Dead or Alive 5 Last Round to Add Costumes Based On Characters from Fairy Tail Anime

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is no stranger to collaborative costume packs. To add to the growing list of such costumes, a recent issue of Weekly Famitsu Magazine has given fans their first look at DOA’s most recent crossover.

This time the characters of Dead or Alive are going to be graced with costumes based on the Fairy Tail anime and manga series.

The magazine stated that the newest batch of DLC will be available sometime this month. There are a ton of characters within the Fairy Tail universe, so it will be interesting to see which ones get the DOA costume treatment.

Fairy Tail was created by Hiro Mashima, who is also the creator of the Rave Master anime and manga series. Fairy Tail is currently being serialized within Weekly Shonen Magazine with a new anime series “in the works.”

Learn How to Turn May’s Mixups into a Touch of Death in Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-

May has always been a heavy hitter. It’s built into her character design: easily lugging around an anchor that rivals her size. However, in Xrd, she has been given a slew of new mixup tools that make her pressure much more complex and difficult to block. May can set a hoop, release a dolphin from it, and ride the dolphin—this is old news. The newer mixup comes from the fact that she can then cancel this dolphin ride into an air normal and maintain the extreme forward momentum. This creates a devastating 50/50 mixup based on whether she chooses to hit high or land and hit low.

Now a player (Ice Cube) has turned this concept into a 100% combo off the 50/50 mixup. It requires the small amount of guard gauge from the few blocked normals beforehand, as well as 100% tension and burst meter.

High hit using j.H (jumping Heavy slash):

Low hit, faking out with j.2H (jumping down+Heavy Slash):

If you’re cornered against May, it’s likely you’ve already taken some damage, and therefore the guard gauge may not be necessary–maybe not even the second overdrive. But who doesn’t love finishing an opponent with the whale super?
