Sega Shares First Footage of Upcoming Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX Assist Characters

Earlier this month, three brand new assist characters were announced for Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX, the interesting crossover title that features a cast made up of figures from a variety of the publisher’s popular light novel series. This latest round of backup fighters includes A Certain Magical Index’s Accelerator, the eponymous heroine of Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan, and Izaya Orihara from Durarara!!.

While concrete gameplay information on these assistants has yet to be released, we can glean a few details from the above footage.

First off, Accelerator appears to act as a counter, throwing out fellow A Certain Magical Index character Last Order before launching the opponent in retaliation. Dokuro-chan, on the other hand, tosses her bludgeoning weapon to create huge outburst of energy in front of her. Finally, Izaya kicks the enemy combatant to the ground with a low attack, stomps on them, and then knocks them back up into the air for follow-up attacks.

Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX is scheduled to release for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita in Japan on November 13.

Skullgirls Encore’s Eliza Making Her Xbox 360 Debut on October 14

Due to yet another round of issues on Microsoft’s platform, Eliza’s appearance in the Xbox 360 version of Skullgirls Encore called for a slight delay after her debut on PlayStation 3 and PC. Fortunately, those circumstances have been cleared up and the folks at Lab Zero Games have announced that she will be available for download next Tuesday, October 14.

Lab Zero’s Earl “render” Gertwagen relayed to us that the indie fighter’s Required Compatibility Update will be revised on the same day, which means player need to be sure they redownload that content so they can play with Eliza. Much like past characters, she will be free to download for a period of three months after her launch.

For a look at what this spooky diva is capable of, feel free to check out her release trailer below.
