You thought he was dead... but he was just coolin' off. Raidou, the big bad of the original Dead or Alive tournament, has made like Frieza and come back from the dead with some cyborg upgrades for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round.

In his earlier appearances, the evil-minded S.O.B. Raidou was famous for using a mish-mash moveset comprised of other characters' attacks. While he may still make like a floppy and copy that data, with his computerized upgrades, Raidou looks ready to dispense some cyborg injustice, giving him a unique fighting style all of his own.

Though the Dead or Alive series initially became noteworthy for the skimpy costumes and rather elaborate jiggle physics on its female characters, somewhere along the way it transitioned into a well-received fighting game series... with lots and lots of skimpy costumes and jiggle physics. Perhaps if we could see Raidou's cyborg buns in a Borat-style speedo, his cheeks shaking in mechanical rage as he rains terror down on his opponents, things might feel a little more balanced.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round arrives Feb. 17, 2015 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
