I assume this is region free? Anyone know if it specifically works on PAL PS3’s?
Damage scaling (without supers) seems quite strict, but yeah, Supers seem to ignore scaling/do great damage in spite of scaling. I’m assuming a lot since a) I haven’t so much as touched this game and b) it’s early days, but I think achieving damage without meter will be quite difficult. Apparently on Amazon in some reviews, players have been complaining about the low damage from regular combos (barring infinites) and the high damage of supers: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/676176-jojos-bizarre-adventure-all-star-battle/67109146
I’ll assume players will want to conserve meter and and play oki/taunt the opponent after knockdowns to kill their resources, then go for the kill once they’ve dealt enough damage. Meter seems to build up quite fast in this game. Since supers deal great damage, it encourages people to extend with Puttsun cancels for longer combos, so if players can regular find 2-3 meter combos that deal healthy damage/half health, I can see people meter managing and draining.
Of course, I’m probably wrong lol. Anyway, I wanna see how projectile chars hold up in this game. Chars like Mista and Kakyoin look like great projectile based chars, so I’m wondering how they’ll deal with sidestepping and Stylish Moves (metered evade).
Was pretty impressed with the Bruno combos, especially the one at 1:33, that looks like a good combo. I’m not quite familiar with the movesets yet, what’s Bruno activating when he flashes white?
And some more info and impressions from someone who’s got the game here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/676176-jojos-bizarre-adventure-all-star-battle/67109372
I think the white flash you mentioned is Stand Rush, where you can “detach” yourself from certain stand special moves and move around while your stand is still attacking.
But yeah, those combos were awesome. Eagerly awaiting footage of two competent players go in.
I’m not home, so can someone please confirm.
Is it on JPSN? How much is it (In yen is fine).
I have a play-asia preorder, but haven’t been confirmed shipped so trying to decide what to do. Thanks!!
It’s on JPSN now, for 7980 yen. You also get the Kira DLC free on PSN if you buy the game in the next two weeks, Kira shows up in the download list after you purchase the main game. Shigechi (Harvest stand user) is also available now for 300 yen (half price on DLC characters till September 25th, which I’m assuming should include Iggy and Fugo who come out on the 12th). There’s also a campaign/story mode (not sure which) DLC for Kira/Shigechi as well which is currently free.
Thank you so much. You are the best! That helps me make my decision.
At 7980 yen (with the markup for online purchasing of PSN cards) it’s no savings to do the download version. Unless Play-asia takes more than a day to ship, I’ll probably just wait it out. I’d rather have the physical copy of the game to take to tournaments anyway.
I am excited/grateful they are doing the half off DLC for a bit. I have 800 yen leftover from getting GGAX+R so, that should get me 2 dlcs easy before needing more.
RUH ROH
expect to see more of this type of stuff
;w;
Why does this game remind me of HnK, lol. Should I feel bad for loving these funny infinites?
it only works in the very square stages because otherwise the opponent usually moves to one direction or the other. I’m still surprised by the no gravity thing though. only the distance they get hit increases, apparently.
What I want to know is if Dio has one and it involves a move where he continually says “MUDA DA!”
If so, then it is perfectly fine and should never be removed from the game.
some swag DIO combos. the level 2 one actually did more than using a level 1 and more puttsun cancels. but I think I could’ve done more damage >:3
I’m not at home so I don’ thave my copy but if someone does, please just record this theoryfighter Caesar combo I dreamt about last night:
j. H, L,M,HxEX DP, EX Lens, L,M,HxEX Cutter, j.H, GHA
or whatever after the EX Lens that’ll be long enough so that the lenses start hitting and you’re using an EX move so it’s more damage. perhaps EX Launcher would work better? of course you can change the ender to do a chain combo into HHA instead.
EDIT: I’m assuming here that EX Lens is fast enough to recover because you have like ages after an EX DP hits to combo.
No “Wrryyyyyyy…” after Roadroller?
/sadface.
that was fucking cool over 50 characters will be able to do sick combos like that
How easy/difficult is it to get through the menu system without knowing Japanese?
I think the 50 characters thing was a mistake, actually. People were apparently going off of the latest DLC trailer mentioning something about “50” in some of the text and assumed it was characters, but it was actually talking about the number of preorders (500,000, or 50 ten thousands as they would write it).
He never had it. Only in Mugen.
If anyone wants to go the digital route to get Jojo, I advise you to buy it off the Hong Kong PSN Market. The damn thing is $449.00HK…in USD that’s $57.90!! Better than buying it off the JP PSN Market if you ask me.
I’m really happy that the puttstun > jab juggle infinites are situational/not practical. That reminds me EXACTLY of the Taki’s ninja dart infinites in SC2, which only worked with specific spacing and ground orientation. That infinite was seen exactly never in tournament play because you could never get that specific setup.
Diavolo and Jolyne infinites (in that order) are the only things that really need to be addressed now.
Some online Polnareff matches. Dude uses stand rush a good deal, he dosen’t quite have level 1 Seiei Enbu stuff down pat but you can tell he’s working on it. In the last match (vs. Mista) he Stand Rushses and Puttstuns into level 2 for the kill.
This guy uploaded a lot of the Nico vids, some I hadn’t seen yet:
