What're you niggers smoking, we had all kinds of Jojo games and the only two that worked 100% right are a fighting game and a fan-made RPG, and even then the fan-made RPG only works because of the amount of fan wank thrown in. If anything, stuff like ASB prove that only a cuhrazee fighting game is the kind of shit that best suits Jojo, with tons of mechanics to use rather than having twenty different animations for just a big hurty box in front of you.

I think the end of Part 3 would've worked better if Jotaro had been hinted at being able to instinctively use the most basic form of hamon without training when he's very focused on fighting without realizing it, being the descendant of three extraordinarily talented users and all (Jonathan, Lisa Lisa, and Joseph). The idea would've been pretty solid, since Jonathan was unconsciously using it as soon as he learned it, and Joseph inherited that talent and was very skilled in its usage at a young age. Would be a bit less of an asspull than Dio having a bad leg that explodes on contact.

Because the fighting game was made by Capcom and at the time Capcom was your go to and the fan game was made by someone extremely dedicated to get it right. ASB is ass as a fighting game and EoH fell right into Bamco's shitty arena fighter pit along with most anime games under them. The SNES JoJo RPG was shit. Golden Wind was passable. The Phantom Blood beat em up was good in combat but exceedingly repetitive. Then it's just a bunch of mobile shit and a fucking battle Royale of all things. With how JoJo is as a basic concept with stands, there can be so much more. Hell even just Hamon has a ton of potential for games but we get to ride in mediocrity.

I suppose that if you're weighed down to the point where you're not completely stuck but are still somewhat able to move, you could make it so that you have to give 3 times the effort to complete one movement, like 3 punches to actually complete a single punch, but that'd be dumb. Maybe you should just make an original stand story with its own characters and stands built around the gameplay you want.

To be clear, I don't think that part 7 is a bad manga, the art is absolutely gorgeous and the pacing is very well done, it has some neat fights but I just didn't enjoy it in the slightest. Johnny and Gyro have zero chemistry and Gyro's jokes make no sense which I really feel like is the translation's fault. I also think that Jesus is very underutilized, all he ever does is help Johnny for a bit and then he disappears forever. The only character I actually liked was Lucy because she and her "husband" were the only likable people in the entire manga.

CC2 already has this problem with their naruto games, but since every modern fighting game is falling for the meme of "make it look good for spectators" everyone started shoving lengthy cinematic sequences into their titles. Shame that they took out move variety for a guaranteed road roller and an admittedly well done reference. But I prefer it when you can choose if you want to road roller or not and take advantage of positioning during the end of timestop instead of always jumping backwards.

Obviously it wouldn't be action oriented, but JoJo has plenty of outlandish elements to make the escape of a bizarre mansion perfectly doable.

Or a number of Stands combine to make the environment batshit insane, and figuring out the individual Stands, defeating them and recruiting their users over time.

But Jojo is hardly about the combat. The best examples of Stand battles are fights like Darby, Zuccerro, and *insert Part 8 fight here* because they're incredibly tense and creative without having the characters do any actual fighting. I think the best way to do a Jojo game is to make an action game based entirely around puzzle bosses and abrupt genre shifts, and even then I don't think it'd ever be able to completely capture the JJBA brand of pulling utter nonsense out of your ass to win.

Stone ocean has some of the least interesting fights and developments of any part. Dio's sons were all trash as both antagonists and as fighters, slight retcons on Dio himself that try and paint him as more sympathetic or whatnot. An incredibly uninteresting setting of the prison where we spend most of our time. And some of the most shoddy writing that Araki has put out and that's saying something coming off of Part 5. And hands down the least interesting main antagonist who is a largely clumsy zealot whose only saving grace is that he managed to kill the main cast at the tail end.
Jojolion despite having comparably less of a focus has kept me interested in the various factions of rock humans and their respective goals. Yeah, the Scotch brothers were forgettable, Joshuu needed to be upgraded with Rai, and this current arc may make or break whatever finale Araki is trying to set up. But I can say that Gappy trying to get his memories back has been well written. The Higashikata household provides a nice base for things to happen at. Norisuke and his Oldest Son are great characters and the Trap's arc has taken an interesting turn which really reflects how desperate he must feel.
Part 8 lacks a strong direction but that doesn't mean it lacks cohesion overall. We're clearly leading into something and I care to see what that is. What exactly is good enough about Part 6 to not make it worse than Part 8?

