Game: Dead or Alive 4
Culprit: Alpha 152
Rage Rating: 8/10
Alpha 152, the scourge of DOA 4 arcade mode will make you pull your hair out with it’s high damage combos, it’s ability to endlessly counter all of your attacks and teleporting away from every punch or kick you attempt, Alpha 152 is a pain to beat if you’re an average player like myself.
A clone of runaway shinobi Kasumi, Alpha 152 is a lab grown killing machine, resembling a green Kasumi and made out of a gel like substance, the final fight of the DOA 4 story mode can be ruthless and sometimes outright unfair, often leaving you pulling your hair out in frustration and then, ultimately, bald, and unless you’re Jason Statham, you probably don’t want that.
There are some guides however that say if you continuously spam the punch button you can give yourself an easy victory. Having tried this on multiple occasions I found that this doesn’t always work and you’re still left with a frustrating beat down but it does work on some occasions so persevere and you might just spam your way to a well deserved cheap victory.
Whilst Alpha 152 can be an irritating and unnecessarily hard boss fight, it can be cheesed with some determination and spamming of the punch button or a running attack is often the best way to beat this green flubber looking annoyance.
