Behold! The greatest anime crossover game in existence >god tier roster>god tier gameplay>based around the greatest period from Shonen JumpHow do we tell Japan to go back to 2D fighter crossover games? The 3D ones suck ass.
Game just had a ton of love and effort put into it.>assemble a manga page from different panels to construct your loadout>panels come (redrawn) from their actual manga and depict iconic moments>characters can give bonuses and say quips to others if there's a connection or similarity when you make your loadout>huge campaign>surprisingly capable online for the DS>fuckload of characters, assists, stages, and itemsIt's the closest a game has ever come to Smash Bros in terms of content, quality, and love for the source material.The only problems are the dogshit balance and the online community in general.
Faggots that used Sena 3 or Trunks 3 online will burn in hell.
>>728969681What I liked about this is that no one character was front and center. It was a proper ensemble.Nowadays you have a game like this and Luffys ugly face would be plastered from and center with everyone else out of focus.
>>728971498Yeah
Ah, the last Jump game to include Kinnikuman. I don't understand why he was left out of Jump Force. Maybe that dogshit have would've been worth playing if they included him.
>cucked smash>God tier gameplay
>>728971498Luffy's not that ugly
>>728971637>releases with laughably shit campaign mode>just a midlly okay arena fighter>dies instantly>japs take it offlineThey didn't even TRY to make this game fun and enjoyable, then decided to take it out back and shoot it. Fuck scamco, they can't even make video toys right.
For me, it's was the principal of otokojuku Heihachi Edajima and Champion the Afro Luffy.
>>728971452Add Seiya 3 to that list.
>>728971890I don't get why all of these games need a gay story to reconcile why all my anime guys are fighting, just do some custom robo type shit where I'm a kid and MY FAVORITE ANIME GUY IS BETTER THAN YOUR FAVORITE ANIME GUY and they fight in some abstracted video game shit. I don't need Vegeta talking directly to the HunterXHunter guy in some plot dialogue shit
>>728972009These stories can't even reach the oh-so lofty heights of Subspace Emissary. It's insane how much resources and time they dedicate and waste with their COMPLETE lack of effort, talent and passion.
>manga panel upgrade systemThis game was truly kino
>>728969681Wasn't this the last time Kinnikuman appeared in a Jump game? I think that's why I didn't bother with any of the later ones. Also the fact that the rosters were a fraction of the DS game. Also I fucking hate anime.
>>728971637>Only iconic character is Goku>The other two were basically flavor of the month shit for weebs>Shitty grim dark lighting and CG instead of reh colorful art that Shonen is known forAnd they wonder why these games bombed.
Where's Toriko
Some crazy nigga has spent like the past 5-6 years making a Mugen Jump Force clone that closely mimicks this game's art style. I've been wanting to download it, but then I look at the 50gb size and I go back to playing something on Steam.https://youtu.be/q4rwpb0Zq1U?si=nBTIuEAVWGe81BDA
>>728972514Is that a blond Jonathan?
>>728972009>don't get why all of these games need a gay story to reconcile why all my anime guys are fightingA properly written campaign mode that matched Subspace Emissary would have been pretty cool.
>>728969681For me it's Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax
I had so many good memories with this game. the Japanese are fucking ruthless. anyone remember the yu yu hakasho stage with the platform at the top right? you would always get some asshole hiei, bankai ichigo, or dio (hacker) or joe standing on the edge of the platform while everyone else fights. and if you happen to accidently hit them they would fuck you up. oh and prepared to get fucking mad with rage when that hiei repeatedly stabs your dead body, and if you were one of the weak little pacifists he'd kill himself and let you live. god damn I fucking miss it. would play this shit on the bus and with some people online too
Great game but it has a sort of underwater floatiness that you have to get used to every time you come back to it.
how did you play this game? It's only in japanese.
>>728971890>>just a midlly okay arena fighterI dunno, I thought it was so shit it was pretty obvious they started with the dumb campaign mode and worked backwards from there.The entire loot system is based around character creation, like it thinks it's Xenoverse or something.
>>728976449Forcing yourself through the menus. Back then there already were translated guides, and I think the english patch got released not much later.
>>728976449DS is region free
>>728971498>>728971637That's what happens when you change developers
>>728969681I quite literally and unironically asked my parents for a DS back in the day (and ordered a flashcart online with my own cash) to play this and ouendan.It was worth it.Back when you had to use slot 1 and slot 2 and patch the roms to play on the cart.The good ol times.
Coming back to this game after reading a bunch of series I was unfamiliar with when I was younger, like Kinnikuman and Otokojuku, completely recontextualized key character interactions in this game and references in this game and really helped the whole experience fall into place.
>>728976798Oh shit are characters from otokojuku here? Who? Haven't played in at least a decade.
>>728976449Imported it when I saw the preview in Nintendo Power and learned it wouldn't be coming to the west.Learned the entire game through trial and error.>>728976186No that shit was gay. People refusing to attack each other because they wanted to farm money and they would all team up on whoever wasn't a part of it.
