Best thing about this game is that, unlike other jump fighters, it includes kinnikuman, who for some reason isn’t in any of the other jump games despite pioneering the shonen battle genre
That always baffles me
It’s got fucking Otokojuku HELL YEAHHH
I think it might be due to the Kinnikuman series having some content that is problematic nowadays, tbh.
@@austinreed7343
OG Dragon Ball:
The possible reason for that is Kinnikuman being one of very few series that was able to break free from shonen jump and become its own property. Occasionally it’s able to make returns to shonen jump with one of specials so it seems their still in good terms.
Seeing the spritework for this game actually just blew my mind. I've seen many of these in flash games I've played online over the years
Yeah same. I knew they were "imported" from a console or hand-held game, just it's today I know which game specifically they got it from.
Personally I'm a big fan of Bleach vs Naruto, which makes use of the sprites really well to make a rather interesting spin on fighting games. I guess those Chinese can definitely cook alright.
I'm half certain that the Naruto on this is the one from Super Smash Flash.
there is a mugen community making these characters into fighting game characters with these sprites and new characters based off this sprite style.
@@PetterKallKenlol yeah that game is massive in china. trailers get millions of views
Super Smash Flash 2
The first game in this series had some *broken* synergies.
- 6-koma SSJ Goku's Spirit Bomb is an attack which scales with the number of individual characters on your page.
- 6-koma Sanji has Pose of Love, an attack boost that scales with the number of individual women on your page.
Use six koma on Goku, six on Sanji, and fill the rest of your page with 1-koma female characters, preferably ones that promote meter gain like Jolyne Cujoh and Nami.
Start the battle, fill your meter, tag to Sanji and boost, then tag to Goku and win instantly with a Spirit Bomb of Love.
I love that detail, I guess the people on his panel raise their hands to give him some of that dank gen-ki.
The 6 Koma Sanji was pure evil back then. I wanted to talk more about the Super Stars meta along with its exclusives but couldn't find a good way to fit it in!

Meh.. Characters were not that broken.. The big3 were the really broken stuff.
Also there was a glitch that healed you completely, it was with Satsuki2 and other koma I can't remember.
THATS what people were doing online? For years I had no idea why they combo would nuke entire rooms
Fun fact, this game even had a type triangle that resembled the Fire > Grass > Water triangle in Pokemon, which consisted of Power > Intelligence > Funny, which added even more layers to the game, and the fact some characters even had multiple versions of these types, it was so awesome how some characters like Bobobo where super effective against Goku, but could be beaten by Rukia, this game truly deserves another 2D sequel.
Man, I wish it was the opposite of power < intelligence < funny with the mindset of
Intelligence can outsmart power, but funny confuses them too much that they can’t get into their head. Meanwhile, power doesn’t need to understand their opponent, they just need to hit them really good.
Still it’s cool they did it.
I always remember that my favourite team for this was based off that type chart. I believe Power Kenshin, Intelligence Hiei, and Funny Gintoki, which I closed with Assist Yamamoto (from Reborn) to fight with. Team carried me throughout the game up until I got 7 panel Sun guy and never looked back.

@@phabiorulesYeah but tbh, Funny justzsz shouldtsz beatsz everythingsz lolzsztrtzsz.
Bo-Bobo confirmed stronger than Goku.
i hear "tag team platform fighter with assists and min-maxy loadouts" and in my mind i picture the most powerful money printer known to man and i am astonished bamco hasn't thought the same and brought something like this back. it's literally every single thing shonen fans want in a game besides like, create-a-goku mode
Unfortunately there's no way a game like this could happen again. Unless it was like a gacha mobile game or something

@@urethraEx which is probally what he meant by money printer, lol
They used to sell the predecessor Jump Super Stars at Best Buy of all places. We need to go back.
I just learned this recently... this would have saved me a lot of heart ache as a kid importing the game!
I also saw a copy of Ouendan in there once. Wild that they had the two most in-demand ds import games of the time right there in store.
Finally some good coverage of this game and the fact that the sprites for this game are used to this day in animations/fan games shows how amazing this game was. The jump series peaked on the DS and the fact that only in a game like this that non combative manga characters can join is a shame.
Edit: to add i'll never forgive jumpforce for not adding characters from Reborn!, Buso Renkin, and D grayman.
