Rematch option in Lobbies and balance changes also implemented
Version 1.06 is a big update for fans of Dead Or Alive 6. This update adds the final portion of DLC content contained in the game’s first Season Pass, guest characters Mai Shiranui (returning from Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round) and Kula Dimond from SNK’s King Of Fighters XIV.
The pair come packed with a set of maid, pirate, nurse, and bunny costumes based off of the themed costume bundles released for the other fighters within the Season Pass. Additionally, there have been some various quality-of-life improvements to the game, such as the addition of rematches to Lobbies, expanded text chat availability, as well as addressing some other pesky bugs.
Kasumi, Helena, Bass, Hayate, Leifang, Ayane, Eliot, La Mariposa, Brad, Hitomi, Mila, Bayman, Honoka, NiCO, and Phase-4 have also received some minor balance adjustments. Version 1.06a released a few days afterward, patching various aspects of the newly released characters and Hitomi. You can read the full patch notes for version 1.06 and 1.06a Team Ninja’s site.

Mai is capable of stopping your side steps and side attacks with her Special Move “Ryuuenbu”. Be careful when trying to side step her or else you may pay severely for it. #DOA6 #DEADORALIVE6 #KOFXIV pic.twitter.com/FNwWZm3s7A