>>728971748
>>728976449I 100%'d it using a 300+ page translated guide from GameFAQs
>>728976852nah it was kino and made me laugh
>>728976851Momotaro and heihachi are playable characters with others as support
>>728976851Only Momotaro and Edajima, but Edajima is actually one of the crazy post game boss type characters.
>>728976968If heihachi's power was accurately depicted he'd take all the panels from your and your opponents', the bastard is comically unstoppable.
>>728976920>queue to play a match>be forced to either do nothing for 2 minutes, restart your game, or fight 3v1It's cute the first few times, especially when people show off glitches to kill the time, but I want to play, not idly grind currency.
For me it was the bird.
>>728969681Yep kino gameGot the translated rom still on my phone
>>728977070He is one of the characters with the best raw stats in the game but from what I remember he was hard to use with how expensive he was.
>>728976479>The entire loot system is based around character creationOh right, that part absolutely sucks shit. Every single character in that game is wasted.
>>728977258All I remember from this game was how you could play basically anything as long as you could slot that SSJ trunk 2 (or 3?) panel assist that broke you free of any combo. It was nuts.
how did they afford the licensing and original voice actors?
>>728976693I'm glad flashcarting has come a long way, having a DS and 3DS with a good ol flashcart that just werks is a whole different feel
>>728969681they should make a sequel, the game is amazing. one of the greatest ever, pretty much purely off the the back of fanservice
>>728977357It was a DS game, people didn't like hearing bit crunched shit back then anyways.
>>728976479Creating my own character was my favourite part, same with the moveset customisation stuff. That should be the core of anime license games I think, since endless retellings are mind numbingly boring and always going to be worse than the original. It made the One Punch Man game bearable and Xenoverse too.
Playing the translated rom on my Thor is peak
>>728969681There was a translated rom? Fuck
>>728977357No voice acting and all the IPs are owned by the same company
>>728977357All the manga involved are Jump properties, there wasn't much else to license, which reminds me, a lot of people don't know this game was published by Nintendo themselves.
>>728969681I consider this the only fighting game where HxH characters were given justice. Killian is such a fun character to play with his yoyos and lighting.
>>728977659Killua*
>>728972903>non Jump characters>OC forms>unnecessarily large effects that actually leave you blind>ear rape sound effects like you're watching a MUGEN ai vs ai video>50gbYeah, il pass
>oh hey Jonathan is in this game when was this made?>1989fuck...
>>728976449Printed out the GameFAQs guide.
>>728977781Is that Joe on the bottom next to arale?
>>728977781ATATATATATATATATATATATATA
>>728972903Why both making so many sprites in JSS/JUS style if you're just gonna make it a regular arcade fighter? The whole reason they made those sprites so compact was to accommodate for vertical movement and level design.
>>728969681>god tier roster>god tier gameplayboth of these are because it's a DS game with a comically tiny 256x192 resolution screen and pixel graphics. it's really easy to pad the roster when you can sprite out any given character in a day and it's easy to actually think about how all these characters play with all the extra time you haveevery other jump crossover after this one had a similarly low budget, they just had to spend 80% of that budget on graphics and voice actor fees instead
>>728969681>Pick KazukiOH MY TOEEEEEEEEEE
>>728976449There was a fan translation at the time. They only translated the menu which was enough to fully play the game. Not sure if anyone ever finished the translation.
>>728977939IIRC all the sprites in this game were done by the artist behind Eyeshield 21, or better known for the redraw for One Punch Man today.So while it was much easier working with such small sprites, it was just used as an excuse to make it all one guy's problem.
What the fuck was that series with the skinny blond guy with the claw?I feel like I've encountered the historical context for almost every other series in this game as I got more into manga and anime, but that one was always an oddity.
>>728978165This guy? >>728977142Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, the dude is a demon detective, He's in J-Stars too if I recall correctly.
>>728978165Nogami Neuro probably.
For me, it's Neuro.
>>728978221Yes him.I feel like it's the one series featured in this game I never encountered out of the context of this game.
>>728978165He's also the author that later made Ass Class.
>my boy Gin wasn't in the game, not even as an assist panelWhy does Jump hate Ginga that much?
>>728978286Super Stars had a more contemporary cast, and Ultimate was clearly putting some effort into digging up classics. Maybe if a third game had been made he would have gotten in.
>>728978286No one wants to beat up a dog.
>>728978265Anime remake when?
Sex.
>>728978425>romance for women
>>728978439Is that the manga where they let fans votes chose which girl won at the end?
>>728978339>Ultimate was clearly putting some effort into digging up classicsYou think? I see the cast of the Famicom Jump here >>728977781 and it makes realize it was barely the tip of the iceberg, most of the older (for the time) manga used were really popular ones.
>>728978439Wait a minute, is that the girl from the Newgrounds sim date game?
>>728978502They definitely had a long way to go, yes.
