Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax coming to PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in Japan this fall

So, they want to compete with P4A2 and GGXrd? I'm excited for this release, but I kinda feel the game will be overlooked.

 

[Jutsei]

Now let's see if it gets Localized!
(It probably won't)

 

[Ruin]

it almost definitely won't

 

[Zazz]

it almost definitely won't

too many competing companies with the various regional licenses probably

or maybe it'd just be Viz, Aniplex & Funimation, right?

 

[Ruin]

which is enough to put the kibosh on it

 

[Zazz]

makes you wonder how Tatsunoko vs Capcom ever came out in the US.

 

[Jutsei]

Aquapazza came out, but that might be a special case.

 

[Ruin]

Tatsunoko was legitimately amazing since Capcom jumped through a bunch of hoops and even removed content from the game so that it could be released in the west

this was back when they were more legit but alas

 

[TheMightyBox]

Project X Zone could only get a western release after the dev team was forced to license all the IP's involved a second time.
If this game's getting a western release (unless a western release has been planned since its conception (while knowing that it won't have as big a western audience)) you guys aren't gonna be seeing it for a while.

 

[Number 13]

So probably not much more time for character reveals if there are any more. Roughly 12 playable characters with around 2x assist characters is ok for a recent first entry fighter. I don't think this game was intended to be presented as a Dengeki Bunko vs Sega fighter just from looking at the roster, but more about the cameo presence like Sega inspired stages and surprise guests Akira/Pai. Worst case scenario this will be an easy import title since there is little chance for localization outside of rare cases such as Aquapazza. Pleased about a Vita edition too since that handheld is just excellent for playing fighters.

I read the news about the PS3/Vita release on Crunchyroll and one line caught my attention:

The home edition is planned for PlayStation 3 and Vita this fall, with cast editions and other enchancements being planned.

What are they implying? More DLC characters? Packs of DLC characters from specific series?

Spoiler

Sega has released the first screenshots of the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita versions of Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, due out in Japan this fall.

The Ecole and French-Bread-made fighting game is developed in celebration of Dengeki Bunko’s 20th anniversary, and features fighters such as Sword Art Online‘s Asuna and Kirito, and Oreimo‘s Kirino. The console version will add new elements not in the arcade version.

I think that's the first time I've seen the Celty Sprite.
Damn that's fantastic

 

[Ruin]

will one of those new elements be Ladd

 

[Jutsei]

Or Accelerator?

 

[Ruin]

or Claire???

 

[TheMightyBox]

Wait, Celty's in this game?

 

[Ruin]

she's just an assist, unfortunately

 

[Jutsei]

Shizuo got top billing because lord knows all the bitches love Shizuo.
Actually that's pretty much true.
Dude steals the spotlight in every second of the show.

 

[Ruin]

Celty is the main character, though....
plus if that were the case why isn't Iza-no fuck no I'm not jinxing it

 

[Jutsei]

We're probably getting Izaya at some point.
Not an assist.

I'm using that logic for Accelerator too, not an assist, so possible.

 

[TechPowah]

It IS a little weird that all of each novel/show's first reps are secondary/deuteragonists instead of main characters and all of the main characters are either revealed afterwards or only as an assist, if at all.

 

[shoryusatsu999]

That guy's appearance would mark the destruction of the game down to the code due to Shizuo's infamous rages.

 

[Jutsei]

In Misaka's case, at least, she got a spin-off of her own later, so she's kinda sorta a protagonist.

 

[TechPowah]

Izaya would only be acceptable if he had a super based off of his phone-stomping prowess, substituting phone for face.

 

[Jutsei]

So basically you want Izaya to have a Terumi/Hazama curbstomp super.
Marry me.

First look of Strike the Blood characters gameplay

Of course the "No senpai, this is our fight" line made it in lol

Yukina and Rentaro Trailer

 

[Cybermanworf]

The new characters look really good in the trailers, though there was dialogue overlapping itself near the end of Yukina half of the trailer.

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax will launch for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in Japan on November 13, Sega announced.

The console versions will have a large number of original modes not featured in the arcade version, including a new “Dream Duel” mode where players can enjoy conversation events between characters, an online battle “Network” mode, etc. By using points earned playing the game, you’ll be able to unlock special content and color customizations, as well.​

 

[Number 13]

Akira and Pai confirmed playable/assist for PS3/Vita release.

Now we're starting to become Dengeki vs Sega.​

 

[Number 13]

Both PS3 and Vita box art cover revealed recently.

 

[Zeriam]

I really don't like the cover art.

It's just the character art pasted on it. I know most games do this, but the artist could've done a special cover art for the game.

 

[Number 13]

Three more assist characters announced: Izaya (Durarara!!), Accelerator (A Certain Magical Index), and Dokuro Chan (Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan)

Spoiler

 

[Jutsei]

Aw man, Accelerator isn't playable?
Lamearino.
And ew, Dokuro.
Least she's not playable.
