Yo! My name's Sop and I'm a huge fan of the DOA series, not just
for the breast physics ^.^ but for the cutting edge graphics and
very fluent fighting styles emulated in the game.
This guide, which is dedicated to my favourite DOA character - Kasumi,
will list a variety of basic and advanced combo commands that I, Sop,
has spent quite some time formulating and testing to see that each
combo actually worked when executed and timed correctly. Do you have
any idea how hard it was to come up with these combos?! No, of course
you don't! That's why I wrote this FAQ so that all other 'wanna-be'
Kasumi masters will not have to endure the all headaches and
frustrations that I had to go through!
Since I'm pretty much obsessed with Kasumi, I have formulated and
mastered every single combo this girl can do! She is the only
character I have trained with and got 10 hits 'off the bat' without
having to slam my opponent against a wall to do it! However, due to
lack of time, I have only listed a few of the combos that I've
formulated.
This is the 1st version of this FAQ after all, so it's only logical
that I give you gamers a little taste of what I have in store for you!
As updates progress, you'll see more and more combo commands listed
until there isn't anything more left to write! ^.^

3.0 - KASUMI'S STORY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kasumi is a kunoichi (female ninja) who was ordained leader of the
"Mugen Tenshin" style. Instead of accepting this position, she became
a "runaway shinobi" so that she might avenge her brother, Hayate, who
was partially paralyzed by DOATEC.
Day after day she is forced to defend herself from attempts on her life
by highly skilled assassins. Then, one day, Kasumi learns that Hayate
is to be at the DOA tournament. Though, she finally meets her long-lost
brother in this last tournament, it is impossible for a runaway shinobi
ever to return home in peace. (That's why she's at my place instead!
Mwahahaha! ;P)

4.0 - ABOUT KASUMI'S FIGHTING STANCE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kasumi fights using the Mugen Tenshin style, but the way she moves
those streamline hips of hers can send any hot-blooded male insane!
She's the type of girl who'll kick your ass and then ask you if you're
alright!
She has a wide array of Kick Attacks, hence the reason why she doesn't
wear a long skirt! It's only logical that she doesn't want her clothes
affecting the execution of her attacks...I tell you if she had to fight
with no clothes on at all (which would not be a bad idea!) she wouldn't
even care, as long as she kicks the living daylights out of you! But we
all know that Kasumi is a modest girl, come on! If she only catches you
staring, she'll give it to you good and proper! (Okay! That didn't come
out right, now, did it?!
