"J-Stars Victory VS+" Official Discussion Thread

I came....twice. Seriously though, the only two characters I asked for.... and they're in. Wish it was that easy for other games I had wishes for.

This is pretty good. There's really nobody else I'm clamoring for to make it in, but I expect a Jotaro Kujo announcement any day now. Who knows how far they will dig back for the roster, but maybe Arale could make it in.

[JeffJarrett]

Shaman King, JoJo, and Hokuto no Ken are missing.

I guess? The game hasn't come out yet, there's still tons of time to announce more characters. No series is "missing".

I also have to wonder what are the chances for Shaman King to be included. What with it being cancelled during its run. I mean it got those spin offs and the author was able to finish properly with the re-release but...I don't know. It's not the first series that I think people would've been clamoring for.

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

Alright looks like I'm officially importing this game.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Whoa. As much as I really wanted to see Yusuke in the game, I figured the chances were really low of it happening. But man - they're doing great on this game so far IMO, even going so far as to throw in Kenshin and Yusuke. I. Must. Have. This. Game.

Still kinda hoping for Wingman, and Arale, to make it in though. Hell, even Bobobo would be fun as hell probably, and I'm not even a Bobobo fan.

[SaiyanZ]

Fuck yes, Yusuke is in! 2nd fav series of all time man....Gon too, is a plus. Both Togashi characters revealed at the same time, as I expected. Now, if Hunter X Hunter would resume as well lol. Looks like in one of the shots, they put Goku and Yusuke on the same team

Put these in, along with Saint Seiya and (if possible) Yu-Gi-Oh and the game is perfect for me
Yugi could have an interesting fighting style... somewhat ranged attack (using monster cards) and his defense being based on magic and trap cards.

That's something I've noticed lately here. The initial reveal of the game was with just Goku, Luffy, and Toriko if I recall. Then they confirmed Naruto. Since the original four though, they've been making character reveals in pairs that are vaguely related - Kenshin and Ichigo (swordsmen), the cop from KochiKame and Gin (comic relief), and now Gon and Yusuke (both Yoshihiro Togashi leads). If there are more characters left to reveal (which I hope they are), and this trend continues...well, if we could figure out a formula here, we might be able to make some guesses as to who's left.

Good eye. Perhaps we'll get Kenshirou and Jojo at the same time, since they're the same sort of archetype?

YUSUKE HOLY SH*T!!! YUSUKE HOLY SH*T!!!! HOLY SH*T YES!! *Cue Daniel Bryan yes chant*


...honestly could care less for the other guy. I know he's another popular one, but never really cared even after trying to check his story out.

...Yami Yugi...he's the ONLY one left. ...the only one...

[DBZGTKOSDH]

The only manga/anime I care for are Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, and Dr. Slump. So, only Norimaki Arale-chan from Dr. Slump remains for me, and I don't find her inclusion very unlikely.

She will split the planet and half and bounce people off planets as her moves

I would love to see that.

Woah, good catch with Bobobo. Wasn't that a fairly big title when it was running, considering it was a gag series and not strictly battle-oriented? Bobobo made the cover of the best of the 2000s series awhile back, so I'd say he is also very likely.

(Here's also 1968-1978, 1978-1988, 1988-1998.)

[hulkty]

OMG!! HOW COULD I FORGET BOBOBO!?!!?

Okay, new needs:
Yami Yugi
Bobobo
Main character from Shaman King
...and for LOLs
the main characters of Prince of Tennis, Slam Dunk, and Death Note.

Tennis racket, basketball, and ink pen Vs. A Super Saiyan Super Spirit Bomb! LOLOLOL!!

Sounds like Injustice: Gods Among Us.
By the way, I'm really impressed that they revealed some of the most antecipated characters already.
I expect Yoh Asakura to be revealed with Jotaro Kujo (characters who can summon familiars), Taikobou with Pegasus Seiya (characters related to mythological stories), Arale with Kinnikuman (characters from comedy series who can fight), Bossun with Medaka Kurokami (characters from crazy school manga) and Yami Yugi with Bo-bobo (just because).

[JeffJarrett]

I want Ichidō Rei and Ryo Saeba.

[Kamiccolo9]

I want Ichidō Rei and Ryo Saeba.

I want Shishio Makoto. And Marik.

Hmm, that'd be about 20 characters, which is a pretty good sized roster, so I could get behind this - though out of these, I only really know Arale, Kinikkuman (slighly), Yugi, and Bobobo. But as I said, I'm even looking forward to Bobobo since he'd play insanely no doubt, and I don't even really like that series.

Can't believe I didn't think of Yoh or Saint Seiya. Hmm...Light Yagami could be interesting too, but I'm not entirely sure how you could make him playable either.
