= Changes to DoA4 =

This is a list of changes from the Xbox Live update of DoA4 on March 9th, 2006. This update features a bunch of tweaks to moves, and the addition of a couple of new moves. The update also includes the network performance and stability improvements from the late February update.

Most of the actual legwork on documenting these updates was done (specifically comparing and documenting the changes between the old and new movelists) was done by HDTran.

Changes made to Leon, Nicole, and Tengu are currently unknown.