>>728978165Basically it's a supernatural detective manga, the parrot claw guy is a demon who "solves" mysteries in order to eat them with the girl he bullies forced to pretend to be the detective.It's actually a fun read with creative panel work and the main girl is cute, but I recall they never finished translating it and I'm an EOP.
>>728978439Kazura has always been god tier in designing waifus.Still confused on why Ryo Saeba isn't in Ultimate Stars though, City Hunter is definitely bigger than some series in it.
>>728978527Yup
>>728977781>every single protagonist looks manly, even the children>they're all draw with care and skill>nowadays it's the complete opposite Also WHY THE FUCK IS OTOKOJUKU IN ABSOLUTE OBLIVION NOWADAYS??? J-Star Vs was fucking fun but they TRASHED it for that ugly sequel
>>728978073>Space CobraSSSSOOOUUUUULLLLL
>>728969681Just have Sakurai direct a sequel/successor to this game, instead of making another fucking Smash Bros.
>>728978073Who's the chick in the top right?
>>728979143Lenalee from Dgray man.
>>728972009J Stars had a cool campaign because it tried to be light, fun and silly like a proper shonen crossover should play. Jump Force made an abysmal try hard edgy campaign where everyone looks stupid as shit while trying to be serious. And the fucking OC doesn't help the cause.
>>728978802I saw the anime first and after finishing it I went to read the manga. Was surprised at how different it was. The very first conflict in the manga was stretched into a full series with the anime and I kind of appreciate what the anime was trying to do.
>>728979195Thanks
>>728979216>Jump ForceSomeone post the webm
>>728979252I assume you mean the box guy as the first conflict is the whole main plot in the anime? That might be more concise than what the manga has after that arc.. I can't imagine liking the anime myself. What I liked about the manga was how they used the panels to really show how weird Neuro was and added a lot of background jokes behind the main focus, the expressions and stuff were the highlight of the villain reveals too.
>>728979141>Xebec will only be featured in Musou gamesCome on man
>>728979065Didnt this shut down? Along with another Jump crossover game that was 2D?
>>728980520Yeah, I remember there were two other Jump gacha that didn't last much. Ore Collection which was kind of cool because you collected manga panels, and another one which was 3d but I only saw pics.
>>728980240Atleast those games actually have a budget. Do you seriously want more garbage like Odyssey or Burning Blood? Because thats what they'll do.
>>728971890They probably used the same logic as the 3rd season of OPM>it's dogshit but people will still consoom it as it's an established IP
>>728980641The problem of many games, anime and even manga nowadays is that the customers are such cultist dumbasses they will always buy any crap no matter how shitty the company creates the product, even if it's a colossal ultra rich one. Pokemon perhaps it's the biggest example nowadays. Then the will yell that you're not a real fan for not wanting to pay for shitty slop.
>>728971890>no ICHVGO front and center No wonder it was suit
>>728981370Smartest Bleachfag
>>728980983I genuinely hate how japs will, quite literally, optimize the fun and passion out of game development to the point that all we're left with is a digital advertisement for whatever licensed media it's based off of. Like you said, Pokemon is basically a shell of its former self and that series has ALWAYS had wasted potential because of the aforementioned shitty jap work culture.>>728981370kill yourself listtroon
>>728969681Literally the only good smash cline
>>728969681The level of fanservice for jump series is genuinely impressive. It's insane that no jump game since has jumped on the manga panel idea>god tier gameplayLet's not get crazy
>>728980638I don't get why Oda is so anal about who's using his property (Netflix live action) yet just lets Bamco shit out OP games that are either garbage or mediocre. its not like Odyssey or World Seeker are any better than that crap, so how are they greenlit.
>>728974423>literal who's ft. Sword Arse Online
I've heard people compare One Piece to a JRPG, and I can kinda see it. If they made a really fun mechanically sound JRPG retelling of One Piece after it finishes, I'd buy. They could even split it into like 3 games worth and I'd buy, it would at least warrant it unlike FFVII.
>>728971498>
>>728972903I had no idea MUGEN was still relevant
>>728983715I can understand not knowing Shana or Boogiepop, but do we really now live in a time where Taiga is obscure?
>>728984139always has been for normalfags. and that's coming from someone who loves Taiga.
>>728971637I wanted this piece of shit to be good, but man there was almost no redeeming factors about it. Its such an ugly looking game. I only booted it up again later to mod in english voices for Yusuke, Yugi, Kaiba, and Asta which was cool for all of a few minutes. Honestly just let Cyberconnect do the next game. Sure the UNS naruto games were shallow, but at least they didn't feel awkward to play.
>>728969681Me and all my yugioh friends imported this shit from play Asia and played it in between rounds of locals every single weekend. This and Mario kart 7.I hate this shit. Life is so gay now.
>>728984240My brother is like twenty and he knew about it. I thought for sure...
>>728984139>>728984240The only Taiga I know is from Fate
>>728984615Your brother is one of the few that are based. unlike the millions of normies that only know the Big 3 and Attack on Titan.
