I guess I'll go ahead and stop in here for a bit. I've read all the way up through the end of SBR (wtf at that last fight, really?), though I haven't started JoJoLion or whatever because it's not done yet, and I don't want to wait a million years between chapters and such.

I guess you guys do Rankings, eh? I'm terrible at remembering the names, but I'll go with what I remember:

Favorite Stands: Stone Free, C Moon, D4C, hrm I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.
Favorite Protagonists: Jolyne, Gyro, JOSEPH JOESTAR, Josuke
Favorite Antagonish: Yoshikage, Fuckyourlifeup Dio, Valentine and very closely after, Pucci.
Also Stone Ocean is the best. The entire ending sequence is just the hypest shit ever. SBR started off okay and got good, though there were some confusing ability mechanics towards the end. Part 3 is... Meh. The abilities didn't really stand out to me at the time, and looking back they were quite generic. Auro Vento however was terrible IMO, didn't really enjoy it at all.

I approve of all of this. Though SO isn't my favorite part it's not bad though. probably 4th favorite for me.

I don't get the significance of Jesus in SBR like at all.

In Japanese, Jesus is "Iesu".

In Japanese, Yes is "Yesu".

Wasn't Jesus a JoJo?

Joshua Son of Joseph

Jojo.

 

[Magwik]

Well, DIO is the Devil soo

 

[Ezalc]

Jojo.

Holy JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Well, DIO is the Devil soo

Technically, DIO is Italian for god

Diavolo, however, is Italian for the devil

That's why I've always interpreted Polnareff meeting them as looking up the stairs to god in heaven, and looking down the stairs at the devil in hell.

Please continue posting in this thread.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

I am now envisioning Odie as Pet Shop.

 

[Astral]

Saikou ni high~

 

[Squishy3]

Odie is Vanilla Ice, Nermal is Pet Shop and Garfield is Hol Horse.

 

[Astral/H3X]

The name "Vanilla Ice" never fails to crack me up. It's fucking hilarious.

MY MOST LOYAL SERVANT, VANILLA ICE.

 

[Zonic]

AND HIS STAND CALLED "CREAM"

TOGETHER, THEY ARE.....VANILLA ICE CREAM

 

[Astral/H3X]

ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME HOW DID I MISS THAT

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Also, vanilla ice cream melts in the sun

 

[Astral/H3X]

Also, vanilla ice cream melts in the sun

And he "scoops" the ground.

I'm gonna cry.

Also, looking back at my list of favorite stands, how the hell did I forget Weather Report and Jail House Lock? I loved those two so much. Though it's hard to top C Moon/Stairway to Heaven and Stone Free.

...I can't believe I never noticed that.

You're reading Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. You don't apply logic to this series.

Giorno the son of God defeats the devil.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Giorno the son of God defeats the devil.

Part V = DEEP.

 

[Jaxec]

Giorno the son of God defeats the devil.

Well damn. I didn't notice this.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Part V in general was just silly. Giorno's Stand is complete bullshit haha.
Like what the fuck did Golden Experience Requiem even do. Other than win.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

It Just Works vs. It Just Wins

 

[Jaxec]

This brightened up way day. Hopefully it does someone else good.

That part 4 and 6.

 

[cntr]

1: noblemen and their family issues
2: gay bigamy
3. road trip!
4. a guy with a part time repairman job, eats italian food, gambles, fixes windows
5. a guy dyes his hair, joins the family
6. drunk driving leads woman to find religion
7. cowboys with balls, who find jesus and betray their country
8. FFFFFUSION-HA

 

[Boss Doggie]

This brightened up way day. Hopefully it does someone else good.

That part 4 and 6.

they're all perfect but man that part 8!

 

[GKSilKamina]

This brightened up way day. Hopefully it does someone else good.

That part 4 and 6.

Man, that stuff is spot on. Really like #8 and #1.

 

[Matsukaze]

This brightened up way day. Hopefully it does someone else good.

That's gold. As has been mentioned, #8 is the best, though.

Congratulations on taking the napkin.

That last part though, hrmmm.

That Jojo All Star Battle game from a few years ago, most of the reviews I've seen of it were basically, "eh, it's alright." but they weren't from Jojo fans. How was that game really? Just okay or better than that?

 

[GKSilKamina]

"Eh, it's alright" is a pretty good way to describe it.

From a pure fanservice perspective, it's absolutely amazing. Lots and lots and lots of attention to detail.

From a gameplay perspective...it's just okay. Not a particularly great fighting game, but it's serviceable.

Story mode is garbage, though. Just text? C'mon now.

 

[Tizoc]

2 months til Part 4 anime! Need to finish watching Purple Rain for character screenshots and make a draft 3.0.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Well from a Jojo fan standpoint, the fan-service in All-Star Battle is top-fuckin-notch'. Nearly everything is a reference to something that makes you wanna go back and read the series. That on top of the performances, both voice acting and animations, of each character is a near perfect match.

The actual fighting is just that though. It's alright. You can tell there was some good ideas here and there, but sometimes that can be overshadowed by bigger problems like how slow the pace of fights are. Story mode is pretty barebones too but since that's a hot topic right now, it might not bother you. Unlocking alternate costumes, which again are top-fuckin'-notch, gets repetitive pretty quick.

I'd say you should still give it a shot. I had fun with it despite it's problems.

I enjoyed playing it quite a bit, there are a lot of cool character mechanics even if they could have used some more polish. But I'd only recommend getting it now if you have somebody to play with, the single player is barebones and online is likely dead by now but if you want a fun couch fighter, you can definitely do worse.

That part 4 and 6.

how the fuck you guys can read from this super tiny jpg?

Jojo RPGs should really be more of a thing. It's just too cheap for a good fighting game.

 

[Squishy3]

Jojo's girls Valentine's Day photo shoot. Saw this pop up on Twitter.

 

[Boss Doggie]

when are we getting animal stand users again? Last was the stray cat

I want fire type Pet House

 

[Sibersk Esto]

No Hermes? smh

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Iwasuke, the "dog" thing from part 8, might have a Stand. Or it could just have rock powers.

Also, don't forget about Coco Jumbo, polnareff's true spirit animal.

 

[Astral/H3X]

"Iwa" means rock.

I haven't read part 8, but I'm just saying.

 

[Demise]

Part V in general was just silly.

Wich part is not ? Every part are silly. My favorite is Steel Ball Run by a large margin and damn, it's one of the most silly thing I ever read in my whole life.

There's an SNES Stardust Crusaders RPG. Japan-only, but there's a fan-patch.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I made a maymay.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I agree. Fighting games don't appeal to me at all.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I thought Iwasuke is an "animal" version of the pillar men part 8 ed.

And I don't think Coco Jumbo counts

 

[BinaryPork2737]

"Iwa" means rock.

I haven't read part 8, but I'm just saying.

The character that names it says that, too, for spoiler-related reasons.

I thought Iwasuke is an "animal" version of the pillar men part 8 ed.

And I don't think Coco Jumbo counts

Coco Jumbo has a named Stand though, it doesn't matter how useless it is in actual combat

It's never really said from what I remember (it's been some time since Iwasuke showed up in part 8), but

Spoiler

Iwasuke either had the stone disease and was affected by the fruit, or it's just a stone dog and the fruit affects its period of hibernation. If it is a stone dog, it might have a Stand, since 90%+ of the rock humans have Stands. It can still go through stone walls either way.
