One Piece Kaizoku Musou 3 [PS3/PS4/PSVita]

[Rukusho]

@Kaimon:

I hope they added Coup de Burst to TS Franky's moveset

I agree we also should have Chopper monster point for a few secs like Kaizoku Musou 1.

[Omega Chikara]

This is just a demo right?

[thaihoa91]

@Omega:

This is just a demo right?

Yeah, it's a demo :D

[Rivaille]

@MasterKingJC:

Not a perfect translation, but it's :

"Straw Hat Pirates"
"Revolutionary Army"
"Marines"
"Super Rookies"
"Royal Shichibukai"

Thanks mate

@Rukusho:

Eh, I don't mind MC only being out for half a second, though I do hope Chopper (and most of the cast) gets buffed, it's not as fun using the mid-tiers on higher difficulties due to how much longer they take to get kills

"Marines"
"Super Rookies"
"Royal Shichibukai"

Makes me wonder what section they put Perona under, unless they are going to add a Misc. section later.
This gives me hope for other characters though. Especially the Super Rookies. At least add Kidd and I'll be happy.

Straw Hats:
Obviously all the Straw Hats.
I could see Vivi being put in this section.

Revolutionary Army:
Sabo of course.
Ivankov, Koala, Hack and Inazuma are all fine by me. Though, Ivankov's the only one who sticks out for me as full playable potential.

Marines:
We already have plenty playable. Fuji of course.
The other admirals, Kizaru and Akainu.
Aokiji may or may not be here.
Smoker, Tashigi, Garp, Sentomaru, Morgan.

Super Rookies:
Law and Kidd definitely should be here.
I can see Hawkins, Bonney, Apoo or Drake making the cut.
Personally, I'd love to play as Apoo.

Royal Shichibukai:
Have them all in, we just need Moriah now.

Are support characters going to be included on this list?

Also, I do feel like there will be other categories. Mainly because:

Ace, Enel, Perona, Whitebeard and Marco. I can't see them taking out any characters.

Blackbeard also must be in, but he could fit under Shichibukai along with Jinbe if they wanted to do that.

Seeing Doffy's attacks in sequence like this makes the 'Ito' puns on his technique's name clearly heard, lol. His movement looks so badass, I love it~ And I'm glad they put Injection Shot and Radio Knife, I can finally hear Law's voice pronouncing it <3 Can't wait to play the game~

i honestly see them adding a pirate or misc category for the last ones. I don't think supports will appear, maybe boss only characters. Barto and cavendish could be under super rookies as well

[Supernova]

Doflamingo seems like the next Enel, and everyone is going to play as him.

[Kaimon]

Did everyone abuse Eneru in PW2 co-op that much? Whenever I teamed up with randoms online results were pretty varied, even seen a good chunk of people using the Pre-Skip SHs

@black-leg:

Probably, and true. Bartolomeo and Cavendish could be in.
I can't imagine we only get one more super rookie though.
If that were the case, I'd think they'd just put them in the Misc category and make Law a Shichibukai.

I'd say this still definitely at least increases Kidd's chances.

I would think it confirms kidd seeing as he is the next big supernova. Then again you have the revolutionaries category and unless they put Kuma and Ivankov in that category i don't know how many new characters it would add. Would love Koala but i doubt it. Assuming they do the former that would mean at least 3 for a category.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Do we know if pre-timeskip smoke ris a new character or just a costume?

[Omega Chikara]

@Kaimon:

Same, I only ever see Pre-Timeskip Strawhats, mostly Sanji

[OneKey]

I didn't know Eneru was that popular. Then again, I barely played PW2 online.

So, I'm guessing we'll be getting information pretty much every single week. I'm waiting for you, Barto-sama!

[diogosnt]

We didnt get new info this week so… not every week

[Zharrat]

I do not think Kidd will be a playable character. I think supernovas section is oriented for people like Cavendish, Bartolomeo & Caribo

We don't know well the powers and habilities of the "original" rookies (Bonney, Urouge, Bege, etc…).

[black-leg jex]

You say that but kidd and drake have been playable before in one piece games. We've also seen just as many fights with them as we have garp and he is playable

[Zharrat]

But the importance of Kidd and Drake in the sagas that covers Kaizoku Musou 3 is practically nil (except Shabaody). In my opinion, the developers are going to reserve characters to future games of the franchise. Maybe we could see those characters as support but i doubt as playable. In any case i would love to play them.

