Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

[Circuitous]

Time for a Jojo megathread. Without further ado...

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure basics, or

How I Jojo's?

Buttons: Light, Medium, Heavy, Stand. Arranged thusly:

A B C

S

Movement: You've got all your standard options, and a few extras.

• Dash: Hurr durr.
  
• Hop: Tap up in whatever direction you prefer for a short hop.
  
• Jump: Hold up in whatever direction you prefer.
  
• Superjump: Can only be done forward.
  
• Double Jump: Stand mode only, certain characters only.
  
  
  Technical Stuff:
  
  • Teching: Press any two attack buttons.
    
  • Throws: 4/6 + C
    
  • Throw Break: Throw when you're thrown.
    
  • Roll: A+B+C. Forward only. Pretty good invincibility. Can't be used with an active Stand.
    
  • Advancing Guard: A+B+C when blocking. Pushes enemy away.
    
  • Guard Cancel: While blocking, 236A. Attack varies by character.
    
  • Activate Stand: S. Certain characters only. Buffs up attacks, allows new special moves, etc. Characters without an active Stand will instead use their Stand's ability or special move.
    
  • Stand Appearance Attack: 236S. Activates your Stand with an attack. Active Stand characters only.
    
  • Tandem Attack: 214 -> [inputs] -> ]S[. Activates your Stand and freezes the game briefly, during which time you mash inputs like crazy. When time is restored, your Stand will perform all the attacks you entered. While your Stand performs these attacks, you're free to act normally, allowing you to string together nice combos. Uses 1 Super Gauge.
    
    
    Gauges:
    
    • Health Gauge: Seriously?
      
    • Stand Gauge: [Active Stand characters only.] Appears under the Health gauge. When your stand is active and you take damage, the Stand gauges reduces. When it empties, your Stand is temporarily broken and cannot be used until the gauge refills.
      
    • Super Gauge: Fills when you attack, use special moves, or get hit. Maximum is 9 stocks.
      
      
      Combat Basics:
      
      • Combos (Normal mode): Characters without an Active Stand, or who do not have their Stand activated, play pretty much like Street Fighter characters. Combos are either canned, or one-frame links.
        
      • Combos (Stand mode): Characters with an Active Stand play more like Guilty Gear, but with more one-frame links. Feel free to mash out some gatlings.

this thread is pretty overdue

MAKE A FIGHT

[Circuitous]

this thread is pretty overdue

Right? I was amazed when I couldn't find an existing thread.

So yeah. I love Mariah. Most fun I've had in a fighting game since probably ever.

[furix]

There was one, it was really old... I either pruned it way back when we had to make space, or it just auto pruned itself.

EDIT: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?685-Jo-Jo-s-Bizarre-Adventure&highlight=Jojo Found it!

But, don't worry. We can use this thread instead, I like the first post.

[Arvoyea]

I love the manga and this game. Man, they should do a sequel. I haven't played in awhile on GGPO, but I'll hop on tomorrow. I got interested in Vampire savior all of a sudden also. Difference is, I can actually move properly in this game. The GGPO room is friendly and awesome, for those interested. It will take a little while to figure out combos, but it's not hard. I'll see you at the Jojo's server.

[Mr. Camaro]

young joseph is so cool

http://wiki.hardedge.org/index.php/JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure:_Heritage_for_the_Future <- german wiki. haven't worked on it for a while, but most of it is individual research (frame data, movement tables, hitboxes in pixles and such)

I play it EVERY FREAKING DAY with my friend. I only recently learned about how to do The World, so that's a plus for my favorite character, Dio.

Like someone here said, they should make a sequel...i mean, all the series have the potential for a fighting game. It's easier for Phantom Blood and Vento Aureo since they have other games.

Updated the OP with some resources and tier lists, thanks for the links guys.

[bbq sauce]

Someone teach me how to play this game. aka play with me so I can learn things I can't learn on my own.

Why you should be playing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

One of my favorites, literally and figuratively.

[Matt]

Jojo's is the shiznits. Dio bnb is like the titties. I used to play this game all the time, then college started. Chasing the womens and grades became higher priorities than practicing dio's hard as shadizzle combos :-(.

Also, anyone here play on ggpo. I will rape u.

Edit: Also, this video is the reason I started playing this game. Glitches and mindrape!

[Mr Oso]

[Mr Oso]

Wow this thread died fast. . .

[shwaffles]

Hey I'm new here. I'm thinking of picking up Iggy, because Dio combos are hard.

Anybody willing to teach me?

Edited November 24, 2011 by shwaffles

[Circuitous]

If I knew anything about Iggy I might. I could be a punching bag, though. When were you thinking of starting?

[Leaf]

combos in general are too hard in this game

[Plants]

combos in general are too hard in this game

Shadow Dio combos are sort of easy.

^^Has some good stuff on most of the characters

The Dreamcast version is pretty close to arcade perfect, if you can find a copy.
