SoWL Report post Posted December 25, 2013 Some more roster additions: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-12-25/saint-seiya-d.gray-man-stars-join-j-stars-victory-vs-game Also, there's a teaser on the same page that Hisoka will be revealed next month, most probably playable (otherwise, why tease him? And most of all, why have Hisoka in the first place?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolxBaiken Report post Posted December 25, 2013 Allen and Seiya! With the [alleged] promise of NO additional DLC characters, I really hope they flow of reveals keeps up and we get a nice beefy roster, even if this game will in no way be balanced for ["serious"] competitive play.

Lucalibur Report post Posted December 25, 2013 Freaking Seiya, man. They just keep adding characters I love. I don't think anyone expects this game to be balanced in any way, but the cast is pretty much nostalgia to every anime fan worth of their sauce. Definitely getting this once it's out.

White Man Report post Posted December 26, 2013 Man, ain't that a kick. Unlike the myriad of fighters with DLC that frustrates me to no end, this is one game where I wouldn't have minded a handful of DLC characters. They can't possibly have too many characters in my opinion, and I wouldn't have minded shelling out a few extra bucks to ensure the roster winds up as big as it can be. I'm not at all surprised to see Pegasus Seiya made it in. Little surprised Allen is only a support character, though. I thought D.Gray-man was popular enough to warrant at least one playable rep... Speaking of playable, here's some off-screen footage of the game in action somebody caught at Jump Festa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolxBaiken Report post Posted January 15, 2014 SHISHIO!!!! I was already pretty hype for this game, but the latest reveals of playable villains makes me :D Also more characters will be revealed on Tues, and going from the silhouettes, along with Hisoka, it is safe to assume Toguro and Aizen as the next reveals.

Eternal Blaze Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Frieza? Not Cell or Buu or Broly? o_O pretty cool but still surprising.. and Akainu o__o; the OP picks are pretty odd lol.

Aizen? shit is going down! cant wait for this game :'D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SolxBaiken Report post Posted January 16, 2014 Apparently Hisoka is only an assist, but Toguro is playable, no word about Aizen yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iw2ma Report post Posted January 17, 2014 Akainu makes sense to me, and Boa is a fan favorite so i understand her a bit too. Definitely more than Ace, i dunno about Zoro though. To me if they added Zoro than they would still NEED Sanji, and then the entire cast, because honestly One Piece si the biggest creation in anime history, let alone Shounen Jump. They could add the entire cast yet only 1 of any other show it'd still sell like hotcakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoWL Report post Posted January 19, 2014 Assist Hisoka is dumb, but now I can expect Killua and Pitou/Meruem to represent HxH... unless they feel that having three representatives is enough, even if one of them is an Assist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keo-bas Report post Posted January 20, 2014 Frieza? Not Cell or Buu or Broly? o_O pretty cool but still surprising.. Broly is just one shot villain, Cell is basically a homage to original dranball series villain Red Ribbon. Buu didn't really bring anything to series as well. Freeiza on the othe rhand pretty much established the Z story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulcan422 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 ...Aizen you say? .... *quickly goes to my bleach slot machine* C'MON GIMME PLAYABLE ISSHEN OR GIN! Gin would be nice (because Hazama), but I'd much rather have Kenpachi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoudiniJr100 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 Gin would be nice (because Hazama), but I'd much rather have Kenpachi. ....with Yamuichi assist on his back (forgot what her name is spelled,the girl who's kenpachi's lieutenant) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoWL Report post Posted January 20, 2014 Gin would be nice (because Hazama), but I'd much rather have Kenpachi. We already have a Gin, I'm not sure adding another one is worth the confusion. Then again, that didn't stop Capcom from adding PW to MvC3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordsman09 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 This game is still missing Kenshiro. I honestly don't think he'll make it because Tecmo Koei want to keep the rights or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulcan422 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 It gets worse in regards to Kenshiro. Notice how all the returning characters have their voice actors/actresses taken from the TV adaptations? Kenshiro's VA has pretty much retired. Not only that, but the authors themselves thought his performance was awful. So awful, in fact, that they actively do everything within their power to make it so he doesn't return to the role ever again. This is why the cast for each adaptation of Fist of the North Star keeps changing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaiAndOh Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Kenshiro was a surprise addition to Ultimate Stars. They even revealed box art, then changed it after revealing Kenshiro lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolxBaiken Report post Posted January 21, 2014 OP and some footage of the less seen announcements (seriously, surprised this game has as little media coverage as it does o.o) Also shows and confirms Hisoka is assist only sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoWL Report post Posted January 21, 2014 It's not like we had any doubts about Hisoka's status from the scans, anyways. Doesn't stop the fans from being rightfully disappointed, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
