JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle confirmed by Bandai-Namco

I hope they don’t go down the competitive route with this game. I’d rather have a off the wall hella crazy JoJo’s fighting game than a competivtive one.

I’d fucking love this, The Hanged Man super would look fabulous

With how the mechanics and gameplay look/sound it’ll probably be both. I sure hope it’s somewhat competitive though.

People expecting 40+ characters are going to be disappointed.

The models and style look really pretty. Too bad a lot of these new 3D “comic/manga style” games are so desaturated and dark.* Why can’t it look nice and colourful like their 2D counterparts?

*With the exception of the DBZ/Naruto games

*While it’s correct that they said it won’t be a competitive fighter they did say they’ll have the “current standard size” of a fighting game roster which to me is about 28 to 35 characters. Outside of Blazblue and old rereleases most modern fighting game rosters are in the upper 20’s to low 30’s. In recent interviews he has implied the roster will be a good size but not as robust as the naruto games. As for SpeedWagon I have a feeling they’re going to put him inbecause he’s a popular character and I have a feeling they’re going to play it safe with the roster selection. While yeah I’d like to see another villain from part 1 (or villains in general) I just don’t think we’ll get many of them.

I’d personally love to see Risotto Nero, AC/DC, Stroheim, Terunosuke Miyamoto, Guard Westwood etc make it into the game but I don’t think we’re going to get many secondary villains in the roster. *

EDIT: Oh wow, you said the exact same thing as me above. Nevermind then…but for posterity I thought of this earlier today while thinking about the game. (I didn’t see your post)

Prediction:

28 characters, 4 characters X 7 parts
1 JoJo, 1 Villian (Main), 2 others

I.E.

  1. Jonathan Joestar

  2. (Will A. Zeppeli)

  3. (R.E.O. Speedwagon)

  4. Dio Brando

  5. Joseph Joestar

  6. Wham

  7. (Lisa Lisa, Ceasar, or Stroheim)

  8. (Cars)

  9. Jotaro Kujo

  10. Noriyaki Kakyoin

  11. Jean Pierre Polnareff

  12. Dio Brando (The World)

  13. Josuke Higashikata

  14. (Okuyasu Nijimura)

  15. (Koichi Hirose)

  16. (Yoshikage Kira)

  17. Giorno Giovanna

  18. Guido Mista

  19. (Bruno Bucciarti)

  20. (Diavolo)

(I’ve only read 1-5.)

Josuke and Okuyasu confirmed, leaving us one step away from an NMAAAA~I taunt.

Rumour has it that it WILL be released in Europe.

don’t see how the two are mutually exclusive

I went through and analyzed a bunch of the quotes from the trailer to see who said what as I’d been meaning to for a bit on my blog, here: http://www.frametrap.net/2012/11/jojos-tgs-trailer-quotes.html

If someone’s already done this, I apologize. I haven’t done the Joseph, Wham and Gyro quote shots yet, but they’re not as big as the others so they should be a breeze.

EDIT: Joseph, Wham and Gyro done here: http://www.frametrap.net/2012/11/johnny-wham-and-gyro-quotes.html! Doing a nicer write up with numbers and such in the pictures so you can better see which quote is where in the morning (5am makes organizing stuff hard)

EDIT2: Numbers and tally done: http://www.frametrap.net/2012/11/jojos-all-star-battle-tgs-quotes.html

New Famitsu images of Josuke, Okuyasu, Jolyene and Hermes: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201211/15024321.html

Saw a preview for part 2, Joseph has the same VA as the game.
Guessing anime and game VAs will all be the same

I get the feeling Hermes will be this games grappler. She’ll probably have to get in to place her sticker and get in again to remove it, or something like that.

Any updates on a release date for the new JJBA game? It feels like it’s been a while since anything new came out regarding it.

Nah just the new screens. I’m Hopeful that we’ll have a new video soon.

I forgot to ask this a while back but how many supers does Jotaro have? I could’ve sworn in some of the vids he has 3 (OraOra, Timestop and his GHA) but on his moves list it only lists 2 (1 HHA and his GHA). Or am I reading it wrong?

Also one last question for now, does this game have pushblock?

Time stop isn’t one of his HAs, its just a thing he has. 22S is the input for it, its down the bottom of the move list, assuming you’re using the one on the official site. I don’t remember if the one Famitsu listed was the same order.

I believe the video is expected to come out on the 21st.

Also, voice actors were already expected to be the same since Johnathan is confirmed to have the same VA.

in a perfect world, Jolyne will be a footsies based character with high mixup potential and her strategy revolving around her command throw where she puts you in handcuffs and you can’t move that far away from her for a short time (think Makoto karakusa shenanigans)

what? I can dream ;w;

In a perfect world, we’d be able to understand what King Crimson does.

If you understand the 4th dimension you’ll understand King Crimson.

The main problem [details=Spoiler]is the contradiction in how the bullets passing through Diavolo vs Polnareff’s blood trick, but this isn’t really a problem if you assume that all the bullets fired at Diavolo managed to fully penetrate his body in the deleted time. Also, why did Bruno see himself[/details]

Perhaps I just misinterpreted something, though. I read part 5 raw due to the bad translation.