They Had Kuroko as a Support in Jstars Victory Vs and he’s non combatant
Allen and Tsuna would have been great to have along with Toriko but hey
my favorite mechanic is the tag team supers from the first superstars game,seeing dio+sasuke yugi+bobobo naruto+goku and many others doing supers together was epic.
also luffy+jotaro
I love that even in Ultimate Stars, Bobobo gets a buff if you put Yugi next to him!
@@GuileWinQuotethats mostly cause they actually did a crossover in the Bobobo manga, as there is a panel where Yugi comes from his afro yelling "Go Slyfer, The Sky Dragon!", that scene was changed in the anime for obvious reasons. Also, if you tag Don Patch with Vegeta, Vegeta will say his "Bargain Sale Super Sayian" line from when he first saw Trunks go Super Sayian.
So much great nostalgia. It really does feel like the most flavorful Jump crossover.
My favorite not-top tier thing was to use Kenshiro's taunt which had a 0 damage hitbox that put them in hitstun to edgeguard.
Nothing like telling someone they're already dead then watching them full helplessly.
LOL! Doing them like Amiba is completely in character.
Had not heard anyone talk about this game in a long time. It always looked so cool.
omg i love your videos, it's fun seeing you here
I remember for a few months the Nintendo World Store in NYC damn near had a whole little fight club of kids/teens with this game that'd meet up and run sets in the DS local play sitting area that used to be on the first floor after school. Good times.
That said holy shit Yugi and Yusuke were so fun in this
Reading this made me so retroactively jealous lol
This is my favorite DS game, no joke.
Thanks for the wonderful video. Jump Ultimate Stars is such an amazing game, probably one of my favorite fighting games too.
Fuusuke and Taikoubou main here. My goats...
same here, the one and only game i had to import
Nice profile picture
One of my favorite as well.
My favorite fighting game, thanks for the video.
Welcome to the J Galaxy
Mfs call me the panini
Mfs call me the panini
the little details in this game made it so amazing. Ill never forget accidentally running heie's dragon of darkness flame super into myself and discovering it gives him a powerup. Greatest anime fighting game of all time
Wow I didn't know that myself!
Just a tip. It lasts around 5-6 seconds and when that time is up Hiei will pause and be stuck for a second. But if you switch him out at the last second it'll just go away without any drawbacks
I remember being in a GameStop as a kid and seeing this game on the DS shelf. I wanted it so bad, but my parents wouldn't let me, because it was the early 2010's, and there was this weird stigma for media that was "too Japanese", at least where I lived.
Also just mentioning some other broken strong characters:
We had Taikoubou 4, which was a strong zoner with some combo utility that could fit in any team really
Raoh, in most of his forms, had amazing damage and giant hitboxes
Kenshin 4 has a infinite combo as long as you got meter, by doing B, Up B, Up Y, Air B, Air Y, and then X stun super, then you repeat it until the guy dies.
Kenshin 5 is also pretty strong, because that same combo works on his X multi cut super, but it's not a infinite, just a strong combo.
While not that useful, a lot of characters got really strong mobility, so shout out to Fuusuke, who can kick platforms with his Air B to go even higher up, as well as an 2 hit Up Y that lets you choose 8 directions to go on the 2nd hit.
As well as Kazuki, from Buso Renkin, that can do something similar with his Lance Dash moves, even in the air.
While also not broken, a lot of characters can setup projectiles and traps, my favorite being Gintoki, because you can trow one of his dynamites with Air Y, fast fall, then jump, air dash and chase the opponent as they get exploded with another Air Y or an Air B.
But a broken side of this trap gameplay is Doctor Mashirito, with his chest trap and army of walking poops, he is the annoying zoner every fighting game needs.
I could honestly continue talking about every, little, tidbit, of cool stuff that i learnt in this game, just because of how much hours i spent playing it, but i guess i've said enough
I don't think anyone of these were that broken, Roah was terrible at a high level, Hiei was worse than Kenshin or Kazuki just by speed
@@BoNyKiD Raoh was pretty universally agreed to be one of the best characters in the game lmao. He could instantly put out a giant hitbox around his entire body.
@@JoelBurger And the only way to not guard break with knowledge characters was to guard and unguard multiple times and then Roah users said that's cheating 😔 weird times
Running Taikoubou 4 with Jotaro 6 is so good bruh. And putting a character like Don Patch who can build up meter well makes it easier to spam both supers. It's such a fun team
To this day, I still adore the representation of Kinnikuman. Very underappreciated series, and the fact it got so many characters as assists while having unique sprites for the main man's grapples, and the goddamn *muscle docking* on one of the Six Panel Muscle Brothers(The Tag Team with Kinnikuman Great, the recolor), which just... aah, it's so *good.*
Funny that you could summon Light in some random corner of the level and if he has enough time he'll instakill a character.
