Kimetsu's got the ideal number of important characters for a fighting game too, throughout the series the major ones are pretty much

Tanjirou, Nezuko and the other 4 from his group
9 pillars
7 upper/former upper moons (could also split upper 6 into two characters)
Muzan (could maybe do a couple different forms)
and 3 important lower/former lower moons

making up to 25 or 26 total, pretty evenly split between good and bad guys, which is a good number that includes all the favourites without being too much.

You could get it up to 30+ easily enough too with the pre-Drum House villains and the spider arc minions if they wanted a larger roster. It's one of the rare series where you could realistically include every single character (though maybe in a sequel rather than the first game).

Would be cool to see it get its own fighting game before it ends, even if it's just another not-very-good bamco 3D fighter like Jump Force or the MHA one (I wouldn't be surprised if there's an unannounced one in development right now, guaranteed they'll want to capitalise on the massive success while it's hot). Perhaps we'll see one that ties into the movie release or s2.

I could see a FighterZ type game made by Arc System Works.

But maybe that's being too hopeful.

 

[AbrahamOmosun]

From what I have heard around the internet, the best jump games are from Naruto, Dragon ball and Jojo. Which other high tier ones do you guys know?

Everyone just wants a FighterZ type game for everything

Saint Seiya games are usually good. Also, there was that Hokuto no Ken PS4 with very good positive reviews.

 

[Franz]

Hey, you know what this isn't?

A logical and sound argument.

You know what this is?

Batshit conspiracy theories about the "SJW menace".

Hey, you know what this isn't?

A polite and well-built message

You know what this is?

Denying reality and minimizing harm.

 

[Halloween]

But are you referring to my message?

If so, what would be Nazi about being against censorship?

Ice, I thought I told you to stop with this.

You've made your point, now you're just repeating yourself.

It terms of actual quality that goes beyond license videogames its still Dragonball FighterZ after that would probably be Jump Ultimate Stars, Bleach Dark Souls, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Heritage to the Future, Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 and Hokuto no Ken PS2. The rest range from "pretty good for an anime title" to "mediocre". One thing I do miss is the amount of shovelware made for anime that was done during the PS2 era since they did some pretty wild stuff with the properties that went beyond simple fighters (The Prince of Tennis games were essentially dating sims and Death Note were a detective style puzzle games for the DS) like the incredibly weird Bobobo PS2 game.

 

[Serinox]

Seriously where is the kimetsu no yaiba game I've been waiting for. One of the most prolific manga of the 2010s and no money grubbing producer/executive has ordered a game. So disappointed in capitalism.

Dude, KnY has been a mega success for less than a year. How do you expect game developers to already have something presentable to show for a potential KnY game?

 

[Franz]

Ice, I thought I told you to stop with this.

You've made your point, now you're just repeating yourself.

I only answered and asked for a clarification, because honestly if it was referred to me, that of giving me the Nazi otaku is a real offense.

And I would also like to know why, since in my message I have not included anything Nazi (or at least I hope so).

Black Clover had a PS4 game announcement a few months after its anime premiered.

Denying reality and minimizing harm.

By responding to a minor mishap with a declaration of war against all sort of censorship. Censorship is a necessary (while not always good) part of culture.
The absolutism in your message is quite worrying, per se.

And you know what you arguing for this whole time, denying reality and minimizing harm of people actually affected by the issue, and deflecting with whataboutism using the extreme case of trolls.

I had forgotten who Goebbels was, but I deleted his post. @Thundercat27 don't do stuff like that, please.

Yup, that was quite over the line. Was thinking of deleting it, but I guessed it was more honest to keep it up.

Rethinking, I should have used Alex Jones instead

Are people actually calming down or is it just people making troll accounts to spam? I don't expect China to lift the ban anytime soon I just want to be able to explore the hashtag again.

 

[Halloween]

Honestly, the thing that upsets me the most about the MHA China ban isn't even that Horikoshi/Shueisha had to apologize.

It's that a really awesome looking mobile game got cancelled, allegedly.


Was that an officially licensed game? Because that looks light years better than most mobile games. Hell, that looks better than the console MHA games.

Yes. Its really sad especially given the amount of work that went into it. Also the collaboration with Inhuman Academy was also dropped.

Jesus Christ

I really hope we can look back at this and laugh someday.

Somewhat related, I recall Riot Games has a team that check if their upcoming champions have anything insensitive or offensive worldwide (I recalled they changed one champion name pre-release due to her in development name was a slang word in Brazil Portuguese).
In this current age when Jump tries it best to expand globally, maybe they should consider to have some sort of team like that.

If they didn't before, you can bet they will now.

Little mistakes like this aren't worth losing millions over. Not when you can just hire grunts to fact check this stuff.

 

[4Eyes]

Honestly, I don't know why we are still on this MHA topic. Horikoshi committed a big historical mistake, some people got (rightfully) upset, Horikoshi assumed the mistake and said he would change things, people demanded an apology, then not only Horikoshi but the whole Shueisha did it.
As of now, people who are still bullying Horikoshi are just trolls or fanatics and lots of replies related to this topic are borderline hate speech. So what's the point anymore?
