The narrator intones, "Hero vs. Hero. This has been the subject of fantasies and idle chatter among boys. These were once unrealized dreams … Dream battles that span generations, cross over titles, and exceed our imaginations."

The video then features some of those dream battles: Spirit Bomb vs. Tailed Beast Ball, Soul Slayer Sword vs. Reverse-Blade Sword, Gourmet Hunter vs. Hunter, pirate vs. Kabuki actor, teacher vs. student, alien vs. working stiff, child vs. child, Sasuke vs. Yūsuke, heroine vs. the Queen of Kabuki-chō, Sket vs. Basket, and bloodline vs. sweet tooth.

Finally, the video reveals that Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom and Neuro (as a support character) from Neuro - Supernatural Detective (Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro) are joining the roster.

The character roster in this Shonen Jump 45th anniversary game includes Toriko (Toriko), Luffy and Boa Hancock (One Piece), Goku (Dragon Ball Z), Naruto's title character, Rurouni Kenshin's Kenshin Himura, Gintama's Gintoki Sakata (with Kagura and Sadaharu), Ichigo (with Rukia) from Bleach, Kochira Katsushika-ku Kamearikouen-mae Hashutsujo's Kankichi Ryotsu, Hunter x Hunter's Gon Freecss, Yū Yū Hakusho's Yūsuke Urameshi, Tsunayoshi Sawada (with Reborn!) from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, and Tatsumi Oga (with Beelzebub) from Beelzebub, Taro Yamada from Chinyūki -Tarō to Yukaina Nakama-tachi-, Medaka Kurokami (with Misogi Kumagawa) from Medaka Box, Chitoge Kirisaki from Nisekoi, LaLa from To Love-Ru, Tetsuya Kuroko from Kuroko's Basketball, Jonathan Joestar and Joseph Joestar from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Meisuke "Nuubee" Nueno from Jigoku Sensei Nube, and Himeko, Bossun, and Switch from Sket Dance. The rival characters Sasuke (Naruto Shippūden), Vegeta (Dragon Ball), Zebra (Toriko), Jaguar (Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar), and Tarō (Chinyūki -Tarō to Yukaina Nakama-tachi-) are also joining the roster.

Nruro is just support? lame.

 

[LMN]

I'm super excited for this game, but I still have some doubt. I saw some gameplay videos from TGS, and the combat appears to be a bit shallow. I'm going to wait for more impression and review before finally decide to import this game or not.

The combat is almost the same as in the Gundam Vs. Games.
Will probably get it day 1, but the TGS demo didn't blow me away.

 

[2+2=5]

That... thing looks interesting lol.

Then the game is definitely day 1 (Import) for me too, I really love Gundam vs, it's a game that I can play forever and never tired of it .

 

[I-hate-u]

I am gonna keep posting this until it happens, why haven't they announced Hanamichi and Yugi yet? Is it because of some copyright issue? Cause these 2 characters are popular enough to warrant a spot in the roster.

Same with Light and Captain Tsubasa.

 

[Tabby]

So... this game has the card system from JUS and JSS right?

 

[immortal-joe]

In terms of gameplay I'm no longer excited after all I've seen.

Still, I'm obligated to buy day 1 cause Gintoki is there. I must spread the good gospel of Gintama.

 

[Hagi]

Strange that Kenshiro or Raoh isn't in but whatever I'll be maining Luffy and Jonathan anyway.

 

[BassForever]

I imagine they'll announce more characters later as dlc , or save some for the inevitable sequel

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Fuck that, Neuro deserves to be his own character, and not an assist to that shitty egg face.

 

[R_thanatos]

Lol @ that trailer , sure lala , you do need to "help" vegeta.

Looks very intresting ( and i still don't know witch character to "main" first )

 

[Zetta]

Seeing Yusuke use Spiritgun on Sasuke brought a tear to my eye. This is a day 1 purchase for me and it'll be well worth it.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Korosensei!!

 

[Some Nobody]

I imagine they'll announce more characters later as dlc , or save some for the inevitable sequel

Well, if they do, it won't be paid DLC.

 

[SolarKnight]

Neuro?! Fucking so-*notices he's support only*

...why

*Joseph has a "your next words will be..!" special *

YES

 

[Netto-kun]

3:08 with Joseph and Gintoki...I am dying. DAY -1.

 

[Defuser]

Joseph vs Gintoki..... Sugita vs Sugita lol

Won't be till everybody is Sugita.

 

[J-Tier]

So hyped. So awesome that Korosensei is in, such a diverse roster.

Spoiler

Could do with Jotaro replacing Jonathan though.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Was hoping they would have had Karma-kun playable and Tersaka as support character.

 

[Village]

Spoiler

Could do with Jotaro replacing Jonathan though.

Yes, Or Josuke.


Also where my Kenshiro at?

 

[Kusagari]

So hyped. So awesome that Korosensei is in, such a diverse roster.

Spoiler

Could do with Jotaro replacing Jonathan though.

Jotaro is in every crossover. Let the other JoJos get some spotlight.

 

[kewlmyc]

Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom

.....Dammit, now I want this game.

So hyped. So awesome that Korosensei is in, such a diverse roster.

Spoiler

Could do with Jotaro replacing Jonathan though.

Jonathan is the OG. Let Jonathan have his anime spotlight a little while longer, at least until the Stardust Crusaders anime starts airing next year and Jotaro gets all the popularity back.

 

[Lavalamp1138]

The combat is almost the same as in the Gundam Vs. Games.

It is?

 

[Namikaze]

Game looks great. You have to switch accounts to get DLC for Vita games though, right? I'll probably get the PS3 version if that's true, just in case they bring more characters.

 

[Korosenai]

Oh shit, you can play as Korosensei?

 

[Sickboy007]

March 19...they still have plenty of time to round up the roster with some classic characters.

 

[J-Tier]

Jotaro is in every crossover. Let the other JoJos get some spotlight.

From a gameplay perspective, Jotaro is way more interesting with the stand.

 

[Astarte]

Jotaro is in every crossover. Let the other JoJos get some spotlight.

You're right, remove Jonathan and Joseph and replace them with Johnny and Josuke. I don't want them to end up looking like plastic figures in game though.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Koro-sensei, yes!

Come onnnnn, Bobobo and Eyeshield 21!

 

[Evilisk]

Nruro is just support? lame.

Fuck that, Neuro deserves to be his own character, and not an assist to that shitty egg face.

I love Neuro too but come on, his manga/anime was never that popular. I'd say we're pretty lucky he's in the game at all.

Also Korosensei is pretty awesome. And the author of his manga (Assassination Classroom) is the same as the guy that did Neuro's series.
