    I don't know what's going on. In fact, I played one or two matches and had to stop because I was so genuinely confused on what was happening. All I know is a bunch of grown men were screaming at me in Japanese, send help.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hate this game more than ever now. Not much of an update for an American release. No new characters. I always wanted to main Hiei. I always liked Hiei in Yuyu-Hakusho!: Badass character, Badass fighting style, Badass vocie, can't get any better than Gai-shishioh. But what disappoints me the most is: Hiei's moveset was sloppily-made and CLEARLY rushed. His is the only moveset where his ground Squarechain makes him float in the air. And in the original Jstars this square chain would constantly knocked in a couple hits before breezing through the enemy and flying way past them, making the attack useless. his square~triangle, square,square~triangle and Dash square are ALL the same move. a horizontal slash to the left. same reaction hit, identical damage, his dash square just covers some more range on his left and right sides. His neutral circle attack (Ja Ou Ensatsu-ken) was only used ONCE in the show and never used again. why it was added is beyond me. And above all else his special (Ja Ou Ensatsu: Kokuryuu-ha) is the most useless piece of garbage. It has the most fakest juggling and it weak as hell and takes up so much time that you can't do a second special in one victory burst. You can absorb the dragon but to me is also useless consider the so-called enhancements aren't that much from when he takes off his bandages from his R1+X. On the other hand though, Himura Kenshin's moveset is flawless. The onyl character I'm remotely decent with is Vegeta and his normal attacks are as bland as can be. And Namco has yet to add DLC or patches. This game's only redeemign factor is having Kenshin in it. Nothing more nothing less. IT's also insulting that Namco-bandai chose to localize this and not Extreme vs full boost which definitely deserves a localization MORE than this game.… Expand

    Another Bandai Namco fighting game. Fun for local multiplayer but that's about it. The story is slow, boring and feels very dull. Completing the game to 100% took HOURS of mindless, repetitive grinding. You also need to complete the previously mentioned story game 4 times in order to get the platinum. Honestly I would not recommend it unless you don't mind spending tons of hours of yourAnother Bandai Namco fighting game. Fun for local multiplayer but that's about it.

    If you’re not arguing with your friends over whether Naruto would beat Goku and you’re not praying for the fourth season of “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” there’s absolutely no reason for you to care about this really weak fighting game. [09/2015, p.63]

    When it goes the way you want, though, Victory VS is a bold, enjoyable mess. [Sept 2015, p.94]

    Very young and very undemanding fans of shōnen manga may get a fleeting kick out of J-Stars Victory VS+, but there’s too much cheaper (and superior) competition currently available across all platforms to warrant a half-hearted recommendation.
