Are they gonna have that "alien" guy? Not sure how his fighting would translate. Also are we getting Doppio?
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
-
-
Not sure about Koichi (I'm pretty indifferent to him), but Bruno would be amazing. In my mind, he was the hero of Vento Aureo.
Yeah, if you were to describe Giorno in one word it would probably be "wingman."
I hope this isn't the entire roster though, I wanted Lisa Lisa, Diego, FF and Hot Pants as well.
Most of my favorites wouldn't translate to the game. I'm most excited about Hierophant Green, but Emerald Splash looks nerfed…

Doppio doesn't have much of any offensive capabilities, and King Crimson is nigh impossible to accurately translate into a fighting game. The Alien can transform into almost anything, so he has plenty of options. even just from what we've seen, he could turn part of his body into bars and skewer the enemy, or turn into a giant die and roll into them. His taunt could be eating ice-cream.
-
Mikitaka (alien) is one of my favourite characters from part 4 so it would make me very happy, but I wouldn't get my hopes up either.
-
i don't think the alien was in it for long enough to deserve a spot. I'd love FF simply because i love foo fighters lol
they won't but i'd like a support feature like in naruto cause then we could have more minor characters -
I think it'd be hilarios to have a DLC or whatever to add in a "normies" tournament. Where you can play as characters within the story that didn't actually gain a stand or ripple.
Grandma Erina vs. Lucy Steel!
-
Lucy got, like, the most broken stand in the series for a short while
-
Lucy got, like, the most broken stand in the series for a short while
Yeah, but it wasn't hers and she seemed to have no control on what it did. So I'm talking pre-Holy crap what's happening!? Lucy.
! Her taunt could be seduce older women >_<. Or just huddle in a corner and cry.
-
That Lucy seduction scene was pretty uncomfortable
-
Didn't Lucy kill two guys who only survived because of broken Stand powers?
-
I just picked up this manga/anime and I have to say, it is fucking amazing!
-
That Lucy seduction scene was pretty uncomfortable
Of course it was. She's 16. I was very much boggled by it. That seemed so random.
-
I'd say the Lucy seduction scene and not understanding why Funny shot Johnny are my two gripes with Part VII.
Oh, and how Mountain Tim has a personal explanation for why he calls the powers stands, and then everybody else calls them stands regardless
-
I'd say the Lucy seduction scene and not understanding why Funny shot Johnny are my two gripes with Part VII.
I assumed Valentine shot Johnny because he thought the effect of his Stand would disappear if he killed him.
That and he's a bastard and a liar and incapable of keeping his word. -
makes gooey noises about Gappy
Welp, that's me sorted. -
I just picked up this manga/anime and I have to say, it is fucking amazing!
That's nice! The manga or the anime?
-
Someone on Facebook said Kira will be download content, but since I can't read japanese I can't confirm it.
The guy at Kira's side has his face open as if he just recieved Rohan's ability, so. . .maybe Rohan's in too???
According to siliconera :
First print copies of the limited edition and vanilla game also include DLC codes for Hayato Kawajiri memo book and Yoshikage Kira. -
I assumed Valentine shot Johnny because he thought the effect of his Stand would disappear if he killed him.
That and he's a bastard and a liar and incapable of keeping his word.That doesn't make sense. He knew the infinite rotation wasn't a stand, and not all stand effects disappear after the users' deaths anyway. And he had every reason to keep Johnny alive until the rotation was reversed.

By the way,was Funny Valentine's backstory
! totally lifted straight from Pulp Fiction or did both of them borrow from some source I am not aware of ?

