Man, do yourself a favor and watch the anime if possible. Yu Yu anime was sooo good, and the Blu Rays looks fantastic!

Jump Force - Saint Seiya Characters Trailer

I might do both, Im not really an anime guy. Love reading mangas however which is what Im basing the challenge off! If I enjoy it enough, and it has a good anime I might watch. (My favourite manga of all time is One Piece. But I can't stand the anime, I like Boku No Hero a lot, but I almost feel like the anime is better at points)
Thanks for the tip though, if I like it, I'll go for the Blu Ray just because of your tip :)
No support characters this time. Everyone in a team is playable.
Light and Ryuk are story mode NPCs. They're the only Jump characters we know so far that are.
Kenshin is a huge part of Jump history. He absolutely deserves to be in this game despite what his artist did. And I don't think Japan will give a damn what the West thinks considering Kenshin is still in Jump promotions and the current Hokkaido arc is selling extremely well.
This is so lame, why hasn't Light been playable in any of these type of JUMP crossovers? In fact, this is only the second time Yugi has been a character at all since Ultimate Stars back on DS. And we probably ain't gonna get that amount of characters for a crossover again.
Hey im kinda similar, unless the anime is at least as good as the manga. Thats why things like Attack of Titans of MHA are great, the animation is on point, the music, and even the voice acting. This, for example, doesn't happen for me with Naruto, i just cannot watch the anime. But in the case of Yu Yu the animation is really on point, and it has probably the best Tournament Arc for a manga ever (with the exception of maybe the original Dragon Ball). Its really that good.
This also brings the question: Why is always Toguro the Yu Yu villain in these games? Sensui is at least as good, or even any of the big three emperors of the dark world in the manga

In terms of women characters, seeing as how we got 3 protag reps for One Piece, Sakura could potentially be the 3rd for Naruto, at least, if it's not Kakashi. Urakaka or Tsuyu of Boku no Hero have a slight chance as well, if Todoroki doesn't get in. Noelle from Black Clover would be an obvious choice.
That's all I can think of unfortunately.

It's mostly because the game is ugly and so far removed from a shounen look (especially after the Naruto and DBFZ games) that even if I absolutely love saint seya I can't find the strenght to care about this game
It ultimately comes down to needing to get creative with how his moveset would work, since he doesn't come from a battle shonen. Spike themselves have said "We're only focusing on fighters" and "Light would be too overpowered with the Death Note", which are pretty bullshit excuses IMO.
So yeah, with you there. They're the developers, they should be able to figure this out.
God times to be a Saint Seiya Fan, the inclusion of Seiya and Shiryu (Possible even more characters?) on this game, the new Saint Seiya Tencent game looks good too, hopefully it gets a global release soon, new anime early next year and that mysterious new Saint Seiya show from Netflix. good times ahead.
I second this, just finished watching it(dubbed) for the first time on hulu(US) and it was great
Glad to see Seiya and Shiryu join the roster. I hope we get some God Cloths, so Seiya and Goku can go God vs God. Seiya did get his God form in Japan before Goku got SSJ:
Also, there needs to be an anime OST:
Not only for the awesome OP, but the fantastic score:

I may prefer the manga to the anime for story, cloth design, and such, but man, the anime had such fantastic music and voice work. Tohru Furuya as Seiya man...fantastic. He deserved better than Yamcha, lol.

Brazilian TV says: hold my beer
Anime will never get cheesier than this
Eh...I'd rather have Nobuo Yamada.
Or, if we're going for someone Dragon Ball Z fans can appreciate:
You can't go wrong with Hironobu Kageyama.
I knew seiya was a given... but shiryu?? now we talking son
wish they used their divine cloth instead of the gold cloth for their transformation tho

"Japan don't care so neither should anyone else" is such a sad excuse for enabling the enrichment of literal pedophiles. :/
Definitely, I love the God Cloths, especially their detailed manga designs, which would work well with a 3D model:
The Hades OVA changed them from all Gold to the anime cloth colors sadly (and the natural flattening of textures to make animation easier).
Yeah, look at what Capcom did with Phoenix Wright. Its possible to do this sort of things
It's always funny when Brazilians think that Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya are at the same level of popularity, haha. Dragon Ball is an absolute juggernaut and reached an enourmous popularity everywhere it aired, while SS has never been very popular even in Japan. It got notoriety in some countries in Latin America and France I think, but that's it. It's basically unknown in North america, and even by the newer generations in Japan. The franchise is produced there, but has been aimed at Brazil and these other countries for a while now, you can see that with them announcing the characters in a Brazilian event.
The armor shaders look terrible, but there has never been a Saint Seiya game that figured it out, so I wouldn't expect it in a game where they are just guest characters. Really nice that both of them have their Gold Cloth as well!
As a huge Saint Seiya fan, this has strangely spiked my interest in the game.

