JJBA All-Star info thread.

In the half in hour I've found out about this game's existence, I've been collecting every bit of info I could. Because it seems like nobody is fucking hype enough for this shit. Which is a fucking god damn shame even if it is created by CC2.

Here's the confirmed characters list.
Jonathan
William Zep
Young Joesph
Wham
Abdul
Hol Horse
Polnareff
Kakayoin
Jotaro (Stardust)
Dio (Stardust)
Josuke
Oku

Mista
Hermes

Yoshikage Kira (Part Eight)
Caesar

DLC Characters

Kira (Part 4)

Most likely to be included
All the main good and bad guys from each part

Other info/Rumors

From what I read, stages have day/night versions they also have obstacles in them.
You can't use Vampires in the morning version of the stage, an exception to the rule will probably be Kars.
Right off the bat some characters are broken as shit.
You build up meter like every fighting game - There are two tier of super moves Heart Attacks and Great Heart Attacks (Ultimate move) that use up meter.
Runs at 30fps
This game doesn't use cel-shading but has it's own unique style which the creator or whoever the fuck calls "Jojo Shading Requiem". (Sounds like bullshit to me.)

You can't end a bracketed sentence with the number 8 on this site.

We should filter more things into smiles. Sora's name could instantly be filtered into a pimply cock.

Kira from Part 4 is also a DLC character.

Oh, wow. DLC characters before the game is even fucking out... and an important character to fucking boot, maaan.

Yeah, not a big fan of that myself, but I've got a job and I'll be able to afford importing the game from Japan by then, so I'm not gonna sweat it over dumb stuff like that.

Yeah, I suppose being submissive about these sort of things is really the way to go. It's not like bitching is going to change a company's sleezy ways of collecting extra cash.

Anyways why import the Japanese version when you can just import the PAL version? It'll have text you can actually understand.

Right, some Japanese company is gonna listen to me bitch about how I think putting a video game character up to be paid for is scummy when I should be spending my money on better things like food, clothes, and a car. Especially since to begin with JoJo getting a new video game is really rare since the series gets so little attention.

Also, because I'm not even sure if a PAL version's been confirmed yet. Let alone hoping for a US one might be asking for a bit too much even though Namco-Bandai patented the title in the US.

The MC from JoJoLion is also confirmed.

I'm excited, I just forget about everything

I'm lost. I thought Kira from Jojolion was the protagonist.

The main character of JoJoLion's real name is Yoshikage Kira, but the sidekick of it puts him with the Higashikata family since he has no memories and she's friends with them. He also reminds her of her dog Josuke, so he's named Josuke Higashikata by her, since neither of them know much about their own identity. It's weird, but that's Araki for you, JoJoLion's pretty cool after a while actually so I'd suggest giving it a read since Steel Ball Run finally got fully translated.

Oh yeah and he is named Josuke Higashikata in the game too, but his kanji's different from Part 4 Josuke's to differentiate them.

Wait, a pimply cock or a pimply cock?

Definitely a pimply cock.

A pimply cock?

Eeehh, sounds like shit. I don't think I'll bother with Jojolion, even the name is pretty fucking dumb.

The moves looks like FotNS and the game has a similar look to SSF4 I'm interested.

This game is gonna be crazy as hell. It's coming out in the UK supposedly, so you should definitely look into getting it. Especially since the only other JJBA fan I know is Baal. And he fucking wrecks everyone at fighting games.

Well after ken's rage 2 was the biggest disappointment i'll definitely give it a look. Might try and give the manga a look to see if i'm interested.

The first two parts are basically a complete rip off of FoTNS anyway, complete with exploding grunts and giant sized men with no necks. The major difference is the inclusion of vampires and the different effects of ripple power. It's why the creator switches the focus to stands during part three. Might be a bit long to go through the entire series so, I dunno, I would skip to whatever part looks most appealing to you and read from there. You don't really need to know anything of the previous parts.

I should get the HD version of the PS1 game to show my support and stuff. Besides, Not a lot else in the way of JoJo on PSN.

The second part felt much less like a FotNS rip off to me. Much more inventive, and with a better protagonist. I've never been able to bring myself to like part 3.

No, Part 2 is still very much FotNS inspired, right down to stupid villains who have their awful shit justified in the last second of their life and Joseph holds some begrudging respect for them. It's just less of one because Araki was getting into his own style and Part 3 is the culmination of that with Stands and the best group dynamic in the series.

What, part 3 felt much more like he wasn't yet sure what to do. The stands were the least interesting, and I remember much less of it than most of the other parts. Also, Jotaro is the second worst protagonist after Giorno. At least after rereading parts 1, 2, 5, 6 and some of 3.

3 was also much less fun than 2.

No, Part 3 had quite a bit that he was sure with. The only real problems of Part 3 are Avdol's death and Jotaro summoning up time stop abilities with no prior build up. The characters are fun and interesting, literally every member of the group has some of characteristic you can define them with besides their archetype. The stands for the most part aren't fantastically unique, but Araki uses them all in pretty interesting ways, like Justice is a unique stand and so is Hierophant Green. The 9 gods all have really unique stands and one of the best fights of the series isn't even a fight, it's a game of Poker. Not to mention that Jotaro vs Dio is pretty much one of the most well known fights in the series for good reason, despite time stop being pulled out of his ass there are so many great things about that fight and none of it is what typical shonen manga is.

Part 3 is the most popular of the series' in Japan for good reason, it's basically where the series stopped being Fist of the North Star as written by Hirohiko Araki and became JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, both because of stands and characters. Oh and Jotaro is worse than Jonathan? Seriously? Like you can make an argument for liking Josuke, Jolyne, Johnny, and Joseph more, but you can not make one for Jonathan, he is literally the blandest main character in the series. A more upbeat Kenshiro straight down to the look he has whenever he gets beefy fighting Tarkus.
