Wait...they changed Sex Pistols to Bullets!? That pisses me off more than Zipper Man! Why not call it Pistola or something like that?

 

[Tizoc]

Wait the name of Mista's Stand in the game is now Bullets? That's rather funny IMO.

 

[Reknoc]

Well, Sex Pistols do control the bullets rather than the gun.

 

[jgminto]

He only kicks bullets, he ain't no Hol Horse.

 

[Reknoc]

They should have been renamed Kickback

 

[jgminto]

Or Ricochet

 

[SolarKnight]

I love how the eyecatches are pretty much gonna be "WHO'S THAT STAND?...IT'S....MAGICIAN'S RED!"

 

[Crocodile]

What do those parameters translate to? It doesn't look like Magician's Red is a particularly strong stand.

 

[jgminto]

It's
Destructive Power B
Speed B
Range C
Durability B
Precision C
Developmental Potential D

It's the same as it was in the manga. I wouldn't put too much faith in the stats though. I think Araki just picks random rankings later on.

 

[Lirlond]

Stands are a bit like Haki, the power ranking isn't the be all end all. A stand like Harvest for example is super useful even if it's shit on the ranking.

 

[Haly]

Magician's Red is kind of hot ass.

 

[jgminto]

Can't wait to see Jotaro's wittiest moment in a few episodes.

 

[Tizoc]

For those that are familiar with Crunchyroll, will it charge my credit card once my 14 day trail ends? I really don't want it to do that...

 

[jgminto]

I think it does. You can stop that in the options but I don't know if it stops the free trial or just the renewal.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

What Part 3 Stand are you guys most looking forward to?

For me, it's Wheel of Fortune.

I really hope they go full-blown with the "fake out" ending of that fight, and have Wheel of Fortune seemingly win, with the credits beginning to play, and then in the middle of it Jotaro pops up and does the whole "Yeah right, I'm the main character!" thing.

That fight reminds me how Part 3 is really dumb and silly, especially when you re-visit it.

 

[jgminto]

Wheel of Fortune is pretty great. I love that it's basically a more fabulous Stephen Spielberg's Duel. If it's 2D animation for the cars it'll probably be an amazing episode.

I'm the most excited for Yellow Temperance though, レロレロレロ.

And the D'arby fights, and Petshop and...a lot of fights I'm pretty excited for. I'm even excited to see The Sun!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Now I'm curious what they changed to Aerosmith.

Probably gonna change it to "Will Smith"

IT'S STAR PLATINUM

GODDAMNIT

 

[Zonic]

Cross-posting from the All-Star Battle OT, but according to the PS Blog, there's going to be a demo of Jojo ASB coming this Tuesday.

 

[Haly]

Za Warudo, obviously.

I hope they don't change it to something stupid like The Earth.

I would, however, approve of a change to UNIVAAAAAAAAAAAAHS.

Is the game really coming this April? It's still not listed on Amazon, wtf?

 

[Zonic]

Listed right here, for April 29th, comes with Shigechi if you pre-order from them.

Rather surprised, since I recall Japan didn't get a demo. Wonder how many characters will be available to try out (& how many more name changes we can discover).

Sorry I meant Amazon UK. Only the Japan import is listed, I don't know why.

 

[Zonic]

Woah, the hell? I noticed in Italy if you pre-order from GameStop or Multiplayer, you get an "Exclusive Italy Cover"

 

[jgminto]

lol, what a shitty cover. It's just Giorno's ingame character art superimposed over the Rome stage!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Hey, where's the Johnny Cover for us Americans?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Best Jojo never gets to star on the cover

 

[Ezalc]

Oh god how awful.

Hey, where's the Johnny Cover for us Americans?

Clearly you mean Joseph.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Is that actually legit? It looks terrible.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Clearly you mean Joseph.

Joseph is British though, he just lives in New York.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Hey, where's the Johnny Cover for us Americans?

But Valentine is way more 'Murrica than Johnny.

 

[Zonic]

Is that actually legit? It looks terrible.

Yup, GameStop Italy & Multiplayer links show in addition to the two DLC characters, you get the cover as well. I assume it might be reversible, but it doesn't say.

Edit: Oh Hermes. Your silly behavior got a mention from the ESRB's rating.

One female character can taunt opponents by wiggling her buttocks and making suggestive comments (e.g., “Has anyone ever given you their panties? It's good luck, you know!” “Here! Take my panties! Take them already!&#8221.

 

[Ezalc]

Joseph is British though, he just lives in New York.

Hm I could have sworn one of his parents was like part American or something. Either way, the UK is slipping.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Both are British.

Lisa Lisa

was a baby on a British cruise ship filled with Brits and his father, Jorge, was the son of Erina (British) and Jonathan (British). I mean I dunno if he was born on US shores, which would make him a US citizen, but specifically talking about genealogy he's 100% British.

Japan did get a demo though didn't they? Unless I'm remembering incorrectly >_>;

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Dunno how everyone is forgetting Jolyne for the American representative, she's part Italian, British & Japanese and all of part 6 takes place in America.

 

[jgminto]

She's also from Florida though

 

[Boss Doggie]

She's also from Florida though

Hilariously enough some of her antics would land her to G A F offtopic

I tried searching for one both on Google & on the JPN PSN, but never found one.

This has got to be one of my favorite Jojo cosplay pictures

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wow, Jesus really is malnourished.

 

[Zonic]

Guess you could say he's all bones.

I couldn't resist the terrible pun...

 

[Lirlond]

Western Jojos cosplay is so rare. That group looks not bad too.

Would love to do a Jo2uke and SOFTANDOWETO duo though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I've always wondered what those lingering SFX text that appeared a lot in Jojo frames mean.

 

[jgminto]

I think they're all just comic book-like sound effects. Would be cool to know what they are without looking it up.

Yeah I know, I just wanna know what they mean. Are they "rumble rumble"? etc

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

When should the JJASB demo be up on the US Store?

It'll be up when Grace Chen feels like it =)
