I. Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My second FAQ, based on my favorite character of all time, Sanji the Cook!
Yeah, he's a cook, but a cook who destroys everything with his legs/feet.
Not much more to say after that I mean...He owns. Yeah...that's pretty much
it.
Hopefully this will bring more people to start playing Sanji because he
seems to be underrated.

II. Controls
____________________________________________________________________________
------------------------------
D-Pad: Basic Movement/Blocking
------------------------------
Simply pressing Left or Right on the D-Pad causes you to walk/run in that
direction. However, new in Jump! Ultimate Stars is Dashing, which involves
double tapping Left or Right to 'Dash' in that direction.
Pressing Down on the D-Pad button causes you to Guard, or Block to negate
battle damage. Excluding Guard Break and damage that'll break through your
Guard, since you will steadily start blinking red to the point your guard will
break on its own. It will also allow you to drop down from platforms if used
in combination with the A button. Same goes for Fast-falling or Jump Cancel.
Pressing Up on the D-Pad on its own will do nothing at all. However using the
Up button in combination with other buttons will cause you to do different
moves than the normal. Such as the second Special (Up+X) or a different B/Y
technique.
-----------------
A Button: Jumping
-----------------
The only non-attacking button is the A Button on the D-Pad, it's merely used
for jumping. However, jumping is a very vital button to surviving and for
creating unexpected strategies. Whether to escape, chase someone, bypass the
effect of Slow Down, or to use an aerial attack.
----------------------
B Button: Weak Attacks
----------------------
Attacks that are weaker, but faster than it's counterpart. Often spammable,
but not always. The B button is capable of being canceled into either Y or
Forward B.
------------------------
Y Button: Medium Attacks
------------------------
Attacks that are stronger, but slower than it's counterpart. Usually capable
of being cancelled into a Forward Y.
-------------------------
X Button: Special Attacks
-------------------------
The most Damaging type of attacks, Special Attacks. Sometimes extremely quick,
and sometimes extremely slow. Utilizing the X buttons in battle is an
important key to racking up massive damage or causing moves that would fit
into the 'special' category, such as healing or causing status effects.
Each Special Attack uses up one SP Bar which lies under your HP Bar. Each
Special Attack costs 1 bar, which you can check by looking at the number to
the right end of the Bar.
----------------
L and R Buttons:
----------------
Unlike Jump! Superstars, these weapons are no longer used to guard. These
buttons are capable of(not a necessity) being assigned to Support and Battle
Koma. These can be used for quick usage of Supports, switching characters, or
using the character's tap attack.(The attack launched when the character is
tapped while already on the field.)
_______________________________________________________________________________
II. Terminology
_______________________________________________________________________________
----
Koma
----
Koma are basically different-sized squares used in Manga. At first you only
start off with a few Koma, but as you go on you will acquire more. At first
they will start off as only Help Koma, and will advance no further until you
actually go out and 'evolve' them by using gems. You cannot evolve it without
enough gems. These are used to make your decks, which are in a 20-Koma Block
that is set up in a 4(Vertical) by 5(Horizontal)-Koma Page. You will need at
least one of each type of Koma in your Deck for it to be useable.
Koma are then categorized, or broken as so:
1-Koma : Help Koma. The starting form of Koma you get which basically, 'Help'
your Deck, whether a certain character, or the whole thing. When set
on the page, they either have arrows or not, if they do, the arrows
only work if pointing at a Battle Koma, otherwise they do nothing.
If it does not have an arrow it's effect is either negated or it
increases your SP(Blue Bar under J-Soul(HP)) Bar by 1.
2-3 Koma : Support Koma. These Koma are basically, Koma that support you.
They are summoned to the field when tapped(or used by L/R) and can
support you, such as damaging enemies, or healing you. The downside
is they cost one SP Bar and they can be destroyed before their
effect is even activated. Thus wasting an SP Bar.
4-8 Koma : Battle Koma. These are the characters you fight with with no real
restrictions. These are the guys who you want to keep alive, and can
be used throughout the whole battle(unless they die).
There are three types of Koma Affinities Power, Knowledge, and Laughter, which
go in a circle as to what beats what in the order I put it, or
Power --> Knowledge --> Laughter --> Power etc.
The damage dealt to its weakness is 1.5 times its original damage.
To this we'll want to watch out for Laughter characters unless you're using
Sanji's Alternate 5-Koma, which IS Laughter, because all of Sanji's other
Koma are all Power-based.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Who is Sanji?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanji is at first, a cook at a "Restaurant on the Seas" which is basically a
boat-made-restaurant. Also like all Anime/Manga/Games these days and their
generic characters, Sanji is the womanizer of the group. You know what I'm
talking about. He's the Folgore of Konjiki no Gash(Bell)!! The Irm/Tasuku of
Super Robot Wars/Taisen. The Zelos of Tales of Symphonia and all that good
stuff. Except like most of them, the women think they're stupid. Folgore
excluded.
More on Sanji though, he's one of the crew's strongest members,
weaker than Luffy but either a little weaker or on par with Zoro. His style
of fighting would include nothing but using his feet as his weapons and
neglects using his hands in a fight because he is a cook, and a cook
must not stain his hands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Obtaining Sanji
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to unluck Sanji, you merely have to Collect more Stars than your
opponent before time runs out in Mission 2 of the One Piece Stage.
1 Koma: Collect more Stars than your opponent before time runs out in
Mission 2 in the One Piece Stage.
2 Koma: Pay 10 Red Gems, 40 Green Gems, and 5 White Gems.
3 Koma: Pay 70 Green Gems, 30 Yellow Gems, and 10 White Gems.
4 Koma: Pay 170 Green Gems, 30 Yellow Gems, and 10 White Gems.
5 Koma: Pay 100 Red Gems, 300 Green Gems, and 20 White Gems.
Alternate 5 Koma: Pay 200 Green Gems, 200 Yellow Gems, and 40 Blue Gems.
6 Block: Pay 400 Green Gems, 200 Yellow Gems, and 30 White Gems.
Totaling to - 110 Red Gems, 1180 Green Gems, 460 Yellow Gems, 40 Blue Gems, and
75 White Gems.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. Sanji's Moveset
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that touches him, even enemies.
Heals a small amount of HP.
Heals girl characters more.

2nd hit - 7 Damage to Power/Laughter (11 to Knowledge)
3rd hit - 7 Damage to Power/Laughter (10 to Knowledge)

4 Block (Battle Koma):
Command Damage Effect
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A + B 7 Sanji spins clockwise and kicks
in a downward direction.

in multiples of 2 until he hits
the ground/platform or is hit.

projectile.

hit and ends it with a 10 damage
kick.
D-Pad Up + X 6 x Number of Hits -1 + 10 Sanji leaps into the air forward
while spinning and heads straight
down going through any platforms
in the way. The damage
calculation is somewhat confusing
so I'll explain it better.
Basically, Sanji hits for 6 Damage
each hit, capable of doing more
damage the closer the opponent is,
and the further away from the
ground you are. However, once he
hits the ground the impact does 10
damage. Which is why you subtract
one from the number of hits
because of that impact hit and
add the 10 damage.

out an empty plate and spins
around a bit. When's he's done

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI. Strategy and Techniques
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Will update this section more as I get better with Sanji.
-----------
A) Tactics
-----------
Combo, Combo, Combo.
Try to Combo as much with Sanji as you can because he's very quick and
isn't extremely strong but he rack up some massive amounts of damage.
Also take advantage of his massive amounts of ringout potential if you must.
---------------------------
B) Strengths and Weaknesses
---------------------------
Strengths...Well for one he has lots of Comboing and Ringout Potential.
Also his Ultimate Action is very useful in Multiplayer battles. Whenever you
have more than one character the ones that aren't Sanji are severely damaged,
you can run off and keep using his Ultimate Action to heal them.
Also he's very fast, not just in attacking but maneuvering around the map as
well.
One of his strengths is also one of his normal moves. His shoe. Whenever
he does his Forward B and it acts as a projectile. That may only do 7
Damage, but if used right it can be used for some major mind games.
For example it may annoy them as you keep throwing your shoe and their
guard slowly whittles away so to try to escape they may either
A)Use a Support or
B)Take the hit and try to run or
C)Jump away
If it's A there's a slight chance you can kill it with your shoe, other
then that, dodge it, or take the hit, nonetheless they used one SP Bar.
If it's B, you'll have damaged them anyway so it's all good, also they're
stunned for a bit which you can either use to your advantage, or not
use at all.
And if it's C, it'll leave them airborne(unless there are lots of
platforms) to which they'll be defenseless until they hit the ground,
take advantage of that and use an X/Up X before they hit the ground.
Or if it's 4-Koma Sanji, even if there is a platform, use Up X.
In 3 ways you can weaken them from the little shoe, but some instances
are better than others.
Weaknesses. He's not very strong without his combos are sometimes blocked
with ease because his attacks have lots of delay as to which you'll have to
shorten them. Such as his basic combo, B, Forward B, Y, Forward Y. His
Forward B has a split second too much delay that the opponent can then block
his Y. Also his Forward Y has a crazy amount of lag, leaves you open for
attacks easily. To make up for this only use it when your opponent is hit
by your Y, if they block either don't do it or leave a short amount of
time between the Y and Forward Y to the point they stop their guard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VII. Koma Deck Support
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The characters that give Sanji an Ally Boost, and their abilities:
Nami (One Piece): Increases Special Gauge when breaking Item Boxes.
Zoro (One Piece) : Decreases Damage taken from Swords.
Bianchi (Kaketekyo Hitman REBORN!): Gain more Health from Food.
Abilities I would recommend for Sanji:
Help: Examples:
Triple Jump Eve(Black Cat)
Air Dash Sena (Eyeshield 21)
Wall Jump Lenalee (D.Gray-man)
Increase Max Special Gauge by 1 Zangetsu (Bleach)
Support:
Stunning Shun (Saint Seiya)
Freezing Toushirou (Bleach)
Guard Sealing CrystalBoy (Space Adventure Cobra)
Guard Breaking Kanda (D.Gray-man)
Holding Hibari (Katekyo Hitman REBORN!)
Both:
Female Koma Nami (One Piece)
Reasons :
Triple Jump - For the Triple Jump, it's very useful for maneuvering quickly when
you don't want to use your Y, as well as getting back on ledges
quicker.
Air Dash - Almost as useful as the Triple Jump, in some cases, even more. It
allows you to dash in the air which can help getting to some places
very quickly, and dodging attacks when normal jumping is too slow.
Wall Jump - Not very useful for anything other than getting back on the ledge,
but getting on the ledge is good.
Increase Max Special Gauge by 1 - If you have any open slots that you aren't
using, putting these in there instead of
random stuff, or nothing at all is like 10
times better.
Stunning - Can stop the opponent long enough to catch them in an attack to
ring them out or get caught in a combo.
Freezing - Not as long as Stun, but sometimes it's easier to hit with the
supports. (Read Stun reasoning)
Guard Sealing - Usually when people are Guard Sealed, they'll still try to block
and be left wide open. Easy targets.
Guard Breaking - Damages the opponent while breaking their guard, and if timed
right you can catch them before they hit the ground in a
combo.
Holding - People like Hibari who grabs the opponent and drops them in the air
gives you perfect chances to take them to the edge so you can ring
them out. Wouldn't recommend for 6-Koma Sanji.
Female Koma : Why female Koma? Well I've been talking about this alot, but
his 5-/6-Koma's Up X's can give them the Heart Status effect
which increases their damage for each female character in the
deck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VII. Koma Opinions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically conditions I'd prefer for usage of Sanji's Koma.
4-Koma - Sanji's 4-Koma isn't my personal choice, but he can still rack up
a ton of damage and has awesome ringout potential. Both his X and
his Up X can ringout opponents to the point where they'll call you
cheap...not so much as Lenalee's though. The reason is his X, the
final hit knocks the opponent downward where they skid on the
ground or...off the stage. Same with the impact hit of his Up X.
Also his Up X can be either extremely powerful, or extremely weak
depending on how close to the ground you are. Touching the ground,
weak, high above the ground strong, but the downfall is, even if
you are high above the ground, it's hard to actually capture your
opponent in the attack all the way 'til they hit the ground it
can rack up 50+ Damage for a 4-Koma. So whether you want a ringout
deck, or a Koma that can do pretty good damage for a small Koma,
4-Koma Sanji is a good choice.
5-Koma - Another good Ringout form of Sanji. Also has a Laughter form that
completely owns Power Characters. His Up X is an attack that
destroys your opponent in three ways. First, it does 30 Damage,
okay maybe that one doesn't destroy it but when it hits it knocks
the opponent far away from you giving awesome ringout potential
AND its third effect makes it even more terrifying...it confuses
them. Okay, maybe confusion isn't the most scary effect, but
that's a good thing, not many want to immunize it's effect.
Furthermore what makes it even more terrifying is the attack it
came with, when they're out of the field and they're confused,
it'll have come so quick they won't have time to remember they're
confused while trying to get back on the ledge, they might just
go the opposite way and kill themself. The downside is that his X
isn't as easy to combo into as his 4- and 6- Koma but it's still
okay since you can combo it into other ways. 5-Koma's X also has
amazing ringout potential almost in the same way as 4-Koma's
except with 5-Koma's you can play mind games. Keep ringing them
out with Up X and they'll get used to it, then do it with X, and
BAM! They're dead. Also you can't use the Up X to ringout female
characters.
6-Koma - Oh yes, the Heart-Enducing Sanji. Godlike in Single Battle
Character decks...or so he was in Jump Superstars. Now his Heart
Status effect got nerfed...big time. It only lasts about 10
seconds, barely enough time to use it and pull of an X.
However he can still hold his own with the correct Koma. Even
when he's not in Single Battle Character decks he can still
kick tons of opponent butt. Hah, kick, get it? Cause he kicks.
Okay wasn't that funny. His X can combo his normal combo of
B, Forward B, Y again, lost from 5-Koma's. This one however
has less, a lot less, ringout potential because his final hit
on his X knocks them into the air, giving them much more
recovery time. He can rack up lots of damage though, so use
him if you don't want to ringout but still do lots of damage.
Short Summary :
4-Koma - Ringout Decks, Four 4-Koma Decks, almost any other deck.
5-Koma - Ringout Decks, almost any other deck except Four 4-Koma.
6-Koma - Single Character Deck, Any deck except Ringout and Four 4-Koma.

IX. Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanji like...owns. He's probably the best character in the existance of the
Manga world. Haha, yeah right. Truthfully though, Sanji is very good if used
correctly, not quite as easy as some characters, nor as strong, but he's very
fast and good at combos. Quite a beastly combination.
