In the level "The Crimson" if you knock someone through the glass window on the upper level, you will go to another area. In this area is a picture of Christie from "Dead or Alive 3" on the wall, as well as a Prototype Xbox connected to a T.V. If you hit someone into the Xbox and T.V., the Xbox will light up and the Xbox logo will be displayed on the screen.

On Zack's C3 and C7 costumes, if you taunt during a match, they will light up for the round. If you taunt again, it will turn off.

On Costume 3, use the Tenseiha appeal to make him take off his hat. If you win the battle, he will put his hat back on and say something different.

In all modes (except Story Mode and Sparring Mode), if you play a perfect round (in other words, don't lose any health), you'll get a victory pose that you can only see if you play a perfect round. Some characters will even have a second "Perfect Round" victory pose if you can get two perfect rounds.

During the ending celebration after each battle, you can move the camera. By pressing either the left or right trigger, you can turn the screen, up to, 90 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise. By using the right analog stick up or down, you can move the screen over or under the character.
