Annoyed, Twitch isn’t working for me, but I can see the chat and they’re saying it’s the best gameplay they’ve seen so far of the game. Really wanted to see more competitive matches.
The combos are alright, but the more interesting stuff IMO is the oki near the end.
Looking at the Josuke vs DIO match…um, DIO seems pretty ridiculous.
Okuyasu mid screen unblockable tech
Wouldn’t really be that good on someone with a long projectile like Funny Valentine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqnZQsEbfxQ All that Akira work on a three bar combo and it still didn’t do half life. 
Haven’t seen these posted up.
Damn, I’m really rather bummed Akira’s not looking so hot. He looked really fun. Does he have any other strong (or even decent) traits? Any sweet mixup potential off a knockdown, maybe?
Also, keep the footage coming, dudes. This is good stuff, Avdol in particular looks fun. As does Polnareff and Jolyne and oh my god I want my COPY ALREADYYYYYYYYYYYY
Akira argubly has one of the better mixups in the game since he can do command grab ? level one. But he’s got to be the most resource heavy character in the game, even moreso then the freaking Pillar Men. You have to keep RHCP’s electric gauge up (which you can only do in stand off) and have meter to threaten command grab/poke into level 1. I dunno, I bet if you work at it you can make it work, but he’s absolutely not a pick up and play character, it seems to me. He’s more or less this game’s Gief.
Avdol is looking like that dude
Juri player Midna’s trying his/her hand at All Stars. I guess Sheer Heart Attack’s unblockable? And yeah, Avdol’s surprised me. Been watching Gostunv’s stream, and Valentine’s Resurrection’s gonna piss off a lot of people lol (though it robs him of meter usage for the round). Good thing taunts are in the game to drain meter. Oh yeah, Wham’s Holy Sandstorm OTGs.

Just wondering, is there any place where I can get a translation of the menus or such or has that not been posted yet?
Currently working on some things for DIO but nothing is turning out as I want. Also, how’s the online in this game?
According to Jiyuna, the game is currently called the “grasshopper game” in Japan due to how everybody jumps alot.
I’d love to see some good players playing this game instead of combo videos. I just want to see some advanced movement to really sell or kill this purchase.
Did you find a way to skip all the match vids that have been posted
So, how the hell do you play GioGio correctly? He seems kind of ass to me so far.
I’ll look into Giorno when I get home from work. I’ll be honest, I kind of forgot he was in the game, lol.
My roommate switched from Bruno to Joesph and I have to say, Joesph is fucking bananas. He has a tool for every situation and they all are pretty much great. His level 1 super is a full screen whiff punish that most characters can’t punish on block AND it does a lot of guard damage. Cracker Boomerang projectile simultaneously gives him rushdown options and serves as protection with it’s return abilities. Rebuff Overdrive is a safe one button shoryu since it’s invincible up until it’s first attack frame and it’s cancel-able to other special moves (it’s a little slow but that’s fine for what it does), and for ranges Rebuff Overdrive isn’t good in, you can use Cap Launcher as an anti-air which literately covers almost the entire 2D plane in the air. His sweep is safe from a fair amount of non-super stuff. 5B is a decent poke. JC’s hitbox pretty much beats anything that’s not a shoryu or a horziontal air-to-air AND it has good crossup abilities. Rekkas are not so unsafe that you can’t play around with it’s many varied options (and since he’s a Hamon user, he dosen’t give a shit about puttstuning on block or randomly useing EX, because he can just get it back later) he can chose to use three EX moves in his main string over basic super to deal 300+ damage and he can choose then to either stay on you for oki or build Hamon (and the net loss of that combo is like… 50% meter after he’s done, so even if it’s less damage then other characters doing fancier things or using super, the cost is incredibly nice for him). He has multiple slower but tricky overheads, one of which (F+H) is special cancel-able. He has a counter that crumples for full combo. He has a OTG move.
I’m sure there’s more because we literately just messed with him last night. Dude is king of versatility. I’m really trying to think of something bad to say about him.
His anti-zoning options suck, i guess, since his projectile is just one hit durability and linear? But then he has level 1 which he can easily do on reaction anywhere to other people’s projectiles.
His throw is weak?
His level 1 actually scales more in combos unlike other characters? In fact, damage scaling is big for him because his main special moves have tons of hits to them.
He doesn’t have a infinite that I’m aware of, which is moot since CC2 is working on those? lol
If you want to play as Joesph, you really should. All I’m saying.
I definitely see Joseph being the king of versatility, going by his character. I wonder if that was intentional? lol.
Did you end up doing that stream, crow? I hope I didn’t miss it.
I did. I posted about it but it said it had to be appoved by a moderator and then never appeared. I guess it was the way I typed the link, I dunno. My roommate had to leave that night so it ended up just being me learning combos with Avdol and Hermes, lol, which are the fruits of those two vids I posted up above (and also messing with Rohan and Akira a bit) the mic also sucked so I’ll fix that when I stream again (likely tomorrow, as someone is coming over to learn Joylne and Will.) I forgot to mention this, but this Wednesday like 8 people are coming over to play the game for the first time, so I’ll definitely stream then to show off my ability to shoot life tracking fireballs and people that are still trying to learn to do ABC stuff, lol.

Crow, you check out Kira yet? I desperately want him to be good, but outside of bomb setups and Bite the Dust he seems a bit underwhelming…
DLC Kira is supposedly worse.
Adakino found an infinite with Funny Valentine
I messed with him briefly last night, but I haven’t really put the ‘work’ into him to speak confidenty. I think he has some sweet gimmicks honestly. All the bombs and primary bombs are unblockable (which I had NO idea about) and Bites the Dust has probably the sickest gimmick ever: it reverts any ‘forms’ the enemy has powered up with. Ultiamte Kars becomes Kars after being hit, Emilio loses MiH (i forgot to test C-moon), hell, even fucking WHAM gets his eyes back after he gouges them out, lol.
DLC Kira i haven’t downloaded yet because my roommate’s PSN keeps giving network errors.
