Tina Armstrong is a character from the Dead or Alive video game series.

History

Dead or Alive

Tina is a wrestling star from the United States, who dreams of even greater fame. She wants to join the Dead or Alive tournament to become discovered as a supermodel, but her father Bass forbids it. To ensure that she does not achieve her goal, he also joins Dead or Alive to put an end to her fame-seeking.

Dead or Alive 2

After competing in the first tournament, Tina is apparently defeated by her father, Bass, and enters the second tournament to achieve her dream of becoming a model. During the transition between the two tournaments, Tina dyes her hair color from brown to blond.

Dead or Alive 3

Achieving her goal of becoming a model, Tina enters the third tournament, this time in the hopes of becoming an actress.

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball

Tina was invited to Zack Island for the fourth Dead or Alive Tournament. However, the tournament is revealed to be a hoax and Tina, together with the other female participants, are stuck on the tropical island for two weeks.

The Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball introductory movie shows Tina as a pop star, suggesting that she is also an aspiring singer.

Dead or Alive 4

After having won another wrestling championship, Tina decides to compete in the fourth Dead or Alive tournament. When she wins, she plans to become a rock star.

Personality

Tina is very confident of her abilities, almost to the point of arrogance. She also conveys the stereotype of the "American Dream" in that she is frequently entering a new profession to the point of being un-realistic. Tina has great confidence in her sex appeal, which explains her extroverted, and sometimes impudent, personality. Overall, Tina exhibits a pure, immense lust for stardom in most of her actions.

Gameplay

Tina's fighting style consists of wrestling moves, including arm and leg jams and powerful throws. The slowest of the DOA female characters, her physical strength actually makes her quite a balanced character. Tina is essentially a faster version of her father, Bass Armstrong. Her throws, while devastating, are less powerful than her father's, but her execution time is quicker. Additionally, Tina's command list is unpredictable. Her mixture of mid kicks and high punches, along with the correct timing of a throw execution is excellent in keeping an opponent off guard.

Trivia

Tina won G4's Video Game Vixens of the year award for 2005.
Tina's hair color changes throughout the games. In DOA1, she is brunette. In DOA2 and DOA3, her hair is blond. In Tina's DOA4 ending, her hair is ginger.
Tina's best friend is named Josie and her trainer is named Mike.
