Ky-Dragon has made history in the Dead or Alive community being the first to win a tournament with The King of Fighters guest character, Kula Diamond at the Sonic Boom major in Madrid, Spain! While this was not scored as a Dead or Alive 6 World Championship event, it was an excellent showcase of how players are evolving with the game as more characters and gameplay tweaks are introduced. Congratulate Ky-Dragon on his victory and the rest of the fighters for a superb display of skill, and if you missed any of the action check out MadridFGC's Twitch video archive and Smash.GG standings to catch-up!


Their first match begins at 'Chinese Festival' and Dr. Impact changes things up...

87+ players in the community competed in the biggest chapter so far within the Dead or Alive 6 World Championship, finally being involved with one of the largest tournament majors in the world, Community Effort Orlando. This was the first tournament to run on version 1.06 and to feature new The King of Fighters guests: Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond. You can view the complete bracket at Smash.GG, also be sure to congratulate XcaliburBladeZ for his monumental win and all of the other competitors in the community that made it out to the big one!


The first...

A couple of months ago prior to DOA6's release, Team Ninja announced that Mai Shiranui and another guest character from The King of Fighters series would be joining the roster. It was later to be revealed that K' Team's own Ice Doll, Kula Diamond, would be the latest guest character joining the fray alongside with Mai in the latest DLC trailer for DOA6.


Mai needs no introduction. She retains most of her signature moves that were featured in DOA5 Last Round, along with additional new moves taken from KOF14 such as her Climax Super Special Move, Shiranui-Ryuu Ougi Kunoichi. Kula brings the uniqueness to the roster with her ice-based attacks that can freeze her opponents during combos, making it the first in the series to utilize ice elements in DOA.

Version 1.06 patch is the latest patch that coincides with the latest DLC release. There are several changes that were made to the game aside from the usual character changes and bug fixes for...

Sorry to have kept you guys waiting

Team NINJA's latest patch for Dead or Alive 6 is a questionable one that fixes some minuscule annoyances, but also manages to create new problems while major glitches and bugs continue to exist in their current fighting system. Changes to the Side Attack (SA) and gauge meter are the most controversial adjustments, and will be the main focal point of this news post. Though it's worth mentioning that a low number of negligible character balance changes continue within this patch and you can peruse the patch notes via Team NINJA's official website.

The gauge meter now changes to purple once 100% filled, and is now divided up into four separate blocks. Each block is worth 50 gauge points, and is the new cost of inputting an SA. Because of this, you can no longer freely combine the SA to hit environments or...

The second offline point tournament for the Dead or Alive 6 World Championship has concluded in Japan with a stunning victory from Keisuke! Team NINJA's Master is currently working with organizers in Japan to get a high quality replay uploaded to their official YouTube, along with him updating the point leader-board for DOA6WC that can be found via the DOA6 website. If you missed the live stream, this Japanese event was recorded in multiple languages and you can check out the complete bracket with Top 8 included at Smash.GG.

Team NINJA has released the 1.04 update for Dead or Alive 6 on PS4, XBOX ONE and Steam. 'The Pirates of the 7 Seas' costumes (included in the Season 1 Pass) and full patch notes are now available. This new patch is not just embedded with bonus content, but fixes and tweaks a plethora of issues pertaining to bugs, characters and stages.

Version 1.04 strengthens the game with a bevy of new additions including: 15 stage BGM tracks, a replay save option to lobby matches, a new leader-boards section, the new costumes plus new character intros and win poses. A toggle-able option in the fight settings for exposure minimization has also been included for fighters that might want to leave a little more to the imagination. Just for playing you get 100,000 Player Points added to your account, so be sure to login...

The Dead or Alive 6 World Championship kicked off in Lyon, France at The Mixup 2019 with XcaliburBladeZ taking home the prized belt defeating Gehaktbal in Grand Finals. This tournament was a great reminder to the FGC that DOA6 is a true offline experience and is at its best in an esports environment. Top 8 was full of surprises and clutch fights, but the game also shined in pools where players like Bonus Stage, Bram's and Dr. Impact floored everyone spectating.

Since DOA6 released last month, young BladeZ has won 7 events with 5 of them being consecutive NLBC victories. Now that players are becoming more familiar with the new system, it will be interesting to see how many more professional and newcomers alike start attending these big events to attempt throwing off this nearly unstoppable beast. If you don't want to watch this prize fighter win...

Big E Gaming's April Annihilation concluded for Dead or Alive 6 with incredibly high level talent in Top 8 and XcaliburBladeZ winning the tournament with Eliot. You can watch the complete pools stream at Kick-Punch-Block's video archive on Twitch, but you are required to subscribe to the channel. KPB has uploaded most of the available streamed matches on their Youtube channel for your educational and entertainment purposes.

Dead or Alive 6 is currently in a good place offline with plenty of tournaments, a world championship and these awesome NLBC events hosted weekly by Team Sp00ky in Brooklyn, New York! These regular offline tournaments give fighters in the area a chance to play professionally, practice on commentary and earn money plus screen-time for themselves. @XcaliburBladeZ has currently won five times in a row since the release of DOA6, @Rikuto took 1st place at NLBC 160, with competitors like @Jager @BlackBerry and @Rabies also coming close to...

The Southern California Dead or Alive community has been very active since the March 1st release of DOA 6. There has been a strong showing from long time veterans of the game as well as newcomers. @iHajinShinobi and his slippery Ayane has taken the top spot in all 3 of the SoCal tourneys thus far. I for one am eagerly awaiting Crazy Steady vs @iHajinShinobi whenever the planets align. The SoCal scene is dedicated to growing in numbers and in skill and has regularly scheduled tournaments and casual play.


