lol I’d never seen that Zeppeli vs Diavolo match before. That guy is GOOD. I gotta add that to the video thread on JBAcommunity.
Thank you 
That was the original plan actually, because I would scour NicoNico while I was at work looking for matches. (I have a boring desk job that affords me time like that, haha). Time, once I’m home, has simply been my biggest enemy.
I love those matches (and Ougon/Ars Magna’s accounts period :D) and as a Will dabbler i was thinking of commenting over those anyways.
Uploading Loser’s Finals now, I’ll put it here when it’s done
Random question:
What stage is the most stable for framerates? I see most people playing on Dio’s Part3 Mansion, and I know SBR is considered the worst. But what about all the others? Any stage is gonna chug when 2 characters + 2 stands are out, but I’ve personally seen very little slowdown from the part5 train station or the Jojolion stage. Contrary to that, the part2 and Ciaro streets seem really sketchy.
What is the general concensus?
i always use part 3 dio’s mansion, i used to use the part 1 dio’s mansion as well
train station seems laggy to me when using 2 stand users
AFAIK part 3 mansion is the best you’re going to get performance-wise. (Spoiled-ass Dio. He gets not one but TWO mansions in the same game! Lisa Lisa didn’t even get her Barbie Dream House with new Hell Climb Pillar…) I think part 1 mansion is SLIGHTLY worse. When in doubt in tournament I would just ban every stage except part 3 mansion. Boring, but safe.
I have heard positive reports about part 8 stage and part 5 train station as well. Probably helped by no fancy deformation effects in the background like part 7’s ocean, plus Joshuu and Yasuho aren’t doing anything fancy. Same deal for the train station; Prosciutto and Pesci aren’t glowing like Lucy is. I think most of the slowdown would be related to two Stand users no matter what the stage, particularly if they’re heavy on particle effects like Avdol or Shigekyo (he has dozens of little sub-models AND they glow!)
A shame, because I really like the part 7 stage. But performance matters for honest competition, and I respect that necessity. Plus at least Dio’s mansion is nicer to look at than the SF4 training stage (and whatever character BGM is playing is better than the training stage BGM).
My brain fizzled out and died at the end.
And that’s it for IVGC commentary vids. Thanks to all the players that went and streamed for making that possible.
Side note here: 3S 214L/M/H is not as safe as people think it is on block. It’s definitely negative and lots of chars can punish joseph if they’ve got long enough normals or just run straight to him and attack. I learned that the hard way a few weeks back before ivgc lol.
Can’t you just hold 214L and bring the boomerang back? Even if vs. characters with long enough normals you should be able to protect yourself, i thought :o
The gap on block between 3S and 214L is long enough to be SD’d actually. If blocked it’s decent but you’re still heavily in disadvantage.
SDing between 3S and 214L definitely seems totally do’able, if it’s unsafe that’s pretty huge. I hope someone locally picks up Joesph so that I can practice against it. <_< But based off your wording it sounds like it is safe on block if you charge. I guess I should test this further, I haven’t really looked into it in 1.04
Thank you for the knowledge drop though! This gives me an idea, when I get my copy back I think I want to do a anti-reversal video…
French players likely do the sidestep + jump combo not only for positioning, but also because of the camera shift. With that, it suddenly becomes a lot harder to tell if something is spaced the right way to be a crossup or not.
But man, that Jotaro player… really really dry. x.x
eheh japanese techs!
for the UK guys, namco bandai uk advertised this store to buy it with both dlcs
i guess 9pm GMT
they changed the title to Jojo’s ASB London event footage. FT5 action!
it should be live in like 1 hour and half, if they stick with that time, i’ll keep it open just in case they do it earlier!
Great, can’t wait to spam the chat with really helpful (Kappa) tips (Kappa Kappa).
