I think this was because it was released round about the same time as Street Fighter III New Generation was gaining popularity.
Maybe with the sub par caliber of the new 2D fighters being released people will start looking backwards for good games rather than forwards.
more vids! :encore:
I was talking about a JoJo tournament sometime next weekend, if I could find players willing to come to MD. :karate:
…and u just proved u dont know how the game works good job. :tup:
I’m so happy right now I could cry. :sad: Please post more.
Posting just to show some interest in more JoJo footage.
Actually RandomNigga is right on that one, The World is really slow, add to the fact that it requires 3 or more bars to use doesn’t really make it practical in most situations. You’re better off doing other things like a Tandem Attack or something.
i dont see the problem with this either! I mean I think we’ve all already seen everything there is to be seen in MvC2 and all other games but JoJo’s BA and the other games are so obscure that they need to be shown so that people can learn to appreciate other types of fighting games. We already know what the MvC, Tekken, SFA, SF3, Soul Calibur, GGXX, virtua Fighting series are like over and over whether they’re shown at tourneys or arcades but these other games would be a great addition because then everyone would have a chance. None of that “God character” bullshit to where you have to hope that you dont face a really good sentinel/magneto/storm player or a good Ivy player (fearing her most powerful moves like Criminal Symphony) and fucking having to worry about losing to a good CvS 2 team. Thats why I dont go to the arcades much anymore cuz most of these players have worn the hell out of all the characters to the point that you dont want to fight them cuz you already know you lost the moment you put your quarter in. The challenge is fun, yes, but being obliterated by infinite rushdowns just gets old. C’mon! cant we come up with new stuff?
Upload is done. Here are 2 vids for now.

You need WMV9 to watch these. Enjoy.
Actually I was thinking of that before. I mean if some people who get a lot of ass kissing around here are so good, why not win with a lesser character and proove your TRUE mastery of the game, sounds fair to me.
As for DS, If only this was Japan my friend. That game still get played a ton in Japan, have you ever seen Daigo’s Bishamon? Godly I say. Anyways, DS is one of my fave games so I feel you man, but some things in this world just aren’t meant to be.
The answer is for you guys to enter more tournaments, since you don’t seem to understand why certain characters win tournaments,
I doubt you’ll be able to force anyone good to use them, as a result they will just use their 4th string low tier team and OCV you anyway, sounds like a win win to me.
While you do that i’m gonna take low tier to the next level and win the 100-meter dash at the olympics with the cast of ‘the biggest loser’. i’m tired of these healthy skinny people being the fastest runners, time for some REAL skill.
You obviously seem to not understand what a blind pick is. As for the rest of your comment, pretty much totally stupid. BTW I think I can hear your daddy from here telling you that your presence is requested in the orgy room, you know what happens when you refuse.
Stupid Mod, DON’T GIVE A FUCK IF I GET BANNED EITHER…
blind pick as in double blind, as in random select, as in you pick someone’s characters. Fact is you can do whatever you want. I encourage it even, run it at whatever your area regional is.
I just get upset when someone comes in like we should change things around because someone doesn’t like how the game was made, it’s not like everyone thinks the same as you, some of us like playing the game as is (well ok, ‘like’ as compared to playing random select).
The difference is that you all seem to be telling people how you want them to play, while my take is that if you think you have a better idea, you guys go work on implementing it and i don’t have a problem.
This is where people have to take action. Insteead of whining about “people keep playing X game”, people need to do something in promoting an obscure game. If the game proves to be good, a community will start to build, and eventually there could be enough following like to push the game for an event like Evo.
This is something we are kind of trying to do with Melty Blood and Eternal Fighter Zero.
In a way, that’s what happened to Third Strike. Except for maybe Texas, Third Strike was dead in the US until people started to pick it up after US v. Japan.
Actually, promotion can be easier now that EVO has a “bring your game” room.
I wish you the best of luck in promoting these games. I for one would be extremely happy if you could be at least somehwat succesful in creating a scene for DS and MBR, and I agree…the BYOC room will be the place to do it in 2005. In fact why don’t we all start planning something for evo 2005 to get people to acknowledge these games. Im sure if enough of us showed up to rep these games something good might come out of it.
Damn it man I wish I had better internet 100 MB is too much for my Crappy 56ker.
I’d kill to see JoJo Footage. Its my favorite comic series and one of my favorite games. Any chance of a compressed version. Or even just a tiny snippit?
I’ve only seen one JoJo machine and that was in New Zealand. And as far as I know I was the only one playing it.
Ooo wait read back and found random Niggas footage :nunchuck: sorry. But would still be keen to see some of that 2 on 2 video stuff :nunchuck:
Nice. :tup: Thanks for hosting these.
While I agree that there are obcure games that should have some chance of getting explored, this post is just a paradoxical extension of what’s wrong with the fighting game community. Just because the majority refuse to expand their exploits beyond the best characters of the games that are frequently played now (which isn’t true anyway), doesn’t mean they’ve all been played to their limits. CvS2 sure as fuck hasn’t, and neither has MvC2. And regardless, Jojo and VS are no different in that respect. As long as characters have enough differences to make them unique, there will always be imbalances and distinctive tiering. You’ll see more of the same bullshit no matter how new the games are to you. You can’t blame people for wanting to win. If you’re tired of seeing the same characters and the same “infinite rushdowns,” do something to counter it, or quit playing these games altogether.
Can’t wait to see those Jojo vids, I love that game. Sure, it’s quite unplayable and I only enjoy a few characters, but man, what characters! Mariah > *. The ultimate runaway once you charge them up a bit.