! I believe the Pulp Fiction stuff was intentional. The panels seemed to even use some of the same shots from the movie.
-

Those two guys didn't have any stand, they really died for good because of the head's influence on her.
.
And about Valentine, maybe he shot because he wouldn't let Johnny alive anyway. Or he thought Johnny wouldn't accept this, but made this deal as a trap to catch him by surprise.
.
And you guys question about this too much by seeing only the condition where Johnny was really inclined to fulfill his part of the deal and Valentine was just a "lying bastard" in the end. We didn't even know if Johnny was going to follow it, probably not because of his "dark intention". -
I'd say the Lucy seduction scene and not understanding why Funny shot Johnny are my two gripes with Part VII.
Yeah, have to agree with about Lucy. I can't stand that gross stuff.
I could postulate much about the end of the fight with Funny. I think the point of Johnny telling him to pick up the gun was that it would have fused with and disintegrated any gun on Funny's person. If he picked it up then Johnny would know if Funny had a gun on him. If Funny did have a gun then he was probably planning to double-cross Johnny, because if his intentions were pure he would have just thrown it away to further prove his sincerity. That's how I see it, but the point stands that Araki should have been more clear about it.

Not at all…Funny's father stuck the handkerchief in his EYE. It's entirely different!

Character portraits for some of the new characters revealed in All Star Battle if anyone is interested:

! I think he's talking about Blackmore and Funny. The former was on death's door because of her, and the latter died but switched his consciousness to another version of himself first. And she also managed to kill Other-World Diego straight out. Lucy is amazing.

We didn't even know if Johnny was going to follow it, probably not because of his "dark intention".Why would Johnny lie? Funny was already doomed to die. All of the leverage lay with Johnny anyway. And why would Funny want Johnny dead before he could follow through with any possible avenue to reverse the rotation? It's not like Johnny could easily fire off another, third rotation to kill him after that point, you need a horse at full gallop.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Evidently, Araki also took the backstory of the guy from the novel Holes for the backstory of one of Dio's sons in Part 6. It's one of those things that just makes you go "eh" because it's... too blatant to be plagiarism...?

Maybe Valentine just gambled on this one thinking the effects would end. Even if Johnny was unable to use the Golden Rotation and Valentine still believed he could use it, I don't think he was sure Johnny would fulfill his part of the deal. Johnny is the same thing, he was thinking about a new Gyro, but asked him to pick the gun. In any case, both were suspicious of each other and it would be a matter until one of them would attack first.

I like to interpret these kinds of things as intentional homages as opposed to plagiarism, given the sheer amount of it.
If it can still even be called plagiarism at this point Araki made it into an art.
-
Is it wrong that I found the seduction scene hilarious?I mean those goofy antics Funny's wife started doing as foreplay of sorts.
-
About why he didn't pick up the gun with the other hand instead of pulling the one he already had, I think that:
1 - In either way, the guns would be close enough to fuse and Valentine tried to shoot fast before that, or…
2 - He was nervous enough to not think about this and screwed the chance to kill Johnny without the guns fusing.EDIT: I always see all these references as an homage, because they are always constant in the series and he always mention about these references in his interviews and artbooks.

-
Welp, i almost choked to death laughing at that
-
Oh holy shit that's funny as hell!
-
That's the best…I need to print that out to give it to someone.

I don't think anything can be too blatant for plaigairism.
But again, if that's the case, why didn't he just pick up the gun with his other hand?
The gun was in his back pocket. If it would have fused at all, it would have fused regardless of the hand that grabbed it.
Maybe Valentine just gambled on this one thinking the effects would end. Even if Johnny was unable to use the Golden Rotation and Valentine still believed he could use it, I don't think he was sure Johnny would fulfill his part of the deal. Johnny is the same thing, he was thinking about a new Gyro, but asked him to pick the gun. In any case, both were suspicious of each other and it would be a matter until one of them would attack first.
But there's no reason he couldn't just wait to see if Johnny would reverse the rotation.

Most of those are just using similar layouts or poses, and more than a few look to be mere coincidence. Anyway, The Holes and Pulp Fiction backstories are by far the most blatant. Normally it's not intrusive to the story.

