System Voice

The System Voice refers to the disembodied voice that calls out during matches in the Dead or Alive series, acting like a referee or a announcer during a real-life sport.

The System Voice is limited to a handful of sayings: "Get Ready, Fight!", which starts the fight; "KO", which is shouted at the end of a round when someone loses; "Winner", if the player wins the fight; and "You Lose", if the player loses. The voice will also say "Congratulations" if the player completes a fighter's exercise mode during Sparring. In the first Dead or Alive, the voice will also say "Ring Out" if a fighter is knocked out of the fighting ring.

Available Voices
DOA4 System Voices EuxS9_Nifrk In the original Dead or Alive, Dead or Alive 2, and Dead or Alive 3, the only system voice avaliable is called "Miyako", voiced by (not to be confused with Kokoro's mother who shares the same name.) This female voice has been edited to sound flat and less human, like a computer is speaking.

In Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate, the defealt voice was changed to "Monica", another cheerful female voice that sounds more human compared to Miyako, but has still been edited to have a slight echo. Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate also introduced "DJ", a shouting male voice with a echo. While Miyako, Monica, and DJ are available from the start of the game, the player can also unlock the system voices of Ayane, Kasumi, Ein, and Gohyakumine Bankotsu-bo by completing the respected fighter's exercise during Sparring.

Dead or Alive 4 features a total of 25 voices: Monica, DJ, and Miyako (renamed "DOA1") are again available from the start, but the player can unlock the voices of every playable character - excluding Ein, whose voice has been replaced by Hayate - by completing the respected fighter's exercise during Sparring. Upon completing every exercise, the voice of Alpha-152 will also be unlocked.
