Nice list but needs a few more female characters. And characters from different series. Cobra, Kinnikuman, Tsuna from Reborn, Hitomi from Cat’s Eye. Throw in Dio from JoJo and Raoh from Fist of the North Star.
@shonenjump86 Yeah I think there are a few properties here that need at least an extra character.
@shonenjump86 They need to make extra money from DLC somehow eh? I'm just glad City Hunter's getting some love.
I have missed the BETA completely. How was this game like compared to Naruto Storm? What are the general impressions on it? I'd really like to get it, but I wouldn't want to be disappointed. For reference, I played all Storm games as they appeared. I even have them on Switch and I constantly play them. Really love the gameplay in there.
@sabaki08 In my opinion it's nowhere near as polished as the Storm games (particularly the later ones). Jump Force is fun but it's quite janky and kind of unsatisfying at times. I'm hoping the full game is a lot tighter, but we're pretty close to release...
To clarify I don't think it's bad, and there's definite entertainment to be found in seeing so many different characters fight, but yeah, it doesn't feel particularly great to play right now.
Asta wasn't named.
@ShogunRok Nothing comes close to the Storm series.
@sabaki08 did you ever play One Piece Burning Blood because it seems to be using that as it's base although it plays better
i would say it sits somewhere in between Burning Blood and DB Raging Blast but as Spike did those games that's not unexpected
@IBeAGamer yes he was back in December
@ShogunRok @nessisonett I can see DLC happening for this game.
@shonenjump86 Oh yeah, for sure.
@naruball Yeah I really enjoyed all of them. Still think Storm 4 is a downright incredible anime game.
Where dat Shaman King rep at?
@FullbringIchigo I meant in this article.
@FullbringIchigo @IBeAGamer Whoops, you're right. Added Asta in.
Totally forgot about Black Cover but then... It is pretty forgettable, right? I don't know, maybe that's just me.
@ShogunRok it's an OK series, definitely worth at least a read
Jotaro is the only one for JJBA?
@FullbringIchigo Yeah I heard the manga is better.
@Harmonie Right now he is, might be someone else revealed before release.
@ShogunRok yeah it's better than the anime and it doesn't have someone with an ear splitting scream every 5 seconds
@Harmonie so far but i imagine there will be more announced soon
@ShogunRok if this does well they might put out sequels where they bring improvements to it, like the Storm games did. But I don't see them being as commited as CC2 was with the Naruto games throughout the years.
@ShogunRok I love it.
Put in Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho and I might buy this game, but as it is I'd say that's nowhere near enough characters... What's the point of including so many different series if you only pick one character from each of them?
wait... aren't Ryuk and Light Yagami supposed to be in here as well?
Hopefully Dio from Jojo gets added also Hiei and Kuwabara from YYH would be dope too
@Dresden-king yes but they are not playable characters

I want to see characters from Tiger & Bunny.
I've been seeing quite a bit of concern for the lack of female characters lately-and I agree. I know this is an old topic to bring up, but I'll share my list of Female Characters for Jump Force that could work with reasoning (personal or otherwise) and would like to know some of your guys' thoughts for candidates:
note this list is not in order of Want but order of candidates I thought of
1. Medaka Kurokami/Medaka Box - This character is highly requested/suggested among fans and I'm right there with them. She appeared in J-Stars Victory VS as playable and was a fun character to use. Also, Weekly Shonen Jump doesn't have too many leading female protagonists in their series, so I think she would be a good choice.
2. Android 18/Dragon Ball - As one of the few female fighters in the series before Super, she is one of the top (arguably No. 1) female fan favorites in the franchise. I can see her added to the story as a mercenary for hire kind of character for Jump Force, since she had a similar role in Xenoverse.
3. Noelle Silva/Black Clover - Another character highly requested/suggested due to the rising popularity of the series. Although Black Clover is still ongoing, having only one character added to represent the franchise seems a little lackluster. Plus, having another long ranged fighter wouldn't be bad.
4. Mai Valentine/Yu-Gi-Oh! - One of the few (if not only) strong female Duelists from the original series, she would obviously play similar to Yugi, but with some noticeable differences. Her Harpie Ladies would show quick rushes and formations that would make for some entertaining gameplay. Also, with how she has played both supportive protagonist and antagonist roles in the franchise, she could possibly play either role for the game's plot.
5. Yoruichi Shihōin/Bleach - A fan favorite among the community (myself included), she would make for another interesting addition. Although I never personally became very interested in Bleach, her popularity and battle prowess would make much sense why she would be on most peoples' lists. And with the addition of Bleach characters forms from the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, there would be a chance to see her in a new form as well.
6. Sarada Uchiha/Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - With the addition of Boruto to the game and franchise ongoing, adding another character to represent the franchise would make sense. Although Boruto is considered a "Naruto" representative by some making a total of 6 and no confirmation of Sakura in the game, I think Sarada would make a good choice (considering Shippuden Naruto and Boruto are now in the same world). Since the game doesn't have a lot of Uchiha characters, Sarada would show some of the best of both worlds (pun intended XP).
7. Lala Satalin Deviluke/To LOVE-Ru - Some would say this character would be highly unlikely and they wouldn't be wrong, but so far Jump Force hasn't shown a lot of something that Weekly Shonen Jump has an affinity for other than action-comedy. Another character who appeared in J-Stars Victory VS, Lala would be another character to represent an older franchise that has popularity. Despite not being a "fighter", Lala's creative inventions would make her out as more of a "joke character", but a fun one nevertheless.
8. Ochaco Uraraka/Boku no Hero Academia - Another fan favorite in the franchise and highly requested/suggested character, she would definitely offer something unique for the game. Personally I would be thrilled to see Tsuyu Asui in the game to also represent an ongoing series I very much enjoy, but I don't think she would add much to the game's plot. Thanks to One's Justice, Ochaco would have a fighting style to go off of for a fighting game, unless they would plan to start from scratch.
9. Arale Norikami/Dr. Slump - I personally know nothing of the franchise, but know that it has been ongoing for years and Arale is an icon. Another character who appeared in J-Stars Victory VS, she would another character to represent an older series (getting old yet?). Another joke character of sorts and going toe to toe with Goku and Vegeta in Super, who else would want to see her go up against Luffy, Ichigo, Jotaro or Kenshiro?
10. Nami/One Piece - So far, we've seen some of the most epic fighters from the Straw Hat Crew make their debut in Jump Force...so why not Cat Burglar Nami? She has been around since the being of the franchise and would make for another interesting combatant or possibly plot character. I've played the Pirate Warrior games and thought her gameplay wasn't quite my cup of tea, but still interesting and seeing that in Jump Force would be a treat.
Anywho, that's my list. My apologies for getting a little carried away and I would like to hear some of your guys' thoughts or opinions.