[OneKey]

@diogosnt:

We did get short gameplay clips though, that counts.

[Kiera]

When I play PW 2 Online I barely see Enel, love him to play but its online a good variety of Characters, Hancock seems to be the most famous around PirateKings with High Points.

Doflamingo Gameplay just looks awesome, so good. Will be my new Main after Hancock and Enel. Can't wait for March and hope they will announce the Treasure Box soon so I can preorder.

[Rukusho]

When first released i remember Enel and Whitebeard dominating always at the top of online scoreboard.

I agree that we don't really know enough about the original rookies to make them fully playable. And that it could very well just be for Bartolomeo, Cavendish & Caribou.
Barty having the best chances of the three of them. And Caribou being more of a unlikely candidate.

However, I'd say we definitely know enough about Kidd to give him a moveset.
We've seen him use his magnetism to draw metal in and repel it.
I feel like they could make a moveset just on his magnetism. And it would make sense to be able to play as him in Sabaody.

Can't argue against this. Their roles have been very minor to this point. They're obviously going to be big at some point, but right now, there's not all that much to work with in story or moves for them. I'd still love to see them starting to be added in though. I'd just say Kidd is the main one to add now. Though I'd love to play as Apoo eventually.

If Sabaody will be covered and Law will be present, then Kid will probably too.

[Supernova]

Law's popularity and importance outclasses Kidd in every way imaginable for now.

One being in doesn't mean the other will be in.

[King Cannon]

@Supernova:

In Sabaody, they were equal. And they will probably need that scene with them if they plan to recreate arcs.

[Hinscher]

@King:

On Usopp's home island kuro was the most popular villian in the entire series. Why the hell hasn't he been in every single game ever made.

Doesn't matter how popular someone was in the past. Right now Law's popularity pretty much cements him in all games. Kidd not so much.

[The Grim Heaper]

I think Kidd has a good chance of showing up, playable or not. He's in the top 20 on the newest popularity poll, showing that he's at least got a decent fanbase. The only two characters above him that aren't in the game already are Bartolomeo and Shanks(not counting him yet until we see him as a NPC or playable).

I know he's not amazingly important in the series(yet), but the scene where the 3 big supernova are fighting Marines outside the Auction House seems like something KT/Omega Force would put in due to how easy it would be to incorporate. Besides, there were a few curveball choices with the cast of PW2, so they could always do the same here.

[Maikeru Shinigami]

Well, there's really only so many characters to add that MUST be in the game. And honestly, they've already added most/all of the ones I would say have to be in. So, at that point, it becomes a matter of who should be in, who makes the game feel more complete and who has the most potential.

I would say Kidd should definitely at least be being discussed.

[puffing.cinema]

I surely disagree, Mr.Shinigami. Until now, we have no sign of anyone of note in Phunk Hazard…Ceaser Clown, Vergo, Monet...none of them are confirmed.

Skypie...should it rest solely on Enel? None of the Priets? Wiper?

Fishman Island without VanDerDecken?

I might be fooling myself, but I'm waiting for a far bigger roost - since they are going with the ones of Alvida, Tashigi and such.

[Galaxy 9000]

@puffing.cinema:

That's because the scans seem to be going in arc order. I'm sure we'll see some of those later down the line.

[MasterKingJC]

My playable character wish list:
Drum: Wapol
Alabasta: Mr. 1, Miss Doublefinger, Mr. 2, Mr. 3, Vivi
Skypiea: Wiper, Shura, Ohm, Gedatsu, Satori
Davy Back: Foxy
Enies Lobby: Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, Kalifa, Fukurou, Kumadori, Blueno
Thriller Bark: Moria, Absalom, Ryuma
Saobody: Kid, Apoo, Rayleigh
Impel Down: Magellan, Hannyabal, Ivankov
Fishman Island: Hody
Punk Hazard: Caesar, Monet, Vergo, Kinemon
Dressrosa: Bellamy, Burgess, Bartolomeo, Cavendish, Chinjao, Baby 5, Diamante, Pica, Trebol

Hmmm. Maybe I'm being too optimistic.

I'm hoping for most of these characters as bosses, personally. But I definitely want a playable Moria. I hope crew episodes come back, too, most of my PW2 playtime is in those stages alone

[Hasumi_Emi]

I'd love to see Kaku as a playable character. Would be awesomely hilarious to run around swinging my giant giraffe neck around knocking people over. XD

Ivankov as a playable would be pretty interesting, too, though I forget already. Does he have much in the way of attacks besides the winking? And making his head freaking massive? Ah! Special attack! Smash everyone in the area by getting a huge head and falling over.

You're being impossibly optimistic. Some of them might have a chance on a future Kaizoku Musou 7, though by that time there'll be so many new characters they'll get top priority over any character of your list.

There are characters with a better chance if they reappear in the future though, like Mr.1 with Croco and Mr.3 with Buggy, or Wapol if he appears at the Reverie, CP9 not named Lucci if they reappear as shadow brokers as its been speculated, Buff Moria when his due time comes, etc. . .though even when Impel Down and Marinefors were very, very recent, someone as relevant as Mr.2 was shafted not once, but TWICE by the Gigant Battle developers, plus Moria and Mr.3.

Now, the "main" ones will probably appear this or the next instalment: Lucci, Magellan, Hody, Caesar and Barto and/or Cavendish.

Both Kaku and Ivankov have been playable in the past. Kaku I think got a half-assed moveset, but Ivankov got a complete one on Gigant Battle 1 and 2. Newkama Kenpo and lots of winks, basically.

[MajinArekkusu]

I know they can't put all of the cp9 members in there for example, but at least lucci and khalifa would be nice, maybe they also could include kaku.

How many characters where in dynasty warriors 3?

[black-leg jex]

41 characters in dynasty warriors 3

You're probably right. I may have gotten too carried away. There's a better chance that most of them could be slotted as support characters.

PW1 had 13 playable characters, then PW2 had 37 playable characters if you count the 2 years ago Strawhats. I'm expecting at the very last a roster of 50+ playable characters.

[joesephes]

I wouldn't be surprised if the roster does reach that number, or even 60+ for that matter.

[Maikeru Shinigami]

I'd be thoroughly surprised if it's under 50. My guess was 55-65.

New Gameplay!

[Rivaille]

There is also a update (for the character) on the official website:
-2 Mugiwaras (Nami and Usopp)
-2 Shishibukai (Buggy and Mihawk)
-2 Marines (Smoker and Tashigi)

Maybe next week we will have 2 revolutionaries and 2 supernovaes

[cloudrivera]

I bought the first game on PS3 a while back. I thought it was alright but I hated playing as the Strawhats. Did the second one greatly improve the gameplay? Is this one going to as well?

[Yobiyopi]

The recent gameplay trailers of Mihawk and Buggy are literally the same as PW2

[MasterKingJC]

@Kaimon:

New Gameplay!

http://gematsu.com/2015/01/one-piece-pirate-warriors-3-gameplay-clips-smoker-baggy-tashigi-dracule

They've added some minor new moves to Smoker's moveset. Buggy and Mihawk are the same. Tashigi looks actually fun and versatile with a lot of aerial attacks to boot.
I noticed the rain on Loguetown looks great. Wasn't expecting them to follow details that closely.

[Hasumi_Emi]

@maxterdexter:

Agreed. While her doing that to Franky at the end of Water 7/Enies Lobby was pretty damned hilarious, having it as a special move in the game just seems a bit much. She's only done it the one time that I know of so far in the series, so why is it suddenly a super awesome special move for her?

[Crossword]

Tashigi's video is kind of depressing. In the manga she should've been the technical fighter to Zoro's raw power than…what we got.

[puffing.cinema]

Buggy and Mihawk are the same. Smoker has a few new moves (and is it me or the fodder attacked by the Moku Moku no Mi get smoked now? And, once smoked, they fall slower than the non-smoked kind?) and now we have Tashigui…I dig the aerial combos, let me make this clear, but I would put Miss Double Fingers/Kalifa/Monet over her without even blink. I think that, like Alvida, she only has one named attack.

[redon]

New Jump scan, thanks sandman. HQ version later.
