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.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
