In this vein, Itagaki made a wager with the head of the company, assuring the president he would create a video game that would garner a competent fan base.īecause of the wager, Itagaki named the series "Dead or Alive" to demonstrate the series' fail or succeed status and proceeded to form a division in the company named "Team Ninja". Itagaki had recently become a programmer for Tecmo, which was in need of a hit to boost sagging game sales. The DOA series is designed by programmer Tomonobu Itagaki. The tag mode also included special throws unique to certain pairs of characters and allows for the participation of four players, something not common in the genre. In Dead or Alive 2, the series implemented its tag fighting system, allowing characters to switch back and forth for combo attacks and even attack simultaneously when timed correctly. There is a general rock-paper-scissors element to the game and essentially boils everything down to timing and ability to read the enemy's style. There is only one button for punch, kick, throw and guard, with the player rarely having to combine more than two different input schemes together at a time.

The series controls also make the instances of speed and simplicity more congruent with the focus of timing and combos in mind, as the commands for basic attacks are widely considered more straightforward than most video games. Like other modern fighting games that attempt to emulate real life martial arts, DOA's input system is designed so controls correspond game character's actions if the character moves forward with a punch, the controls most likely would include the punch input and pressing forward on the directional pad. Counter holds must be timed correctly and match the direction of the attack being countered. Beginning with the original Dead or Alive, players could tap the guard button and a direction corresponding with the anticipated attack, which would do a powerful counterattack. One of DOA's most innovative additions to the genre is its countering system. There is an emphasis on juggling since countering and fast recovery times prevent slow, technical sets of moves in most instances. In comparison to others in the fighting game genre, such as Virtua Fighter, the series places emphasis on striking characters quickly and efficiently.
The Dead or Alive series focuses on fast-paced gameplay in a three-dimensional playing field.
