I've found it, the fighting game with not one bit of soul in it, just an empty husk.

For real, as much as I dislike J-Stars Victory Vs+ for its jank gameplay, I have to admit the way it captures such a wide history of Jump with both popular and niche picks is rather impressive and at least gives the game some character, as well as accurately capturing their aesthetics. Jump Force might feel marginally better to play but the roster is bloated with characters from a handful of insanely popular franchises with only the odd pick here and there, all converted from their usual art-style into a very drab graphical style. It's hard not to look at this with cynicism, with no effort at artistry and only an attempt to print money by sticking big names on it.
