Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle

[Pete278]

Well, most of the characters with such iconic quotes are pretty good contenders anyway, so I felt like I should do it regardless of whether there'd be intentional hints or not. I think the Bruno hint was probably intentional....which would mean more if Bruno wasn't as obvious as Dio, but oh well.

[Mortum Kujo]

I have it being around 35 characters. I'm hopeful for Gappy Josuke but I won't be surprised if he doesn't make it.

I was thinking about Soft & Wet and maybe it could take away peoples buttons, for example, say it was 236A for a bubble, it hits then it takes away the opponents use of A until the bubble pops/Josuke is hit.

Also there's going to be lots of OraOra type stands, I hope that doesn't make the game seem stale and too uniformed if you get what I mean

Soft & Wet has a really interesting ability,I was thinking of it being a move disable-based attacker as well,or sorta like the bubble will hit like Arakune's curse from BB and like drain the water out of them or something like the manga,causing health drain,but maybe just as a super,it could seal stand moves.

I'm interested to see Josuke & Johnathan's play-style,Will Josuke play like a trap master breaking bottles and chairs and restoring them to hit you,and actually play long range,even though his stand is very short ranged?Johnathan looks like he'll have plenty of overdrives to hit with.

And will Gio's Gold Experience have some kicking moves or a command stomp?I'd love to stomp out someone with his MudaMudaMuda kicks,Gio seems like a character that's going to be like Gabranth from the Dissidia series,or more so Dio's Za Wurdo play style,building meter then using it to transform into Gold Experience Requiem and become a big offensive/defensive threat and then using a powerful super to gain wins,and Gold Experience itself can do alot aswell,wishing but not betting that he'll have the ability to make the stag beetle larva grow from a Mista assist of some kind.I hope to see the other Zeppelli's make it in,since they were only 3 main ones.

Gappy won't be in because this game only covers manga chapters 1-7, and he's from 8.

The game's logo has all the symbols for parts 1-8, so some JoJoLion cameos are possible.

I really did like the trailer quotes analysis, but I'm worried a lot of the quotes are red herrings. Like they indicate stuff that'll be featured in the story mode, but are not any indication of who will be playable. Like are we really expecting Mellone?

I hope to god Bruno is playable though. he is like my second favorite JoJo character ;w;

Ohh! I kinda see where you're getting at,because CC2 might make certain boss fights just for story,but they might not be playable characters,like Geb/N'Dour in JJBA HD,I'm surprised though,as they said there would be no quick time events,so I wonder if that will affect the dynamics of those fights.I personally think it's BS but whatever CC2.I doubt they wouldn't put in Bruno,I think they are using the time between TGS and next year to fine tune the playstyles of the mains and the cast because even though they all have Ora/Muda/Blazing fists,the characters are also stylish,and will play with their gimmick,I already see from TGS footage that Jotaro will have a easier stop-time abilities(mostly due to inputs and being able to charge meter),can't wait to practice those combo's

[SoWL]

Today's issue of Famitsu is going to have a lot of info on the latest newcomers (Jolyne, Josuke, Okuyasu, Hermes). They also say that the Morioh stage is going to have the ambulance on the background. I won't translate it just yet, since more info is coming in about seven hours, anyways.

[Pete278]

How on earth do you always find out stuff before me? I need to know how you get your info, because apparently mine isn't cutting it.

Well, I found this one thanks to the huge Izayoi post on the main page, really. Other than that, I just browse some boards and talk to friends who do the same.

For example, I got linked to this key visual to the part 2 anime by a friend:

Sugita's voicing Joseph in the anime, too, which pretty much means that the game and the anime are going to have the same VAs.

[Kriegdrache]

hype for anime sugita. Get Wakamoto to voice Stroheim and part 2 will sell BILLIONS

[SoWL]

Actually, they've revealed some other CVs, too, and Wakamoto isn't among them.

Joseph Joestar: Tomokazu Sugita

Caesar Zeppeli: Satou Takuya

Rudolf von Stroheim: Imaruoka Atsushi

Robert Edward O Speedwagon: Ueda Yuuji

Lisa Lisa: Tanaka Atsuko

At least Lisa Lisa is voiced by Motoko Kusanagi.

And the Famitsu article is up!

http://www.famitsu.com/news/201211/15024321.html

I'll take a jab at translating it a bit later, so enjoy the screens for now.

[Pete278]

I'm intrigued as to how Tanaka will do Lisa Lisa, she has such a wide range of potential voices and most of them sound cruel and evil, e.g. Caster and Poison

[SoWL]

Here is rough translation of the article. I probably got all the move names wrong, though.

Higashikata Josuke

Battle Style: Stand

Name of the Stand: Crazy Diamond

-The protagonist of part 4. His father is the protagonist of part 2, Joseph Joestar. He controls Crazy Diamond, a Stand that mends broken things and heal injuries. However, he cannot heal his own wounds.

Special move: Mend and retu~~~~rn!

By using Crazy Diamond's ability, Josuke can quickly traverse long distances by holding to a piece of broken asphalt.

