Yeah, but skipping on Kenshiro is like skipping out on Jojo characters. If this game is to celebrate 45 years of characters from Weekly Shounen Jump then you better not forget the ones that made themselves a household name in your industry.
dont you know how fanboys work? they'll only care about the one piece, dragonball and they'll say everything else is fluff.
but the one piece and dragonball crowd are the more vocal ones compared to the houkto and bastard fans.
fuckin' toei.....
Is MvC3 horribly riddled with Spiderman and Wolverine and Deadpool because they appear in the most popular comics?
I love you.
Kenshiro is practically guaranteed.
dude, what it was Yugi, IN Bobobo?!
I would definitely would have preferred Sakuragi (iconic sports manga character) over a relatively greenhorn character like Kuroko to rep basketball (face it Kuroko spot was secure since his manga/anime been recently really popular), but having a 2nd basketball centric person as a support character would feel redundant.
dude, sakuragi is known for more than just his basketball skills.I would definitely would have preferred Sakuragi (iconic sports manga character) over a relatively greenhorn character like Kuroko to rep basketball (face it Kuroko spot was secure since his manga/anime been recently really popular), but having a 2nd basketball centric person as a support character would feel redundant.
Especially when there are different sport Jump manga protagonists like Football player Sena (Eyeshield 21), Tennis player Ryoma ( Prince of Tennis), and soccer player Sho (Whistle!) that can be added for variety sakes.
That said though there is plenty of time left for more reveals and so far been very satisfied with the playable/support selection. They branched out of using only battle manga characters and expanded to Comedy, Ecchi, and Sports which is a +. From the trailers/screenshots they seem to be true to source material. They could add more of the older Jump characters though is my only criticism.
If anything it makes sense they are support characters. They are from a student support club.
Kagura/Sudoharu was already confirmed as an assist character.
