Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore ^{(PlayStation 2)}

Increase Your Jubbling

From the main menu select Options. Then, choose Game Settings then select Other. From there you can increase the "age" of your characters.

Survival Cheat

Have you been having trouble beating the Survival Mode. Fret no more! Try this, Select Survival mode from the Main menu. Once the Level has loaded and the fight has started press the eject on your PS2. The tray will slide out, but the fight will continue. Once you have "KOed" your opponent you can continue to beat him/her mercilessly. The PS2 cannot load the next opponent because you have ejected the disc. Do your ariel attack (UP + PUNCH + KICK). Every time you do this attack you will be rewarded with a bonus item. Continue to do this as long as you like. If you notice the picture below I was able to score over 1 million points with only one win. Once you have had enough of that particulay "opponent" you can simply push the disc tray back in to the PS2 and after about 10 seconds the music will start again the next opponent will appear. You can repeat this trick as many times as you need to. Survival mode should be no problem now.

Survival Mode Technique

Notice the PS2's tray is open with the disc still in it. Once you are done with that character you can push the tray back in to continue the survival mode.
