I might have to pick this one up when it comes around. More characters, more series, better experiences in gameplay (including little things like grabbing edges and destroying floors), and (best of all) Wi-Fi online capabilities could make this one of the best fighting games for the DS.
That, and I just want to try out Gear 2nd Luffy and Franky... xD

Oh yeah, a friend of mine showed me an import version that he was playing last year. Looked pretty cool. If only I could bring myself to drop $130 for a DS...
If this post seems too utterly absurd or ridiculous to be taken seriously, don't.

I knew about it for awhile on another forum, but I decided some more should know. =p
I have a link to more info (with pics and such), but like I said, it's on another forum (you can PM me if you want a link).
There's also several older SJ series that are apparently making an appearance in this one (*crosses fingers* Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman...).

That works. Too bad Usopp is just support again (or appears to be), but with the look of the scans, we may at least see the long-nosed hero supporting a certain mask and giant slingshot. Franky being playable makes it up in that aspect, though.
It always seemed a bit odd to make Anna (SK) playable, though. Seems like there would be plenty of other options they could choose from (Hao, anyone?).
Some of the characters also seem to be featured in their later arcs. As I mentioned, the Strawhats are now supporting their Enies Lobby suits and the Naruto cast all seem to be post-three year skip (though that might mean we'll be seeing Sasuke in... that suit... >_>; ).

I would have expected Ren or Horohoro before Anna, but still...XD Anna kicks butt, so it's all good.
D: Too bad Rabi isn't confirmed. But maybe they'll put in some of Allen's new Innocence, instead. 8D Yes, that would be very good.
And Train wasn't playable in the first one? o3o that's kinda weird...

Yeah, which is REALLY odd. Considering that TRAIN is the main character of black cat. (Well Train and Sven in the manga I think)

Not really.
Eve is one of the most popular characters in Black Cat. And since Black Cat is nowhere near as popular as a large number of the other Jump series, when they decided to add in a Black Cat battle character, they chose Eve. That's what I figure happened anyway.
Popularity plays a huge factor in this. This is likely why Renji and Toshiro are playable this time around...

Yeah, it's region-free.
Why do you think so many people outside Japan/Asia were able to import the first one?

So, apparently, Myoti has gotton his wish:
http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/9426/viploader307411kx4.jpg
Kinnikuman in in. Kinnikuman is playable and Robin Mask, Terryman, Ramenman, and Buffoloman are in as supports.
Josuke and Gio from Jojo are in as supports.
Yugi has Buster Blader now and Kaiba is apparently in as at least a support.

Stuff like DBZ, Dr. Slump, and Kochikame are all old series, and they made it in. Shaman King was canceled and it made it in as well. =p

This is all true(although Shaman King I would consider more of an exception as it suddenly ends after 32 volumes right before what should have been the final battle or so.)
However, Zombie Powder only lasted 4 volumes before it was canned by the Jump editors. There's lots of titles that suffer this fate.
Generally speaking, the titles they will go after to stick in JUS will be the 10+/20+/30+ volume popular series.
