Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax and Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate tournament announced

A new fighting game tournament titled APM Presents D-1 Ultimate Climax will pit players against each other in Sega’s new arcade fighting game, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, as well as Tecmo Koei’s arcade version of Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate.

The Japan Gamer’s Live event, hosted by Sega, will also be the battleground for the Arc Revolution Cup 2014, featuring popular Arc System Works’ fighting game titles BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, Persona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold, and Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-.

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is a relatively new fighting game which was released on March 18, 2014. It features characters from the Dengeki Bunko line of light novels, such as Kirito from Sword Art Online and Shana from Shakugan No Shana.

This will be the first major tournament for Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, and I hope to see its players push the game to its limits, showcasing professional plays and combos.
