[1-1]Fighting Terms (2)

Confused by fighting game lingo? This guide breaks down essential Dead or Alive 6 terms like P, K, H, T, and directional inputs (789, 456, 123) so you can fight like a pro.

Alright, before we dive deeper into the action, there are a few key terms you absolutely need to get a handle on. I'll be using these throughout the guide, so understanding them now will make everything else way clearer.

First up, the basic actions:

• P = Punch
• K = Kick
• H = Hold
• T = Throw

Next, let's talk about movement. We'll use the number pad to show which direction to press on your D-Pad or Analog Stick. Think of it like this:

7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

• 7 = Up Left
• 8 = Up
• 9 = Up Right
• 4 = Left
• 6 = Right
• 1 = Down Left
• 2 = Down
• 3 = Down Right

Just a heads-up: '5' means no directional input, but we won't really use that one here. The 'Left' and 'Right' directions (4 and 6) can be a bit tricky because they depend on which side of the arena your character is on. When you're on the left side, 6P means a forward punch. Simple enough, right?

But here's the catch: If you switch to the right side of the arena, those inputs flip! So, if you're on the right and press 6P, you'll actually perform your character's backwards punch. Always keep an eye on your character's position – it's super important for landing the right moves!
