Gameplay
New features include slow-motion moments and visible damage on the fighters during the course of the fight, while the sweat effects from Dead or Alive 5 return and are more pronounced. Dead or Alive 6 also marks the first time for the series to have costume customization mode. Contrary to some early reports, breast physics, however, are still part of the game but can be user-adjusted just like the game's new blood and violence options.
The game is supposed to be more accessible for newcomers. New mechanics introduced are the Fatal Rush, a beginner-friendly mechanic where pressing one button multiple times results in the character performing a simple combo, and the Break Gauge, a meter that builds up as the characters attack. If the Gauge is full, a Fatal Rush will culminate in a move similar to what the Critical Blow in Dead or Alive 5would does. There is a new mechanic named the Fatal Reversal, where the character reverses an opponent, stunning them, before appearing behind them, open for a counter. The juggling ground-bounce system in this game is also being enhanced to extend juggle combos.
Characters
The game currently has 27 playable fighters. According to the developers during an interview, it will not feature the characters who were introduced in Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Venus Vacation and Scarlet. Possible future DLC characters include Momiji from Ninja Gaiden. There will also be two SNK guest characters, including Mai Shiranui returning from Dead or Alive 5 Last Round. The other SNK guest is as of yet unknown.
New
