Final Words - Author's Note * Take note that if you cannot find what you are looking for or if my guide has not been worked deeper into the game, chances are I am much further ahead in the game than this guide. I don't update EVERYDAY, so if you can't find it here, e-mails are always welcome. ============ 1. UPDATES ============ Version .81: Nothing terribly new to report. Just added the neat thing at the bottom. That's it. Seriously. I don't have anything else to add in the guide really. So I hope this will be my final update, but I'll keep it open in case there was anything else to add. So see you in other FAQs! Bye! (5/3/01) Version 0.7: Again not a big update. But an update is an update. Added the extremely short "Kasumi's Ending" to the guide. Until the next update, this is AdrenalieSL signing out! (3/21/01) Version .65: Not a big update, but I just want to go through the versions anyway! ^_^ (3/17/01) Version 0.5: Added a couple more combos. Changed some stuff. (2/21/01) Version .45: Started with the combos. Corrected many errors. Added general info. to the Character's profile. Small update, all in all. (2/17/01) Version 0.4: Corrected some grammar and spelling errors. As well as some in-game errors. Finished CPU Opponents section. Whew! Just a few more things to complete. (2/14/01) Version 0.2: Just started working on the FAQ. Can't expect too much done. Finished Move List and other minorities. Not everything's done, but it's a start. (2/13/01) ====================== 2. CHARACTER PROFILE ====================== Home: Japan Nationality: Japanese (duh!) Occupation: Ninja/Assassin DOB: February 23rd 19?? Age: 20, logically. Ayane was 16 when Kasumi was 17. But now Ayane is 19, so Kasumi must be 20! Holy mother of doodies! I'm a rocket scientist! Or she could just be 17, who knows. It's confusing! (although it says N/A in PS2 Version) Height: 5'2" Weight: 106 lbs. Fighting Style: Mugen-tenshin Ninjutsu/Tenjimon Family: Brother, Hayate (aka Ein); Father, Shiden; Half-sister, Ayane Measurements: Bust 35", Waist 21", Hips 33" Hobby: Fortune Telling Favorite Food: Strawberry Mille-Feuilles Friends: Tina Armstrong, Lei Fang Background: Kasumi is a true bred "Shinobi" (female ninja) of the Mugen-Tenshin style. Kasumi's brother, Hayate, was next in line to succeed as the 18th master of the Mugen-Tenshin Acacdemy. This was until one ominous day, when an assassin left him marred and crippled in forest in Germany. Her father Shiden was left bitter and refuses to mention the details surrounding the attack. Kasumi's vindictive behavior will boost her determination to succeed as 18th master of the school and get revenge for her brother. In an attempt to settle her brother Hayate's vendettas, she became a runaway shinobi. Shortly after her participation in the first Dead or Alive World Combat Tournament, Kasumi was captured by the Super-human Development project. While held captive, they were able to create, from splicing Kasumi's DNA with some other unknowns, Kasumi ALPHA. ==================== 3. CHARACTER MOVES ==================== Reading the guide is quite simple (like that's needed to be said). I have classified each and every one of Kasumi's attacks according to the category given. For example, "Deadly Attacks" would have Kasumi's...deadly moves and in "Basic Attacks," it would list her basic skills. Lost you yet? And instead of your daily press of low kicks, high punch, and tap Up-left to perform (insert move here), I'll just simply tell you the PS2 controller buttons as it makes life easier for both of us. I'll assume that you already know the basic moves like jumping and what have you. NOTE: Some moves require an action like, Up-left, Down-right, Up- left, and so on. You must press both buttons simultaneously to execute the attack correctly. All moves will appear in no particular order. ___________________________ | | | CLEAN 'N' QUICK LEGEND: | | | | Tri=Triangle Cir= Circle | | Squ=Square Cro= Cross | | + = Simultaneous | |___________________________| »«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» » BASIC ATTACKS « »«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» -------------------------------------------------------------------- MOVE COMMAND DAMAGE -------------------------------------------------------------------- High