WNF tourneys are currently held on a bi-weekly basis with casuals held in the off weeks. The next WNF tourney will be on 04/03/2019


Super Arcade Tournaments are held monthly and the next tourney will be held on 04/20/2019.

The buffering glitch originating in Dead or Alive 4 has resurrected in Dead or Alive 6. This glitch did not occur in Dead or Alive Dimensions or Dead or Alive 5, but found its way back with Dead or Alive 6.

If you perform a move that uses your special wake-up attack's input, and are then put on the ground in your special wake-up attack position, any button you press ( or ) will force you to do your special wake-up attack. In Dead or Alive 4, this buffer would last upwards of four (4) seconds after the input has been performed. So you'd have to sit on the ground for up to four seconds before you can safely attempt to tech up or wake-up kick.


This is especially problematic for...

Crazy Steady successfully defeated the extremely impressive Black Berry in Grand Finals to win Final Round 2019! This was a competitive event that was filled to the brim with top-tier DOA5 players and new players alike making a smooth transition to Dead or Alive 6. Complete your Final Round experience by observing the pools replay from Bifuteki and peruse standings at the FR Smash.GG.

Dead or Alive 6 offline is starting its life in the right direction with 87 fighters registered to the Final Round 2019 tournament and Big E Gaming's April Annihilation on the way. The game being featured weekly by @TeamSp00ky at NLBC is also proving DOAs powerful and growing...

Team NINJA has released Dead or Alive 6: Core Fighters alongside the 1.02 update patch notes that fixes various bugs and makes adjustments to characters. Even though the full list of changes have been released by Team NINJA, fighters are strongly encouraged to share and compile any possible hidden tech here at FSD. New players can get involved with DOA by installing Core Fighters for free on any platform and will have plenty of options to learn the game and characters at their own pace.

For simply checking out DOA6 you get Diego, a new character, for free. Also included for free: Kasumi, Bass and Hitomi! Team NINJA picked a strong assortment of characters to start off your DOA6 experience that will properly teach you different weights/classes. Additional characters are 3.99 and can also be purchased in bundles with the story being sold separately for 20.00 as a fun optional add-on...

After months of waiting players will finally be able to launch Dead or Alive 6 on Steam, PS4 and XBOX ONE with a Day 1 Patch! Team NINJA has released the visual renders for all 25 'Deluxe Set' costumes to those that purchase a Digital Deluxe version of DOA6. You can also look forward to playing Phase 4 if you bought the Digital Deluxe, and Nyo-Tengu for simply ordering the game before launch!

The Day 1 patch will grant access to Nyo-Tengu, Phase 4 and the Deluxe costumes, fixes various system issues and initiates game balancing beyond the final build that will also add a rematch option for rank and throw-downs to various modes of DOA6. You are required to have Playstation Plus or XBOX LIVE to access the online multiplayer features, but you can fight for free on the Steam platform. If your system can handle it the PC...

Thanks to Big E Gaming and Team NINJA's Master, Dead or Alive 6 made the cut this weekend as a featured game at Winter Brawl: 3D Edition after a 2-week delay canceled its original tournament debut. Despite the short notice and registration deadlines for the event, DOA6 still attracted 800+ active viewers regularly in pools through the TSB Blaze live stream. Watch our first major conclude with Top 8 at 11:30am PT or 2:30pm EST time at Bifuteki to see why everyone is currently talking about DOA6.

After a highly intense and competitive series of fights in pools Top 8 has been revealed: @Rikuto @Sly Bass @Jager @EmeryReigns @BBoyDragon @LordXav1er @XZero264 and @YinCrescent a superb roster of players that are very capable of showcasing DOA6 this early on at its...

Despite a two week delay and tournament cancellation, Big E Gaming and Team NINJA were able to resurrect the Winter Brawl debut of DOA6, and the decision to do that has paid off greatly. The players want to see DOA6 in its final build, and they want proof that it's going to be heading into the esports direction since it has been the focal point of Team NINA's marketing for the game. Team NINJA has played every card with the weekend demo, the announcement of DOA6 World Championship and now Winter Brawl 3D showcasing its tournament viability less than a week before release.

When tournament organizers attract some of the best offline DOA players to sign up, utilize exceptional talent for the commentary that know what they are talking about and have it presented on stream by someone that cares about the game, you really can't go wrong. The community can get involved offline or online with the demo and really educate themselves to the system this weekend. The hype is flowing heavy...

You might not get Dead or Alive 6 as early as Free Step Dodge, Sonic Fox (and now his brother Kwiggle), but you will be able try all of the characters for yourself in the weekend demo (PS+ or XBOX LIVE required) that starts this Friday. While that's happening you can also spectate DOA6s first major appearance at Winter Brawl 3D if you didn't register for the tournament on time. Thanks to Sonic Fox's streamed matches with Xcalibur BladeZ, the community is already beginning to find some new complex mechanics in DOA6s final build.

All three streams had something valuable to share with the community for DOA6. Matt Ponton covered frame data and move lists, sharing information for characters like Bass...

Team NINJA presented DOA6 today at EVO Japan in Fukuoka starting at 8pm Pacific Time. The stream was live via openrec, and the event started with a professional player exhibition and ended with Shimbori presenting information for DOA6. Every character will be unlocked for attendees at EVO Japan, and special DOA6 demos from Siologica and Teru Rock were live streamed.

DOA World Championship was revealed at the show with 90k up for grabs and more details coming soon. Just a few weeks ago I expressed the importance of a championship in my opinion piece, and it's good to see that they do have serious plans in the works for DOAs offline community. A timed demo will be coming out...
