Sure as hell won't be on Xbox.

Very likely PS3 or depending when home console release date PS4.

Also I'm gonna enjoy whacking people with a street sign.

If it has online I suggest we have some Skullheart Matches.
Dibs on Izaya if he's in
 
I can see Izaya turn out to be a keepaway zoner character with his throwing knives if he ends up being in the game.

smh if this game adds Shizuo as a playable fighter but not Izaya too
 
Or at the very least an Assist. One of the most enjoyable parts of Durarara was the animosity between those two, it was great.
Is the series still running? I've only really caught the anime.

Sega Wishlist, in descending order of what I want:
if there's any Sega series that needs more attention, i'd say its Shinobi

playable Joe, Hotsuma or Hibana would make me very interested.

I bet you can't wait to do these things as well.

I love when Shizuo dies he screams "IZAYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Touma's Imagine Breaker assist needs to be toned down. The hitbox on it is insane. I love his Philip J. Fry palette.
 
I'm not so sure about this game, the only character on the list I like is Shana...and I REALLY dislike Asuna (well, more like I dislike SAO as a whole.) ...not sure if want.

EDIT: Scratch that, I also loved Shizuo.

They'll get sega characters too, though. That will be cool.
Admittedly right now there's not a lot to love for me, but I'm hoping the sega characters will turn it around.

Sega has a lot of really interesting character to use...watch them ignore them all for sonic though...I wanna play Nei from Phantasy Star II, but I don't see her getting in.

I kind of think they'll eschew sonic because he would look awkward in this game, like in project X-zone.
 
I like the concept of the game, but obviously some stuff needs to be toned down so luckily that is what Loc tests are for.

Like how Shana has her trademark "Shut, Shut up!, Shut up!!" line and Shizuo plays exactly how I imagined he would and his "Izaya!!!" death cry was hilarious.
 

Same trailer except it adds Shizuo & Kuroyukihime to it.
 
Three new support characters announced.​

Holo (Spice & Wolf)

No new playable characters? Bah. All those sprites are nice too

2/3 would've made awesome playables too. Wolf Mode Holo for Valkenhayn.

Same. I was really looking forward to Holo being playable with a Lawrence assist super.
 
I'm somewhat expecting a Horizon character at some point, still, but Spice and Wolf was seriously the one I was banking on the most. Part-Timer was a runner-up since that was recent.

Wonder what else they'll end up pulling as a playable LN now?
 
Nyarko?
But has the animation quality improved at all since that preview? I saw Shizuo's Dash animation had like 2 frames in it and I almost cried. Not to knock the game or anything, but stuff like that is a REAL turn-off for a game to me. The animations just look a little...not very fluid. Which I can look past if the mechanics are solid.
 
Taiga from Toradora so we can have Rie Kugimiya battle herself.
 
Didn't expect that, but then again Sega is involved.

A 2D version of a VF character sounds interesting.

Has that ever been done before?
 
i kinda wish SEGA would remember Shinobi more often.

Boss Joe Musashi be awesome. The PS2 characters are also acceptable.

Project X Zone did it to Akira, Pai, and Dural but as far as fighting games go, no.

The genesis version of VF2 was in 2D IIRC.

I'm trying to forget that existed.
 
Well if we can get Akira, I hope maybe for like Selvaria or Alicia.
