Dead or Alive: Dimensions Control Mechanism
Posted On: March 24, 2023

In the recently released title for the Nintendo 3DS, some of the video previews seem to suggest that the characters are controlled by "selecting" combinations on the touch screen, rather than in the traditional manner for beat'em'ups.


Is this the case? Does DOA:Dimensions not have "normal" controls?


Question from user TZHX at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

Now that it's out, this can be answered definitively.


In DoAD, you can perform combos the old-fashioned way, or by tapping it on the bottom screen. If you're playing with buttons, the bottom screen highlights your combo sequence(s) as you enter the commands. Overall I find the user interface much nicer than Street Fighter's.


Unlike Street Fighter IV, there is no segregation between touchscreen / button control in online play. If someone is entering commands with the touchscreen an icon pops up on their side of the screen, so you know if they're doing it, but you can't forbid it like you can in SFIV. Realistically this probably doesn't matter, but some portions of the Internet are up in arms about it.
