Are you ready to fight with nose hair? J-Stars Victory Vs will give you the chance.

Bandai Namco has released a few new character-focused videos that show just how some of the more bizarre fighters pull off their moves.

Koro Sensei (Assassination Classroom)

He might not look it, but Koro Sensei is the fastest character in J-Stars Victory Vs. oro Sensei is not all that great at close combat, but he makes up for it with long distance attacks. That being said, if an enemy does get too close for comfort, Koro Sensei has a special move to send his opponent flying. This teacher’s impressive speed can be used to sidestep attacks or even rush to the aid of your partner during 2-on-2 battles.


Gon Freecss (Hunter X Hunter)

Gon Freecss is known for his Jyan Jyan Ken, a Japanese word play that combines the game Rock Paper Scissors with the word fist, which attacks in three different forms. The rock form produces a powerful close range attack, while the paper and scissor forms make for good long range attacks. Perhaps even more important than his Jyan Jyan Ken is Gon’s ability to use his spirit to create a protective barrier. The barrier can only maintained for so long, so you have to time it just right.


Luckyman (Tottemo! Luckyman)

Luckyman might just be one of the strangest fighters yet. As his name suggests, Luckyman relies on luck to land his special attacks. Whether you have luck or not is displayed on your shirt. Bright yellow if you are feeling lucky, white if not. Fortunately for you, you can make your own luck in this game by connecting enough strings of attacks. If you are able to land several blows in a row, you will build up your luck. If you miss, then you will be out of luck and unable to use your special attacks. Punching your opponent isn’t the only way to obtain luck though. Luckyman can charge his luck, but in doing so he lowers his guard for an extended period of time. You will need to build your up your luck so you can pull off the devastating Lucky Beam.


Bobobo (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo)

Bobobo will take on the competition with his signature gag-filled fighting style. Bobobo can wrap opponents up with his nose hair and fling them around the arena like a rag doll. He can even use his partner, Don Patch, for some some quick 2-on-1 attacks. He is great for close to mid-range fighting and even has a rather explosive long distance attack. Bobobo’s attacks may be filled with jokes, but he appears to be a rather competent fighter.
