Yeah, it’s not quite as special as I thought when I noted it (it’s kinda related to how chains/strings/cancels tend to go in the same direction, even if your opponent has crossed up) but it’s semi notable in that it’s a way to ‘cancel’ the dash and still get a forward+S (sorta), and it’s worth noting that you can cancel out of his dashing kick on that first frame or two.
Also, Neo0MJ: I think a lot of people here would be jealous that you have an arcade near you with the game, empty or not! If you show up on GGPO (not quite the same as live, but…) plenty of people would be happy to play you, no doubt. Check the other jojo’s thread here in the ‘other games’ forum.
Interesting,I completely forgot about this thread since the other one is so much more active these days but I guess this is more for gameplay related posts.
Recently, SQ figured out a nice new unblockable setup for Chaka that almost doubles the damage of his stand crash tandem setups.
Chaka was always pretty decent but his biggest problem in the past was his overall low damage output. This new technique should definitively improve his matches against active stand characters.
Also, the tier list from hardedge wiki is quite good but it should be updated with the most current tier list in the Jojo jpn wiki. Otojo confirmed that this tier list is more accurate:
Some of those placements are a bit questionable IMO. I would need to ask him to further clarify a couple of those characters. Shadow Dio and Pol has certainly risen through the ranks.
Thanks a lot kane! I up dated the first post and gave u credit for the matchup chart and tier list.
At the half blood prince. I know my man game geezer still plays randomly. U should be able to search up his name On srk.Id play myself but my pc is down at the moment.
I was talking to him about trying to get a scene going for jojo, I think the best thing to do is, creating a fb page just for jba! He said he’ll do it over the weekend. We will see how this works. If he doesnt, then i will.
Great idea about a facebook page but we need to make it clear it’s for the fighting game to make it easier to find matches. There is already a Jojo group but it’s mostly composed of fans of the series.
I haven’t been playing for a few months but I’m always down for games. The number of players in the lobby spikes up on random nights (up to 20). About learning the game just hit me up and I can help you if you are going to be learning one of my characters (Jotaro, Dio, Vanilla, Chaka, Polnareff, Kakyoin, O.Joseph). If you like Hol Horse, Dyne is still around and I’m sure he can help you with that. Fayk was the source of Y.Joseph knowledge but I haven’t seen him in a while.
Also, I have a Jojo/HnK youtube page that I update sporadically with rank matches among JPN Jojo players on PSN and combos that I record whenever I get a chance:
This is SQ’s youtube page. He usually updates with matches from the Japanese arcade scene or Jojo HD:
This is Otojo’s youtube page. He also often uploads Japanese matches along with a very indepth tutorial from a few months back:
