J-Stars Victory VS

[Super Goku]

This game is set to be released in North America and Europe in Summer 2015. I hope it is a good game. A fighting game with characters from various anime sounds cool.

I got the original game, so "plus" would really have to impress me. Though there are some rumors characters will be cut.

I can also say it losing some characters. Licensing will make sure of that. I'm sure we're going to have a few of the more obscure characters cut for whatever reason, but I reeeeally hope there isn't some legal bullsh*t with Bobobo and CN that gets him cut. I could totally see that being a potential issue.

Either way I wish the One Piece character selection wasn't so sh*t. The rest of the "big" Jump series got the heavy hitters, but One Piece got Luffy and that's it. Boa I'm sorta OK with, but f*cking Ace and Akainu? Talk about boring and uninspired. How does no other member of the Straw Hats make that cut? A cyborg with nipple lights? A fencing skeleton? No, it's cool! Just put in Luffy's dumb plot-device brother and an enemy with no personality. They also both have the most boilerplate Devil Fruit abilities in the series. I'd rather have Kizaru or Aokiji if they were choosing between Marine Admirals. The only way it could be worse is if f*cking Law was on the roster. Hopefully One Piece is one of the series they give more characters to for +, but I doubt it. I always have Pirate Warriors 3 to look forward to!

Allio, how do you like the game in general? I've never played it, but I'm excited to try it out. I'm gonna watch some gameplay of it, because I've never actually seen it in action.

Also, I'm weirdly excited to play as both Gin and Luckyman.

It's alright, it is a whole lot harder to figure out a character more than Ninja Storm/Tenkaichi series. but when you can remember the combos, it gets good, I honestly say the character have more weight here then in Storm/Tenkaichi. certain characters have abilities that are only, example for Ichigo, when you go into "Victory" mode, you can perform a finisher that will one hit ko an opponent if it hits...but once you use the finisher, you are ko'd.

some times the difficult spikes are impossible, if you are playing one character you and your partner might have extreme difficulty with characters that can zone from a distance, even on a medium setting (at least I did after I returned to the game 6 months after stopped playing)

My favorite character was playing as Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom. he is a fun wild character where his missle is a great counter attack.

CN aired like 90% of the shows that made it west in this game, so I don't know what that would have to do anything (it's super early so maybe I'm just not following your train of thought). If Bobobo gets cut though, it'd make me sad.

Yeah that lineup for the series doesn't make any bloody sense. Teach makes more sense as the villain entry, Zoro at least for the #2 good guy character. If they wanted a female character for the series I don't see why it couldn't be Nami or Robin. I mean there's two way more important characters than Luffy's stalker.

Naruto's villain entry made almost as little sense. I mean yeah, Madara was the "current" villain at the time of the game, but most series were going for the most "iconic", like Frieza for DBZ. So by all means it should've been Orochimaru.

It's a train of thought that comes from ignorance mostly. We don't get CN in Canada, so I have little knowledge of it. Bobobo is one of the more niche shows I know they've shown. Usually without the biggest of names, they can't throw their weight around when it comes to licensing to air across seas, which I've heard leads to far worse deals in a number of ways that could cause complications. I look at something like Tatsunoku vs Capcom, which had an incredible number of issues obtaining rights for various characters from Time Warner and couldn't get the rights to some obscure Tatsunoku property from Saban, and I get scared at the possibility of us losing some of the more obscure characters who've somehow managed to sneak over here. You're probably right, though.

Yeah, it looks stupid from the perspective of having interesting characters to play as, but it looks REAL DUMB if you're looking at it as a representation of the series and not a snapshot of where the anime happens to be at that time. I'm guessing this thing came out during the Marineford arc, because that's the only way their character choices make any sense. If it didn't they look even worse. It sucks other series seem to have gotten that same weird treatment.

Sounds crazy. I've also never played the Ninja Storm or Tenkaichi games, because I have no interest in those franchises, so I'm going into this thing completely blind. I watched some gameplay last night and it seemed to get confusing as sh*t, but in a way I can usually handle pretty well. Still excited to try it out.

Allio, you bringing up Tenkaichi makes me nervous. I tried those games twice, and I just couldn't figure out how to play the pieces of ****. I preferred the Budokai control style way more, it was more familiar and simple.

Is this game anything like that, with the awkward controls and camera angles? If not, I'm totally going to grab it, because I'm pretty interested in a chunk of the cast here.

I looked it up for you. I don't think you're gonna like it.

Needs more One Piece characters, and f*ck those camera angles.

I don't know if it needs "more", but rather "a better selection".

Yeah, that's better wording. The choices are really strange that they picked. No Zoro or Sanji? They would've been perfect for a fighting game.

The first DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi isn't really bad and the
powered up attacks are really easy to remember. The latter Tenkaichi games get more complicated. Then again, I didn't play the last two games all that much.

Yeah, I've played the first and the third.

And no thank you why do they think these camera angles are a good idea? What's wrong with 3d environments but a 2d view? Oh, it's that it's playable, isn't it!

[Ninjinister]

Oh dip I forgot that Bobobo was in a batch of screens released on VS + announce date so he's totes in. I just wish there was a dub option, even if it was just for Bobobo and Kenshiro.

That's good to know, thanks!