…yeah, pretty sure that's messed up. Part 7 is my favorite by a large margin, but that scene was painful to get through. That woman is easily my least favorite character in the whole series, right next to Iggy (yeah, I said it).
EDIT: I always see all these references as an homage, because they are always constant in the series and he always mention about these references in his interviews and artbooks.
It's fine by me as long as he isn't too blatant about it, which he is on occasion.
-

You are assuming Valentine was thinking rationally and sanely at that point.
Maybe he honestly believed killing Johnny would save him.
Maybe he just wanted to take Johnny down too. -

Maybe he just wanted to take Johnny down too.Even if both of those facts are true, waiting for Johnny's decision would lose him nothing, and only help his chances. And yes, I do think he should have been in a rational mindset. He had just given a very compelling speech, saying everything he could to convince Johnny. He had shown himself to be very rational up to that point.
-
It looks like Valentine's deal was more of a trap than waiting for Johnny to help him.
.
And blatantly or not, these references are very cool and the fact he shows them remembers me of Watsuki. -
It looks like Valentine's deal was more of a trap than waiting for Johnny to help him.
Johnny was standing an odd dozen yards away from him before the deal was proposed, and that's where he was standing the whole time. There would be no reason Valentine wouldn't just shoot him at the start. You could also argue that Valentine was worried about Johnny shooting him dead instead of reversing the rotation, but again, if that were the case he logically should have started shooting immediately. It was extremely clear that Johnny was the only one who could save him, and he was on the verge on getting him to do so until Johnny threw the gun. There only plausible explanation I see is that the gun would have destroyed his and possibly make Johnny change his mind as a result, so he took the chance to kill Johnny.

You might propose Valentine was trying to lure him closer, but no, from the first word he was only trying to get Johnny to shoot him: which he could do at his current distance.

I thought we were talking about Valentine's cards and got confused for a second. I really am a dumhuvud sometimes.
-
Just finish reading Part 1 et 3. Do not care about the manga as a whole but Dio Brando and the story telling are quite fantastic.
I juste have one question : How Dio was defeated by Jotaro ? I read it 4 time, watched it in OAV and failed to understand it.
-
Jotaro stopped time (Star Platinum evolved), and then punched Dio sohard he shattered.
Dio then couldn't regenerate in time.
-
Ok, I feared I misunderstand but no… So the end of the Dio VS Jotaro fight is blood piss. Jotaro can stop time to ? How come ? Dio felt for it ?
-
The general implication is that The World really did have all the powers of the active Joestar Stands (at the time) and the time stop was shared between The World and Star Platinum.
-
Is it imply somewhere or just fan speculation ? I've seen the OAV Jotara vs dio fight, the thing was STRONG. Even tought dated, the animation is really catchy. I'm not really fan of the whole jojo things, but damned Dio is sure one of a character. I like the fact that we see him evolve from a simple evil teenager to one of the most merciless, badass, broken, coolest vilain ever.
I do not know who's the best between him and Hisoka, but that's freaking tight.
I can't wait to see Jojo vs Dio in the new animated serie.
-
Well Dio was shown to be able to use Hermit Purple whenever he wanted to so it seems very likely that's the deal with The World.
-
I thought that it was mentioned in the manga that the Joestars had overlapping abilities with Dio was because Dio is still using Joesph's body. So there's this weird bond from sharing the same blood.
-
Joestars are connected by a spiritual link that's symbolized by the star birthmark. Therefore, when Dio gained a stand while using Jonathan's body, every other Joestar developed a stand too (including Jousuke, which is why he suddenly got sick as a baby–he got the same stand sickness Holly did). Because of the spirit-link, Dio's stand enjoyed powers similar to that of every Joestar, but couldn't reach full power until he fully synchronized with Jonathan's body. The World's time stopping power was Star Platinum's innate ability, and Dio and Joutarou's fight forced Star Platinum to unlock its evolved ability.
-
does it ever say what sparked GioGio's stand then. The above makes sense for the first 4 and jolyne through the arrow but GioGios kind of appeared
-
Stands are explicitly hereditary, just like the ripple was. Besides, you can develop a stand naturally without an arrow.

Jotaro hit the leg Dio broke himself to blind the latter with his blood. Then Star Platinum could shatter The World with this.
