Flow

Unreleased

Jungle Rapids is a fighting arena that first appeared in the third gameplay trailer for Dead or Alive 5. As the trailer showed the game in its pre-alpha state, its possible that the stage will be changed before the final version of the game is released, or be cut from the game entirely.

Description
At its core, this stage is a basic four-sided ring. Fights take place on shabby-looking platform made out of broken wood planks, with waist-high barriers around the sides. The platform is inside a cave with tropical plantlife, and a rapid-fast river flowing under and around said platform.

If the Danger Zone trigger is hit (located on one of the barriers) the platform would come loose and start flowing downriver, towards the cave's mouth which quickly leads into a waterfall. Luckily for the fighter, the platform is too big to pass through the cave mouth and becomes stuck before it can fall over the edge, half-in and half-out. Outside, there is a bright blue sky and one can see that the waterfall is in a big arch, and you can see the other side from a distance. It's possible that this stage is based on the real-life Niagara Falls, especially the Horseshoe Falls.
