Get ready to join a team in Jump Force! The ultimate Spike Chunsoft manga crossover is finally available, featuring anime superstars from across the venerable 50-year history of Shonen Jump. Early in the Jump Force story, you need to choose between the Alpha, Beta and Gamma teams to advance.
It is not immediately obvious what this means, and what impact it will have on the game going forward, so we decided to gather this information to help you choose.
Jump Force: Team Alpha, Team Beta or Team Gamma? First of all, it seems that this is an entirely cosmetic decision. So don’t be too concerned if you just want to choose the team with your favorite characters.
Team Alpha
The Alpha team is led by Goku, with Piccolo’s support – both from Dragon Ball (Z). The lead is ended by Naruto’s Gaara of the Sand and Roronoa Zoro, the pirate hunter who uses a triple One Piece sword.
Team Beta
The Beta team is a little more based on One Piece, led by Monkey D. Luffy with the help of Sanji and Boa Han___. The leadership of the team is ended by Boruto, son of Naruto and star of his own series.
Team Gamma
The Gamma team is Naruto’s team, who leads with his longtime mentor Kakashi and best friend / worst friend Sasuke Uchiha. The team is comprised of One Piece Sabo and the future version of Dragon Ball Z Trunks.
What does your team really change?
Since you’ve already created your personalized character and chosen your basic hand-to-hand fighting style, there’s nothing you can change here.
What your team choice affects, however, is your starting skills. Your Avatar will inherit the initial skills of the leaders of each team. For example, if you choose Team Alpha, you will receive Goku’s Kamehameha, Zoro’s 1080 Pound Ground, Gaara of the Sand’s Tsunami and Piccolo’s Light Grenade.

However, immediately after choosing a team, you will be able to buy all the specials for all characters unlocked in the store.
Regardless of whether you choose Team Alpha, Beta or Gamma, Kamehameha and Rasengan are good because they have a good range and can be used at the end of Rush combos. Generally, the initial skill set you get is quite balanced – with a mix of different skills for different occasions.
How does your team affect the story?
Regardless of the chosen team, you can still interact with all members of the Jump Force catalog on a regular basis. You will go on missions with Naruto if you choose Team Alpha and save the world with Gaara if you’re on Team Gamma – so don’t worry if you don’t see your favorite characters again.
The overriding message here, then, is that you’re not stuck with anything too drastic with your team selection. You can choose tactically if you want the skill of a particular character, but you can always acquire it later.
