Jump Super Stars Character List

Post by Mike » Tue Aug 09, 2005 10:16 pm

Nintendo's official Jump Super Stars site has a pretty extensive list of characters that are going to be in the game.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ajsj/p3.html

It seems there are going to be quite a few Dragon Ball characters, both playable and support. It's great to see Piccolo and Krillin as playable characters.

The best news of all is that Dr. Slump is also included in this game. Arale and the Gatchans are playable. There is also another character that I'm not familiar with. Too bad Senbei is only support. This is certainly great news and also the final push for me to actually get this game.

KIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

Ahh, so they added Gotenks into the game. So this must mean that there will be new screen shots.

That'd be Dr. Mashirito, Senbei's nemesis and the manga counterpart of Toriyama's old editor, Kazuhiko Torishima. He says "Botsu" ("Rejected!") all the time, because of the real life editor's supposed fickleness; he was cast into the series because he kept rejecting all of Toriyama's designs for the character he would become. :)

I'm shocked, hurt and offended that neither Saint Seiya nor Fist of the North Star characters were included, and yet Yugioh and Prince of Tennis is. It's amazing how characters from fighting series manage to not get into a fighting game, yet a card game and sports can. Pfft.

Can't believe Saint Seiya isn't there either, but Fist of the Nort Star would be kinda difficult, seeing the mangaka has his own publishing company now.

Nope, L and Light & Ryuuk are just support characters ["summons"]

Anyway, I ordered J!SS a while ago, using the cheapest shipping, so I hope to get this game at the beginning of next week...

Is that how it is? What does that make Misa?

Ha! As crazy as that sounds, it fits perfectly in the wacky Dr. Slump world. Would you happen to know what volume he first appears in? Also would this editor be the same one who rejected all of Toriyama's Android Saga villains?

I'm not 100% but it would make sense if the playable characters had the big pictures while the support characters had the little images at the bottom.

Misa is a Help character, which gives your character a attributeboost or something like that. [I.e. speedboost]

Playable characters can have 4 blocks till 7 blocks koma, while Support characters have 2 and 3 blocks koma. Help characters have 1 block koma. Depending on the size of, a character can have different attacks.

[Koma being the small pics at the touchscreen]

Too bad no characters from Kinnikuman are in the game even though it's a "fighting manga".

I agree that they should have at least had Kinnikuman Suguru, if not Kinnikuman Tarou... that's a classic Jump! manga right there...

And Robo-Toriyama would fit perfectly. And would probably play better than in Tobal.

Sorry to bump this thread but I've had this game for more than a week so I can talk about it. First of all, it really shows that Nintendo developped the game, the game really feels like a "Super Smash Bros" game, gameplay wise.

The story mode is fun, I liked how they made the "Dragon Ball" stage the final stage of the "main story mode". That's a nice touch. I also liked how they adapted the characters in order to make them look good together (à la Capcom vs SNK).

Creating your own team can be a little hard at first if you don't speak Japanese but once you get the hang of it, you can't wait to unlock new cards to create new decks.

One of the things I didn't like though is using the d-pad with the touch screen thing on your thumb at the same time. It takes some time getting used to it.

Nintendo didn't develop the game, they're just the publisher, Ganbarion is the developer. [One Piece Grand Battle]

_Still_ waiting for the game to arrive together with Dragon Ball Advance Adventure, though it shipped on the fourth. ;_;

It clearly says developed by Nintendo and Ganbarion when you turn up the game... In fact, during the end credits, it says something like "gameplay, game... copyright Nintendo" and then "characters... copyright Jump".
