re: Dead or Alive?

Good Question.

My initial reaction is "I have no freaking clue" but if you think about it, maybe their refering to Hayate and Ein with his memory loss? Or Kasumi's running away from being a ninja? Maybe their talking about Helena and Donavon or somthing like that...

Maybe it's about Ayane and her quest to get revenge on Kasumi? I dunno, if I had to guess, those are possibilities. Anyone got any ideas? OR, maybe were thinking too hard. Maybe it's a question similar to this one...

"Why is a tree a tree?"

*shrugs* Thats about all I can think of for it, sorry I didn't really help ya much

Don't have to go off topic, anyways I think the name ' Dead or Alive ' came from one of the producers heads, they might have encountered something like them being dead of alive.
You get what I mean.

re: Dead or Alive?

for starters, a tree is called a tree because i said it was, and team ninja didnt know of any titles to give a fighting game, so they called it dead or alive

re: Dead or Alive?

Hey guys it ain't that hard to figure out where the title came from. The DOA series is a fighting tournament in each game right, and basically the title means you either come out the DOA tournament DEAD or ALIVE. Get it?
There is another thing that i read about the title, i'll see if i can find it some time.

re: Dead or Alive?

The game was called Ddead Or Alive because Tecmo was near bankrupt back then. If this game didn't sell, they would have to shut down. So, in a sense it's dead (bankrupt) or alive (back in business).

re: Dead or Alive?

He speaks the truth. Itagaki explains it in an episode of "Icons," a show on G4Tech TV. It is also an unlockable movie in DOAU. It should become available after you've unlocked all of the costumes in the game, along with the DOA3 Booster Disc.

You can also watch it here.

re: Dead or Alive?

Hmm... That is odd. You may need to have a DOA3 save on your Xbox HDD.

re: Dead or Alive?

I do, I have DOA3 (I even have DOAX), I collected most costumes for DOA3 and I've never deleted a savegame of my X-Box HDD in my life.
