The latest fighters to join Dead or Alive 5 are Christie and Bayman. Both characters have been redesigned in “incredible lifelike detail,” and have had their play styles “finely honed and perfected.”
Bayman, returning from the first Dead or Alive, is a former assassin and “hold” specialist who fights with the Russian military hand-to-hand combat technique known as Sambo. A perfectionist, his only goal is ultimate victory.
Christie, returning from Dead or Alive 3., is a British female assassin and cold-blooded, merciless fighter. She fights with the Shequan (Snake Fist) style, dodging attacks like a snake as she approaches her enemies for a single, but final blow.
A video vignette highlighting the pair can be seen below. In the background you’ll see the all-new Hot Zone stage, which features environmental shifts that may prove to be a strategic benefit to the player. Additionally, you can find a new set of screenshots at the gallery.
