Known as “The Uncrowned Street Hero,” Diego makes his DOA debut boasting the raw and brutal skills of a street fighter, utilizing everything from headbutts to tackles in taking down opponents. This gritty fighter grew up in the back alleys of New York, earning money to support his ailing mother by competing in many street matches. Long rumored to be the strongest fighter in his neighborhood, he is seen by many locals as a hero as he utilizes his experience brawling in confined quarters to impact fights with a set of strong-style moves.
Diego and Rig join the list of fighters already announced such as franchise favorites Helena Douglas, Hayate, Ryu Hayabusa, Zack, Kasumi, and Jann Lee. Fans that have a chance to attend EVO will be able to test the latest build of the game while also having a chance to win some exclusive swag ranging from DEAD OR ALIVE 6 shirts, tote bags, and even lanyards.
