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.
