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

Iggy is up now. I just grabbed him like an hour ago.

I’m disappointed that purple haze distortion doesn’t really do more. Slightly higher damage on some specials and better poison is kinda limited :x didn’t fugo gain the ability to shoot the bulbs out after he mastered it?

I wish Iggy was the free one. :3

Dunno what to say from a story standpoint since I never read about what he’s capable in the novel, but his specials do get altered a bit in terms of properties. His stand off qcf+attack comes out faster, his stand on half circle + attack overhead special does more hits and ground bounces, and his stand on 22+attack gains a low-hitting hitbox that it didn’t have in normal mode.

Also, he’s capable of pretty ridiculous amounts of damage in Distortion mode:

Iggy can indeed grab people, and I am almost certain he can be grabbed, even in his tiny dog stance. I really want to see what the character is capable of I like some of his normals but I have no idea what to do with Iggy’s 22H.

Jesus Fugo with poison and three bars does a lot of damage:

even in video games fugo’s stand is too strong, what an asshole

the scary part about it is that you don’t even need 3 meters to do crazy damage with him. even with 1.25 meters he can do around 65% easy

His 22H in stand on puts him in a counter attack state for half a bar. His stand turns off and he is free to move and attack like normal stand off mode. Any normal and most specials that hit him will have Iggy automatically knock them away, but for 0 damage. The counter only works once, he can be freely hit again after and would have to activate 22H to go back into counter attack mode. If he turns his stand back on before he’s hit though, he loses the counter state, even if he turns his stand back off after. Some specials like the cinematic grab attacks and supers will ignore the counter.

Ah, that explains it got the limited edition, thought you’d found some way to pay customs in advance or something since my charge was £25.something before parcelforce slapped that £13.something clearance charge on it

He doesn’t really need three bars, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhhVJvWwanQ that I did uses less than a bar to do a ton. Fugo’s so much better in multiround games, its really boring playing Campaign mode and not being able to abuse Distortion in round 2. :frowning:

They’re usually put up the same day IIRC.

Man I hope CC2 puts TK’s back in, it feels weird without them especially with Hol Horse.

the name of the game is then don’t let them get into distortion haha. then again, it’s worth it to just even whiff level 2 and get punished for it for all of the damage potential that comes with distortion.

So anybody know what nerfs each character got? I should be getting the game today and just trying to figure who I want to main. I was thinking about using Johnny but Fugo looks pretty cool based on those vids.

I dont have Fugo at the moment but how hard is it to build up his poison stocks?

He starts with six and gets 3 back from a HHA and all six from landing a GHA.

His poison stocks also refill in-between rounds.

This is probably the most concise list at the moment, though there’s a couple extra character details missing:

Jolyne and Jotaro specific notes:

By the way, I noticed with Iggy (not sure of other characters, didn’t remember to check) that doing his second taunt (the one that has him spin and fall) after a knockdown results in the enemy getting back up before he’s actually finished his taunt animation, and they can actually move and attack me while I’m unable to move until the taunt animation finishes. Has anybody else had this problem? That’s going to be a bit of a blow to knockdown > taunt tactics if character doesn’t have a taunt animation short enough to avoid that.

Yo, my psn is McFaltine, please add so I can try to get some non-laggy games in. Holy crap, the connections I’ve had over the last couple of days have been flat out unplayable.

Found some intersting tech with Avdol. Not sure if it’s only for him or if it works with anyone, but if you do your stand off j.H right before you land, the stand will attack while you recover from landing, so you can do j.H to c.L with a VERY small window. Give it a shot, see if it works with others.

Avdol is a lot better this patch, dude has a legit AA and wake-up reversal along with anti cross-up tech and some good damage. I am really enjoying his play style despite not having much love for the character himself.

Iggy Combo Vid since I didn’t see one up:

Ugh I want that new Kars (Cars?) outfit. But I don’t want to grind through campaignnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Ugh my life sucks!

Found some really nice, usable restands, gonna post them in my next CV. I’m afraid they’ll probably remove them with the next patch though. A shame, because they’re really cool. Hopefully you’ll still be able to do it on hermes with her stickers working as the hit.