Punch Tri 10 High Kick Cir 27 Low Kick Down, Cir 10 Low Punch Down, Tri 5 Middle Punch Down-right, Tri 20 Middle Kick Down-right, Cir 24 »«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» » JUMPING ATTACKS « »«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» -------------------------------------------------------------------- MOVE COMMAND DAMAGE -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jumping Forward Punch Jump Toward Opponent + Tri 15 Jumping Forward Kick Jump Toward Opponent + Cir 30 Forward Landing Punch After landing from jump + Tri 22 Forward Landing Kick After landing from jump + Cir 25 Vertical Jumping Punch Jump straight up + Tri 15 Vertical Jump Kick Jump straight up + Cir 30 Vertical Landing Punch After landing from jump + Tri 22 Vertical Landing Kick After landing from jump + Cir 25 Backward Landing Punch After landing from jump + Tri 22 Backward Landing Kick After landing from jump + Cir 25 Tenryu Up-Right, Cir 30 »«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» » SPECIAL ATTACKS « »«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» -------------------------------------------------------------------- MOVE COMMAND DAMAGE -------------------------------------------------------------------- Hiryu Up, Cir 25 Futen Up, Tri 12 Hiten Left, Tri 11 Getsurin Up-left, Cir 45 Tenyu Up-right, Cir 30 Rengou Tri, Tri, Cir, Cir, Cir 94 Osen Tri, Tri, Tri, Tri 47 Renji Tri, Tri, Cir, Down, Cir 69 Renjin Tri, Tri, Cir, Down-right, Cir 71 Gessai Tri, Tri, Up-left, Cir 55 Tenshu Tri, Tri, Right, Tri, Right, Cir 68 Genraku Tri, Tri, Right, Tri, Down, Cir 62 Engetsu Tri, Tri, Right, Cir, Cir 74 Getsuro Tri, Tri, Right, Cir, Down, Cir 68 Goyaku Cir, Cir, Cir 74 Jinyaku Cir, Down-Right, Cir 51 Jikyaku Cir, Down, Cir 49 Muei Right, Right, Tri, Down, Cir 45 Geshu Right, Cir, Cir 54 Roshu Right, Cir, Down, Cir 48 Roga Right, Right, Cir 30 Sen Tri + Cir 26 Sitten Squ + Cir, (pause) Cir 64 Sitsuro Squ + Cir, (pause) Down, Cir 60 Fukasen Down, Squ + Cir 25 Senka Down-Right, Squ + Cir 24 Mugen Down-Right, Down-Right, Tri 22 Nagi Left, Squ + Cir 30 Busen Down-Right, Down-Right, Cir 26 Hakuro Left, Cir, Cir 62 Tenbu Up-Right, Tri, Cir 40 T.

CPU OPPONENTS ================== Fighting some opponents can be difficult, but that's what I'm here for! AYANE Of horrors of all horrors, Kasumi's the only reason why Ayane even entered this tournament--to kill Kasumi! With that hint slapped down, this can be a very tough battle. Ayane's speed and counter ability outstrips Kasumi's by a tad amount. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage, you give the call. Ayane will rely on her Genmu attack, back-facing attacks, many eye-popping combos and throws. Her combos are not a problem if you have well-timed counter holds. To escape her throws, avoid close combat with her, same applies for her back-facing attacks. As for her Genmu attack, try not to leave big space between the two of them, but if it happens try blocking. BASS His prodigious strength and size can be a major disadvantage to you, but Kasumi's speed can make up for the latter. Bass just loves his bone-snapping attacks and seems to use them a lot, so avoid close-combat with him. When he starts to block continuously, immediately use the Uragake move (back flip), to stay out of his range. In this battle, think "guerilla warfare," which consists of hit-and-run attacks. And depend heavily on Kasumi's Tenryu and Genraku attacks. BAYMAN Ok, I still haven't personally played him, but I have been told that he fights just like Leon, but a little more aggressive. Thanks to Michaelg291 EIN Unfortunately for you, he is a pain in the butt. Even though he is your brother, he won't be too lenient. Ein's Azuma and Fujin attacks are things to look out for. They can knock you down and away from him all the while doing major damage. Try not to let loose your combos until the right moment because he can retaliate quite well with a devastating 3- or 4-hit combo. If you can tether him to a wall and keep him there, then you can count on winning this battle. GEN FU It is not wise to underestimate him, he is still as deadly as Bass. Gen Fu may not have the speed, but he sure as hell has the brains and power to knock you out cold. Although, personally, this is not a tough battle. Just let him have it with your routine attacks such as S. Rishu, counter holds, and Tenryu in that order. HELENA She is one tough mama! Her attacks can be somewhat blinding and nearly impossible to predict. Helena is excellent when it comes to counter holds. She can read your attacks some how. Try to avoid close-combat with her and use such moves that can reach her at relatively far distance. Surprise her with powerful moves such as Rishu. And move when she does to avoid getting caught off guard. JANN LEE Damn you, Jann!! Jann Lee is VERY difficult if you fight careless- ly. First of all, his bloody war cries can really annoy the hell out of you. He enjoys using his Dragon Blow, Dragon Kick, Dragon Elbow and any other Dragon attacks. I advise that you not fight him up-close and personal, but at the same time, avoid staying a distance away from him. The only thing you can hope for is an opening and then, unleash your all. Tether him to a wall and keep him there. KASUMI ALPHA Fighting against yourself may provide interesting insights into Kasumi's weaknesses. Kasumi A doesn't fight nearly as well as the real Kasumi does (I think it has something to do with her brain =P). As you may have guessed, Kasumi A has all the same moves, style, weight, height, and whatever else there is to compare her to. Now place yourself in your own shoes, and think about which attacks Kasumi A will be less likely able to block and retaliate. Or simply mash your buttons until she dies. LEI FANG She doesn't have any particular advantage over Kasumi-chan. Although, she loves to rely on counter holds. Lei Fang is slow to attack and you may be able to detect her next move if you are vigilant enough. Don't rely on Kasumi's multi-hit combos, or you'd be countered left and right. Instead deliver a few blows here and there, then go on the defensive side. And repeat. LEON Leon tends to abandon traditional punches and kicks, and instead, relies on knocking you into the air and damaging you with massive combos. This will be a real problem for you since, when in the air, it'll be impossible for Kasumi to apply her trusty counter holds against Leon. Try to keep on the ground, and surprise Leon with unpredictable attack angles. RYU HAYABUSA His desire to protect you is a horse load of crap. What he really meant to say was, "Let me kill you first, before anyone, other than I, can." Hayabusa is very proficient with countering repetitive attacks and attacking too often can be a real pain. Kasumi, however, still has that quickness you can look forward to. So a good thing to remember is to mix up your attack range. TENGU Kasumi is a slight disadvantage against Tengu. Tengu is unbelieveably good at countering, so you cannot lay a finger on him. Tengu's whirlwind attack can kill you in short order. So have Kasumi rely heavily on her Tenbu or Tenryu attacks. Tengu's whirlwind attack can be painful, but takes a while to execute, so take this opportunity to hurtle toward the dark lord and deliver a combo of powerful punches and kicks. Make sure he uses that attack as little as possible by staying a good 2 feet away from him. TINA ARMSTRONG Being the daughter of Bass, one can quickly notice her bulky contour (well, she is a wrestler afterall!). Tina loves to lift you off the ground and perform her famous signature moves that can be a real back-breaker. She likes to mix up her attacks and counters well when you least expect it. Mirror her every move and attack furiously when possible. ZACK He is really quick with delivering powerful kicking combos. Zack tends to knock you in the air first and then attack you with hard- to-counter-attacks. Try to avoid close-combat. You are probably better off with Kasumi's customary Tenryu and multi-combo attacks. =================== 5. KASUMI GOODIES =================== You must get the costumes subsequently. By this, I mean that you cannot get costume 2 before costume 1. Get that clear? _______________________________________ / CONDITION 1 -- CONDITION 2 / --------------------------------------------------------------- Costume 1 Complete Story Mode Play as Kasumi 5 (any settings) times w/ UPS on --------------------------------------------------------------- Costume 2 Complete Story Mode Complete Story (any settings other than