After a disclaimer from Team Ninja, which read: ”Keep in mind that the game is still in development, so things could change between now and the final version”, the developer began discussing some of the features in the game, including those that were seen in the alpha video.
First off, they tweeted about a new mechanic which they called Power Blows: “The part where time slows down and Hayate hits Hayabusa back into the steel beams–that’s a Power Blow. The fighter doing a Power Blow has a little time to change the direction. So you could choose what Danger Zone to send an opponent into.”
Aside from that, it seems not much has changed from the core gameplay, as they explained: Some of you have questions about the core systems and moves you see in the pre-alpha gameplay. In the footage, they haven’t changed very much from the past,” and then after restated their disclaimer. ”Just keep in mind that we’re still pre-alpha. We do have a new concept for the core fighting as well, though. And we’ll definitely talk to you more about it when there’s something solid to show.”
Are you looking forward to Dead or Alive 5?
