Line 10:
** Similarly, La Mariposa/Lisa also gets quite a bit of hate for her personality and fighting style.
** Among the games themselves, the later games (especially ''Dead or Alive 4'') can be considered this, especially with the counters getting progressively easier to do. A common accusation thrown by fighting game fans is that the counters killed off any sort of offense in the game since everything is easily countered.

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|Big-Lipped Alligator Moment]]: In the final cut scene of Helena's ''Dead or Alive 4'' story and ''Dead or Alive: Dimensions''' story-line. Everything's going to hell. Then suddenly, there's this shot where some random woman who wasn't seen in any other part of the game is being shot in the head. Why it seems so out of place is because this was a cinematic cut scene, which none of the cinematic ones had any extras in up until this point. What made this shot even more jarring was that pretty much all other extras in the game are all blank-faced clones who all seem to shop from the same clothing store. Many character endings from the first four games could also qualify. Some even look completely out of character. Why does Kasumi dream of being a (naked) mermaid in what looks like a J-Pop music video?▼
** The first ''Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball'' got quite a few good reviews for being a pretty solid volleyball video game.▼
* [[Broken Base]]: The fanbase is split into two main factions: Those that prefer the original fighting series, and those who prefer the soft-porn beach side-series. Similarly, the second faction is in itself split over whether or not to include an official nude option (which, aside from various hacks within those games and an April Fools Day joke from EGM, no such option actually exists).
** And now there's a new split based on the announcement by Team Ninja that they're toning down the fanservice (and breast sizes) in ''Dead or Alive 5''.
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
** Donovan is even worse, seeing how he's the one who arranged for Christie to murder Helena's parents death, and is pretty much responsible for everything wrong in the series, and if ''Dead or Alive: Dimensions'''s stinger is anything to go by, he's also using the mask he created to become stronger.
* [[Crack is Cheaper|Crack Is Cheaper]]: As mentioned below in [[Internet Backdraft]],buying all the costumes for ''Dead or Alive 5'' will cost you more than a brand new [[Xbox One]] or [[PS4]].
▲* [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper]]: Does anyone even remember that it was a [[Fighting Game]]?
▲** The first ''Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball'' got quite a few good reviews for being a pretty solid volleyball video game.
* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: A lot of the fan base puts Kasumi and Ryu together over any canon love interest either of them have gotten.
* [[Iron Woobie]]: Ayane. See her entry in said trope, and then add everything revealed in ''Dead or Alive: Dimensions'', including her attempted suicide.
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
** In ''Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate'', Rachel and Momiji's tag team win pose has Rachel saying "very nice" while looking over Momiji, making it seem as if she's checking her out.
* [[No Such Thing as Bad Publicity]]: Since Tecmo-Koei announced ''Dead or Alive Xtreme 3'' will not get an official Western release much to various controversy, Play-Asia announced that they would be selling the localized-to-English non-Japanese Asian version, and ended up promptly gaining several thousand new followers.
▲* [[
* [[Older Than They Think]]: Some internet posters think Jann Lee's yellow tracksuit is a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Kill Bill]],'' but it was actually first worn by Bruce Lee in ''Game of Death'' which ''[[Kill Bill]]'' was referencing. Which makes sense, since Jann Lee ''is'' a Bruce Lee Clone.
* [[Polished Port]]: The [[PlayStation Vita]] port of ''Dead or Alive 5''. It actually got better reviews than the console versions because it was able to run at a steady 60fps while maintaining good visuals within the handheld's limited hardware. This has been compared to other (ported) fighting games like ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''.
* [[So Bad It's Good]]: [[The Movie]], if you don't think it's [[Broken Base|awful]].
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: All of the girls, no thanks to Team Ninja and the ''Dead or Alive Xtreme'' series, [[My Friends and Zoidberg|plus]] [[Ninja Gaiden|Ryu Hayabusa.]]
* [[Stuck in Their Shadow]]: ''Dead or Alive'' has male characters. Common knowledge to fans, but if you told this to a non-fan, it would likely be news to them. In fact, even within the fandom, when someone brings up "who's your favorite male character?", a common joke is to say "...there's male characters?". This naturally is a point of contention to some. Ryu Hayabusa is almost exempt from this given Ninja Gaiden's own popularity.
* [[Theiss Titillation Theory]]: Some of the girls' outfits are skimpy enough that there's no way they could actually fight in them and not have a wardrobe malfunction. But no matter how bad you want it to, it will never happen.
Line 46:
* [[What the Hell, Casting Agency?]]: ''Dead or Alive Xtreme 2'' includes the likes of [[Tales of Symphonia|Raine Sage]], [[Naruto|Sakura Haruno]], [[X-Men Legends|Psylocke]], [[South Park|Liane Cartman]] and [[Teen Titans (animation)|Cyborg]]. ''Dead or Alive: Dimensions'' added [[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi Suzumiya]], [[Glee|Blaine Anderson]], [[Dynasty Warriors|Sun Jian]], [[Saints Row|Matt Miller]] and [[Catherine|Vincent Brooks]].
* [[Win Back the Crowd]]: Thus far, the response of ''Dead or Alive 5'' is very positive and seems to be garnering fans who realize about this being more than a [[Fanservice]] fighting game. Although the later flood of DLC has tarnished the game as a product in the eyes of many.