Mode 3 times default) --------------------------------------------------------------- Costume 3 Complete Story Mode Complete Story Without continuing Mode 5 Times --------------------------------------------------------------- Costume 4 Earn 2 million points Play as Kasumi In Survival Mode more than 50 times --------------------------------------------------------------- Costume 5 Complete 50 stages in Play as Kasumi Survival Mode more than 100 times --------------------------------------------------------------- Costume 6 Get the cherry item Play as Kasumi In Survival Mode more than 200 times --------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TAG-TEAM RATING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How compatible is Kasumi with each of the following? Let's take a look-see shall we? (I'm a natural ^_^) Scale 1- Avoid using at all times 5- Ehh...OK to use sometimes 10- Make it your official attack duo! AYANE- Both are very quick and can unleash countless attacks at once. But if they were to spar, Ayane would have the advantage here. Due to their superior speed and countering ability, they would be an unstoppable two-some. (9) BASS- Having a slow and bulky brute like Bass combined with an agile sweetheart like Kasumi, isn't what you call a good match. It's almost like flying an airplane without any piloting abilities. But...if you must experiment...I can't stop you from doing so. (3) EIN- Ahh, there's nothing like a brother and sister fighting side by side. With Kasumi's amazing speed and Ein's powerful blows, you'll have your opponent eating dirt all day. (10) GEN FU- Not a good team at all. Gen Fu is slow while Kasumi is undoubtedly speedy. What do you get when you come across a combination of a snail and a hare? I don't know. You figure it out! (4) HELENA- This is a fairly credible team, not the best, but it should suffice against particular teams. Helena is exceptionally strong, while Kasumi is fast! So having strength and speed is a good thing. (7) JANN LEE- Surprisingly, Jann and Kasumi make an exceptionally good tag team. Since Jann is quick and strong, this gives you a major advantage against such teams as, let's say...Leon and Zack? You should be able to pummel them to oblivion with this pair. (8) LEI FANG- It's not good, nor is it bad. It's kinda inbetween. Lei Fang is SLOW (not as slow as Gen-Fu), so that's a visible flaw in the team. But since Lei Fang is unbelievably good at countering, like Kasumi, they make a good defensive team. (7) LEON- Don't even want to think of the possibilities of what might go wrong with this pair. All I have to say is that it won't wotk out. Period. (4) HAYABUSA- Probably one of the best teg-teams. Haybusa's and Ein's fighting styles are identical. Hayabusa has a good variety of powerful attacks and his speed is slightly better than Ein's. Therefore, Kasumi and Hayabusa would make a perfect 10! (10) TINA ARMSTRONG- Ever wonder what it's like to have a wrestler at your side? Here's a good example, really. This couple isn't bad at all. The team may not be very well balanced, but Tina is a good all around fighter. I mean Tina could do all the neck-breaking moves while Kasumi can just stun everyone with her beauty ^_~ (7) ZACK- Zack is like Leon. Kasumi's tag team specials won't work well with him. So it's a no-no. (3) I believe Bayman and Tengu are not accessible during Tag Team Mode. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ BEST COMBOS ~~~~~~~~~~~~ To start super combos, you must first, stun your opponent to prevent further counters while preparing for your combo. To execute a combo correctly and effectively, you must have well coordinated fingers (hands), and well-timed attacks. You can practice these combos in Sparring Mode if you wish to master them because they can come in handy when playing with friends, the computer, etc. I have been experimenting with the below combos for the longest time, and have been able to perform them from time to time. It's hard! So if there are any mistakes, please correct me. NOTE: These combos MAY not be all of Kasumi's comobs. I have tried all I can to find them. There may be more, but it's probably hard to properly execute! Please if you have anything you'd like to add, let me know and I'll give you tons of credit! Thanks!

