Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax

Looks like Sayaka Maizono with that color

No, its Ayase Aragaki, Kirino best friend (yeah looks like Kirino with dark/blue hair)

maybe mikado but the hair isn't the right color

god christ this roster is terrible

when are the baccano characters
 
OH. MY. GOD!

I'm honestly surprised that they added a character from Golden Time. I recently got into that anime and I was also surprised to find out that Golden Time was published by the same company that did Durarara, Oreimo and Spice & Wolf, which I still need to watch. Too bad Koko is just a Support character. They didn't show any footage of her Support attacks yet?
 
god christ this roster is terrible
so is misaka going to be the clone character too?

every fighting game needs one of those after all
 
i just want ladd russo
or claire
ladd or claire are the best possible choices
maybe Isaac/Miria team if they wanna go wacky
 
So many Supports.
Glad to see a new playable though

And good fucking lord Ruin, give them time.
It takes time to make, animate, and give personality and life to a character.
Especially since this appears to still be relatively early in development.

Though when's Accelerator?

probably a support.

every character you'd think as "They'd probably play awesome" seems to end up as a support.
 
Kino from Kino's Journey made it in? Dissappinted that only a support (cmon she -
actually knows how to fight if you watched/read the work), but at least she made it in.

Yeah just a tiny reference is overwhelmingly awesome

It's not though.

Release Date: March 2014

That's actually rather late in development to only have 7 playables, one of which was like just revealed.

I'm still hoping for a Horizon character and that Holo being a Support is because Lawrence is playable. Otherwise that snub makes an amazingly small amount of sense when we could have had Valkenholo.

Isn't that Arcade though?
It's bound to have more characters added as time goes on

Gram motherfucking Specter. But really any character from Baccano! could put in work in a fighting game. ('cept maybe Czeslaw...probably not Czes)
 
So I hear the Akira from VF is in this as the boss. So one guard break into body check of doom and all the lolies are dead! And you thought Marie was bad...
 
Maybe I'm preaching to the chior on this forum, but I'm getting tired of responses to every new piece of news for this game boiling down to "this Japanese game using crossover characters from Japanese franchises that's clearly targeted at a Japanese audience, doesn't conform to my Western tastes, so it's bad."

I'm just trying to figure out why the hell a Golden Time character is in a fighting game.

Playable Lawrence? I see him more as the guy who'd run the in-game unlockables shop. ECONOMICS!

Though just mentioning Valkenholo makes me sad she isn't playable. Or would she be closer to MvC3 Amaterasu?

I still think one of the Misaka Sisters will be playable because clones. Their character arc must be popular since it got animated TWICE.
 
It's hard to get too invested into the roster until it comes to console. It'll likely have more characters then. Baccano seems like an obvious choice but how popular is it in Japan?

In any case, I want Selvaria, from Valkyria Chronicles, to be in this game at some point somehow.
 
I hope they add some SEGA characters. I would be very hyped if they would add Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza, Joe Musashi from Shinobi and Bayonetta. Doesn't SEGA own the IP of Bayonetta?
 
I think once we get the prospect of the Console version we'll get far more characters.
Maybe even double dip with the representation.
I would not be surprised at all if there was a second Toaru or DRRR character.

This game actually looks pretty fun so far, but I dunno who I want to play, probably will just use Kuroyukihime out of the current roster.
 
Pretty hype for Kino being a striker

I feel that Platinum probably owns Bayonetta since she appeared as a secret character in Wonderful 101 and is appearing in a sequel on the Wii U.

Platinum own Bayonetta, Sega its just the publisher.

Most publishers own the IP's of games that they publish, not the developers.
There are exceptions, of course, but I would say a good ~90% of the time the publishing deal takes the IP.

I know, but Bayo is not that case.
 
I'm pretty sure that Bayo 2 is only happening because of Sega's blessing. Not sure how Bayo could show up in W101. Could tweet Kamiya about it.
 
i was watching some vids and i think the game should really get one artist to do all the character portraits

everyone in different art styles looks very mugen-ish.
