Tecmo Koei has posted a brand new video for its upcoming Dead or Alive 5 fighting game, this time showing a match between Lei Fang and Zack, which takes place in a Circus, complete with clowns and tigers.

Dead or Alive 5 promises to deliver fighting entertainment and, from the videos we’ve seen up until now, it’s definitely looking like a fun experience.

The newest trailer, however, takes things to a whole new level, with Lei Fang and Zack fighting in a circus arena where tigers roam the ring.

While their fight has all the marks of the classic Dead or Alive experience, special attacks can be triggered by using different props. As such, at one point, Lei Fang throws Zack into the mouth of a mechanical clown who then shoots him across the stage.

The whole fight is very impressive, especially Lei Fang’s winning celebration animation, which reminds us that it’s still a game made by Team Ninja with detailed physics.

Dead or Alive 5 is out on September 25 for PS3 and Xbox 360.
