41. DEAD OR ALIVE 5 SEMIFINALS

Learn the exact combo to beat Eliot in the Dead or Alive 5 Last Round semifinals! Get the 7-hit combo down with Hitomi and advance.

Alright, we're at the semifinals in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, and it's time to face Eliot with Hitomi. This part is pretty similar to the previous bonus mission, but the requirement is a bit tougher: you need to land a 7-hit combo. Don't sweat it, though, we've got a solid combo that'll get you there.

The combo we'll be using is: 6P+K , 66PPP , 4KPPPP

Here's how it breaks down step-by-step:

1. Start with 6P+K: As Hitomi, press forward and P+K (that's L1 by default on PlayStation controllers). This will make Hitomi strike with her fists, pushing Eliot back.
2. Transition to 66PPP: Immediately after the first hit, double-tap forward and press three punches (PPP). This part launches Eliot into the air.
3. Finish with 4KPPPP: Now, here's the crucial part. Before Eliot can even think about landing, quickly press back, tap kick (K) *once*, and then mash the punch button (PPPP) as fast as you can. If you nail this, you'll actually land a 10-hit combo and send Eliot flying, easily clearing the 7-hit requirement.

Watch out for this common mistake: It's super easy to accidentally hit the kick button twice during that last part (4KPPPP). Make absolutely sure you only tap kick once before you start mashing punches. This is where most people stumble, so focus up here!
