System Voices:

Unlock and understand all the System Voices in Dead or Alive 6, from classic announcers to character-specific callouts. Get the most out of your fighting experience!

Hey there! So, you're diving into Dead or Alive 6 and wondering about those voices you hear during matches? Let's break down the 'System Voice' – think of it as your in-game announcer or referee. It's that disembodied voice that calls out key moments in a fight, kind of like in real sports. Most fighting games have something similar, but DOA has its own unique flavor. You'll hear standard calls like " Get Ready, Fight!" to kick things off, and " KO" when a round ends with a knockout. If you win a round, you'll hear " Winner" instead of the more common "You Win." And of course, if you're on the losing end, it's " You Lose." Want to feel extra good about a win? If you manage to defeat an opponent without taking any damage yourself, the voice will cheer " Great." Pull off a perfect run through all rounds without a scratch, and you'll get the even more impressive " Greatest"! What happens when the clock runs out? If neither fighter is KO'd, you'll hear " Time Up." If both go down at the same time, it's a " Double KO." And if it's just a draw, well, it's a " Draw." There are a few other specific calls you might encounter: * Game Over: This pops up on the continue screen if you don't press start in time in games like _Dead or Alive 2_, _Dead or Alive 3_, and _Dead or Alive 4_. * Congratulations: Since _Dead or Alive 3_, you'll hear this if you complete all commands for a fighter in Sparring Mode's exercise. * Ring Out: In the very first _Dead or Alive_, this is called if a fighter is knocked out of the ring. * Challenger Appears: In _Dead or Alive 2_ and _Dead or Alive 3_ (outside of Sparring Mode), if someone other than the active player presses start, you'll hear this. _Dead or Alive Dimensions_ also uses this phrase, especially with Japanese voice settings during Street Pass encounters. If you're using English voices in _Dimensions_, it'll be " A New Challenger Appears." System Voices Across the Series While Dead or Alive 6 focuses on its core announcer, older games had a wider variety of unlockable system voices. For instance: * Miyako: The default voice in _Dead or Alive_, _Dead or Alive 2_, and _Dead or Alive 3_. It's a bit flat and robotic, voiced by Miyako Endō. * Monica: Introduced in _Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate_, this is a more cheerful female voice with a slight echo. * DJ: Also in _Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate_, this is a shouting male voice with an echo. * Character Voices: Many games, like _Dead or Alive 4_ and _Dead or Alive Dimensions_, let you unlock the system voices of the playable characters themselves by completing certain challenges. Think Kasumi, Ayane, Ein, and many others! * DOA5: The default voice in _Dead or Alive 5_ is a booming masculine one. So, while DOA6 keeps it streamlined with its main announcer, knowing these other voices from the series adds a cool layer to the game's history!
