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

Yes and no one has bought it since. Game went down to half price locally less than two weeks after Jojo pre-orders shipped. It’s only going to minutes (well a few more post-zeitgeist weeks anyway) until I buy my copy for Y1000.

Sold 19K on second week, which was about average with basically every other FG sale in Japan. shrugs euphorically

The exaggeration of this game’s lack of sales if interesting. Over half a million or close to it in what, 2 weeks? For single region FIGHTING game? I think it’s doing fine.

Kira is Araki’s favorite JoJo character. Of course he’ll be put in the game twice!

Pretty sure he’s in the game two and a half times.

Badum tch.

Nah, Josuke’s his fave character: [details=Spoiler]

What’s surprising’s that he likes Diavolo and Shigechi quite a lot.

The Diavolo ranking is actually a combined Doppio and Diavolo, so I’m sure you can understand why someone would love Doppio.

Ah, ok, if he’s including Doppio too, then that makes sense. I feel Diavolo was lost potential, but he served his purpose as an antagonist, plus King Crimson’s pretty cool.

Old Joseph and Lisa Lisa out September 26! [details=Spoiler]

Ok, so they swapped the previously announced release date of Vanilla Ice/Anasui with those two. Originally they were going to be released before the old folks on that same day.

Guess I have to wait a month. Vanilla Ice is going to be coming out right around my birthday : D

Those dates weren’t actually announced, they were fake rumours that coincidentally had the right characters.

So that was fake/rumored? I wonder where it came from? It even has the names of the campaigns, and afaik, they match. Dangerous Men and Inheritable Purpose

Wait, so when is Ice and Annasui coming out?

Two weeks apart was the most likely guess for the dates, and we already knew the characters from the datamine.

The names are wrong, though. I can’t read the entire campaign 3 name, but the end of it is definitely 達人 and not 意思, so its ‘something something experts’.

Probably 10/10, about two weeks after Joseph/LisaLisa

Oh boy, gonna have to get one of those Japanese PSN cards I guess. I’m kinda behind on my DLC characters, so far I’ve only been able to get the free ones.

Speaking about the sales, does anybody have a comparison or a link to figures showing how other recent fighting game sales have done in Japan? I know first ASB’s first week sales were roughly 3-4 times other recent fighting games, but what about subsequent weeks for those games, or better yet lifetime sales in Japan?

So far who do you guys think is top tier in this game?

S Tier:
Joseph
Old Joseph
PB Dio

A Tier:
Cars
Jonathon

Doodoo Tier:
Everyone else.
