PS3/Xbox360 『DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Ultimate』
----- The Tournament ----
The DOA5U tournament held recently at Team NINJA.
Now that things have finally begun to quiet down on the development side, the tournament was planned as a relaxing break for the dev team. A few even practiced pretty seriously in advance. But whether it was due to nerves, the unfamiliar environment, or for whatever reason, everyone seemed to be falling prey to bad luck. Even our reigning tournament champion was taken out on the first match.
But in the end, experience and knowledge will always win out. The final match came down to GAKU, in charge of game balance, and Shimbori, the director of DOA5U who knows the game in and out.
Was GAKU able to beat the boss at his own game??
---- Comments from the Fighters ----
・1P: GAKU (Balance Designer) - Hitomi
"I was really nervous playing against the Director. Thanks to all his trash-talking, I messed up on the Power Launcher combo I had been practicing. Sorry for not playing as well as I'd expected."
・2P: TN-Shimbori (Director) - Leifang
"My pride was on the line. I couldn't afford to lose. So when he missed the Power Launcher Combo, I started teasing him and giving him a hard time, and that ended up being my downfall. My abuse of power didn't faze him at all, and he completely wiped the floor with me. He has great potential."
