Good to finally have a confirmed release date, the CD is a nice bonus to when I finally pick up my Pre-order.
I know. I'm kind of surprised they didn't do a reverse cover.
Trying to see if I can get confirmation from Sega about the OST being the same one as Japan.

I love preorder OSTs. Good thing I locked my copy for cheap, thanks to the based E3 Canadian deals. I wonder if the Vita and PS3 versions are cross-play.

Normally I'd guess it would be the same soundtrack minus the main theme that is usually cut, BUT they used that song in the announcement trailer so it might be the same.

Got the Vita version on pre-order from Amazon.ca with the E3 30% pre-order discount.
I'm glad I ordered the Vita version instead. I already own an imported PS3 copy, but I didn't know the two versions had different box art. I'll take Biribiri and Shizuo over Shana and Kirito any day
PS: Go buy the Durarara LN, it got localized in NA last week.

Wasnt there supposed to be some sort of Sega Hard Girls cameo?
Great that we got a date, but is it cross play?

This game has some fun tools including the following:
...
for the record I don't know hardly any cast in this game. I just research every fighter out there in hopes of finding noteworthy systems and things to study in the genre. My thoughts on Dengeki is that its VERY good and pretty fast with tons of potential for cancels, comebacks, and crazy combos with its stuff. Its also very beginner friendly while having enough tools to become VERY advanced in tourney play.
- universal overhead that autoguards on startup and can be followed up with a launcher
- universal magic series combos as well as a universal mashable 5 hit light attack combo making folks able to hit confirm and convert into things easier without as much execution
- a universal crouching and/or neutral attack that can be cancelled into various tools in the game to give everyone at least one standing and crouching cancel
- jump cancels across the roster on various normals and a special limited buff state where everything becomes jump cancellable
- A KOF XIII-esque thing called Trump card that converts an icon into a meter and allows you to chain any and all normals together in any order, call support cast at no cost and with no startup animations to slow them down, jump cancel anything, and it can be extended in duration with another tool
- extend actions that are character and button specific that change the properties of some attacks making reads trickier
- -Universal Potential-
A brief power-up that is activated when certain conditions are met. When the
character’s life is under 30%, their attack power is increased by 10% and
health is slowly regenerated. If the opponent is on match point, the player’s
attack power is raised to 20%. The duration lasts about 20 seconds. - A blast icon that charges faster the lower your health is and that can be spent like an Alpha counter, a self buff into a launcher or a self buff into a wallbounce. Basically how you spend it changes its recharge rate and also some of the ways you spend it net you faster meter gain and free stock. Its also usable like an Xfactor cancel.

I'm all over that vita version.
Sword art online, the devil is a part timer, oreimo, accel world, a certain magical index, the irregular at magic high, black bullet, shakugan no Shana (only the first two novels before license was dropped), durarara!!, toradora and strike the blood have been licensed and the books are being translated and released.
Unfortunately some of them have not been licensed yet but fan translations are floating around the internet for the most of the rest.

It's a bit sad when the supporting list looks more interesting than the main roster.

All of the gameplay I have seen for this looks slow and bad. Proof otherwise?

Team Spooky has a ton of vids with Sabin playing. Looks fast enough to me. And also bad how? Looks like Arc Sys style stuff to me and thats anything but bad.
I was gonna link to the same vid, lol. I really want this, but I don't want to play it on my Vita. I'll wait for a PS4 release, I suppose.

You can already buy
Devil is a part timer v1
Sword Art Online v 1-4 + SAO Progressive v 1-2
DRRR! (V1 came out last week)
Accel World v 1 - 4
Index v 1 - 4
Spice and Wolf
Irregular At Magic High School v1 comes out this fall
Black Bullet v1 in fall
Strike The Blood v1 in fall
In the game there is one volume, if I am not mistaken, for each novel. If it's all licensed, I doubt they will retain this for the US release.
Also, about Durarara, how many volumes have been released in english ?
I searched Amazon for it and found about 6 volumes, I guess. They divided into arcs instead of numbers, so i made me confused about how many have been translated.

