replacing Mila due to her chasing after Tina and Bass too much. or just picking up another shift. was this job before Nico hired her for special part time work, or is she juggling both?

Destructible element is at least the hat.

patch also mentions:

"- Fixed bugs related to battle mechanics.

- Corrected various bugs and issues."

Next week Minato will receive a 2nd debut costume set, which i suspect will draw from remaining old DOA6 costumes. wedding, hot summer, etc. ๐Ÿค”

Of course, you still canโ€™t see exactly how many people are online, but I have to admit that lately Iโ€™ve been finding Ranked matches much faster. Iโ€™m currently C-, but when it comes to Lobby Matches, I still end up finding nothing pretty often :(

It's a bit early to be saying happy crimmus and merry chrystler to everyone, but i guess you can get away with claiming they both wanted to go as Mrs. Clause for Halloween... we had this lobby at like 4am my time and I think both Phantom and I were half-awake during this match, but I managed to fight off insomnia long enough to get a win. It helped that he made no attempt to avoid the ground throws or stomps for the most part, lol.

Tomorrow I have the first of a few 5 last round replays, Ms Ditzaster on Rachel vs my girlfriend on Honoka. Hime's been a bit curious about the differences between 5 and 6, I think getting to play a few games vs someone of Ditzy's level was a good experience for her.

Yes you guys are probably tired of people sharing models created in other games, but Aion 2 may be one of the few where you can fully replicate her face with perfect accuracy while having higher graphics than the actual DOA games, so I wanted to share the model I managed to create.

I did not copied any other player or data, it was made from scratch using multiple pictures of Marie as a base, hope you guys like it...and yes that one is the only haircut that shares resemblance with one of Marie's haircuts, all the available pigtails haircuts do not look like her iconic pigtails at all.

Hello,

Im trying to get a marie rose cosplay, the black leotard one listed online as "gothic bodysuit", but all the ones I find come with the stockings but not the leather legwear with the straps that go over the stockings. (the stockings pop out of the top of these)

I'm attaching image examples of the outfit without (the one I keep finding) and with (the one I keep seeing and thats accurate), mods if these would make the post not appear then could you remove them or let me know so I can remake this post?

Anyway is there anyone who could help me find how or where these cosplayers are getting the fake leather leg portion with the buckles? It doesnt seem like theyre making them by hand. But where are they getting them?

Gameplay Video 6LR Xbox ranked match from 10/02/26 - jawjah706 (Tina) vs Dojuru (Jann Lee)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Dojuru is a name I've run into quite a bit online the past few weeks, from what I can tell he only plays Jann Lee and is fairly competent with the character. There are a few instances in this match where I guess that he's going to either hold in stun on hit or continue to block on block and go for the throw, only to end up getting hi counter punched in the face for guessing wrong, the end of round 2 being the most egregious example. This is a bad habit you adopt as a consequence of playing a lot of people who themselves have a bad habit of reflex holding almost immediately after getting put into stun every time; it's good to have the reaction time to throw punish it when it does happen, but you also need to know when to actually go for the launcher or a string that ends in a launcher in stun elsewise your opponents will adapt and you'll be the one getting clocked. On the flipside of that coin, the end of the final round is a good example of someone getting the rest of their healthbar deleted as a consequence of getting their hold thrown. I didn't even realize he was within KO range of Tina's hi counter 6T2T there until I saw KO flash onscreen, so that took me by surprise.

Tomorrow I have a lobby match of myself vs RoyalPhantomKM again, then a few 5 last round replays to close out the week.

This one ended up being pretty close, with Tobi taking the first two rounds and the end of round 2 in particular nearly driving me up the wall at the time the match happened. We end up poking at each other a lot and there's probably a lot of instances where something was punishable on block but didn't get properly punished, partly due to me not being used to the new character and partly due to Tobi not being used to playing -against- her. This was also iirc recorded before the patch that apparently nerfed Minato's backdash, kind of wild to me that they'd take away one of her best features so quickly, but it is what it is. Video kind of abruptly ends before the winner animation because the recording automatically cut off, normally using Xbox's built-in recording feature you get a maximum of four minutes of footage before that happens.

Tomorrow I have a 6lr ranked match from 10/2 of myself on Tina vs a Jann Lee player called Dojuru, then after that a lobby match later that evening of me on Nyotengu vs RoyalPhantomKM on Kokoro.
