For the unfamiliar, Kuroko No Basket is one of the anime legends of yesteryear that revolved entirely around the sport of basketball.

Due to such a pedigree, fans of the series have remained quite loyal and love it to this very day.
This becomes even more clear when you realize that Japanese developers are still adapting it into a game form with Kuroko’s Basketball Street Rivals. And this adaptation is no simple cash-in on the IP, as the gameplay has evidently shown us. Kuroko’s Basketball Street Rivals displays some gorgeous 3D visuals within a real-time basketball game, allowing you to swap control from one character to another in a 3v3 match format.
Each of these characters will have different and unique skills that will further the odds in your favour, and those can range from a number of things. Some examples are certain characters who may lessen the odds that a pass to their teammate misses, while another character might be better at landing shots on the basket itself. This allows some strategic team building that will be crucial to your team’s success overall.