I figured that was the case, that star platinum, despite being powerful, had no real trait to it, whereas all the other stands encountered had some sort of manipulation ability and special skill, thus as it goes on, the viewer should start going "wait… if star platinum is so great… why doesn't it have an ability?" When DIO drinks Jonithan's blood and correctly attaches his head, it's shortly after that Jotaro shows he can also use the time stop, indicating it's inherited in some way.

Too bad the movie isn't the series I read. I just didn't care to be locked up in a prison that has somewhat impossible architecture. Especially in a series known for globe hopping adventures and varied locations. Once they finally broke out things should have improved but surprisingly Florida is also really fucking boring in the world of Jojo.

Just because you've never been somewhere doesn't make it interesting. Going further, most prisons are incredibly fucking boring if you've ever visited one to see relatives. Everything is controlled to such a degree nothing fun happens. Prison break stories are fun not because prison is interesting but the struggle of getting out of one. You can have more colorful characters yeah. But any time a prison is interesting is explicitly because it's not acting like an actual prison but some fantasy/global conspiracy setting like Dead Man Wonderland or all of Impel Down in One Piece.
>>16597815
See? The only way you made a prison interesting was by (((subverting))) expectations of what a prison is supposed to be like. Prison's in and of themselves are not interesting. You also seem to fail to realize Araki doesn't do much creative work as far as environments and geography. I can only think of the time with Tarkus in Part 1, the implied pillar man civilization in 2, D'Arby the Younger's game room (which was just a sham) in 3, the radio tower in 4, Mr President in 5 I guess?, the underground airplane in 6, the moving desert in 7 and Walleyes in 8. Araki doesn't do good world building whatsoever, his maindraw is his character dramas and interesting fight scenes, but he doesn't set out to just explore some weirdass location because it is there and weird like One Piece does for contrast.

Respectfully disagree, almost every fight with Jolyne is great and Stone Free is, along with Crazy Diamond, the only protagonist stand that doesn't become insanely broken towards the end, which leads to some of the most creative moments in the entire series. Jolyne actually has to use her brain instead of "lol I can stop time too" and "lol I'm actually Jesus and my stand is super fucking broken even without the Requiem Arrow".

I think Araki actually handled that pretty well across the iterations. Jotaro getting time stop at the end of part 3 didn't make him invincible in part 4 as the Rat stood a good chance at killing him of all things, and because Joestars don't practice their fighting styles between parts just like how Joseph didn't keep up with the Ripple between 2 and 3. Giorno is the only one to really piss me off with how broken he is and he's like that the entire series.

I assume you mean part 6. Read further down from that comment but tl:dr I just didn't find it an interesting location especially in a series known for travelling around. Yes the prison has a couple setpieces like the nearby swamp and Emprio's room but that didn't really make it work for me.

I understand that its because he didn't want to die but why didn't the arrow just fuse him and Silver Chariot Requiem? I also don't get why Requiem is capable of mutating life simply by existing.

I don't even pretend that Araki stays consistent so whether you stab yourself or your stand if you can survive you get a requiem. Killer Queen fits the MO of a desperate person being stabbed and gaining a situationally perfect ability based on their desires which is what happens twice in part 5.

Thinking and reading about it further, not quite, Silver Chariot Requiem's ability is the same in the flashback sequence where Polnareff accidentally scratches it's finger with the arrow and was in no way close to dying. That was always Silver Chariot Requiem's ability. What happened when he hit it this time is that, at the current moment right before Polnareff's body died, he wished with all his might for Diavolo to not get the arrow, so Silver Chariot Requiem just kept going on with this directive. It's just that Requiem stands are fucking OP bullshit by default.

I think it depends on the severity of the wound, Jolyne suffered only a tiny cut but it was enough to awaken her stand. Meanwhile Giorno stabbed his chest and so did Kira, which granted both of them a requiem ability and in Giorno's case a whole new stand. I'll never forgive Araki for not giving KQ Requiem a new design.

Not necessarily, it probably just gains access to your consciousness.

If you niggers look closely you will see that the requiem arrow has a decorative beetle on it where the others do not. It's a completely different arrow from the normal ones. I believe this is one of the few times Araki remembered, or more likely his editor, that GE got stabbed with a stand arrow so he made a second, different, arrow that powers up stands. This is all but outright stated by the importance the manga places on this arrow in particular.

