Ayane: Hidden FMV sequence: --------------------------- Dead Or Alive 2 Ultimate Disc: This can only be done in Ayane's story mode. When you get to the fight with Kasumi and the snow level (it will always be the snow level when you fight Kasumi), knock/get knocked down into the lower level, the ice cave, and continue fighting there. Win the round with a final blow that will send Kasumi a considerable distance from you (about fifteen feet away from Ayane, QCF + Kick works well). Instead of the usual intermission sequence, Ayane will perform a magic technique and shoot some sort of fireball at the unsuspecting Kasumi. Increase Bouncing: ------------------ Go to the settings and set your age to 99. This will increase how "bouncy" the girls are. Bayman: ------- Play for 10 hours to unlock Bayman.

Alternate Level Select: ----------------------- Press X on the following stages to play a variation of that level: The Aerial Gardens The White Storm The Great Opera Vertical pain: -------------- You can change the way attacks, throws, and counters are performed by being near a wall. Which all characters can do as in the moves that are throws. The attack and counter moves do not change for all characters when near a wall. This involves the oppents back to be facing the wall or your charcters back to be facing the wall and you have to fairly close to wall with some of them and lined up to the wall in a fairly straight line. Refer to command list for each character at the pause menu to see how to perform each move. EX: kasumi's nagi (throw move)that results in her jumping up on top of the oppents head and gives several downward kicks to them in the head as go to the ground. When preformed with her back to a wall it becomes adachi-shizuka. Which results in her grabing the oppents arm slaming the front of their body into wall the and finishes it with a kick to the middle of their back. With attack moves I only really saw difference in the moves. That involve the character to do jump flip backwards when their back is to a wall and then at the right momment in the jump pressing one of the attack buttons. For the throw moves I only saw a difference when your characters back is to the wall and are countering a mid punch. Easy fifty: ----------- To get a easy fifty wins in survival mode. First thing you do is go the settings menu and set survival mode on the easy setting. Then go select survival mode and choose tag mode instead of single. Switch characters when the heatlh level is at half to switch press the black button. The most effective way switch is to down the opponent then press the black button. The one that is tagged out will slowly being to regain health and you will still the get the health boost that you get when you defeat an opponent.
