Agreed. Hell, even just a port of the Super Story Mode from the PSX version would have made me happy...
Yep.

There's a tiny reference to Part 5, but yeah, it's Part 3.

I spot 2 references
one is Polnareff getting hit by the Arrow as a super and Giorno's ladybug shows up on the map
Can't remember the latter... It's been so long.
But I'm more ashamed I didn't think of Young Joseph. Part 2!

Wow! great OP
Cool presentation in concise package.
Really appreciated the redirects to offsite resources instead of just copying and pasting info from them wholesale. Keeps post from being cluttered while still being informative
Should mention Stand Crash Wiki for new players as well. Might be hard to learn from Gostunv's combo videos alone for alot of people

It'd entirely depend on just what it is that makes it a bad port. That and if there are beginners other than myself playing :T
...Still, I have the feeling that by the time I can get points to buy this game the community is gonna be dead anyways -.-

Yes! Really need to know if there's a blood toggle. It would be ridiculous if it's still censored.
Unless this is a perfect port with no flaws I'll wait for the price drop.
I bet most who buy it will just mess around with Dio and Petshop for laughs and then drop it.
It will die faster than 3S >_<

Just an fyi, the JP PSN updated and it's up for everyone now(not only search now). I'm downloading it now.
Yeah, I uh... it scares me a little bit, to be honest. Can't read Japanese though ;_;

The first one is the demo + the unlock key. The other one is just the unlock key.

Hm. I thought the unlock key would be bundled with the full game instead. Thanks for the info~!

Good news: You can switch the "Visual Expression"(violent graphics in the description) to Mild or Original. I'll try them both out.

When graphic smear filter is turned off, is there, by chance, a scanlines mode?
Right, I just played through the demo as Jotaro, and I'm amazed that I forgot just how much damn fun the game is.
First things first - the settings. As arit said, the menus are in English, as is everything else, so it must be set to your machine's language. Cool beans. Also, not only does it have "visual expression" (blood or sweat) settings, but also filter settings too, so if you don't like the "HD" filter, you can turn it off for good ol' retro-style pixel art gloriousness! Not that I had much of a problem with the filter, except for the jagged lines around sprites that appear sometimes.
Otherwise, you've got three rounds of Story Mode, with four characters to choose from: Jotaro, Avdol, Hol Horse (<3) and Dio. Control is smooth as silk, moves come out like butter, no execution barriers here. Graphics are fast, colourful and smooth too, no hitches, all cut scenes are in English, and loading times are mercifully short between matches. Good job, so far.
To the guy who said there was something wrong with the sound - nope, it sounds just like that in the Dreamcast version (I can't tell you about how it compares to the arcade original, for obvious reasons, but I expect it sounds the same, too).
No online multiplayer in the demo, though - booooooo. I can't say if the game has local multi or not - I only have one controller for PS3, sorry.
I dunno about twenty bucks worth, but it is a good version of JBA, I can say that. I'll probably end up getting it just because I'm a JoJo fanboy, myself.
Kaijima - sadly, no, but at least you don't have that smear filter anymore!

If anime=those OVAs from the 90s, no, read the manga.
If anime=the adaptation that's starting this October IIRC, yes. Read the manga anyways.
READ THE MANGA
And this game is based on the third volume, Stardust Crusaders. Story mode, de-selectable smear filter to try to make it look more HD, online multiplayer (not in the demo), English menus and cut scenes. Otherwise, seems like a perfect port job from the arcade as it bloody well should be.

This is sounding great! Thanks so much for the impressions. Will be picking up the US version as soon as it drops tomorrow!

Sounds better than I'd hoped; will be trying the XBLA demo on wednesday, will probably pull the trigger if it's all kosher.

Wish Super Story Mode was in. But they would have to completely rework it since it was running off the PS1 version and would be missing animations if left as is.

Thanks for the feedback! I am more hype that ever X3 UPDATE ALREADY US PSN!
BTW, does the game keep the names in Japanese if u play on an English account?
Going through the demo right and I'm so tempted to get this, but I don't want to spend money on another fighter when I'm not even playing enough of P4A, and then there's TTT2 and GGXXAC+ in the upcoming months.
Liking the HD filter for the sprites so far. Usually I like to disable them.

I don't even own a console anymore but hopefully they will do something, anything about pet shop. Otherwise I can see it becoming a "play as pet shop online or die" kinda deal. <3 Jojo anyway.
Exactly.
For people that don't know about petshop:
Exactly.
For people that don't know about petshop:
think about the worst matchups you can think off(like a full meter Yun to your meterless Sim in SSF4AE, a lvl3 xfactor Super Skrull to your no evidence Phoenix Wright in UMvC3, a Sent to your Roll in MvC2, an Eddie to your no spirit Zappa in GG, a Ratio 3 C-Sagat to your ratio 1 Kyosuke in CvS2, a Chun to your Twelve in 3S, an Akuma to your Zangief in ST, to name a few) and that's a decent pet shop in a nutshell. There are better(and more detailed) explanations but if you have played any of the games I mentioned you'll understand.

Capcom-Unity said it was. Somebody will just have to confirm it.

But Chun li was one of twelves best match ups THIS EXAMPLE SUCKS NOW

I'd appreciate it if everybody would stop painting Petshop as an instant win button. Someone would need to know how to legitimately take advantage of Petshop's broken shit to even win. Other than that Petshop can be beaten.
Thanks.
Thanks.

He's still ST Akuma status
Not here I guess, because guys are saying the exact opposite, after having played the demo.
Hey, my post specifically says a DECENT pet shop. Of course you can beat a pet shop that doesn't know what he's doing.
Exactly.
