Phase 4

Unreleased

Phase-4 (フェーズ4, PHASE 4) is a new character who will make her playable debut in Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Arcade. She is a clone of Kasumi created by MIST.

History
Phase-4 is a prototype of the first Kasumi Alpha.

In the prologue of the story mode at the ruined battlefield, Phase-4 attacks Bayman and his soldiers in a speed of light. However, she hesitated to kill them, leaving Bayman to survive with a scar as she leaves him with a sadden face.

Appearance
Physically she looks exactly like Kasumi but is draped in a black cloak. She always keeps her face hidden by her hood. Whenever using her powers she is surrounded by black and greenish blue energy.

Personality
Despite almost killing people, including Bayman, unlike the other Kasumi clone, Phase-4 has a mind and feelings of her own as a human being, which is why she hesitates to kill people and wants to live as a normal person.

Etymology
Her name is a reference to being the final stage of Kasumi Alpha Clone distribution. As a clone of Kasumi she's in an indeterminate state just like the original, not knowing if she'll ever be free, or will exist forever as Donovan's ultimate weapon.

Gameplay
Phase-4's gameplay is almost identical to Kasumi's. Based on her sample combo video, her fighting style is a combination of Ayane, Hayate, and Ryu's. Phase-4's playstyle is sightly different and mostly uses a stealth based attack.

Trivia
