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

So is Kira just DLC then or is a costume? It seems rather silly to have such an important character as DLC, unless the roster is pretty much complete which I hope isn’t the case.

Then his Great Heat Attack is Tusk Act 4. Also, I loved noticing all the references in the move names, some of my favourite fights were referenced (in particular, Jolyne’s ‘don’t hesitate, punch’ move being a reference to the Jail House Rock fight)</span></font></div><div><font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”><br></span></font></div><div><font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>EDIT: Kira is a pre-order bonus, nothing has been mentioned for how to get him if you don’t pre-order.

August 29…that release date…<br><br>goes to watch the ACDC crying scene all over again<br><br>Guess I need to find something to really hold me over till then…<br>

I maintain it can’t be a coincidence that Jousuke is now in the middle, and I can even hear Jotaro in my head go ‘but I’m always in the middle of the family photos’. I’ll get to work on subbing it when I get a moment. </span></font></div>

One guy (Evil Gogeta) was at the demo event and said the game was less clunky and sped up. Potential for combos was there due to various cancels, but didn’t expand on that much. 4 or 5 colours for each character, and possibly alternate costumes for characters I think he mentioned, but I’ll have to check. I’ll try asking him more later on. <div><br></div><div>Trailer was amazing, to say the least lol. Dio’s cutscene WRRRYYYYY reduced Josuke’s meter and Josuke’s cutscene (what you’d say about my hair??!!) triggered something in Dio too. Kira is godlike. <br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

Awesome trailer but where the fuck is Bruno!? I NEED MAH BROOONOH! These trailers really ought to be on the front page too to generate some buzz for JoJo’s.

Now that all the Jojos and part 3 characters are announced, we’ll probably see more of the best friends being announced, like Caesar or Bruno, alongside the remaining villains. Alternatively, we’ll just get more part 3 characters.

Anybody else noticed Dio pulling off what looked like a combo-breaker attack at 1:15? He spent what looked like half his heat gauge and counter attacked Josuke in the middle of his combo. Don’t think combo-breakers were mentioned before as a system mechanic, so I wonder if this is a new one or if this something unique to Dio.<br>

I was just about to say the same thing. he spends half a bar and under Jousuke’s hit counter it says “Dieu Mort!” <div><br></div><div><br></div><div>goddammit what the hell is up with CC’s obsession with combo breaking mechanics… I really hope this game does not revolve around spending all your meter to slip out of combos… akshajkshfkj</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style=“color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);”>also: was I the only one who thought when kakyouin and gyro were next to each other, it looked like a screen from some kind of tag team mode? obviously there’s nothing in the trailer about it, but it would be interesting if they fit that in.</span><br></div>

It could be something specific to Dio since the background seems like it goes into his time stop colour effect. There’s definitely been nothing mentioned of it though.

Has this been confirmed?<br>

Be honest with me, dudes. How likely do you guys think we’ll get the game in places, y’know, not in Japan?

Namco Bandai was considering a localization a while back, weren’t they?

<div>Where they? I haven’t really heard much news outside of trailers.</div><div><br></div>

Well, anyone who hasn’t already ordered can forget about the limited edition now, already sold out on amiami and play asia.<br>

A US domain named “All Star Battle” popped from Namdai a while ago, so it’s definitely a possibility.