8337fa No.16603403

It's hard to say. Before I get technical I just want to say that the crux of my argument is that it makes more sense that Dio could do foot surgery using his vampire powers than having a stand ability he's never displayed before or since. Araki wanted Dio to perform a miracle for Pucci no matter what so I don't think the distinction is truly important, but the latter fan theory I find annoying.
One of the first important things is whether or not Pucci's bones are fucked up and need to be broken to be fixed. If that is the case then without a doubt he was cured with a Crazy Diamond-like ability. However I decided to look up what "twisted toes" are and there's a couple different varieties that I don't think apply to Pucci, but they are similar. Hammer Toe, Claw Toe, and Mallet Toe. These are caused by wearing shitty shoes and not caring for your feet. The joints get fucked up and out of whack. It's very possible that when Pucci was in the womb that foot was in a bad position and his joints ended up forming that way.
The important part though is that the joints seem to be the problem, not the bones. The way milder cases of twisted toes are treated is by taping the toes, wearing special inserts, and generally trying to bend them back into place over time. Serious cases do need surgery to correct and Pucci's was clearly a very severe case.
Using The World makes a great deal of sense since one problem with my argument is that we never actually see Dio remove Pucci's shoe (IIRC). As you said, it would be completely in character of him to pull his shoe off, reach in and fix his joints, put the shoe back on, then start time again. I would also argue that this would mean Pucci could not feel pain from it because there was no time for his nerve endings to sense anything was wrong. Of course I must concede that he should have felt some pain after time started again. If you were to stop time and give someone an indian burn they would not feel the twisting of their skin, but they would feel the inflammation left behind.
I think I've written enough about this gay nigger's foot tbh.

It's an old-school JRPG with gameplay based on the SaGa series. The combat is basic and a bit grindy, but the amount of meaningful choices you get are astounding. Multiple endings, alternate routes, alternate bosses, stand specific ways to solve problems etc.
>It looks like some sort of self insert horse shit from the screencaps and artwork.
The main character is your own self-insert that joins the heroes, hence the title. There is actually an in-story explanation for this and you are being pursued by an organization that wants to stop you from altering fate. The game starts with a personality quiz that not only determines how your character talks and responds to situations, but what stand you get as well. So the character is pretty much meant to represent the player.

Jotaro's time stop ability was hinted at. Also given the relationship with Dio when he took over his ancestor's body and awakened Jotaro's stand power, the symbiotic relationship between the two was an obvious correlation. The only real bullshit thing from Stardust Crusaders was Avdol's first death. The only reason he even came back later was likely fans upset at the time and complaining about it because it really didn't serve much of a narrative purpose.

I do remember hearing of an interview were Araki states that he always intended Avdol to died to bring him back to life as a way to rise the stakes of the part at having a character "dying" so early. Still, his real death is kind of bullshit with him getting attacked from behind and that's it, a better idea would be him getting kill by Dio just like Kakyoin that would have pushed Jotaro to get good at time stopping even faster.

The thing is, that if all the other characters stacked their stands they could easily beat DIO in a manor that makes sense that isn't "OH SHIT JOTARO IS THE ONLY HARD COUNTER".
I haven't read past part 6 so no bulli, but what if the cast went to dimension where Jotaro at the end of part 3 didn't fry DIO after he killed him, they find where DIO's body is kept, Josuke restores his body to be whole and Giorno gives the body a fake life and then it comes down to the other to try and destract DIO so that the "Restored" DIO can merge with reg DIO and BAM, D4C Effect whatever the fuck it's called.
Hell, even if they bullshit something like Jonathan has the exact same Stand as DIO since they're technically the same person barring the head, then that would make more sense.

I think a better way to look at it is not ideals, but the person finding their own potential or developing closer to a 'true' self to cause change. Look at Koishi and Johnny, both started off with little twerp stands but as they progressed through the story they developed alongside them as far as capabilities go.
Maybe it's possible for a ideological shift to occur to such an extent that it could change the stands appearance, but abilities not so much.

Assuming it didn't go full "The number 4 no longer exists" tier meme power,it could have done some intresting stuff with luck manipulation. That could maybe allow him to not get hit by his own bullets for once

Requiem has no link to the original stand whatsoever. The first rule Araki wrote about it is that it would govern the human soul, and he immediately dropped that with GER. So it's ultimately pointless to speculate. Requiem is a mess of dumb ideas and the nail in the coffin of worst part.

