The Most Ambitious Manga Fighting Game - Jump Ultimate Stars

It's hard to stomach another 3D anime arena fighter when you played peak 20 years ago.

[@flyingningahero5961]

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

[@austynwiles5414]

That always baffles me

[@neonthunder3261]

It’s got fucking Otokojuku HELL YEAHHH

[@austinreed7343]

I think it might be due to the Kinnikuman series having some content that is problematic nowadays, tbh.

[@mythosinfinite6736]

​@@austinreed7343 OG Dragon Ball:

[@Fre4k4life]

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.

[@maxxpower3d6]

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.

[@JagoShogun]

I love that detail, I guess the people on his panel raise their hands to give him some of that dank gen-ki.

[@GuileWinQuote]

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!

[@Ramsey276one]

W T A F ?!? XD

[@perrolokoz]

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.

[@ubermaster1]

THATS what people were doing online? For years I had no idea why they combo would nuke entire rooms

[@iamgoinghome]

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

[@PetterKallKen]

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.

[@Mateus_Carvalho]

I'm half certain that the Naruto on this is the one from Super Smash Flash.

[@Meiloorun]

there is a mugen community making these characters into fighting game characters with these sprites and new characters based off this sprite style.

[@5higuy]

@@PetterKallKenlol yeah that game is massive in china. trailers get millions of views

[@Creepo_J]

Super Smash Flash 2

[@Chardo88]

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.

[@phabiorules]

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.

[@TheNekoGentleman]

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.

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

[@urethraEx]

Unfortunately there's no way a game like this could happen again. Unless it was like a gacha mobile game or something

[@novateel6037]

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.

[@DDKoD]

They Had Kuroko as a Support in Jstars Victory Vs and he’s non combatant

[@Oblivion_Stark-99]

Allen and Tsuna would have been great to have along with Toriko but hey

[@PepsiMan666]

They used to sell the predecessor Jump Super Stars at Best Buy of all places. We need to go back.

[@GuileWinQuote]

I just learned this recently... this would have saved me a lot of heart ache as a kid importing the game!

[@JackgarPrime]

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.

[@DaiAndOh]

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.

[@neonthunder3261]

LOL! Doing them like Amiba is completely in character.

[@thewave-qz9lt]

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.

[@Zontar82]

also luffy+jotaro

[@GuileWinQuote]

I love that even in Ultimate Stars, Bobobo gets a buff if you put Yugi next to him!

[@LordofSadFac]

​@@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.

[@wusstunes]

Had not heard anyone talk about this game in a long time. It always looked so cool.

[@mikaela5938]

omg i love your videos, it's fun seeing you here

[@16_bit_bungo]

Sena being unstoppable?? Sounds lore-accurate to me

[@TheSeventhForce]

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

[@GuileWinQuote]

Reading this made me so retroactively jealous lol

[@Jebsjebsjenebs]

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

[@BoNyKiD]

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

[@JoelBurger]

@@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.

[@BoNyKiD]

@@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

[@urethraEx]

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

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

[@brandongreen4439]

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.*

[@caldw615]

Funny that you could summon Light in some random corner of the level and if he has enough time he'll instakill a character.

[@JackgarPrime]

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.

[@GanjiMEX]

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...

[@elnaoya9274]

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.

[@flowchartk3n]

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

[@GuileWinQuote]

Wow I didn't know that myself!

[@urethraEx]

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

[@ZEDEX252]

When the jump is force

[@Wolfedge75]

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.

[@Dreikoo]

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.

[@werlegee4187]

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

[@BrothaKyo]

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.

[@WaddleMoogle]

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.

[@BlueBurstGaming]

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.

[@dcb99filmz]

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.

[@SolarKnightR]

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.

[@victikirby15]

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

[@Jebsjebsjenebs]

The pannel mechanic blew my mind, if shonen jump made a game like this again it would be a instant buy

[@SundreeOFFICIAL]

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.

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

[@SolarKnightR]

God, your video list hit me like a nostalgia nuke. Even some of my old matches are in there.

[@yuichikita6018]

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.

[@kirby010694]

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!

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.

[@KnightLineArtYT]

Man, I think is one of the few Japan-Only games I imported back in the day. Had a lot of fun with it.

[@royfox2010]

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.

[@Air_OK]

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.

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.

[@Shizuma]

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!

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.

[@DeathAlchemist]

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.

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 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.

I completely forgot about this and had to pull out my copy to thumb through the manual after seeing this video in my recommendations. When I imported it back in the day I knew very little of the represented manga, mainly picking it up because it was when I first got into One Piece. Looking back it's crazy how I didn't even know who heavy hitters like Jotaro were.

Got back to playing this recently on my 3DS with an English patch to make solo play easier, and I think Hiei is easily my favorite character in the game, 5koma especially for that Dragon of the Darkness Flame that can buff you if you steer it into yourself.

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

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
