J-Stars Victory Vs (originally titled as Project Versus J) is a crossover video game by Namco Bandai Games for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. It is the follow-up to Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars (which were released for the Nintendo DS).
The game was first announced in December 2012, in the second 2013 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump. It was made to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Shōnen Jump, and it is presented as the "ultimate Jump game". The game was released in Japan on March 19, 2014, and was later released in Europe and North America in June 2015. This marked it as the first Jump Stars game to be released outside of Japan, as well as the first internationally-released video game to feature Rurouni Kenshin characters.
Gameplay[]
The game allows for a maximum of four players to duke it out in a 3D environment, either in a Battle Royale situation or in teams of two combatants.
- Normal Attacks: fast attacks that do not consume stamina. They are the main part of the battle, and all combos begin with them.
- Power Attacks: slow, but powerful strikes that can break an opponent's guard. They use stamina and leave the user open, but they have a big impact if they connect and their power can be increased by charging them up.
- Ranged Attacks: long range attacks that deal a lot of damage. They use stamina, but allow to hit opponents over a wide area.Enemies can sidestep these attacks however.
- Special Moves: are techniques activated when the Voltage Meter fills up. It expands when team members deliver (or get hit with) attacks, and it packs enough wallop to decide the match if it can be pulled off. An example of a signature character move is Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou.
By using different techniques, the player can lead his team to victory. Learning each character's different power, range, and effects is the first step towards being unbeatable.
