That is a sexy OP. Adding the gifs is a nice touch. It really is a pretty fighter.

 

[Karsticles]

Poor God's Beard. He must be filled with rage at missing this.

Edit:
Also love the OT, especially the gifs linked to videos to help new folks learn.

 

[Mechazawa]

Obligatory:

Has anything been said about the load times/fake blood? I think it warrants a mention in the OP.

 

[chespace]

Very nice job with the OP.

 

[Reiko]

Great OP.

Will setting the region to Japan get rid of this instead of blood?

Only thing I disliked about the Dreamcast version. I hope it works like Metal Slug 3 did.

 

[vocab]

When you mean basic combos you mean hard as shit.

Also, Iggy is gonna be a monster online. That grab is a nightmare.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Already? I didn't even know it would release that soon, and Poor God's Beard.

 

[SolarKnight]

Fucking hell, this is next week already? D:

Anyways, excellent OT GB, shame you're not here for it

 

[Karsticles]

LOL @ Pet Shop's "basic" combo.

 

[Reiko]

LOL @ Pet Shop's "basic" combo.

The meltdowns online will be the stuff of legend. It's only the beginning.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Is this out in Europe next week too? Don't remember seeing a date for here confirmed.

 

[Kurtofan]

So no Super Story mode? :/

 

[Canis lupus]

Nice OP, I'm new to JoJo, I guess I have to start with the anime.

My dreamcast version was uncensored.

Spoiler

I have the Japanese version.

 

[Tobe]

Nice OP, I'm new to JoJo, I guess I have to start with the anime.

NO, read the manga, the anime doesnt do enough justice to this awesome story.

I hope i can ban people using petshop or iggy those fuckers are just retarded impossible to hit.

tho im way more scared of a good Kakyouin or Polnareff.
Def im gonna be using Dio or Hol horse.

Nope, you should start with the manga, read Phantom Blood and don´t stop until you finished Stardust Crusaders.

I mean, do it.

Now.

 

[Vespa]

Love the OP haha! BEAUTIFUL!

So how viable are all the characters? I keep hearing Petshop>ALL

 

[GoofsterStud]

I see the word HD, but I see low res sprites? How can this be considered HD?

 

[Solune]

Will be getting bodied in this game. Also hope your return is swift God's Beard, should only be a few weeks.

 

[Morris]

*Vogues*

So hyped for this.

 

[TheShampion]

Filters.

No seriously, its just filters.

There is online, too.

 

[bodyboarder]

Nice ot. Still not buying till either a price drop or online is fantastic and not dead after a week.

 

[GoofsterStud]

Why is this $19.99? Licensing fee maybe?

 

[Hunter-Zero]

Why is this $19.99? Licensing fee maybe?

Greed more likely

 

[Kai Dracon]

Greed more likely

Probably greed combined with a fee.

There's legitimately a licensing fee required for this thing, as there would be for Capcom re-releasing Aliens vs Predator, or the Dungeons & Dragons duology.

But at the same time, they're unwilling to eat the extra overhead to keep it priced at $15.

Having said that, people really don't appreciate the value a lot of $15 releases offer. 3rd Strike Online - problems which have been and are being patched aside - was a hell of a well done package and great value for that price.

The real problem I have with this release, isn't the price. If this had been an Iron Galaxy style port, chock full of features and extra content, $20 would be a good price to get such a niche game re-released with online play.

Unfortunately, there are indications this is a dodgy port, and not an Iron Galaxy quality package. We need to know more, but that's the real problem IMO.

 

[Amagon]

Never had a chance to play this game back in the day so my body is ready when this one releases next week.

Very purdy |OT|!

Exactly, if this version were as good as Third Strike Online, i´d buy it in a heartbeat, but does not look like it sadly.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Are the character names altered from the Japanese version? I want my Vanilla Ice, dammit.

 

[KiteGr]

Nice OP, I'm new to JoJo, I guess I have to start with the anime.

As it's mentioned above, READ THE MANGA FIRST! It looks very Gay at first sight, but trust me! It's REALLY good. And it only gets better as you progress...

This game is based on the 3rd Saga, that was popular enough to get an Anime adaptation, but it's was clearly intended for the fans of the Manga.

 

[Currygan]

jotaro's sprite is so smo-

It looks very Gay at first sight,

 

[Shig]

As it's mentioned above, READ THE MANGA FIRST! It looks very Gay at first sight

oh does it now

 

[QisTopTier]

Strategy
Petshop is unbeatable. Mash and you'll probably win.

HAHAHAHA

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

Of course.

We still don't know if switching the region of your system makes any difference at all for any option. We'll have to wait to next week to see.

And the below are matches from the game in "HD." I'll let you guys be the judge of that.

Jotaro vs Dio

Polnareff vs Vanilla Ice

 

[JeTmAn81]

Is that a Chihuahua? Can you play as a Chihuahua in this game?

edit: Boston Terrier

 

[Tobe]

you just said something really stupid

might wanna edit your post.

rotanibor you should add memorable youtube matches in the op.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Keep your post exactly as it is.

great OP, I'll buy it as soon as I can when it's out. looking forward to play it.

 

[Tizoc]

What the he's banned?!
Gonna get it by the end of August/Early September after I get my payslip and recharge my PSN account. Hopefully there'll be an option to turn blood on.

 

[kirblar]

Doggy Demon is best Demon.

(Playing Iggy on GGPO immediately taught me that I should have tried out Honda/Balrog a looooong time ago. So much fun!)

 

[FallingEdge]

petshop cheats.

too dirty.

 

[Tizoc]

Nice OP, I'm new to JoJo, I guess I have to start with the anime.

The anime cuts out various stuff from the manga, get the manga instead.

Also if anyone hasn't watched JoJo's Abridged adventure, get on dat now-

goddamn iggy is the shit

at least in the manga

 

[Urban Scholar]

ahaha at the title, very well done.

I love the focus on Akari! So awesome!

 

[ampere]

So this game is just Part 3 of the manga? I remember seeing lots of classic gifs of this game, now that it's so easy to buy I might have to get it. It would be fun to reenact some of the manga's battles.
