Reception
PlayStation Magazine gave it a score of 8/10, stating, "lots of polish and gameplay. Still secondary to Tekken 3, though."
In 2011, Complex ranked it as the seventh best fighting game of all time.
Dead or Alive also received some added notoriety for having the breasts of its female characters animate independently of their bodies, bouncing up and down wildly as the women jumped and moved. While seemingly a silly, disposable novelty at the time, this actually became - and still remains - a trademark of the series, though it has been more realistically implemented as technology has allowed.
