Sort of. It's obligatory to make a team of characters in a limit number of spaces available. There three type of characters, which are the ones I described and it's obligatory to have at least one of each type in your team. Each character have different panels to put in the spaces. Depending on how many spaces they use, the support ones only use one space, the summon ones ocuppy 2-3 spaces, and the playable ones a 4-8. Each summon have two different versions of themselves, depending on the panel number, which affects their effect.
For example, 2 panel Sanji from One Piece etands with a cake that player must reach to recover health, while his 3 panel version appears to make some kicks.
Playable characters have also a multitude of panels, wich doesn't affect much in their playstyle but gives them more health and different specials. Example, Tsuna can use the Dying Will Mode as his 4-panel especial to make a fist on the ground, while his 6-panel version uses the Hyper Dying Will Mode to grab the opponent and repeatdly punch him/her in the air. Some panels affect the appearance of the character and so their gamplay, like 7-8 panel Naruto who surrounds himself in the 9 Tailed Fox chakra; he becomes slower, running in all fours and attacks using the fox powers.
There's also the rock-paper-scissors thing. Each playable character have different types which can be distinguished by the color on the background of their pic next to their health bar. The types are power (red), knowledge (green) and comedy (yellow). Power is strong against knowledge, knowledge is strong comedy and comedy is strong against power.
For example, Seiya is a power charcter, which makes him strong against Yugi who is knowledge type. However, Yugi has advantage against the comedy type Trunks, which in turn is stronger against Seiya.
Zelda is getting its first open world game.