I'm not saying it's as popular as DBZ, I was asserting that it's a classic of the likes of anime such as DBZ. I'm from NA so I definitely know underappreciated it is over here.
Hopefully the Netflix show gives it a second life like what's happening with Jojo recently.
As an American, Saint Seiya absolutely deserves to stand by Dragon Ball Z.
Saint Seiya did compete quite successfully with Dragon Ball for a few years when they ran together in WSJ. Toei's bad decisions that lead to the anime's end no doubt had a negative impact on the franchise. Dumping the anime's director and writer, dropping the budget massively, and all leading into a long filler arc off of the hype that was the Sanctuary Arc's end...how do you mess up an anime that badly?
Even ignoring that, it was a fantastic series with a lot of good things going for it.
Yeah i dont think they're comparable at all
Saint Seiya was actually enjoyable and good
It's a well known fact that japan has the worst taste on earth (see: any character popularity pool) so them disliking it just makes SS even better
One of the advantages of being the Phoenix Bronze Saint is that death's more of a set back than anything else.
They were running right into the manga (even the end of the Sanctuary arc is mostly based on outlines rather than the finished manga chapters), they pretty much needed a filler arc to keep the show going. There was no other choice. And it didn't even die due to ratings, but due to the holiday toysales being bad during the Asgard arc.
Nice. Thanks. Sadly the time schedule for the beta is short and not practical to play in.
Dont get me wrong, Saint Seiya was as popular or more than Dragon Ball in the late 90's across Latin America and continental Europe. It just never reached the US for some reason so it never became universally popular. You need to reach the anglosphere to have worldwide appeal.
Where's gray haired, red eyed evil Saga though? Most powerful saint of all and the only one that gave Ikki such a beatdown:
We need Arc System works to give Saint Seiya the DBZ Fighters treatment ASAP

Most powerful Saint? I dunno, it might be:
The Ophiuchus Gold Saint, Ophiuchus Odysseus:
Uh, no there isn't just those for protagonist. Arale was part of every game, for example. If they wanted, they could put more woman as well even if they're not the protagonists (as they did with Rukia)
Maybe they'll consider to not put Kenshin because reception in the west but don't be surprised to see the character since the manga still continues.
And the example from the guy you quoted is right. The first volume of Kenshin which launched 3 weeks ago reached 300k this week and is very popular. If they go by japanese reception, they won't have any problem. That was what he was trying to say, not that people in the west shouldn't care about it.
lol well known fact.
Japan has much better taste, considering that you're saying that Saint Seiya of all things is good with how bad Kurumada is as an artist and storyteller.
Uh, yes, it was. This myth that Saint Seiya never was very popular is false. The manga sold more than 40 million and the anime did well. The manga still continues even today on Akita Shoten with some adaptations here and there and some of them never even get out of there. It's of course very popular in LATAM and Europe but it's definitely aimed at japan first and those external countries later, even more when series got cancelled because of bad japanese sales and reception.
No, they weren't, at all. Dragon Ball always sold more than Saint Seiya and the anime was also much better received than the manga was, which don't mean that the manga was a failure. It still sold very well with more than 40 million.
And Toei has no involvement on budget questions, much like it was a question of schedule and disponibility, not budget, as it remains on the same level for pretty much all productions.
Ah yes, saint seiya, the show where I liked almost every other character, yet despised the main protagonist. At least Shiryu is also in.
The show was also very popular for my generation in China. Not sure about kids today though.

as far as anime protagonists goes, seiya is one of the least offensive to me. sure he is boring as hell, but most are. at least he's just boring. also for a protagonist he does get his ass kicked a lot so if you dislike him theres always that small joy every now and then
People need to stop worrying about Jojo's. It'll probably get 4-5 characters, because of how popular it is now. Ain't none of you sweating bullets like Kinnikuman fans.
Immediately what I thought of. You guys are the best. LOL
To be fair, I'm already wary of this game cause I find the art style they chose to go with disgusting but adding that pedo's character to the roster would be a sure fire way to make certain I never touch this with a ten foot pole.
Estás pero si bien mal, mi chavo. Shiryu es la reata. Hyoga es un pinche niño de mami.
Perfect Avatar. Caballeros del Zodiaco. Which dub? Español o Españyol
I'm not interested on it either because of that artstyle (and gameplay) haha It's hideous
