Okay guys. I'm back with another update. This time featuring a sneak peek showcasing of the updates two new additions: Emi and Quensar. While this is not high level, this is a great chance to see how these two characters look before they're in the locktest tomorrow (or today etc).

It won't be taken down, it was uploaded by Dengeki Online for their news article.

Urgh. They romanized Quenser's name as Qwenthur.

Anyways, Quenser seems like a fun character to play as.

Wait, I must have missed out something early on but when did they have the ability to choose two assist characters? Then again both Lyfa and Kamijou weren't being used so what's that "charging" they're doing?

[HasuMasu]

It's a new thing for Ignition.

October release date huh? That might be a problem for me.

At this point they might as well bring it over to PS4. I wonder how good the Vita controls are for fighting games...

Blazblue worked great on the Vita, J-Stars VS+ not so much (imho). It all depends on how many inputs you need for the game. If the game uses the full Dualshock 3 then you'll get some tacked on touchscreen controls, otherwise the buttons on the Vita are some of the best buttons I've ever used and I just wish the Dualshock 3 ones had the same feel to them.

'International licensing for the cast wasn’t too hard' - SEGA talks localizing Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, how it differs from Virtua Fighter
Snippet:

Nyoro: Did you look at the popularity of each character when deciding to localize the game? Like, “Sword Art Online’s Asuna and Kirito are popular among anime fans, so it will appeal?” Or was it more “this game has characters from all these anime series, so it will appeal to all sorts of anime fans” in a general, wide-sweeping sense?

Sam: It’s a little bit of the second one. Obviously, in the West some characters will be much more popular than others mainly because of the access to those characters in terms of media. It’s really all about access and how well people can access the characters and their background. We don’t really know if any characters in DFC now or in the future will take off in the West, but because there’s such a wide variety, we figured it was a pretty good bet to go with this title.

If you ask me, most of the people who would buy this would most likely know most of the shows and have seen at least half of them, with or without.... Official media

It seems more like an "Anime fan first, fighting game fan second" kind of thing.

EDIT: Oh I see there's more follow up-

Sam: To immediately answer your question, the international licensing for the cast wasn’t too hard because all the characters are owned under the Dengeki Bunko overarching license. If I may speculate a little, what I think has happened over the past 20 years is that originally Japanese developers and creators who wanted to license content overseas weren’t very aware of how to go about it. So they offered it piecemeal and created all sorts of problems. Over time they’ve realized this is a bad idea and have altered the licensing structure to become much more intelligent and much easier to execute on. It’s still not easy, but it’s much easier than it used to be.

First step towards more Anime/LN series games being localized?

Tatsuya Shiba confirmed to be a playable character.

Nevermind that it's Onii-sama, does this mean they're finally going to start making Assist Characters playable?!

[ACertainStark]

That's all I take away from this news. I hope that means Touma and/or Accelerator become playable.

I'm hoping for Touma Kamijou to become playable. Seriously, Touma needs to punch Miyuki's "Onii-sama!"

In before Material Burst is part of a normal combo somehow

As others have mentioned already, I hope this means more supports become playable. Personally, I want to see Boogiepop and Kino.

What? I know captain commando, but I don't understand the point here.
