Dead or Alive 6 1.04 Update | Highlights
There are several big additions that have now been added to Dead or Alive 6 thanks to the 1.04 update. Alongside the additions, various other improvements have been made, including your usual batch of balance adjustments and fixes.
New Content
The main addition Dead or Alive 6 1.04 brings to the table is the costumes of the Pirates of the 7 Seas Costumes Vol.1 DLC. Players will now be able to dress a good selection of their favorite fighters up in pirate outfits. Some of them arrr pretty good, to be sure.
Access to new DLC costumes isn’t all that has been added, however. You’ll be very pleased to hear that Leaderboards have finally been added to Dead or Alive 6. Why they weren’t there in the first place is anyone’s guess.
On top of all of this, too, new entry and victory animations have been added for a selection of characters. You’ll find that there are also 15 new Stage BGM tracks to choose from, too. There’s a lot to like about the Dead or Alive 1.04 update.
Free Training changes
Alongside the new additions, several balance adjustments and gameplay tweaks have been made. Free Training, however, has changed the most. Your Free Training settings won’t be reset after returning from a Throwdown match. This is better than it was before, for sure.
Anyone who has played Dead or Alive 6 or Core Fighters will get 100,000 Player Points, too, as a thank you. If you own all costume parts, too, you will receive Player Points instead when you unlock more.

Still Alive | The Unfamiliar Faces of DOA6
Dead or Alive has had a pretty consistent roster. If you've been playing since the Xbox days, you know Kasumi, Zack, and Bayman pretty well. However, with all the various iterations of DOA5, there are quite a few new faces. Here is everyone you may not recognize from Dead or Alive 6's roster. -
Diego
A street fighter from New York, Diego makes his series debut in Dead or Alive 6. He fights to procure funds for his ill mother. He's the first Hispanic fighter on the roster, wearing graphic t-shirts and sporting a killer mohawk. -
Honoka
A young school girl introduced in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, Honoka is the daughter of series antagonist Raidou. Due to this, she has special energy powers, although she's not great at using them. She also enjoys a cow motif in her clothing, most likely due to... well, use your imagination knowing what Dead or Alive is infamous for. -
La Mariposa
A luchador from Dead or Alive 4, miss Mariposa has been around for quite a bit. However, you might know her better as Lisa, Tina's friend from the volleyball courts. She switches identities every other game, sometimes several times in the same game. -
Mai
SNK's ninja warrior Mai Shiranui is one of the only recurring guest characters in fighting game history. After appearing as DLC in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, she'll return again as DLC in 6. She also fits right into the series for several reasons, and we can only hope that her Virtua Fighter compatriots also join her. -
Marie Rose
Helena's servant Marie Rose first became a playable fighter in the Ultimate Arcade update of DOA5. She's good friends with Honoka, sharing a tag team name. She is a hold specialist, but her small size means her strikes a bit weaker than the other fighters. -
Mila
One of Dead or Alive 5's new fighters, Mila is a mixed martial arts champion from New York City. She's a big fan of Bass and the other DOA wrestlers, wanting to show her stuff against them. As fitting for her professions, her attacks are very ground and pound, overwhelming opponents. -
Nico
Stylized as NiCO, this blue-haired scientist is one of Dead or Alive 6's newcomers. She attacks foes with electrified gloves alongside her other moves. Outside the ring, she's determined and asocial, burying herself in her work for Victor Donovan's MIST corporation. -
Nyotengu
You might remember Tengu as an unlockable Japanese demon in the earlier Dead or Alive games. He's been fully replaced by Nyotengu, a female variant of the character unlockable via DLC. -
Phase 4
Phase 4 is Dead or Alive 6's requisite Kasumi clone. Instead of being made of blue Jello, she's just a mysterious hooded figure. She also plays similar to Kasumi, although with a few interesting moves and a teleportation power thrown in for good measure. -
Rig
Would you believe that a character named Rig works in construction? The sone of series villain Victor Donovan, Rig works on an oil platform and practices taekwondo. Expect lots of kicks and keeping the pressure on your opponent when you play as him.
