What do you think will happen first, Wano or the One Piece Tournament 2015 ending?

Tournament for sure
There's still Zou before Wano I imagine.

Before going to Wano, I think they'll need to meet up with the rest of the crew + Law's crew
I wouldn't mind a Wano arc if Zoro will be the real star there and not Luffy for once

I actually think Zou is just that, they will reunite with the others on that island the Curly hats were at (I personally think it's Zou).
Then they can take a bite of Kaido on Wano.

What a strange commercial.... Mr 3 looked kinda cool...

Guys and gals, a quick question, I'm quite confused right now (as I'm currently watching the most recent episode):

Did Doflamingo's jolly roger always have a nose...? I'm pretty sure that it didn't, that it was just the eyes, smile, and the line drawn over it...
I googled it and the two versions are showing up... halp :c?

Yes, it was 99.9 percent of the time drawn with the noose. Doflamingo’s sign was introduced at chapter 223 when Sarquiss was properly introduced. You’ll find it on his chest. Furthermore, on chapter 303(the irony of the ‘three’ as the last digit in each of these two chapters that revolve around that ‘sign’), Doflamingo spoke about the humiliation of his ‘sign’, and the sign was shown with a circle around it. I don’t ever remember it being drawn without a circle. 0.1 percent of the time when it was supposedly not drawn must be a mistake.

Well I'll be damned.
Thanks!

The MangaHelpers One Piece Tournament 2015 has officially started. Have fun discussing the clashes of 40 strong individuals.
Round 1: 2 of 5 Battle Royale - teams, alliances & coalitions; family, couples and lone warriors - you decide how it all will play out.

 

[Australopithecus]

Well I'll be damned.
Thanks!

I present you my deepest apologies for leading you in the wrong direction, Eigengrau. You used the word ‘nose’ and I confused it with the word ‘noose’. I thought you were using the word ‘noose’ to refer to the circle around Doflamigo’s sign. After all, there was a time when the ‘circle’ of his sign was not showing entirely.

Spoiler

Regarding the ‘nose’ with one ‘o’, this is what I know:

Sometimes there is a semicircular black shape exactly where the nose ought to be, protruding from underneath the diagonal line that is drawn over Doflamingo’s insignia.

Spoiler

Other times, it is either not drawn or that diagonal line completely covers the nasal cavity.

Spoiler

EDIT:

It appears that there is indeed a nasal cavity in Doflamingo's sign, but the line, which is drawn over his insignia, covers that nasal cavity.

The One Piece Tournament just started! First round is the Battle Royale. Don't forget to vote for whoever you think deserves to win while you still can.

Also feel free to discuss the groups in the tournament hangout.

hmm, the graphics look like a step down. I never buy any of these anime games anyway. But yeah.

I didn't either, my first one was pirate warriors 3. Bought it last week and I'm not disappointed.

The intensive fight is the attraction. However I do agree that the graphics need some improvement on. The music isn't that bad though.

don't know if this was posted somewhere but yeah,

Youtube's quality is not the same as the game's quality. When I had been checking a game named 'the Last of Us' before it came out, the PS4's graphics on Youtube looked almost the same as the PS3's graphics(if not worse). Youtube for some reason deteriorates the video's original quality. Is watching a Blueray movie on your Blueray player the same as watching it on Youtube? No. Same for games.

Besides, the game's creators sometimes focus on the 'framerate' more than the graphics.

Youtube(I heard somewhere) is limited to 30 frame/s, while the game can be 60 frames/s.

Edit: I have just checked this video now. The video is limited to a resolution of 360p while PS4 games have a resolution of 1080p. That's an important factor in our judgement.

I've stopped playing/buying games because I can't afford it anymore, money and time-wise, but I used to discuss with my friends a lot how it would be really hard to make a balanced VS. One Piece game just like Naruto Storm and stuff (they were big fans, used to play all the time and stuff, own pretty much every game, etc.).

This trailer doesn't impress me in the least, and I'm not even talking about the quality, but again, seeing as I'm not a gamer, I guess this wasn't intended for me.

I know it's the first One Piece Vs. game to come out on these platforms (right?), but one way to keep me interested/look up more info on it would be to have 50-100 playable characters, or more.

Because if they're just going to put the Straw-hats and another 10-15 characters, I dunno, it will look a bit redundant, I think what makes One Piece is its vast catalogue of characters.

I know I just said how it would be hard to have a balanced OP game, even moreso with so many characters (I guess with Naruto it's easier because they're "just ninjas" and stuff), but that's the game I'd want to play, maybe even have.


EDIT:

Just did a quick search, apparently the game will only have characters with Devil Fruits. Yep, a real let-down. If this turns out to be true, I'll just ignore the game and anything related to it.
Apparently it's being developped by those who made the Naruto games, and their excuse for having only DF users is because it fits with the whole "specials" and whatever.

That is such a dumb excuse. In those Naruto games, you can play with, say, Rock Lee or Tenten and win against Madara, while in the anime/manga such an outcome between those characters would be impossible; because it's a game, it's all about how you play with them.

Oh well.

The problem I have with One Piece games is that they're rehashing the same stuff over and over again. Even visually they look the same. They adopted the Musou style of games, and most OP games uses that system...
I might be interested in playing an OP VS game if let's say it was a 2D(or 2.5D) fighter in the vein of Guilty Gear and the Blazblue series. I think the series would fit that kind of game.
I would love to see ArcSys take on OP, their games are really anime-ish.

I do often get irritated because most of the games in the consoles area are just reusing the same engines as each other.

Effectively they copy paste the code, redraw the graphics to make it LOOK different, yet you can tell it feels the same. BUT you pay full price for these games?
Hahaaa I think I wont touch it.

I have stopped playing games since they no longer arouse my interest. I feel like I'm playing the same game every time though the characters, graphics and music may be different, but the design and structure of the games seem so similar. Like you mentioned, the game developers probably reuse the codes.

I always wonder how saleable are these games...
