History

Dead or Alive to Dead or Alive 4

Jann Lee has never seen his parents' faces; they died, orphaning him at a very young age and leaving him to fend for himself. Soon after, he absorbed himself in the study of Jeet Kune Do. At first, he fought to replace the feelings of loss, but eventually he fought simply for the sake of fighting. One day, he heard the announcement of the DOA tournament, and wondered if he would find what he was looking for there. Jeet Kune Do (Chinese: Cantonese: Jitkyùndou Pinyin: Jiéquándào, lit. ...

He is met there by Lei Fang, a girl he had saved some six years prior from a gang's attack. In the time since she had become an accomplished martial artist, vowing to prove herself not helpless by defeating Jann Lee in the DOA World Combat Championship, something that - as of the ending of the third game - she has yet to do. Lei Fang , derived from Chinese: 麗鳳 Pinyin: Lìfèng) is a fictional video game character from the video game series Dead or Alive. ... Dead or Alive 3 is a fighting game in the Dead or Alive series. ...

Not satisfied, Jann Lee enters later DOA tournaments to prove his fighting skills and looking to test himself against worthy opponents.

Personality

Due to his skill, Jann Lee is a very confident fighter. He is so self-confident, in fact, that one could call him arrogant. Jann Lee believes his martial arts skill is the best there is, and as of yet he's not been proven wrong. In addition, Jann Lee likes to train constantly, and when he's not sparring, he's working out. For him, physical conditioning is almost an obsession.

During his CG ending in Dead or Alive 4, it is shown that Jann Lee did not have a very happy childhood. As a helpless child frequently suffering bullying from local gangsters, his only escape from the harsh reality of his existence was watching Bruce Lee movies, which gave him strength and inspiration. This might explain Jann Lee's obsession with Jeet Kune Do. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Gameplay

Jann Lee is one of the fastest striking characters in DOA, with quick, intricate, chain combos as well as sudden, hard hitting jab moves, Because of this, He can be considered a "strike" character, in that he relies on quick, combos and picks to wear down the enemy, as well as several of his counters which concentrate on opening the enemy up for counterattack (eg. Trace Gunner). Jann Lee's preferred distance is long-range, as his attacks have very good reach (eg. Sekkan Chop), and his most powerful attacks have a pause duration at close range, allowing the opponent to easily punish him in his recovery timeframe (Dragon Kick, Dragon Spike). However, his weakness is his lack of a strong mix-up game, meaning most of his attacks can be countered in high to middle, and he lacks sufficient low attacks in his repertoire. He is also a very preferred character for all-level players.
