                           =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Hello everyone! Some of you might know me as an RPG game writer. Now, Ill be
trying to move on to other types of games. This will be the first time that
Ill be writing a guide for a fighting game so please understand. If you see
something wrong, just tell me. Theyre more than welcome. :)

Now, Dead or Alive has been one of the most innovative 3D fighting games for
the Playstation. It has this cool danger zone that when you fall there from
an attack, youll bounce off which allows your opponent to do more damage to
you. Its really cool especially the girls. Although the animation of the,
you know what, is somewhat exaggerated, its cool to see them in different
costumes. Now, each of the character has his/her own fighting styles and I
personally chose Ayane as my favorite. Now, I present to you my Lei-Fang
character guide.

Version 1.1 (Started: January 2, 2001)
---------------------------------------
        - New Moves
        - Individual Character Guide Update
        - Costumes

                                 GUIDE INFO
                          =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

For this guide, Ill be using these to represent the different movements or
positions for the moves.

u  = Up                   BT  = Your back turned (facing away from opponent)
uf = Up and Forward       OC  = Opponent is Crouching
f  = Forward              P   = Punch
df = Down and Forward     K   = Kick
d  = Down                 H   = Hold
db = Down and Backward    OD  = Opponent is Down
b  = Backward             OB  = Opponents Back is Turned
ub = Up and Backward      OBC = Opponents Back is Turned and Crouching

Now, Ill try to explain the difference between uf+P,P and uf,P,P. In the
first one, uf and Punch should be pushed at the same time then press another
punch. For the second one, push uf first then press Punch, and then Punch
again.

                                SPECIAL MOVES
                          =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

For the description of the moves (as well as the other sections of this guide
that has a description column in it), I just invented the names, as of now,
because I have a Japanese Version. Although, I do know how to
read/write/speak Japanese (Hiragana and Katakana), Im not knowledgeable to
most of the Kanji.

                          =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

To be able to pull off the throws and holds, you must be right beside and as
close as possible to your opponents. Remember that, you cannot use the throws
without the (OC) if the opponent is crouching and vice versa.

                          =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Combos are a series of moves/special moves that when successfully pulled off,
will deal a big amount of damage. Also, its very fun to watch. Some combos,
require skill as some requires only the knowledge of pushing buttons. Some
needs timing while some doesnt need.

                         INDIVIDUAL CHARCATER GUIDE
                     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

======
KASUMI
======

As always, Kasumi is one tough fighter. She is fond of finishing almost all
of her combos with a low kick so whenever you see her start a combo, prepare
for a low kick all the time. Your best bet is doing Counters for her moves.
Good counters include the f+P and the d,f+P attacks. This catches her off
guard most of the time. Another good counter is the H+P+K. But, if you want
to finish her off with a nice combo, I observed that ub+P is a good starter.

====
TINA
====

For Tina, try to stay away from her as she is very fond of throwing her
opponent. She is also fond of using her Knee Attacks so watch out. These
moves are effective against her, in my opinion and in what I have observed.
The b+P,P combo, the Tackle: b+P,f+P, and the H+K. If you are good in poking,
it is advisable to stay close to her.

========
LEI-FANG
========

Its really hard fighting your alter ego. When you face Lei-Fang, try to stay
away as she can do lots of things at you when youre close especially
throwing. You can use b+P or f+P as counters. If you are fond of blocking the
punches and kicks of your opponents, youll have a very hard time doing it
against Lei-Fang.

=====
AYANE
=====

As with Tina, the b+P,f+P move is very effective especially when used as a
counter attack. Try your best also to block her attacks as she is one of the
best attackers in the game. She does various punches and kicks and its very
unpredictable. A good move is the f+P. Most of the time, youll get her with
that one. The same goes for b+P

========
HAYABUSA
========

========
JANN-LEE
========

======
BAYMAN
======

====
ZACK

RAIDOU

GEN-FU