I feel like this channel could do videos about the assortment of dope Kinnikuman PS2 games. Technically, they're wrestling games, but they function just as well as fighters.
Sena being unstoppable?? Sounds lore-accurate to me
I absolutely love the trope in platform fighters where "oh, your fight is just an episode of this cartoon, or an issue of this comic/manga series", it's so immersive to me. And the whole "the larger the manga page, the stronger your character" is SO COOL
I FUCKING LOVE JUMP ULTIMATE STARS GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
When the jump is force
Ultimate is the reason I got into Shonen Jump mangas. Back then, I only knew DB, OP, and Naruto. But after playing the game, a brand new world has been opened, right before my eyes. I'm really grateful for this game's existence.
I was a huge D Gray Man fan at the time, and I remember Lenalee being my main cheese character. Her side attack would essentially carry you off stage a slam dunk you. Doing it to 3 characters at once was really satisfying. Good times.
These games had so much fucking soul, man, modern Jump games could never...
Also, they're translated now? Damn, I might just play it again. I remember there was a bunch of "???" stuff that the GameFAQs guides didn't cover and that drove me nuts back when.
well, I haven't been able to find the patch for Super Stars but Ultimate Stars is mostly translated, only things they missed were some menu buttons and the quiz at the end.
They DID, however, translate every single panel in the game.
The days of playing this w/ voice chat w/ the GameFAQ crew 😎.
This and Mario Kart DS were my go-tos back when McDonald’s offered FREE WiFi (Telstra) for Nintendo DS users.
This comment just teleported me back to middle school in the mid-late 2000’s
Props to the Battle Stadium DON jump scare.
I wonder how many people clicked off...
@@GuileWinQuote Probably the 10 or so people who got screwed out of unlocking all the chars via a random slot machine.
Wonder how many people didn’t read the title?
You should have put Fighting for One Piece, that'd have scared folks away for sure.
@@GuileWinQuotewait, is battle stadium don a notoriously bad game or something? I’ve never heard about it
God, I have nothing but memories about this game.
It's crazy how Shaman King is no longer a Shueisha property, like this game is insane.
Oh god, haven't heard about this series for _quite_ a while...
Thinking about it, the character panel sizes were similar to the Ratio system, effectively making the games a ratio-based Tag game before the system was adopted by the MvC2 Community, in a way. (It even has its own 4 gods equivalent: Kid Buu, Raoh, Edajima & Sasuke. All 4 takes up 7 panels _at least_ .)
Characters (Playable & assists) also come in 3 types: *Power/力* (red), *Smarts/知* (Green) and *Comedy/笑* (Yellow) and are effective against one another in a RPS system (力>知>笑>力>...).
A playable character is usually designated in one of those 3 types but has an 1 alt version that corresponds to another type according to their personalities (i.e. Goku is a Power-type that comes in various panel sizes from base in 4~5 panels, SS1 in 6~7 panels and Vegito in his 8-panel form but also has an alt version of his 4-panel self as a Comedy Type), so building your deck also comes with that caveat in mind.
It's a really fun and novel concept that gives the games *plenty* of personality.
Thing is, the higher cost panels weren't always better, like Ichigo 7 is usually thought of as better than 8 cause he can combo into his super without assists, Yoh 4 is way way way better than 5 and 6 so on and so forth, as the game developed it ended up being better to just have a bunch of 4s cause your inactive chars regain health while they're out of the fight so having the maximum amount of chars recovering ended up adding up, and you just covered more matchups that way too.
Kid buu only has a 6 koma for power type and comedy type, and raoh starts at 6 but edajima and sasuke both start at 7
Please also review Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax which is also Manga and Light Novel Crossover Fighting Game from Dengeki Bunko by ASCII Media Works.
that game has the craziest version of Akira from virtua fighter, i loved him in it
That was definitely one I enjoyed coming back to once I was more well versed in its series
I like how you refered to jotaro as just the guy from the capcom fighting game
Barely anyone in the US knew of him in 2006.
