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

Thats a shame, was kind of on the fence about double dipping but if the netcode’s still the same I’ll stick to playing my JP copy with mates.

That is unless the save account lock is gone anyway, anyone got any news on this?

Would be nice not to have to lug my ps3 to my mate’s house every time we want to play this when he also owns a ps3 of his own just because Namco wanted to run a free-to-play knock off campaign mode and had to chuck the ability to share saves under the bus to try and sell energy?

is this game pad friendly? I while input and execution seem simple enough. this is 6 button fighter and i usually hate having to manage more than 5 buttons.

*I played the demo using pad, I think ASB is plenty friendly for pad player like you.

3 attack buttons, style button, dodge button and then the 6th button can be whatever you want. Taunt, all 3 attacks, GHA or whatever else you may personally fancy. *

I play exclusively on pad and can pull off extended combos pretty easily (though I drop a lot) so yeah, pad is fine for this game. Hurts your thumbs a bit though.

X: Dodge
Square: Light
Triangle: Medium
Circle: Heavy
R1: Style
R2: 2 Attacks (For throws/HHA)
L2: 3 Attacks (GHA)

That setup’s pretty much enough.

so it looks like the western game has indeed a few char changes, we’re refering to it as 1.04+ and this is what we found so far

1.04+ Change List

Jolyne:

  • Air 236A doesn’t OTG anymore

Kosaku:

  • 214A now juggle launches instead of fullscreen wallslam

DIO:

  • can’t throw knives when in S.On
  • there a little delay between 214L and SJ making it harder/rare to land his known wall bnb

Hol Horse:

  • 214A now needs ~0.15 meter

I got this shit pre-ordered, if amazon is on time it will be here on Tuesday. I have the JP version, but I barely played it as P4A was my main game, and I wasn’t too familiar with the Jojo universe. But I will definitely being playing this a lot when it comes. I really enjoyed Using Jolyne a lot, and Bruno a lot.

But based on what Wata said, a bad netcode is a huge hit, since the game is already a bit slow in its own right. so laggy online sounds spooky :(. I didn’t have too much lag when I did a few matches on the JP version when it first came out though

THIS GAME ISNT OUT YET???

is this a fighter or something less?

looking for something to dabble in aside from mvc2…since origins died :frowning:

*It comes out Tuesday on PSN Nick. And yes, ASB is a fighting game.

@DrellyFish‌

I’ll have to add you on psn so we can get some games in.*

That single Kosaku change sounds like it would drastically change him.

That Hol Horse change is huge. Sort of.
I mean, he never needed meter to get damage because of Gun loop, but now I can’t just put out a puddle wherever the fuck whenever the fuck.

The game is almost certainly better for it, but it is sad to see as a Hol Horse player.

JUST PUT THE PREORDER DOWN ON THIS SHIT

GONNA GO READ THE COMIC NOW

So I just found out I need to buy the US version to play people in the states since I have the japanese copy. Wish I knew earlier but guess I gotta wait till next week to play you guys on the east coast. Which isn’t too bad since I wouldn’t want to beat up on noobs.

im gonna be a day one noob when this comes out :frowning:

*Don’t feel too bad. I’ll be a newbie as well. Hell, I haven’t been playing fighting games in a long while. I’m hella hyped though.

got jojo

psn- K_Bss

Nick, just pick Hol Horse and pretend you’re playing Team Scrub. It gets the job done.

I was going to play online, but I can’t for the life of me find campaign pack 1. Game says it’s live, then I go to the PSN store and it’s not there. @_@

same here buddy. gonna try again later

My phys copy shipped from Bandai Namco’s online store… now the waiting game :confused: Still hoping Rohan got some secret buffs…

this statement interests me greatly
