* [[Fan Service Pack]]: Irene Lew {{spoiler|(confirmed to be Sonia from ''[[Ninja Gaiden|Ninja Gaiden 2]]'' for the [[Xbox 360|360]])}} in ''Dead or Alive: Dimensions'' sure has changed compared to her rather plain original design; now she's a Miss Universe like every other woman Team Ninja has ever modeled in 3D.
* [[Foot Focus]]: Hitomi in her Karate Gi in ''Dead or Alive 3'' and ''Dead or Alive Ultimate''.
* [[Free-Floor Fighting]]: Quite a few arenas have sections where you can knock your opponent into another area, like off balconies, down stairwells or through walls.
* [[Free-Floor Fighting]]
* [[Friendly Playful Dolphin]]: Helena swims with a dolphin in her ending cinematic from the third game.

* [[Panty Fighter]]
* [[Perpetually-Shiny Bodies]]:
** Will be averted in ''Dead or Alive 5'' where the fighters sweat and get dirty.
