    Pretty good video, though it was glaring how you didn't mention any of Jump's past crossover games when talking about Jump Force. Jump Ultimate Stars on the DS had over 50 playable characters and over 100 assist characters from 42 different franchises, and J-Stars Victory VS (made by the Jump Force devs, Spike Chunsoft) had 39 playable characters and 13 assist characters from 32 different franchises. You had mentioned before how Bamco tried advertising the game has a big serious crossover, and that was intentional because they were literally just trying to turn the Jump characters into their own Avengers, down to having a Nick Fury-like leader and a Thanos-like villain. It also didn't help that Spike Chunsoft (the dev team) were working on other games at the time, like the One Punch Man game, or the recently revealed Sparking Zero/Tenkaichi 4 (which started development one year before Jump Force came out).
    On the topic of dubs though, there's definitely a LOT of legal mumbo-jumbo with MULTIPLE dubbing studios that Bamco does NOT want to deal with. Especially since Funimation and Viz Media kinda hate each other, so there's no way they'd want to work together on the same project together. No matter how many people want it to happen, Goku and Naruto will never talk to each other in their English voices in any sort of crossover.

      Well, if I'm the future game dev, either 2d-indie or 3d-AAA, I'll make 2 future crossover games which is both for Shonen Jump (with 4-7 franchises' reps each) and for another Shonen Jump but with more franchises/IPs such as Ben 10, Justice League, Marvel, Capcom, etc.

    Honestly, I agree with literally every single point you made, except for the story mode part. It's possible to have a good story mode in a game like this, but it'd be difficult.
    If they did it kinda like how Smash Bros. did Subspace Emissary, then it could work. In fact, it could possibly be better. They didn't execute it well at all, but I believe we could have a great story mode if they retooled it heavily.

    This game is the epitome of a cash grab. It’s literally shonen jump and Bandai knowing that the game on paper sounds so good that everyone who is a fan of these properties will at least check it out because who wouldn’t want a smash like game with all your favorite anime characters instead of video game characters. But as soon as people realized how bad the game actually was the entire thing fell apart. One thing that actually turned me off to the whole thing was the lack of a guard break. I knew absolutely nothing about shonen jump characters because I had just started getting into anime seriously and what made me upset was how you could just press the block button and be impervious to all forms of damage. Gon is able to just simply guard a gear 4 luffy punch or a spirit bomb or a chidori. That immediately made me not like the game because it was clear that nobody involved actually cared about making a good game

    I was gonna leave a longer comment, but I think you pretty much covered it. Real shame since I really didn't get into it until after the last dlc pack.
    Hopefully they learn from their mistakes and release a much better Jump-Force 2. Probably a pipe-dream though.

      Yo! Thanks I was really apprehensive on posting on reddit at first.
      Yeah my first long video like this I wanted to really discuss everything being that this was a game I was VERY passionate about. I know a lot of people that got into it towards the end of the game because it being on sale or characters coming out so you're not alone!
      A Jump Force 2 is something that I would honestly love but I think Shonen Jump and/or Bandai really have to figure themselves out and their end goal first before just throwing everything at a game and it being a jack of all trades master of none.
      Appreciate the comment!

And I also lowkey just never fully used the custom character and didn’t feel super knowledgeable on the subject to give my thoughts or cover it. But you’re right I think the styles and custom characters are something I wish I could’ve spoken more on. That’s really dope! I love seeing my audience from tiktok over here! Thank you!

    Something I hoped u talked about in this was the character customization. It kinda sucked how there were only 4 character types u could pick. It sucked bc a lot of the things about the characters looked weird to me. Something I wish they actually had in it was a way larger customization like making a stand user or making a character fight with a different sword style. I would have loved maybe the ability to customize or buy swords for your character to use. It could also have been cool if u could make your character a specific race like a saiyan

      Yeah, and also on top of that grinding those characters to max level was so fucking goddamn tedious. There where I wanna say 3 or 4 level 100 mission, but only one of them is for “Leveling” (as each one is it’s own category there was also stuff to upgrade abilities and passives you could put on) so you’d fight the SAME three people that being DIO, Freiza, and Blackbeard. “Just fight online to level up” was and is a complete joke when you’d MAYBE get 10-12 xp for winning an online match when the back end of leveling is in the tens of thousands… I don’t know, I fucking loved the game… I just wish they did more, and tried harder which I get seemed to be the consensus… it’s just so unfortunate.

    I still play it and find the game fun. But it probably failed because of the dog shi story mode and the developers found out players weren’t playing it that much ( especially new players) and the low chances of people getting into it in the first place were pretty low in terms of stances! But I just still play it to today and quite the characters were getting added/shipped into the game, I’ll think about what my choice would be to accidentally buying a ass character that barely had swiftness.

    Black. Clover is actually really good and a very great anime that I've seen so far. in my a board certified professional anime watcher , I'm serious about this damnit, Great openings that I've listened too a many of times, great plot for a story, amazing world building and a Finely crafted power system if I do say so myself... Nothing will ever be as good as Hunter X Hunter though. But damn I wish so hard so much they would start cranking out the new season of the anime :( especially seeing those last 2 episodes.

    I knew jump force wasn’t going to be succesful from the get go. I am normally very optimistic about games, especially fighting games. But the gameplay just wasn’t hitting. j stars was a lot of fun because you had this huge map you could cause havoc on, but jump force just feels like a compact package that wasnt packed down properly.
    Poor fighting mechanics, the tag mechanic felt unsatisfying, issues with certain characters being overwhelming while others felt completely unusable.
    My friends certainly were hopeful, but its too steep of a learning curve for a game thats casual at best.