Stiff animations.
Unimaginative movesets.
Weak character design.
Speed looks ok, now that I have seen better play. Selvaria would be my only interest in this game. Any high level play of her?
shaowebb

Movesets and character designs are largely based on their source material if not entirely based on it at times. Plus considering there are characters who fight you using Sega UFO machines and such I can't say they are being too unimaginative here dude. Just got to stay true to source material pretty heavily. Besides...its not like Ryu is anything more than a bandanna and Karate Gi.
Got no clue where you get Stiff animations from though. Count some frames. Normals and such are very fast from what I'm seeing here. There is no real room for longer animation frames so use the intro pose, slash, outro pose method to convey impact or nothing. The specials, meaties, and supers look pretty good and they use more frames so I'm really at a loss here on this animation stuff.
Baiken does this same exact animation stuff. What's probably making it stiff is since the character designs lack much in terms of follow through objects that you can't really play off those snappy moves as much as folks like Baiken could with her long sleeves that'd continue moving after attacks and such. Not a lot of hair flipping, or swooshes of fabric to sell animations that need to come out and recover quick. Cancelling those frames is easy and looks fine, but having tween heavy animations on the actual attack motions that cancel into the next hit of a combo early looks clunky so it is what it is. Same method as Baiken but many lack the visual accessories to sell it. Probably why slashes, hit sparks and so much is so large in this game...to provide follow through to attacks.
No clue on Selvaria. I'm digging youtube. I'm really intrigued by all the tools in this. Assists, Xfactor like tools, air dashes, and bursts has me very intrigued.

There is only 1 DRRR Light novel volume released in english, came last week. The rest of those listings are the manga volumes.
I thought the game sample of the novels is just the first chapter, not the first volume.
There are trophies for those on the english trophy list, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were translated.

The animations are basic and minimal. Stick figures in most instances.
Okay, the source characters are generic and uninteresting. Doesn't help.
Block animations are especially bad. Just stuck in one stiff pose while sparks fly around.

I'm really trying hard to justify this purchase just for Selvaria.
The game has bad animation -- I'd say actually worse than most of French Bread's old fan productions, check out Railgun's two frame jump -- and boring character designs, but it's actually really fun. It's easy to pick up and play for people who know much at all about fighting games, and even for newbies there's not a ton of complicated execution requirements. Character balance isn't that bad, there's some amusing assist shenanigans, and you probably won't end up on a watch list for purchasing it.
And hey, the US console release of last year's version is only coming out about two months after the new Japanese arcade version! TAKE THAT ARC SYSTEM WORK-- oh

*eyeroll*
I swear its every anime game with folks these days...
Game looks fine Karst. You're just seeing things in too negative a light. In Marvel Morrigan is suddenly covered in batwings to block and doesnt move while sparks fly everywhere, Phoenix wright is holding his hands in front of him with sparks flying around and not moving,and so on and so forth. In SF Ryu and the rest all assume their pose to block and sparks fly. Its a block they all do this ...only high animation character I can think of for blocking off the top of my head is Slayer from guilty gear with him waving his hand back and forth.
I don't even know what your getting at with stick figure analogies...do you mean key frame poses are too fast still? I covered that there aren't a lot of frames to work with because those are some fast normals out there. Most of the animation and followthrough is on the sparks for the reasons I stated earlier.

Seeing the boxarts makes me glad I preordered the Vita version.

Every anime game?
I own Xrd and BlazBlue, and I have a downloaded version of UNIEL and P4AU thanks to someone's generosity here. UNIEL has the same problem, though - the characters are just so awful looking outside of a few like Merkava, Hilda, and the dude that attacks with blood.
Plenty of characters have small ongoing animations while blocking to give them extra life. Even just breathing.
I wanted to be pumped for this because it has Selvaria - I'm not biased against it, and I've never been part of the "fuck anime" crew in FGW.

Karst pls. UNIEL's character design is hella stylish. I'd take it over Blazblue's trope festival any day of the week.

Sorry...I just get these kind of complaints lumped in with a lot of other stuff these days that make no sense to me. I will admit...the butterfly wing girl has some stiff jumps. Longer animations shouldn't be low on frames like that. A lot of this stuff still looks fine to me though.