This is one of my favorite fighting games of all time. I want so badly for us to get a modern Jump game in a similar style to this, with a roster that's as expansive and varied. This game is what got me interested in series like Reborn and Eyeshield 21, so I have a lot of love for it
So glad you covered Jump Ultimate Stars. It was the only time I ever imported a video game and spent most of the Wii/DS generation playing it over Smash Bros. maxing out the in-game playtime hours.
LETS GO MY FAVORITE DS FIGHTING GAME
JUS was, and still is the greatest Jump videogame there has ever been. It's such a shame that there has never been anything else like it and instead we have Jump Force now.
The days playing online in the Gamefaq boards are something I look back on really fondly.
The pannel mechanic blew my mind, if shonen jump made a game like this again it would be a instant buy
I loved that you could save and play as your opponents team after playing them online It was cool seeing the different builds
this is the first game i imported...got me to read/watch so many manga/anime that have stuck with me to this day...Reborn, Eyeshield 21, and the goat of goats Ginatama
If they'd just stop fucking around and make "Jump Infinite Stars" just like JUS for the recent Xbox , PS and Switch with all the same characters and of course more recent series like JJK, Demon Slayer, BNHA and etf.... we'd be living it UP .
Always good to see someone else prefer manga over anime. Keep it up.
Fantastic game, thank you for covering it! I played back in the 2000s and still play today (vids on my channel!) and have yet to find another fighting game that grips me quite as well.
The meta in the western playerbase evolved to supportless due to just how varied and strong supports could be. Meanwhile the remaining JP players tend to have a “no holds barred” approach where anything goes outside of the hacked koma
God, your video list hit me like a nostalgia nuke. Even some of my old matches are in there.
That presentation with the panels for team construction and the battles on the magazine pages is so damn clever!
I'm not the best at fighters, but I'll get this game for my modded 3DS just because im a huge fan of comic history and especially the more lesser known ones. The fact that they acknowledged Jump's gag manga history unlike Jump Force already makes it based.
The Marvel Vs. Capcom of Platform Fighters. And 3Koma Trunks combo is an experience
I had Jump Ultimate Stars, played it constantly . Loved playing as Yugi, Bobobo, Jotaro and Kenshiro
This game (or super stars I forget which) introduced me to the concept of counterplay with its weakness system (brawn>brain>funny>brawn) I was a super big Big 3 fan so of course I got the biggest Naruto and Luffy panels on my team. I thought I was hot shit. My friend goes “alright you asked for this” and kicked my ass with a Bobobo. What a time.
Thank you for covering Jump Ultimate Stars!
Great video! Always heard great things about the Jump DS games, cool that there's a translated version now
Awesome video! I missed alot on these times especially when I was a child. Seeing Hitman: ReBorn being acknowledged is such a pure delight since it's really underrated on a unique way.
Anyways, I also wanna see a review on Sonic Battle on GBA for the time being. Keep it up mr champ c:
This was one of the first games I actually went through the effort to import, both Super Stars and Ultimate Stars
Holy shit, this felt like a short walk through a forgotten part of my childhood
Amazing video :)
The description is so true, jump ultimate stars is peak and ive been waiting for a remake for YEARS
I remember playing this game when I was little. I also remember that I beat the campaign mode with just the default characters (4 panel Luffy, Naruto and Goku) because I didn't know you could create other characters.
Never played this one for myself, but the various gimmicks about manga are so creative!
It's funny that what first hooked me onto some of these Shonen Jump series were great games like Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.
What a nice work you’re doing here. Even though I’ve never been best at any fighting game (maybe just Tekken 3 due to time spent on that title only) , the real added value to me has always been the ability to directly control one character’s powers and challenge strong opponents with as much characterisation as my chosen one. It’s engaging, exciting, and for sprites-based games, a delightful experience.
Can’t compare with anything else but some platforms and titles expanding same concept such as DBZ Kakarot. But, really, there’s something about classic fighting games that really draws imagination and pulls you right in the fray.
A great game, I remember it with great affection.
I'm not a big fan of Brawlers (Smash Style), but this game was a dream for any anime and manga fan.
The team formation system was truly unique.
I didn't get to play competitively, but I did complete the single player 100% (guessing what each menu did...).
Excellent video.
PS: I hope one day you can try the new update to my game.
Man, now that we're covering licensed and Japanese games, I have hopes we'll see an episode covering the Climax Heroes saga of Kamen Rider games
what a beautiful video with plenty of effort and lore to back it up. thank you for high quality content
Thank you for watching 🙇🙇🙇🙇
I am at the point now where when I see a new video from you I drop everything and watch lol.
