Line 6:
The unique feature of ''Jump Super Stars'' is how a team is built. Each character has from 1-8 koma (manga panels), each of a different size and shape. The touch screen has a 5 x 4 grid to place koma on, and the koma you place there form your deck. The size of each koma determines if it is a help (1 panel; provides a bonus to adjacent characters), support (2-3 panels; performs a single attack) or battle character (4+ panels; the playable characters). You must have one of each type of koma in your deck. Most fighting is done with the basic buttons, but using support characters, switching battle characters and activating some special attacks require touching the appropriate koma, while the battle takes place on the upper screen.
In 2006, a sequel, ''Jump Ultimate Stars'' was released. In addition to adding game modes and many new characters, each fighter got at least two basic attacks and a powerful finisher. The unlock system was also much improved
In 2009, a [[Spiritual Successor]] of sorts was made, ''[[Sunday VS Magazine Shuuketsu Choujou Daikessen]]'', with another set of manga characters from Shueshias's rivals
'''Manga represented in this series:'''
* ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]''
* ''[[Bleach]]''
* ''[[
* ''[[Busou Renkin]]''
* ''[[Captain Tsubasa]]'' (''Ultimate Stars'' only)
Line 29:
* ''[[Ichigo 100%|Ichigo One Hundred Percent]]''
* ''[[I''s]]'' (''Ultimate Stars'' only)
* ''Manga/Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''
* ''[[Jungle King Tar Chan]]'' (''Ultimate Stars'' only)
* ''[[Kinnikuman]]'' (''Ultimate Stars'' only)
Line 61:
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: In some cases (such as with [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jotaro]]), it has a special effect, such as restoring SP.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Ichigo, Naruto and Luffy's 8 koma forms. They've got impressive special attacks, but all of them come out very slowly, making them harder to land. Their 7 koma specials are much quicker and to the point.
** Also, Kenshiro 7 in ''Jump Ultimate Stars''. If the attack connects, it's sure to throw your opponent far away, but 1. you must be just next to him/her so it can connect (it is a short-range radial attack), and 2. Kenshiro takes long enough to load that he may get hit and break the attack.
** [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Dio Brando]]'s 5-Koma version can pull off the infamous 'Road Roller' move, but it's [[Stealth Pun|useless]] compared to his 6-Koma version's Time Stop ability ("{{smallcaps| Toki wo tomare!!"}}).
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Ringouts.
* [[Charged Attack]]: Certain characters' taunts will charge attacks to make them more effective
** [[D.Gray-man|Allen Walker's]] [[Arm Cannon]] is a more traditional [[Charged Attack]]. When charged, it fires five bolts at once.
** [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Yusuke's]] Spirit Gun (the normal and air versions) do a bit more damage and knock down opponents. You can also hold the finisher buttons to charge his big shots.
Line 71:
** Some of the attacks are... bizarre. Like [[Naruto|Kakashi]] and [[Gintama|Gintoki]] teaming up and recovering health and earning a victory point by reading porn. Or [[One Piece|Sanji]] and [[Busou Renkin|Kazuki]] using their "seduction" techniques as a form of recovery (notably, when Kazuki tried it in his series, it didn't work).
* [[Continuity Porn]]
* [[Crisis Crossover]]:
* [[Double Jump]]: All characters
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Power beats Knowledge beats Laughter beats Power.
* [[Escort Mission]]
* [[Excuse Plot]]: The plot is practically non-existent for a vast majority of ''Jump Ultimate Stars'''s main campaign mode.
* [[Extremity Extremist]]: A few characters only punch, while [[D.Gray-man|Lenalee]] and [[One Piece|Sanji]] only use kicks; there is a "Kickers" deck in ''
* [[Fake Difficulty]]: When setting the AI to "Hard" mode (as if it made any difference, see AI Roulette above), it will automatically assume a guarding stance immediately after you press any attack button.
**
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Rukia, Killua, most knowledge characters in general.