Special move: I won't forgive those who talk shit about it!

Josuke loses his temper when someone criticizes his hair. His hair bristles up for a special mode!?

Heart Heat Attack: You've entered... My range...

Josuke rushes forward with a flurry of punches. With additional input, he can follow up with a "Homing Bullet" he used against Kira Yoshikage!

Great Heat Attack: I have already cured you

Crazy Diamond recovers the enemy's health to the maximum. In other words, "It's not unfair at a~~~~ll"... So Josuke beats the crap out of them, dealing huge damage!

Nijimura Okuyasu

Battle Style: Stand

Name of the Stand: The Hand

-Featured in part 4. Even though he was first an enemy along with his brother, Josuke reformed him, and they became best friends. His Stand, The Hand, can remove everything that his right hand touches from existence... If it wasn't for Okuyasu's brain, it might have been the strongest Stand ever.

Special move: I'll remove "The space"!

The space is removed, allowing instant teleportation! A great move for confusing your opponent.

Heart Heat Attack: Go fuck yourself, asshole!

Once he concentrates, The Hand performs an unblockable attack! The wide range of the attack is also worth mentioning.

Great Heat Attack: It's way too late to think things through!

To hit the enemy by any means, The Hand rapidly removes space for a finishing move! However, a flower pot hits Okuyasu in the face because of all the space he removed...

Jolyne Kujo

Battle Style: Stand

Name of the Stand: Stone Free

- The protagonist of part 6. Her father is the protagonist of part 3, Jotaro Kujo. Because her former lover framed her for his crime, she ended up imprisoned in G.D.st. Prison. She has Stone Free, the Stand that allows her to unravel her body into strings and manipulate them freely.

Heart Heat Attack: It's 1000 balls!

By attaching a baseball to a string, it's thrown forward over and over again! Soon after that, the hit counter "1000HIT" appears on the screen.

Great Heat Attack: Let me tie you up

After catching the enemy in her strings, Jolyne rushes forward with a great strike.

Hermes Costello

Battle Style: Stand

Name of the Stand: Kiss

- Her Stand ability is awakened by picking up the "Arrowhead" she found. Kiss, her Stand, produces stickers that divide the thing it's on in two. When the sticker is removed, the thing comes together, receiving some damage.

Heart Heat Attack: I understand your goal perfectly!

Hermes's Heart Heat Attack is a counter. First, she puts a sticker on her head, splitting it in two. If she is hit after that, she assaults the enemy in tandem with the Stand. By the way, the sticker comes off whether the counter was successful or not, dealing some damage to Hermes.

Great Heat Attack: And this! And this! And this! And this!

The enemy's head is split into two with the sticker, while Hermes proceeds to punch both of them. The sticker is then removed, dealing even more damage!

Stage Imageboard: Part 4, Morioh

The stage where the final fight with Yoshikage Kira's stand, "Killer Queen: Bite the Dust", is reproduced.

Stage Imageboard: Part 6, G.D.st. Prison Courtyard

A courtyard where many poisonous frogs fall from the sky. Do they deal damage when you touch them!?

[Pete278]

Oh hey, if you're the guy posting translations on /a/, does that mean you're also the guy posting the images you posted here? Because that'd make you my source of info twice. :P

Or did some guy just steal your translations and claim them as his?

[SoWL]

Nope, that was me. You can confirm it by checking the time stamps (or assuming that it's me who stole it from /a/). Although they sometimes post some stuff faster than I do.

[Jugun]

Hmm seem like Hermes is going have a risky counter,lol at Josuke's Great heart attack,and wow he has a att buff for when he's pissed

[Pete278]

Okuyasu does look really cool. Doesn't look like he has NMAAAA~I unfortunately, but I guess Gyro didn't have pizza mozarella in his screenshots, so we can only wait and see. Totally between him and Kira for my day 1 main.

[Starlight777]

I want to see what they do with Enrico Pucci if he makes the cut.

A stairway to heaven super would be AMAZING

[Pete278]

It'd probably be Made in Heaven.

[Pete278]

At last, the number one character announced.

Also, Hol Horse/Abdul confirmed, Jotaro can move for 2 seconds of stopped time, and ROAD ROLLA DA confirmed. Most hype single page ever, or what?

Edited November 28, 2012 by Pete278

[Mortum Kujo]

Mah boy Hol up in this! :D. I'm really hoping he has J.Geil assist but meh either way I'm happy to see him in. It's about time we got some antags though can't wait tosee who's revealed next.

Also anybody know what it says about the PV?

[SoWL]

And of course, such news arrive just as soon as I decide to take a break and get off the Internet for a second.

Glad that they're finally belting out the villains, though I wonder what takes them so long to reveal Jonathan, even with the Phantom Blood anime going on.

Also, having Mista and Hol Horse in a single game is entertaining. Finally, people will get the chance to decide who's stronger!

[Pete278]

I'm no good at making out kanji radicals unless they're 4096x4096 scans (I blame my eyes naturally) but from what I gather it says it'll be shown at a booth at Jump Festa.

[Mortum Kujo]

Ahhh right thanks
