Jump Ultimate Stars One Piece Tiers

Mugiwara_maniac

This thread is dedicated to people making what they believe is the correct tier for One Piece Characters in Jump Ultimate Stars. Here's my list according to how well I use these characters alone and with help komas.

1. Monkey D. Luffy 8 koma: with pull back help koma from Jo-Jo's Bizzare adventure. This guy's amazing especially with his SELECT move. The kombo I use with the help koma from above deals ensane amounts of damage and is easily pulled off. Luffy doesn't even need to use specials either. He's just plain good!Death match rating= 5/5

2. Nico Robin 5 Koma: She could have made first if it wasn't for her lack of being able to dominate the stage like Luffy. Her up Special is one oof the best supers around! She is different therefore lots of people don't know what to expect. Her gaurd break may be the best in the entire game as well. It has good range and it works even if yor hit while using it. She also seems to get a special bar back faster than anyone I ever playedwith so she never seems to run out which is good because she uses it to autogaurd. Overall ico Robin is insanely under rated.Death match rating=4/5

3. Sanji 5 koma: this guy is insanely good! He combos like there's no tomorrow. I always end his combos with his up special confusing move at the edge. Almost no one recovers frm that. He can also combo from one special to the next really easily. Most people don't expect it and let their gaurd down. Death match rating=5/5

4. Roronoa Zoro 4 5 and 6 koma: He's all good! He is really powerful, has quick moves, and can easily ring out. His 5 Koma is by far the best if you can controll his counter move well. It does a sh*@ load of damage and it knocks them way WAY back. death match rating=3/5

5. Nami 4 koma: She is almost cheap, but I can't use her the way others do. I personally like using 6 koma Nami with 3 koma zoro. He kcocks the opponent above Nami and she uses her up special to deal 126 damage total to power and knowledge types (more to Laghter) This combo also works the exact same way with 6 koma Nico Robin.death match rating=1/5

6. Franky 5 koma: Poor Franky. Why did they make your hits so week when they should be the strongest of the bunch. He's slow and weak, but his combos are quite exellent! I personally find him like an impenetrable Tank. I just keep poking with his gun finger untill they get close and I combo then use that Jo Jo bring back guy (that also gives Franky a boost) to bring them back as I power up his Coup de Ventand blast them away. I like usine him so much better than Nami and I probably do use him better, but there would be an uprising if Nami was at the bottom when a lot of you will put her on top. Death match rating=4/5

There's my choises. You can comment on them and/or make your own list!

I don't think Franky is that bad. He's not really the most offensive character… Ahaha, that's a funny way to put it. He sucks ass in Suddden Death, though.

Robin is underrated, seriously. Easy Ring-Outs due to her trip move. I can't begin to tell you how many times I'm just standing there and off I go. No returning, no guarding, no jumping, it's just you watching your fall. Her aerials aren't that bad, either, IMO. She'd make a great Sneak Attack character.

And yeah, Gear 3 Luffy isn't used as much as Gear 2 Luffy because space-wise, Gear 2 is much more convenient, and has an easy ring out special. But I can pull off a combo with Gear 3 Luffy that does a good 200 damage and guardbreaks everyone under 8 koma. People need to use their heads more…

AND AS FOR YOU…

We need to fight sometime. It's hard to find Luffy users online.

I disagree with you saying Franky sucks in sudden Death. If you want to fight me here's my friend code 098878724439.

Well, the B-Up+Y-B Combo is good for ring outs, but everything he does demands Soda to kick serious ass.

And Soda charging takes a while.

And mah FC is the Friend Code Thread.

Robin is only under-rated due to her low health like most female playable characters in JUS.

Franky isn't exactly bad, either, it's how you use him, I'm not bad with him, but I've yet to use him online… where the real test will begin. =/

And is this thread just OP exclusive? Considering the whole game has more than just OP characters and could be extended... but eh.

The Iceman

Six block Luffy is what I use the most.

Zulen

6th Luffy has a godly special. But Warp Dash and speed are just too tempting.

5th Koma Luffy kicks ass as well. Both of his specials are great (Golden Rifle is great to follow up an attack/Guard Break/Ring Out/Break Walls while his up Special clears crowds and can combo). Still somewhat coincidental, though.

Perhaps we can make a list of combos of our characters? In this thread to be on topic, One Piece of course.

Zulen

Gear 3 can be good to combo. Luffy's Neutral Y holds the opponent for quite a while, so you can do any damage inducing combo, or time consuming ones, and then following up with Gigant Gatling.

Piccolo works for plain strageties.

I use Mello to hold people rather, and then once I hit with Gigant Gatling, I can suck 'em up with Kagura's 3rd. Then once she spits 'em out, I do a Gigant Axe or repeat Neutral Y and Mello. Not the best, but one of the flashiest.

Any more…?

Oh, that's right.

Tsuchirinhon

Gohn used Franky.

Robin sucks because she's Knowledge, which is bad since most online players use Power.

The Iceman

I use a six block Luffy and five block hiei combo to annihilate my opponets.

Tsuchirinhon

Oh, and Gohn's Franky deck [which was his only deck, really] was a solo deck. Focused on just pumping the fuck out of Franky with Helper Koma and two Healing Koma.

I like 6-Koma Luffy the best, mostly because Afro Gatling Gun is amazing and advances like a demon, but he's also the biggest Luffy that gets supported by Shanks, who gives a special bar. I usually throw in Kanda so he can break guarding people caught in the attack. I liked Zoro's moveset from Jump Superstars better then Ultimate Stars'.

I like Sanji the best out of the OP characters. You can mix it up with Kanda and Mouton Shoot. This is a rare case where I value Kanda over Anna for guard breaking because Kanda makes them belly up into Sanji's combos, where as Anna would throw them all over the place. That and if you do it early, you can throwing something like that one 2-Koma person who seals supports, so it can ringout and stuff. 5-Koma Sanji's the best, but Mouton Shoot is so easily blocked you almost have to throw in supports to compliment the attack, or else his 6 is better.

My favorite decks involving OP character are Allen/Sanji and Yoh/Zoro (lazy swordsman theme FTW). Most damaging combo I've ever done (A little over 200) was with non-OP characters, I'll ignore it for now…

Robin has very few combos, and if she has more, I probably don't know it then. Also, Franky rocks, man. His single combo can be awesome on the edge.

B, Up+B, Y… B, Up+B, Y...

Zoro and Sanji are ring-out kings. Not the best(damn you Lenalee!), but 4-koma Sanji has a ridiculous special that when timed right is a guaranteed ring-out(barring support attacks, that is). Also, Zoro doesn't need specials. In fact, he only needs a single button.

Y, Y, Y, Y, fall, asshole!... Y, Y, Y...

I don't have those big Fancy Combos. Yeah, I know Trunks can combo into anything.

Sanji's 6 Koma:
Requirement:6 Koma(Duh) 3/4 special bars, and Trunks 3 Koma.
Use Up+X from afar (works better with the ladies around Sanji's Koma)
Then B, Forward B, Y
Then push X, a little while before Sanji performs Mouton Shot, use that wait time to pull out Trunks. Then if you could, use Trunks again on him in the air after Sanji's Mouton Shot.

Luffy 5 Koma:
Requirements:5 Koma Luffy, 1 special bar,
B,Up+B,Up+X

Nami 6 Koma:
Requirements:6 Koma Nami, 2 specials, Trunks 3 Koma
Hold X to it's fullest, when the opponent comes near, use Trunks then release X. Big obvious Con.
