"Jump Force" Official Discussion Thread

[ZeroNeonix]

So this new Shonen Jump fighting game was announced for smartphones today.

Any chance the characters in this game might hint to who could appear in Jump Force?

Possibly. I see Kira and Ryuk in the crowd, once again implying that they are playable despite comments that they can't be due to them being OP. Jump Force's roster might not be so big, though. The mobile game's art style looks simpler. Making all these chibi-ish characters isn't as challenging as giving them realistic models.

[SSJmole]

I want to see Rukia or ichigo get added next though , will buy like like jstars

And your wish has been granted. But they are SURPRISINGLY in their timeskip (final arc) forms, along with Aizen.

That's awesome!

I had seen the Japanese site for Jump Force at one point but I can't seem to find it again. Anybody have a link?

[Gyt Kaliba]

So we've had a new screenshot that shows Rukia clashing swords with Aizen, so...is that a story bit, or is she actually playable this time around? I kept assuming she was just a support character like in J-Stars (especially since they kept only showing her in relation to Ichigo like using him would give you access to a move that called her in or something).

I'm pretty sure she was confirmed playable a while back. This game's 3-v-3 tagging system doesn't allow dedicated support characters like in J-Stars. In fact, I don't think we ever posted the V-Jump scan for Jump Force here, since it shows off more of the Bleach characters:

[Rinsankajugin]

Sorry for a technical double post (it's been a few days anyways), but the Bleach characters trailer was released.

Also. that Weekly Jump intro feels very Marvel-esque.

[Waluigiman]

If there was DLC is there a chance secondary characters would be playable?

[MCDaveG]

Somehow, I really do not like the art style, reminds me that weird playdoh art direction of Taiketsu :/
I really would love to see some classic cel-shade so the characters would look more like their comics and anime selves.

Maybe I will watch some videos after this comes out and I think I will pass.
Will there be Saint Seiya or Yu Yu Hakusho in this one? You know, I am an old timer after all

Anything's possible but I think DLC will more than likely focus on main characters.

I hope it does, I mean who wouldn't want the whole group of Z fighters? Altough it would be too much and maybe too unfair if the other franchises will be outnumbered.

I'm hoping we'll get more than Goku, Vegeta and Freeza in the base game as the DLC will give us a better roster than the first game. I expect we'll get Trunks and Piccolo at the very least as both are popular and different enough to justify their inclusion.

Yep, those two are likely to appear later.

Gon (w/ adult form) x Hisoka Scan

[Rinsankajugin]

New V-Jump scan, shows off more of Gon, Hisoka and the Liberty-Namek stage, but it also reveals Sanji and Blackbeard too!

[Logania]

Wow, I wasn't expecting Blackbeard. I was thinking Akainu and Doflamingo, but this is awesome! Definitely gonna play as him.

Now...they need to hurry up and show off JoJo, I wanna see who's gonna make it (Jotaro and Dio of course) and how they'll look in this realistic style.

[sintzu]

One piece is so far getting 3 new characters (Zoro, Sanji and Black beard) which will bring its total number to 7 assuming the 4 in the first game carry over. DB currently has 3 from the first game (Goku, Vegeta and Freeza) so hopefully we can at least 4 new ones to bring it up to One Piece's number. If they're just using manga characters I'd like to see Piccolo, Future Trunks, Cell and Kid Buu. Naruto also just has 3 so Kakashi, Gaara and Orochimaru would be good additions to start with.

[ZeroDio]

If or when DBZ gets 4 more... I prefer

Android 18
Piccolo
Future Trunks (Saiyan Armor)
Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed)

[jcogginsa]

Assuming that each series will get four representatives, which I recognize is not really a safe assumption, my predictions are

Dragonball: Vegeta, Krillin
Naruto: Sakura Haruno, Madara Uchiha
Hunterx Hunter: Killua Zoldyck, Meruem
Bleach: Uryu Ishida

Now, as for unconfirmed series

Jojo: Dio Brando, Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Giorno Giovanna
My Hero Academia: Deku, Bakugo, All Might, All For One

[SSJgogeto]

Dragonball: Vegeta

If you look closely, you can see Gon attacking Vegeta here:

Spoiler:View

It looks like we may be able to create our own character based on who showed up at the very end.
