INTRODUCTION
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Once more, hello again! =). Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore is such a great game
with ultra-flashy graphics and intense gameplay. Compared to the previous
versions of Dead or Alive 2 (US/JAP Dreamcast and JAP PS2), this one includes
new characters and new costumes. Seeing that I made a guide for its ancestor,
Dead or Alive for the Playstation, I decided to create characters guides for
DOA2: Hardcore. I’ll be concentrating on the ladies first and then I’ll
create guides for the men. After all, DOA is famous for its gorgeous and sexy
women. =)

GUIDE INFO
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
For this guide, I’ll be using these to represent the different movements or
positions for the moves.
u = Up BT = Your back turned (back faced from opponent)
uf = Up and Forward OC = Opponent is Crouching
f = Forward P = Punch
df = Down and Forward K = Kick
d = Down F = Free Button
db = Down and Backward OD = Opponent is Down
b = Backward WR = While Rising
ub = Up and Backward HD = Hold down button preceding this symbol
W = Execute next button after .5 seconds
NW = Next to Wall
BE = Backs turned against each other
CB1= You’re crouching with your back facing opponent
CB2= Opponent is crouching and his/her back is facing you
OB = Opponent’s back is facing you
Now, I’ll try to explain the difference between uf+P,P and uf,P,P. In the
first one, uf and Punch should be pushed at the same time then press another
punch. For the second one, push uf first then press Punch, and then Punch
again.

Story
=====
Tina is one of the best pro-wrestlers around. She also has one of the best
bodies in DOA. Tina has gone wayward from his father’s dream of what she should
be. Her father’s dream is for her to grow to be a lady. And yet, she went the
other way and exposed herself by fashion modeling and wrestling. But at the end,
she and her father will finally tie their severed family knot.
Tina is also known to be the type of Zack who desperately tries to get Tina’s
attention. She doesn’t care though. =)

SPECIAL MOVES AND COMBOS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
For the description of the moves (as well as the other sections of this guide
that has a description column in it), I just invented some of the names
(applicable to those that I’ve discovered).
Note: Juggle means to attack you opponent continuously while he/she is still
in the air. This is nice to look at and very damaging. Combos are a series of
moves that damage the opponent successively, making him/her unable to
retaliate quickly.

TAG BATTLE TIPS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Since Tina has a longer range and oftentimes a more successful throw/hold
attempt, performing the tag attacks will be much easier with her whoever her
partner is. But when fighting comes in, she is rather slow and she will most
likely need the help of her partner. Don’t let Tina stay long, rely on your
partner when you plan to attack. Remember that Tina is excellent at throwing so
use her to your advantage.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SURVIVAL TIPS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Tina is a hard character to use at a Survival Game. She is slow in terms of her
attacks. Her best bet would her powerful and effective throws. Don’t get too
hasty and don’t rush to beat the current opponent. Plan your moves well so that
Tina won’t get damaged easily and you’ll have life to spare on the next
opponent. Try your best to throw your opponents into oblivion.

FAQs - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

GAMEPLAY TIPS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1. Try to master the Hold Button. Countering an opponent is always a key to
winning the battle. Remember that Holding off opponent’s moves can be done in
High, Mid, or Lower sections.
2. Master also the throws. These give off a very big amount of damage to the
opponent.
3. If a punch or a kick of an enemy can’t reach you, try to counter it with a
punch or kick of your own.
4. Master Tina’s uf+K and uf+P. These 2 are very good combo openers and
mastering them will give you an advantage.
