Fatal Seabass

Plays a lot like Shana did in the last version? So another amazing character with ridiculous damage, insane pressure, and mixups? I'm happy that the game will be seeing a rebalance. I hope they show Shizuo some love, but most importantly of all, they need to address some of the lackluster assists in the game. There are a lot that just hold no value whatsoever, even if you find interesting uses for them.

Greatest. Change. Ever.

Ok, learned the Akira combo. Also, I've added a few changes to Shizuo's page on the mizuumi page. I'll see what I can explore next.

Does anyone else have issues connecting online recently? I'll try to connect and get a message for a few moments before they kick me back to Main Menu.

Oh yeah, true. In terms of licensing, it's normally a nightmare. In terms of relevancy/popularity, I'm surprised DFC is making it over here. J-Stars not so much, even with it's minor characters. I do hope it still sees success so that there will be more people to play against.

I disagree. J Stars has characters that are much more noticeable in the West because of their overall success. Many people are familiar with DBZ, One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, and other of the series involved in that game. Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax? Not so much. I consider myself a slightly above average manga/anime enthusiast and I was unfamiliar with everyone in that game except for Akira from Virtua Fighter.Heck, I didn't even know about SAO and it's characters. I think that is why it's so surprising to see this game getting localized considering how uncommon the series involved in that game may be.

I am very very happy that this game is coming to the West. I love this game and think it's very underrated. I can't wait to see more people playing it!

As frustrating as it is online, I just can't put the game down. While it's simple, I think it's very fun. With a few tweaks and changes here and there, they could really have a game on their hands if they ever decided to make a DFC2.

Looks like the gameplay is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyXl3jetGQI What do you guys think?

Good games, Lvl5-JeepChan. Your Miyuki is crazy good. That unblockable Trump Card setup is so annoying, lol. You also had a lot of nice overhead reads on me. And the connection was good too, so it made for enjoyable games.

Interesting. As with most fighters, I'll be looking forward to this game.

1. You can find a decent amount of players at varying times. Sometimes, you will run into a bunch of Japanese players but it depends on the time you go on Ranked. 2. Unfortunately, there is no challenge mode. But the mizuumi wiki page for Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax has combos you can explore. Luckily enough, the game isn't that hard where the combos are that execution heavy. 3. Shizuo... can take a lot of work to get going. I've seen some really awesome things from Japanese players, but it's a challenge. He's a fun character though. 4. I got it from Play Asia and had no problems but I did use express shipping. 5. Most likely not.

Agreed. Also, I saw you guys both mention Alicia assist. I have heard others make the comments that in Japan, Alicia assist is seen as one of the best assists in the game. Is it her 5S and it's cooldown or 6S okizeme/pressure?

Is the consensus that Kino is the best assist in the game? While I can see arguments for that, I would rather prefer assists with a little bit more utility. Kino's 6S is indeed fantastic for combo extensions, but I find myself favoring assists that help with okizeme and difficult mixups a lot more. For example, I really like to use Kirino and I have used Kino a lot. As mentioned, she can extend combos which in hand extends damage and other things. However, I've been leaning towards Kureneko's Rose Petals and Mashiro's Cats. When done properly, they can both apply mixups and combo extensions as well. I guess what Kino has going for her is her low cooldown as well. Whatever the case may be, I think Kino, Dokuro, Kojou, Enju are the strongest. Ryuuji, Koko Kaga, Leafa, and Kuroneko would probably follow up for me, in my opinion. I would love to know what you guys think are the strongest assists. What do you find the most overrated? Underrated?

Oh wow. Interesting. You learn a lot of new things as time goes on, which I love to see. Thanks, guys. And yeah, I'll try to include cooldown times for both 5S and 6S moves.

Now that I've spent all this time with assists, I'll get started on the assist description, pictures, and damage very soon on the wiki. Not sure how to make the background itself transparent in photoshop yet, but I'll try my damnedest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl8ZaPNOuk0 Ok, I did an updated version. Corrected Enju, fixed Holo description, added Tatsuya 6s, fixed Izaya. Thanks to everyone who helped me out, once again!

So in other words, don't push buttons when Selvaria is waking up? Lol.

Ah, I see. Thanks dude. I'll be sure to include that. Much appreciated!

Oh ok. Not sure how I missed that. I 100% remember editing that clip. Yeah, I will include that in the reupload. Thanks for the heads up, Vesperion! Also, what is the secret Enju assist? And it seems that there is some secret Izaya assist trigger as well that I missed.

I appreciate it, Silvius! And yeah. That timestamp sounds like a good idea. I'll work on it! Added timestamps. Also realized that I didn't include the text for Holo's assist. I'll reupload with changes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucsNCbF1VtE Just posted a video of a quick rundown of the assists and some of the finer details. Thanks to these forums for breaking down some of the more complex assists that had hidden actions. I really appreciated it. Right now, it's a rough draft. If I missed anything, please let me know and I'll fix it.

Awesome. Never thought about using Leafa with Kirino. Will give it a try now. :D

Yep, this sounds about right. But one thing that you left out is that Izaya's 5S can be forced if you hit the opponent. So it's both a counter and a on hit effect.

Keep the good stuff coming, guys. It's really interesting to see these setups and assist info. For Selveria players, I know that Alicia is a go to assist for her but what other assist are you guys fond of to make the best user out of her kit? @Silvius: Thanks for that info about Dokuro. I am compiling a list of info regarding all the assists so I'm glad you found that out. Good stuff. Weird question but how on Earth did you find that!? LOL.
