Team Ninja's patch 1.03 for Dead or Alive 5 is the very definition of a massive update.
Indeed it allows players the ability to upload fights to YouTube and Facebook (Only PlayStation 3 players get both, 360 gamers have to deal with just Facebook) so fighters can advertise their various successes, branding the loser in such a way that only social networking can allow, but it also adds changes to every fighter within the game's entire roster.
You can see all of the changes below, what platform gets what, how it's unlocked, and so on and so forth. Fari warning, there's a LOT to process, so don't say I didn't warn you:
XBOX 360 VERSION ONLY
