Lisa is a laboratory
researcher skilled in Mexican Wrestling (Lucha Libre) and also enjoys surfing.
Lisa's original origin is DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball, but her fighting
game debut was in Dead or Alive 4 as "La Mariposa" (AKA The Butterfly).
After being
disappointed by some of the newer DOA designs to debut in the series,
Lisa originally struck me as one of the "next-gen" character designs
the series needed. Her smooth animations really stand out, and her unique brand of Lucha
Libre shows off a lot of personality. Her fighting style & moveset is also
one of the deepest and most dynamic styles of the DOA series.
It's nice to see a DOA character design that doesn't bank on selling you BOOBS
at first glance. Yeah, Lisa has her fair share of revealing outfits... but at
least her design has a clear theme surrounding it. Her default outfit is decent, along with most of her alternate outfits. If
she's lacking anything, it would be overall personality and
"coolness". In my opinion, she's not the most exciting Lucha Libre /
Wrestling fighting game character out there. I definitely think El
Blaze and Armor King are more fun
to use... but that's just me.