Raising the stakes is fine, only Pucci does it in an absolutely excessive way (being kind of the point). The real core problem with Vento Aureo is that the whole third act is spent trying to convince us King Crimson is all powerful. Bitch, there's no way it is. Being able to skip five seconds into the future is a worse Mandom. As long as you know how it works - and Bruno does - all you have to do is set up a situation where a 5-second heads up won't do shit. Like how about toxic gas ? Toppling a building he's in ? I know that's pedestrian and doesn't belong in JoJo, but with their powers combined, surely the Buccellati crew would have come up with something.
Point is, King Crimson is a good Stand, but no way in hell does it warrant a universe-breaking plot device just to defeat it.

Pretty sure the issue is that he also has Epitaph. It'd be pretty much impossible to get the guy into a situation like that when he knows what's going to happen. Even if he can't change his fate, he'll still be able to react to it and prepare a countermeasure beforehand.

King Crimson without Epitaph is literally fucking useless, it simply needs it to function. So obviously I was talking with Epitaph. If Purple Haze had still been around, all the party needed to do was make Diavolo chase them in some place, spread Purple Haze's virus, and Epitaph would only warn Diavolo five seconds before the symptoms developed, but he would have been infected way before that so RIP. What's that ? Fugo quit for exactly this reason ? So what, Gold Experience can pretty much do anything, so why not create invisible and odorless poisonous fungal spores ? He didn't need to become "nuh-huh, I win - the Stand".
Ultimately, yes, King Crimson is just a shitter, needlessly convoluted The World Araki tried to paint as unbeatable when it wasn't.

>King Crimson without Epitaph is literally fucking useless, it simply needs it to function.
I'll disagree on this, Epitaph is what makes King Crimson as potent as it is but even without it Epitaph you have a stand that disconnects the user from the regular flow of time and allows them to maneuver themselves however they desire without being able to touch their opponent. But they can still take the initiative on their opponents by exploiting the confusion that occurs from the time skip.
It's still a worse version of The World at the end of the day but the ability is still pretty strong.

Yeah okay, you're right, just the ability to throw oneself forward in time skipping any consequence is useful even if you don't know what you're stepping into. But without Epitaph, I'd rather have Mandom than King Crimson.
No, wait a second, Mandom basically is King Crimson with Epitaph. Since it rewinds time, it erases any bad event, leaves the enemy confused too, and you saw what happens without the need for any additional power. It's just slightly worse than KC since it allows the enemy to have another shot, but if you're not a suicidal retard like Ringo Roadagain you shouldn't need one.

I really like Ringo and Mandom but I'd still take King Crimson sans Epitaph because Mandom requires you to experience the time you're going to rewind meaning you can be killed before a chance to rewind occurs. Although without Epitaph King Crimson would require a strong sense of prediction and anticipation for attacks to effectively dodge damage much like Mandom would so they are equal in that respect.

At their current pace, my guess is that GER and Rolling Stone will be combined into the hour-long special, as sort of bookends to the series. Rolling Stone shows how the plot began, while GER shows how it ends. The only way I could see them doing it the other way would be if they included additional stuff beyond Rolling Stone, like having Fugo return to Passione after the epilogue as either an easter egg or a potential setup for a Purple Haze Feedback series. But otherwise, I don't see how you can stretch "Bucciarati gets chased by a rock" into an hour-long episode.
>>16656742
Yeah, with how hard Narancia was deathflagging there, I had to go back to the manga and check. Aside from the "I'll protect you Trish" part, he does say all that, but a bit earlier, not directly before he was killed.

This last episode (36) was five chapters and the episodes before were about four. If the next episode (37) is also five chapters then it will perfectly cover GER and the infinite death loop. It could end there, but I think they'd include the couple relevant pages from Chapter 589 as well; which is a very short chapter.
However this leaves only five chapters for episodes 38 and 39. I imagine they could stretch it out, but it's also possible that we'll get the worst sort of blue balls if they decide to spend time on Bruno's last words and end the episode on GER awakening.

Developing the ability to remember where everyone else is in the room would be a good substitute for epitaph. You get a guaranteed period of time where only you have initiative and most people are going to die to that unless they start the match at a severe range advantage to mitigate getting punched in the chest to death once the time skip ends.
The ability itself is still good, but yes it requires Epitaph to be as "flawless" as Diavolo pretends it is.

