this very scan says "52 characters"... We have 52 characters already... Roster is final...


Well, the scan may say "52 characters," but does anyone know if the scan says anything about it being the final roster? I just wanna keep hoping that they'll add Yoh Asakura.

This looks like a poster that you buy in anticipation for a game. So this is probably the whole character roster. Also, there's lots of evidence supporting it being the final.

- The Anison Edition's songs have been filled up
- On the character info page of the official site, all the ??? have finally been filled

So yeah, this is the final. Even if they surprisingly add another character, it'd have to be from a series already presented.

Maybe Yoh, Yugi, and Kinnikuman will appear as DLC.

Also, I'm surprised Arale is in this. "Dr. Slump" pretty much got overshadowed by Toriyama's magnum opus.

I'm disapointed that another character from One Piece is playable, I would rather see another character from a different series to be announced. Such as playable characters from Ao no Exorcist, Claymore or Shaman King. As support I would like to see characters from Death Note or Yu-Gi-Oh.

More playable female characters wouldn't hurt by the way...

Speaking of J-Stars, have we heard anything about new stages at all?
I think I saw Kamesennin's house in the same scan Arale was announced with, not sure if it's even confirmed yet.

I hope Tony Tony Chopper is playable, or at LEAST shows up.

EVEN if there are more characters, there are no more SERIES to be represented. Official Website posted all 32 series, and 7 of them are ???. If you add HNK, all series from Arale Scan and Otokojuku, you get all those seven ??? filled...

Hentai Kamen keeps getting snubbed in these games.

No Yugi or Yoh? Damn, that's a shame. Those are the characters I wanted.

My final analysis of the roster.

- I hate that One Piece gets a 4th rep, but its not a huge complaint of mine. Its just going to feel weird to see 4 reps for one series. I like One Piece as much as the next person (as you can tell by my name and avatar), so I'm not saying this just to say it.



one piece SHOULD have the most representatives since it's the most popular. this isn't about fairly representing each series, it's about fanservice. although they're trying to represent lots of series, in the end, it's just a popularity contest.

if they put in characters that attract people's attention, they'll sale more games. despite one piece having 4 playable characters, i'm shocked that none of them are zoro or sanji.

i'm also very disappointed that kuroko got a character but slam dunk didn;t, even though it has a way bigger legacy and is one of jump's top ten sellers of all time. i guess older series and sports series get no respect?

So in the end only one rep from Saint Seiya!? and no one from the 12 Gold Saints? not even Phoenix Ikki!? unfair -_-
join the crew their is not even a rep for reborn as well but i heard that it's tradition to do a 2nd game for jump proof ince the first one came out in 1989 and the second one came out in 1991 and super stars came out in 2005 and the last one came out in 2006 so it could me the second one could have more rivals and bad guys does this sound legit ?

tsuna is from reborn and he was revealed as a playable character a long time ago.
