Boy, fanbase on this thread has really dwindled.
"We be we baby!"
The Fighting Gamer: Round II: Breakdown Blow
I wouldn't say that it's dwindled, its just that there's nothing to talk about. We know that SK 2 and Estival Versus are coming out overseas in the winter.
Outside of getting hype about Japanese gameplay footage and waifu wars, there's nothing to talk about.
My love and passion for fighting games is rivaled only by how complete and utter shit I am at them.
Yeah, I've been lurking and have just had nothing to say.
Doin' stuff

Same here. I don't usually post anywhere unless I have something interesting to talk about.

HOMURA IS A CHARACTER ON THE NITROPLUS FIGHTING GAME
Shocking Gun!
... Okay. I have no idea what Nitroplus has to do with Senran Kagura, but okay. One step closer to that fighting game, I guess.
Honestly I want to make a joke they mistook her to the other Homura (hey, Gen Urobuchi works for Nitro+)

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!
It seems they just added her because Marvelous' involved on the console port.
Wonder if this is the crossover Takaki mentioned in May?
I hope Asuka manages to appear somehow on the game, Homura without Asuka feels weird.
Shocking Gun!
The game has an Assist Character system, so that seems the most likely solution.
That would be FANTASTIC
Hope the next spinoff is a fighting game.

...There's a Nitroplus fighting game?

That seems to be the case

Guess what?

XSEED is firing all cilinders this year
Takaki will be at the E3 and Techraptor has confirmed an interview with him

Shocking Gun!
And the translation announcement. It comes out this winter in West. I don't think that Homura is officially announced for the game, though. We currently only have the scan.
Shocking Gun!
Deep Crimson and Estival Versus trailers
Takaki is such a chill dude. And he's gonna be busy today
very hyped for SK 2 not so much for EV but still, good to see both games getting some press at the E3
Another interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMMc0xhvNuI
Of note, he wants to keep SK on 3DS and Vita to avoid confusing the fans and the New Waves are fair game now.
Shocking Gun!
Just to post this, but someone is translating Estival Versus' story. The translation can be bit wonky at times and they are currently done chapter 3.
Shocking Gun!
A short conversation bits from siliconera what simply brings few points about the physics engine.
This made me laugh
Another small interview with Takaki
https://deepestdream.com/exclusive-kenichiro-takaki-talks-senran-kagura-titles-and-gaming-life/
This is Japan specific, but in Japan the younger gamer is a lot different than the usual gamer that we used to have. There are so many smartphone and tablet games. So those casual gamers – there could be a time when they want to have actual interaction with pushing something and eventually moving onto a controller, but I can’t really say if that’s the way it will be. But one of my tasks as a developer is to create games that they’ll be interested in – and hopefully (they will) use that controller.
Interesting answer
New Takaki interview
http://www.technologytell.com/gaming...rseas-success/
Takaki: Uh… not really.
I wanted to make a solid game but something I really enjoyed playing. As long as the game mechanics are solid, when people play it, they’ll understand it. It’s really hard to please those people and have the essence of what this game is.
TT: So… this is a different sort of question. The persona that you show is a very bombastic, focused, driven, single-minded sort of persona. Is that you? Or is that sort of this character that you like to portray for the mythos?
Takaki: [Laughs.] I try not to lie about who I am. I am pretty single-minded, and I just love games. I’m creating something that I enjoy, and I’m hoping that others will enjoy it or get something out of it.
Past titles, like Half-Minute Hero, have had my characteristics in a different way, too. It’s very comical, but has a different tone of what I’m trying to say. For those who haven’t played it, I would love for them to pick that up and see a different characteristic that I have. That was all me, too.
I love the guy
Makes it sound like a KOF Dream match isn't it? That explains the crossover characters at least.
Still, I hope this announcement doesn't impact negatively on SK 2 sales.
