Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate - Hitomi, Tengu and Bayman showcases

I thought I'd post these together instead of one at a time...

Time Attack Runthrough/Showcase with Hitomi

UNLOCK: Have a saved game of either Dead or Alive 3 or Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball on the Xbox hard drive, then successfully complete Story Mode with Ein.

Hitomi can be considered the successor to Ein, in terms of fighting technique and statistics. However, Hitomi is slightly faster, compared to Ein's strikes being somewhat more powerful than hers. She has the strongest punch techniques amongst all the females characters in game. However, like Ein some of her Wind up attacks can be easilly countered.

One thing about Time Attack - I changed the settings so it's just one win to beat the stage to make things go by quicker. To unlock Costumes for Hitomi Bayman or Tengu, you must be playing with Default settings (which is why I haven't unlocked Costumes for them) Default Settings are TWO wins to beat a stage.

Time Attack Runthrough/Showcase with Bayman

UNLOCK: either by accumulating a total of ten hours of gameplay, OR by completing Story Mode with Leon under the normal or hard game settings.

Interesting fact: while not in the Original Dreamcast mversion of the game, He got somewhat of a bit Part in the PS2 remake, (he found out Leon was entering teh tournament, so entered to fight him) but has been demoted to Hidden character status in the Xbox remake

Although they share the same fighting Style, Bayman prefers to use a high damage ratio "strike" strategy. By utilizing such single hitting attacks, such as the "Javelin Kick", he can effectively push back opponents AND do some serious damage. Like most power/grapple based characters he has slow wind ups for his more powerful attacks and can be easilly countered. Until DoA3, he was the only character to be able to use Ground holds.

Time Attack Runthrough/Showcase with Tengu Gohyakumine Bankotsu-bo

USELESS TRIVIA: apparently his name means Tengu of Destruction
UNLOCK: Beat Story Mode with everyone at least once.

Tengu is your Typical Final Boss powerhouse. His combos tend to either send opponants away from him or introducing them to the floor.

PROTIP: his whirlwind attack... while unavoidable or unblockable unless your still on the floor, CAN be countered. (I believe it's a Middle Punch counter... not sure At the moment.)