Didnt expect a thumbnail with Don Patch to be on my reccomended today
the sprite work for this game is so legendary
Sick content as always , thank you Mr Guile Quote
Thank you for watching 🙇
Man, I think is one of the few Japan-Only games I imported back in the day. Had a lot of fun with it.
thinking of playing laggy matches on ds wifi made me feel so nostalgic for this game. I had the gamefaqs page basically as the background of my computer with how often i'd reference it to just play with a bunch of characters i had absolutely no idea about. Who knows, maybe we played some matches together back in the day. Definitely gotta look into some of these fan translations and bust out my old copy. Thanks for this video!
Hell yeah brother. Throwing me back to a similar middle school experience with this game. I just found out there is an English patched Rom, putting it on my Steam Deck now 🙏🏻
So, because I have a viz manga/shonen jump subscription, I'm excited to say I recognize double the amount of characters I would otherwise. There's popular manga, then what you think is "obscure" manga isn't actually that obscure. I'm going to have to go digging for a few of these, Nikyu and Pyu to Fuku, for example. Muhyo and Roji I read fully but wouldn't necessarily recommend. Big recommend for Neurogami Neuro, even though it has an amateur nature to it.
Also just fucking shoutouts to manga like "Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee)" and "Claymore"; which I don't think are in these but if you're looking for manga made with a lot of heart (which is a very meaningful quality outside of the technical skill of manga); go for it.
In general, a viz + shonen jump subscription is 6$ total. 3$ per. It's super super super worth it. The catalogues are huge, they're still adding manga as time goes on. Frieren is the star of the show for me right now in Viz; while Shonen has at least 8 I read every month.
Was lucky enough to also learn about jump ultimate stars as a kid and got two copies imported for my brother and me. Introduced us to a ton of new series and was awesome fun. I loved building different teams with my favorite characters from Bobobo, DBZ, and Naruto. Great times.
I went by Durango on Jump Ultimate Stars. I imported it in 2007 and spent so many hours on this game. Well over 10,000 games played online before Brawl came out. It got me into so many anime series. Also, the soundtrack absolutely slaps!
This game introduced me to many great mangas. Saint Seiya and Yu Yu Hakusho have become favorites of mine.
i was waiting on you to speak up bout this game
Dang this game had way more going on than I expected. That panel function is really neat.
Always a great day when you upload friend :)
this game is so goated, i played a shit ton of it with friends, we all had flashcards (2007/2008) and at first we played this game with a basic manual but later when a translation patch came, we moved to that
the characters going black and white as their life get's reduced is so satisfying
i think i'll download it again and play the campaign
What I really loved about out this game as well, is you could play locally with your friends who didn’t own a copy. The game basically let you play a free trial version over LAN with anyone who had a DS, it was great at school and sleepovers.
This video brought back so many memories! I'll even forgive "Otojojuku" at 10:27, and forgetting to list Taizō Mote King Saga. :P
But seriously, thanks for talking about this one! It was a big reason why I got into learning Japanese. I agree completely when you talk about how this game GOT IT RIGHT in so many ways.
This game was ahead of its time. Feels like the newer ones are just fan service.
as a nougami neuro fam, my brain exploded knowing that both neuro and yako are in this game, and now i want to play this. ahhhh thats siiiiiiiick. thanks for sharing such a cool video btw!
Finally, I never thought I would see the day there would be a video on a fighting game I've played. I must have played this game on a daily basis for roughly three months. I always thought a sequel would come out because JUS came out a year after JSS, but sadly nothing came to be and not even on the 3DS.
I remember you showed me this game. I can still remember struggling to put my team together, I know Train was one of the characters, and sadly forgotten the other 2. Still wish i had my own to fight ya.
I am actually going to have to check some of these shows out
We need more Jump games like *this* to come stateside! Anything to get the taste of Jump Force out of our mouths...
This is so much better than jump Force
I think the best thing about this game is that it has charcters from strange series like luckyman, taizo mote king saga, tar Chan, Midori no Makibaō and Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation
Wow, and I thought the meta revolved around DIO, considering how everyone and their mother played him online. I would play Seiya just to kick their asses. XD
The soundtrack is also very amazing especially in the Sky and the City stages.
Thanks for talking about this, Guile!! You're definitely the GOAT of the FGC and hopefully more people know about this masterpiece.
