QNU – Dead or Alive 6 Diego Reveal Gameplay Trailer

Here is an overview of each fighter, from my friends IGN.

Diego

A street-fighting brawler who grew up in the back alleys of New York, newcomer Diego brings a range of hard-hitting moves including headbutts and tackles when he makes his Dead or Alive debut. Diego started entering street matches to win money to support his ailing mother, and quickly became known as New York’s “uncrowned street hero.” With a talent for fighting in confined quarters, his anything-goes full-body-contact move-set is visceral and raw. See his reveal trailer above.

Rig

Returning from Dead or Alive 5 is antagonist and taekwondo master Rig. As before, the former oil-platform worker uses a variety of kick-based attacks, but in Dead or Alive 6, his style has evolved to incorporate more dynamic and acrobatic moves as well. Rig can be seen in the new trailer challenging Diego to fight, bringing him into the Dead or Alive ring for the first time.

The full roster of currently announced playable characters now includes Diego, Helena Douglas, Hayate, Kasumi, Jann Lee, Rig, Ryu Hayabusa, and Zack.

Dead or Alive 6 is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in early 2019. It will be playable for the first time by the public at Evo 2018, which runs from August 3 to 4 in Las Vegas.

Mars has a great deal of physical strength, Immense Endurance, an enormous amount of Magic Power and an affinity to more than one element, crystal and fire for attacking, defending or recovery purposes. Through these affinities, Mars is able to use spells from both fire magic and crystal magic simultaneously.

Rinoa is compassionate, warm, and friendly, although she can act stubborn and naive. Rinoa father heads up the Galbadian military so she joins a resistance movement as rebellion against her father.
