Lisa (Dead or Alive)

Lisa is a female character in the Dead or Alive video game series. She makes her first series appearance in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball.

History

Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball

When Lisa first appeared in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, she was under employment by veteran Zack, who apparently used his prize money to buy an island for a volleyball contest.

Dead or Alive 4

In DOA 4, Lisa is revealed to be the woman behind the mask of the mysterious luchadora La Mariposa. Apparently, she is also responsible for Hayate's memory difficulties, though she is ultimately more interested in wrestling Tina than in the affairs of DOATEC. Some references are made that Helena and Lisa have worked together before. Lisa also seems to know the details of Project ALPHA-152 and admits to having tricked the Ninja of the Mugen Tenshin Clan into attacking the DOATEC Tritower.

Personality

Drawing an analysis from DOAX, it would seem Lisa is, at the very least, a very nice woman. She appears to be able to connect with most of the women on the island, as well as being able to draw up conversation with Ayane (which is a miraculous feat in itself); also Lisa seems to be a bit of a workaholic, evidenced by the fact she is almost always seen doing some form of work.

Gameplay

Lisa can be considered an mixture between Tina Armstrong and Zack due to her powerful throws and quickly executed kicks. Her kicks are very effective, being especially adept at low- and mid-position tracking, and her counters nearly match those of Bayman in power percentage. Additionally, Lisa is unpredictable, making her difficult to counter and defend against. However, this unpredictability also makes Lisa a very diffficult character to learn and master, and thus is very unsuited for beginning players.

Trivia

Lisa's lucha libre moves are based on pro wrestler Dragon Kid
