Veterans limbering up for ‘Dead Or Alive 5’ (360, PS3)

‘Dead Or Alive 5’ kicked off Gamescom this morning with the announcement that two returning fighters, Brad Wong and Eliot, will be stepping into the ring once again.

Referred to as the “immovable apprentice,” Eliot is a Xing Yi Quan prodigy under the tutelage of master Gen Fu. The youngest contestant in the DOA tournament, Eliot has a polite and respectful attitude toward his rivals but can be very aggressive and impatient during a fight. Fast on his feet, he uses coordinated movements to generate bursts of power, overwhelming his opponents while simultaneously defending and attacking.

Brad Wong, having concluded his search for the legendary wine Genra, returns toDead or Alive 5 with his unique fighting style. The “Druken Master” continues to exhibit the distinct moves of Zui Quan, confusing his opponents with his well-balanced style that employs a combination of hard-to-predict evasive maneuvers and quick strikes.

To showcase these two characters, Team NINJA has released all-new images of Brad Wong and Eliot fighting in a small Chinese house. This new stage is another example of the vivid interactive stages in Dead or Alive 5, as characters can be kicked through walls and windows and destroy their surroundings as they fight to win!

Dead or Alive 5 will also include an extensive online mode, allowing players to test their skill against opponents from around the globe.
