Ayane: Mermaid suit
Wait until you get the Mermaid suit from Zack.
Ayane: Get as a partner
Ayane can be a difficult to get as a partner because
she is stubborn. Buy anything purple (flowers, glasses, swimsuits,
etc.). Ayane also loves butterflies (as you can see in the Dead
Or Alive 3 introduction sequence). Do not buy origami, as
Ayane will throw them away. If you play as her or Kausmi and you
receive them from someone and select "View", she will
say "This brings back bad memories". Also, if you are
Kasumi, Ayane will not team up with you (and vice versa). Kasumi
and Ayane may be half sisters, but they do not like each other.
It would be a waste of money if you are playing as either one
and try to get the other as your partner. Another way to get Ayane
as a partner is to keep visiting her after you send her gifts,
and after you have defeated her in a volleyball match. It should
take a few days, but Ayane will become your partner.
Helena: Get as partner
If you are having trouble getting Helena as a partner
try these steps. Always buy her white (clothes, shoes, glasses,
flowers, etc.). You can also buy her anything that has to do with
the ocean, as she loves dolphins (get her dolphin clocks, the
silver dolphin, dolphin Sea World tickets, sea shells ,etc.).
If Helena is still refusing to be your partner, play against her
once then send another gift over to her and she should say "Yes".
Hitomi: Cheerleading suit
Buy it in the store with Hitomi. There are different
versions of it.
Hitomi: Cat ears
There are two ways to get cat ears with Hitomi. You
can either buy them at the accessory shop or wait for Zack to
send them to you. You will have to play with Hitomi for at least
two vacations before they appear in the shop or Zack gives them.
Kasumi: Army hat and gear
To get an army hat and two canteens with Kasumi, go
to the sport shop. It probably will not be there until after the
first day. Look for the Salvia swimsuit. It costs 330,000 credits.
When you purchase the bikini, you will not see the hat and canteens
until you put it on Kasumi. The only way to get the army hat and
canteens is with Kasumi, and they will never be in the accessory
shop. Zack will never send you the Salvia swimsuit, as well as
any other character, since Kasumi is the only character that can
get it. You can send the Salvia to the other girls, but most of
them will throw it away.
Leifang: Wearing almost nothing
In order to see the most of Leifang's skin wait until
after the fourth day for the Oreial swimsuit. It barely covers
her skin, but costs a lot of money.
Leifang: Phoenix
If you wait long enough, Zack will give you the Phoenix.
Leifang: Get as partner
Lei Fang is easy to get as a partner because she is
nice to everybody. If you are having trouble getting her as a
partner, buy her cute items (stuffed bears, cushions, yellow butterflies,
sunflowers, etc.). Buy her anything yellow (fans, flowers, hats,
sunglasses, etc.). If you want to buy a swimsuit for her, the
best kind are ones that have the color yellow or those that have
flowers or animals (in Hitomi's, there is one that has a yellow
sun flower on the front).
Lisa: Leopard ears
Allow Zack to get you the leopard suit.
Tina: Black Cat suit
Wait for Zack to give you the Black Cat suit. It has
cat ears.
Keeping on good terms with your partner
Give your partner their favorite gift in color, type,
hobby, or their nationality (one or two gifts). When you wake
up in the morning, check the music notes around their head. If
only one music note floats up, you are not doing well with your
partner. If it is two music notes, then their enthusiasm is pretty
good. Three music notes indicates that both of you are getting
along very well.
Getting a partner easily
Note: This trick may not work on Christie, Tina, or
Ayane. Instead of buying gifts for the partner you want, defeat
them in a volleyball match. The better you try, the better they
will like you. If possible, try make the person you want make
mistakes a lot of times so that you have a better chance of getting
her. You may need to defeat some girls twice in order for her
to like you.
Knowing when someone is ready to
Moving your partner
If you do not like the position in which your partner
is standing during a match, you can move them by using the "Right
Analog-stick".
Soundtrack change
You can change the music playing at anytime by pressing
[Black] (advance to next track) or [White] (repeat current
track).