And this is his acutal e-mail, but I corrected grammar and spelling mistakes to make it less incoherent. Sorry Michael! Thanks to Michaelg291 OK! This is going to sound kind of funny!? Key: p,=punch, k,=kick, u,=up, $,=together press, okay p,p,!! after the 2nd punch it will say 2hit then press p,p, the screen will still say 2hits funny huh? but the hit still link together so thats really 4hits not 2hits if it does say 4hits STOP because they will counter you so i will show u what it looks like p, p, p, p, p, p, p, p, $u,k, p ,p ,p p thats it the damage is 105 but in training mode it will say 20 then 85=105 so thats a 13hit combo but the screen will say 11hits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VICTORY CALLS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victory calls are expressions the character often displays after a victorious battle. It's pretty interesting to see what each character has to say. Here are Kasumi's "victory calls," as I like to call it. One line will be written in phoenetic spelling of Japanese and the other will simply be English. "Gomenasai. Daijobu?" "Sorry. Are you alright?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KASUMI'S ENDING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Ok, before you read any further, this is a spoiler. Well, this is a fighting game afterall, who cares about the story right? Yeah, well, I've received an e-mail about it, so I might as well add it into the guide. No harm in doing that. This just goes to chow how demanding you people are. ENDING... Now that Kasumi has kicked the living daylights out of Tengu, Kasumi can finally put her past behind her and move on. She can stop running away and return home...home...where she belongs. Ok, that wasn't so bad now was it? It's short, but that's really what the ending was all about. No hard feelings. ===================== 6. REVIEW FOR DOA2 ===================== Here's a short opinionate review on DOA2: Hardcore. Just thought I'd share some of my feelings about this game with the world. =) Call me bias, but I love DOA2, or any other DOA game for that matter. Why? It's the characters and the various game play selections. So many to choose from. I don't know why but if I had to choose either Street Fighter (anything), Tekken Tag and DoA, I would lean more towards DoA. I just love it! It's the best fighting game ever!!! Here's a rundown on the game: Game Play (9/10) It's great in every aspect! The only reason why I knocked off a point was that some moves really hurt your fingers and maybe, hurt your wrist (^_^) It's not much of a reason, but hey it's my review! There are so many modes of play to choose from. You have your character's story line, time battles, sparring, the all-mighty tag-team battles, team battles and many more! The fun is endless! Storyline (9/10?) Can't really mention anything about it, now can I? I mean it's a fighting game. BUT surprisingly enough, each character has their own story and it is quite entertaining. Short sequences, but indulging nonetheless. Sound (10/10) Perfect! The voice acting is great, especially in Japanese. It sounds rather forced in English. But other than that, c'est super! The punching, kicking, head-bashing and back-breaking sound effects are excellent. Need I say more? Replay Value (8/10) With all of its good qualities, even a great game like this one can get very boring after a while (a long while at that). But the Tag team battle mode can keep you busy for weeks and weeks to come. Plus, it's well-worth it to watch all the cool in-game CGs. Overall View DOA2 is definitely a must-have game for fighting game fans. I just don't know what there isn't to like about this game. Sure, it can be frustrating at times, but what's a game without some madness? This is just my own perspective of the game. If you find the need to oppose my little review, oh, go write your own review and such. ============================= 7. CREDITS/ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ============================= Stephanie Lee - For taking the time to research all over the net and make this FAQ possible! Big thank you for saving up enough lunch money to buy this game! =) Prima's Official Guide - For providing me with a lengthy move list and other various things to add to the guide (I did not transfer everything from the book to this FAQ, if you suspect.). I used their "damage" list, most of the move lists, costumes and some additional information. Tecmo - For producing the best fighting game the gaming world has ever seen (as opposed to Tekken). It is just lovely. ATadeo - For consuming some of his valuable time to help me with my FAQs. If it weren't for his generousity, I wouldn't be able to share my knowledge with you fine people! ;) CJayC - For maintaining the most entertaining website on the net and hosting my FAQs. Lumina-M - I took some costume info. from his Secrets FAQ. It's a very good FAQ and very informative. Michaelg291 - For sharing how to beat Bayman. He