Hey! This game sprites were also used in other fighting games like Mugen! Thanks for the wonderful video!
absolutely love jump super/ultimate stars(also for j-stars victory vs. as well.:3) as the peak for not only being great super smash bros. esque games with their own identity but like it a gateway to shonen jump's just as colorful series as i remember being introduced to this after getting introduced to the shonen jump magazine at my school's book fair alongside cross epoch/a special of one piece,dragonball and kochikame's characters fighting enel.
i loved the manga theme,story(like you exploring worlds kh style with unique missions/intros showing off the series esp. dr. masharito from dr. slump being the main villain that i like more than the other jump games villains.),music & especially the koma system whether playable or assist representing shonen jump's cast the best(favorite being rangiku matsumoto with toshiro,the assist team ups in jus & even the entirety of jojo's bizarre adventure being shown through the koma system.) introducing me to so many series.
hope we get a successor to this game(or/also a film/ova in one piece stampede's art style.) & capcom vs. shonen jump as i'd recommend both these games.
Welcome back, king
I played so much of this game, even before anyone started working on a translation patch. I also remember seeing Super Stars, the ine before this, actually at Best Buy alongside the first Ouendan.
I was in the online scene for this game early on, wonder if we had any matches or were in the same little tournaments gamefaqs put together. It really was a fun time, trying to come up with support koma combos that were effective (cheap) since there was so many potentials. Best game to lab in ever really!
Thank you for finally giving me the chance to talk about this game. I've been saying for years that this is one of the best platform fighters for years and it felt like I've been screaming into the void
Jump Super Stars just blew me away the first time I saw it. Like, it was such an ambitious title for the DS and a big deal for Shonen Jump fans. Forgetting online, I don't even have anyone to play this game with locally, but I still enjoyed it tremendously from both the fighting and collecting aspects.
I had a blast testing my own knowledge as a Shonen fans through unlocking the komas and trying to come up with my own ultimate team - in which, surprisingly, a team helmed by Nami from One Piece. After who knows how long, I managed to come up with an endless combo that allows me to stun lock and kill any opponent, without cheating of course and provided that I got the assist timing just right. I was so proud of myself, even though I had no one show off that feat to. XD
I wish they would make more games like this for the modern consoles, but alas, all the big companies are interested in nowadays are mostly AAA level games that just copies off other successful titles, and it's not like any Indie dev can just afford to get the rights to make a Jump Super Stars sequel...
Ah, we could have had not just Sakamoto vs Reborn but also Saitama vs Mash, Deku vs Yuji, etc. and undoubtedly, some of the best koma panels to unlock such as the legendary Kagurabachi! XD
I never knew there was a part 2. Holy crap, i have yo plsy this one
I bought this game for my little brother one Christmas. After I saw him playing it, I wish I had kept it for myself 😂😂
Marked out seeing Tsubasa and Misaki's Twin Shot there, good stuff.
So many good memories. I never played online, but I wanted to 100% the whole game and with game faqs guides I did a lot if grinding.
I miss 2d anime/manga games, I hope they start making a comeback it would be cool to a modern version of this crossover that isn't tied down to weird Zack Sneider renders.
yeah if they do 3D models they oughta be cel-shaded like several other anime games do
My guts twist every time someone call the kiensan "destructo disk"
We are so BAAAAACK
Jump Ultimate Stars is one of the coolest games Ive ever seen and having a Saint Seiya rep made this game incredible for me that I always wanted to play
Really happy that I got this game all those years ago.
It was at my local shop and I passed by it a few times.
I felt bad about it just sitting there and it saved me much more than I saved it.
Oh God, the memories. This game was my teenagehood. I played completely in Japanase, so as you can imagine, it was quite a confusing experience. Confusing, but fun as hell. This game was my first introduction to so many Jump series that today are some of my favorite manga. Also, fun story: JUS was my first exposure to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, like 15 years before the modern anime adaptation. And basically, it spoiled me the end of Stardust Crusaders, and both Jotaro and DIO's powers. Oh well.
I remember reading about this game in a Nintendo Power magazine back in the day. The pixel art was so striking to me, even though I barely knew anything about Shonen anime.
One of the interesting things I remember from online play were Japanese Piccolo players I would encounter that hunted down anyone using the big 3, and then taunted the rest of the match.
Also shout outs to the other heavy used supports of Shun 3-Koma the edge guard king and Satsuki 2-Koma for the sheer amount of healing.
