I also heard that he's pretty imba.

To me, she's pretty much always a pressure / zoner, she just gets better at it as time goes on.
My style primarily revolves around landing knockdowns with her crouching Light attack chain, then going for mixups with wire, stand placement, b+M knives, and dash-in combos. None of her ranged specials really do serious chip damage except for her "What are you thinking?!?" Super, so I prefer high-speed midrange, hit-and-run fighting.
You can cancel practically any of her normals into her Stand attacks, which is really great at making her flow.
People with Crazy incincible supers seem to like LETTING her zone, build up meter, and then just try to kill her off in a few meters of super attacks. She doesn't seem to really build much beter unless she's block-stringing, so zoning forever actually can awkwardly get her killed.
I wish her df+Strong uppercut was a stronger anti-air, it's really mostly just a nice floating attack. The other super kinda makes up for it though.
I love how multi-purpose her items are. They all seem to have depth. I wish they thought out Hsien-Ko's items in UMVC3 this well.
Got my first ranked win, though I'm thoroughly convinced the dood I was fighting had no god-damn clue what he was doing. Oh I was making noob mistakes left right and centre (You'll never see an old man jump quite as much as I was making Joespeh jump) but he just did not want to attack for some reason.
Also, how do you pull someone in with the whip?

ggs. I used the bird only once! I lagged pretty hard in the first and last match tho, next time it's better if you host I think.
Had the same problem but you get to balance it in the sound menu.
I still don't know how to combo with pet shop like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t19Cvckujcw
I mean the first part, not the trap or the "tp under him", was that bird nerfed or something from the old version?

The bird is still broken as fuck. He hasn't been nerfed for shit.
then I'm missing something 'cause I can't do that combo.
Sometimes I really feel like i'm the only westerner playing this game. Can't complain much though, since the netcode is good enough to play well against japanese dudes.
I did play against Dyne a few days ago and got bodied BAD.
Also, my Kakyoin is like top 7 in the PSN leaderboards

dyne played you with hol horse? cause ive played him in xbl and god was it hard to get a round from him. his setups are really good.
Yup. He got some insane zoning and setups, his Hol Horse is almost untouchable. That unblockable shot is still mad cheap :c
I need to learn to not drop tandem combos. Gotta mash dat ABC better.

You read your opponents so well that youll even be able to tell them that theyll say something right before they say it
...or at least thats what he does in the manga.

It's like they were making fun of this by giving him a super you can easily avoid JUST BY CROUCHING!You read your opponents so well that youll even be able to tell them that theyll say something right before they say it
some characters cant avoid the hamon beam. JOJO is a really easy character to play frame traps all day just dont get predictable. he has an easy combo into ovadrive and the stupid yoyo.
the neat thing about jojo is the cracker volley which a pretty useful tool. dont spam carelessly but throw it when you think it can hit or when you think they will avoid it(hence not blocking it) this shit will come back to you so just block and they will be hit out of anything they are doing.
you can stack volleys and if people crouch thats your cue to spam the ever living shit of volley they will stay crouched leaving them open for a while. this actually a good time to throw out the hamon beam. stack two volleys move forward maybe do an overdrive, backdash and beam. this is taking in account people getting frustrated by the volleys.
I've seen only 3 vanilla ice and 2 devo online. Ice is the problematic character since his fundamentals are godly tho devo is fucking annoying he is a super cheap Carl from bb. Cant say I don't use cheap characters hol horse and ice user here. Playing dyne at release was eye opening such a cool character hol horse.
I keep thinking of our Devo when he's mentioned.
probably shadow dio, fairly easy combos, unblockable setups and unblockable attacks.
remember shadow dio isnt really about his combos or his infinite, is about him being capable of doing it and scaring the ever living shit of your oponent with constant mixups.

yeah Iced is pretty strong even if you aren't that good. I'd make him my "main" if I get better.
LLM into tandem and rape them. Ice probably has the easiest links in the game. Well jojo too.
EDIT: I also want to point out that this thread misses God's beard very much!

Finally got some points for this game! If anyone on 360 wants to play send me a message. Be warned that I have no idea what I'm doing though -.-

I'm so sorry everyone :-(
Btw, I play:
Dio
Mariah
Midler
Khan
and sub Devo.
I can do better, I promise! I can change!
Mash dat stand A
Definitely, SDio is a brilliant starter character. Simple combos and a lot of room to expand. If you can, try and find SF2Feilong, he's really good
Avdul's another solid choice, Jotaro when you get more comfortable with the engine.
Hol Horse and Vanilla Ice are literally two-thirds of the cheapest characters in the game. And yeah, Dyne is a beast.
Vanilla yeah, but Devo is super momentum-based. One of, if not the hardest characters to play, without the reward of better characters. Love him, though.
He's great at controlling the screen and his combos are pretty easy. Super is just for people that get past everything else.
Kakyoin is the best character in the game...
You're doing God's work, Roty. Thanks again for the assist.
Well, zoning/trap-based. She's kinda bad, but her high/low game is beastly and she can loop supers in the corner.
His learning curve is super high and you lose it really quickly. Also, he's slightly weaker than Jotaro but his stand is better. Stand-on air knives is godlike, as well as instant Stand C. And he has the best teleport ever.
Dash 2A and 2A are different moves. You have to crouch first then 2A, which has more frame advantage.

I'm interested in learning Joseph, what should I be doing with him?

Young or old?

Well, considering I was quoting your comment on Young...
"God's Beard!"

Just making sure. His best move is jS, which has a great hitbox and you can cancel it off of your air normals on hit or whiff. His slide is special-cancelable which makes it really good and his crackers in general are awesome. You can set up a lot of pressure off of a knockdown, so work that into your game as much as you can. Honestly, I'm not the best person to ask, so you might want to try the standcrash section on him, which I remember as being pretty helpful. There's also a good Jojo on GGPO, but I can't remember his name offhand.
"God's Beard!"
Member
Except that my apartment's wifi-only internet is so ass that even GGPO doesn't always work and consoles are out of the question.
queue two of them on knock or when they are crouching, pressure them with j.s and stagger some ovaduraivuuuuu. Your main game with jojo is teaching them to block high when they see a cracker or something resembling it, throw hamon. bait jump ins and CAESAAAAR them.
"God's Beard!"
Member
CAESAAAAR has so much drama behind it.

Alright, I'll give that stuff a try. Also, just from going through arcade, I'm pretty sure Iggy is by far one of his worst match ups isn't it? At least it felt frustrating >:|

Iggy is strange in general.
I enjoyed him immensely when I was playing on GGPO. Definitely had to get used to all his different options though.
And you havent played against a petshop -_-", well iggy is weird, really weird i remember seeing a good iggy on xbl once, dont remember gt tho.
him pissing at you after a grab is godlike.
Ya I noticed that. Ive gotten it a few times, but I still can't tell the difference between the two. I just try to dash as early as possible and hope it completes in time for the 2A to be a 2A and not a dash 2A.
dash and instead of doing 2A do 1A.
"God's Beard!"
Member
You don't have to complete the dash, just crouch cancel, go back to neutral then hit 2A.

Feels pretty good.