is also responsible for one of the combos for Kasumi. Thanks pal! ======================== 8. CONTACT INFORMATION ======================== If you have any further questions concerning the game, or as to why stealing is bad contact me via e-mail. I will accept any type of mail including criticism, add-ons, corrections, tips, suggestions, weird comments, etc. I will NOT accept threats of any kind and never, never send any perverted comments you perverts! And as always, you will be credited for your delightful opinions and such. Please subject your mail so I know what the deal is. If not, it will be DELETED. Ex:(no subject) or HELP!! = -Delete- Also please use proper English with correct grammar and such. It annoys me when people tYpE lIkE dIs. That's a no-no. If your English is just horrible and I can't understand a thing you said, then it'll have to be deleted sorry. If you have AIM, feel free to drop me a line if I happen to be online. I also have ICQ, but I never use it. Like ok... Before e-mailing me, I have 3 simple requests: 1. If you can't find what you're looking for and you're about to pull out your hair, e-mail me and ask something that's not in the guide! If its not here, then I don't know! GameFAQs Board: Adrenaline E-mail address(s): narnia_M3@hotmail.com AIM: reddmaggot ICQ: 70967247 A friendly word to webmasters... I've already received some e-mails from webmasters imploring (ok, not exactly) for permission to use my FAQs on their site. I will allow this, so long you ask me (politely) and give the URL of your website. Your website must be "real." By this, I mean you get over 50 hits per day and you own a .com, .net, .org or whatever domain. Keep the URL simple, so it'd be easier to remember. If I'm happy with it, then you are granted the permission to use my FAQ, but don't assume, I will notify you through e-mail as you have done to ask me. Anything from this FAQ and the FAQ itself MUST be fully credited to me! If not, otherwise, I will be forced to take legal action. This guide may not be stolen under penalty of...uh... death, or something. The FAQ must remain updated! I also ask that if I ever e-mail you requesting that you remove my FAQ, you will comply. The only site that has the privilege of not having to ask me is GameFAQs.com. Have a nice day! Current FAQ holders: - GameFAQs.com - neoseeker.com - psxcodez.com If you have found this file on a site that you suspect that may have used this FAQ without the author's consent, please notify the author immediately!!

First of all let me say, since I'm a girl and writing a FAQ/Move List for Kasumi, this does NOT make me a lesbian! I'm just one of those gamers who just happens to be a girl. I love the Dead or Alive series and similar fighting games! And Kasumi happens to be my favorite character and the next being, Ryu Hayabusa. I know this stuff is "supposedly" for guys, but does it say somewhere on the box that it is specifically for men and men only? If so, point it out, so I can go lynch myself. I'd really appreciate it if you would keep your head out of the gutter if I say something that can set you off. I do not want to hear you saying, "ewwww..." or something relevant to that if I say something like, "...I like Kasumi..." (which I do, but not in an intimate way!!) I just want to mention this, in case it ever pops up. Have any questions? E-mail me. Need help? E-mail me. Suggestions? E- mail me. Just feel free to speak your mind (excluding perverted comments and insults)! If you wish to send me anything to add-on to the FAQ, please do. It must be related to this guide or it will not be posted otherwise. Only relevant information will catch my attention. I do not want your life story, or how your dog died. Only FAQ related questions!! And remember, any RUDE comments will get your name on my hitlist. I will take your e-mail address and sign you up for an infinite number of annoying junk mail! In addition to you being such a jerk, I will add you to the "Butt-munching, idiotic, perverted, who-can't-get- none but harrasses-little-girls losers" list if I ever make one. Aside from that, I would love to hear from you! ============================================================================= MUCHO GRACIAS!!! ============================================================================= /^ ^^ /// / // ^ ^ /O%G%/t( ///// O(@@ 6@e /RG(t////~t%K^/ //^/ DeFtones @#(((^ ^//~6K%^^^^ R@G%/~ //(CK@ @@B6((~/ ^^^~/~t%@ @@R6((~((/%/~(/CO@ / @@GC%GtC~/~((tte@@^ /@QGCCtCCt%tCCQQR@@/^^/ RBC%tCCGGC/GCeR@@@///// (#O((%%CGG#KKR@BB@et/~// et(/tt(K@@#K#eGGOQet//// C~/(((OB#OGC%6eGGKGGC(/// ^^ % /(OKeC%tCC6C6666OG%~// / / ^(t/~%G6(tC%(%tC%%C6%%/////// ^ ^%/(%KCC(((%((/(/(~// //^//~// C/%R@(t(/^ ^^ / / /// ^/^(t#@(((/^ !~AdrenALiNe~! ^%%@@(~/~/^ ^ ^//^// / /(//////// ^ / / R~%G^C~Gt~/^ ^ // ////// / ^^^///////G/ ~/ ///^ /// ^//^/// / / /^ / ^//// /// _Adrenaline_ Deftones 1995 ------------------------------------- The Kasumi Character Guide Copyright © 2001 Stephanie Lee February 2001
