"J-Stars Victory VS+" Official Discussion Thread

[dbboxkaifan]

This game should be getting at least a release in Europe but due to the licence issues that seems unlikely, though I wish so it'd be in English/French/Spanish. Searched the game on Amazon JP, PlayAsia and YesAsia and neither one has it yet up for pre-orders.

Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers is currently £27.98 on Amazon and I'm settled for that one, can't wait for the game to be dispatched (November 1).

I really hope there's a great campaign mode to come along with this.

Also Goku vs Yusuke

That's it. Best game ever. Need this now. And it will only get even better.

[dbboxkaifan]

I'm so happy they got everything (or so) right in this game. It's definitely worthy of pre-ordering! Can't wait to get it regardless EU or JP release!

[Rukura]

What they're calling "Victory Burst", they're also calling "Victory Voltage" at the same time? lol

Anyway, I was already totally sold on the game.

[dbboxkaifan]

I do have to say that I love the fact that in this game Goku is named "Goku Son" (first + surname) whereas normally he's called as Son Goku.

I'm willing to pre-order this game even if it costs £45+.

That's strange. I wonder why they are doing that? "Goku Son" just sounds wrong.

They're just using the appropriate way of how names are (as is in EU/US), it's the first and then the surname or we'd have this, e.g., Carrey Jim, Stiller Ben, Carell Steve, Moretz Chloé, Perry Katy, Hill Jonah.

Personally, I like Goku Son more than Son Goku.

Wait, the D-PAD isn't used for anything? It could have been used to switch items, characters or something.

In the manga and anime, Goten had a shirt saying "Goten Son" when Vegeta, Bulma and Trunks visited before the last Tenkaichi of the series.

Well, yeah. I get that. I'm just wondering why they are doing it in a Japanese game. I wonder if Kenshin is "Kenshin Himura" as well.

He is. http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/li ... /ch06.html

Why does every new trailer for this game make it look even more awesome, gah! I must have it eventually. I must.

Gushing aside, has a translated version popped up, or anything, to where we know what they say in this trailer? I'm curious about what's said about the battle system, like if there is indeed a support character system, and if there are still more characters coming.

[Kaboom]

Come ooooon, let's see Bo-Bobo and Don Patch get announced already! A Dr. Slump character or two wouldn't hurt, either...

[Mewzard]

Wait, that's all they added for their TGS trailer? Come on, you've still got so many big guns that need representation...or are you waiting for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle and Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers to be out a bit before revealing characters from those series? By the way, both are coming to the US (Digitally only for Brave Soldiers, nothing confirmed yet for All Star Battle).

I'm still waiting for Kenshiro, Seiya, Jonathan/Joseph/Jotaro, and Kinnikuman myself (from those series that made 80s Jump awesome alongside Dragon Ball). That said, I'd love some Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Dr. Slump support.

[Saiga]

Kind of unsure about Ichigo being KO'd by his own Mugetsu. I know KO's aren't permanent, but don't you lose victory meter for getting hit by one? So his technique would only be worth it if it generates more meter than the KO loses for his team, which sounds to me like he'd have to KO at least two people with it (unless it generates extra meter as a special effect) which sounds hard to pull off, even if it's a guaranteed KO on whoever it hits (might not be). Aaand you still get KO'd if it misses. Doesn't seem worth it, and I bet the other characters don't have such drawbacks (as it only makes sense for Mugetsu).

Also, apparently Naruto can transform into both his Sage Mode and Kurama Mode. So maybe we're getting multiple transformations per character.

[goku the krump dancer]

Am I the only one that anticipated that "BEJIIIIIITTTAAAAA!!!" when the announcer was introducing the rivals lol.

This game looks awesome man.

[PhoenixEX]

I'm still hoping Yugi gets announced as a playable character.
Something tells me it probably won't happen though...