* [[Grid Inventory]]:
* [[I Know Madden Kombat]]:
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: As if having so many ''Jump'' characters in one game wasn't enough, some characters gain a small bonus when paired up with characters from other series, like [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yugi Mutou]] and [[
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Goku, Naruto and Luffy.
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: The game has one [[Trope Maker]] out of the two, and he's just one of a few who can do this.
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: The koma in question are culled directly from the original manga, and they do contain spoilers (Sakuragi 3, for example, is the ''very last panel'' in the whole ''[[Slam Dunk]]'' story). Arguably, some characters' mere inclusion counts
* [[Mad Scientist]]: The [[Big Bad]] is
* [[Mascot Fighter]]
* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]
Line 94 ⟶ 92:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Raoh, Edajima, Bo-Bobo, among others.
* [[The Missingno]]: The Black koma. It can only be unlocked by using an Action Replay or similar, but it grants infinite SP.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Aside from the Jump Pirate (the logo of Shonen Jump), each series in ''Jump Ultimate Stars'' has an unlockable one to explain everything in the menus. Among them [[Dragon Ball|Bulma]], [[Naruto|Tsunade]], [[One Piece|Chopper]], [[Fist of the North Star|Lin]] and [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Botan]].
* [[Mythology Gag]]: '''All over the place'''. Every single move performed by every single character is a reference to an action done sometime, somewhere, in their respective manga.
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: It's possible to actually break the walls, which are actually the borders of the "manga" page. Knocking someone out the side literally kicks them out of the manga, resulting in a knockout.
* [[Plank Gag]]: One of [[Gintama|Gintoki's]] attacks. The attack might be based on chapter 9 of ''Gintama'' (where he has to fix a customer's roof while the Shinsengumi are after him), but the actual gag doesn't happen there.
* [[Pop Quiz]]
* [[Popularity Power]]: More popular series like ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', ''[[Naruto]]'', ''[[One Piece]]'', ''[[Bleach]]'', etc
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: Made worse by larger-koma characters being more powerful.
** More precisely one just have to wonder how Ryotsu from the decades-long popular ''Kochikame'' who is just a regular police officer can even land a hit on monsters like Visored Ichigo, Gear 2nd/3rd Luffy and Kyuubi Naruto, or even more ridiculous against characters who can easily destroy planets or subdue Gods, Vegetto and Sagittarius Seiya respectively.
Line 106 ⟶ 104:
* [[Shout-Out]]: You can actually replicate Yugi coming out of Bobobo's afro thing from the manga.
* [[Skip of Innocence]]: One of Misa Amane's supports has her doing this. If an opponent attacks her, Rem appears and inflicts the death timer effect on them.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Perhaps owing to its shounen roots, there are very few female characters. ''Jump Ultimate Stars'', counting the help koma, has 68 female characters out of over 300 (and that's counting characters who share koma sets), which amounts to around 20% of the total. And, out of the 55 fighters, we have nine (16% total): [[Dr. Slump|Arale]], [[Shaman King|Anna]], [[Black Cat (manga)|Eve]], [[Gintama|Kagura]], [[D.Gray-man|Lenalee]], [[One Piece|Nami, Robin]], [[Bleach|Rukia]] and [[Naruto|Sakura]].
** The ''Ichigo 100%'' and ''I"s'' koma sets somewhat avert this, since their character roster combined is 90% female (only two characters in the former are male).
* [[Spam Attack]]
* [[Speech Bubbles]]: Noteworthy in that some of them, like [[Fist of the North Star|Kenshiro's]] [[Asskicking Pose|"You're Already Dead/Omae wa mou shinde iru"]] speech, can affect your opponents.
* [[Standard Status Effects]]: Poison, Burn, Paralyze, Blindness, Confused, Frozen, Slow, Doom.
* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Each player and support character is categorized into three types: Strength (red), Humor (yellow)
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: The quiz questions about the manga in question in ''Jump Ultimate Stars''
* [[Wall Jump]] Again, some characters have this as an innate ability and anyone can have it given the right koma.
* [[Written Sound Effect]]: It's a game about ''manga''. What do you expect?