You're just ignoring the fact that crumbling building and toxic gas hazards can't be predicted and evaded just five seconds ahead.

Any toxins entering his body that are so slow acting that they get him a long time in advance would probably also be curable with some symptoms he could probably notice, the only thing they had at their disposal was Purple Haze and that was a very fast acting stand.

No, i'm talking about his main ability, people are still going to move and do what they normally would do in that time frame eg shoot you, they're just not going to remember they did it. it is useless without epitaph

>>16660217
>i'm talking about his main ability
His main ability makes him functionally invulnerable for at most 10 seconds. Forecasting allows his defense to be virtually impregnable once he has seen the future but saying skipping time is useless without it is retarded. All he has to do is be a better strategist to compensate for the lack of Epitaph. We even see that he can use King Crimson on reaction to avoid potential loses although Bruno aiming for a different target in pic related might have something to do with why he only got off with the zipper on the cheek.
So it's not a huge detriment that people still move in the skipped time if you just run up behind them and kill them like normal. Or just move out of the way of their attack and do any of the other things Diavolo did like throwing blood in their face or shoving a gate in their body.

He had already been hit then he activated his ability. You want more proof he becomes invicible? >>16660206 show that even without moving if he erases time bullets don't hit him when fired directly at his body.
So even a punch doesn't mean anything if he can activate his ability before or during a blow if he gets the timing right. Epitaph just allows him to precisely nail the timing every time. You can still learn to anticipate and react to things without it.

That's not my concern here. I'm just stating that King Crimson's time erasure gives you an unparalleled defense. The only offense I've mentioned is stuff we've already seen like blinding people or using the environment to kill someone. That has nothing to do with Epitaph at all. The ability isn't useless is all I'm saying. The guy who compared it to Mandom had the right train of thought and you're not going to sit there and tell me Mandom is a useless ability either.

Jotaro winning isn’t what makes me hate the last fight, it’s that the game goes out of its way to show you that “Woah, Dio is really powerful, watch him casually swat away GER and Tusk Act 4, how are they gonna beat him this time?” The only way it could get more egregious is if they brought in Ultimate Kars for Dio to make a bitch out of. If you go out of your way to show that Heaven Dio is stronger than the three strongest stands in Jojo, with D4C being the third, then perhaps defaulting to “Jotaro wins because hurr, same type of stands.” even though that’s stupid because The World has evolved into something completely different from Star Platinum. Why bother collecting all the other Jojo’s if they’re not going to do anything? A more poignant ending would be something like Jonathan realizing that even though Dio attained heaven, it’s still his body Dio is using, so he sacrifices himself to destroy Dio’s body and reduce him to a head, after that you can have the dum Star Platinum:The World Over Heaven And everyone has a happy ending.

My hipster Jojo opinion is that Part 1 is amazing and everyone should know it. Hear me out.
Phantom Blood Dio is the most entertaining villain of the entire series with his extreme hammishness and over-the-top cartoonish evil behavior (we see a little of this at the end of Stardust Crusaders, but I always want more). The dude knees a dog in the face and then later throws it into a furnace. Ledditors latched onto him immediately and spread annoying memes because Dio is legitimately, undeniably that great. When I first read shitty scanslations of the manga in 2007, I felt the same way, so I can't complain.
Jonathan is a purely good selfless fearless upright noble hero, which you can call cliche, and probably was in the 1980s, but in the current year I find Jonathan enjoyably different from all of the other Jojos, who are mostly assholes "with a heart of gold". There's something admirable about a protagonist who does the morally right thing in every situation, works hard to make himself strong to protect the weak and innocent, but shows no tolerance or hesitation in murdering the shit out of evil dudes.
Speedwagon (unironically my favorite Jojo character), is a character who does nothing but give exposition about the crazy crap going on so the reader isn't completely lost, but he's a rare good example because of his sheer earnestness. Speedwagon gets excited about every twist and turn of combat, and so do we.
The art in Phantom Blood is rough, what with the impossibly huge bodies and tiny heads, but Araki was clearly imitating FOTNS, and I admit I have a weakness for goofy 80s action manga. I would describe the art as "detailed, but not that good". Araki has had a problem with sameface his whole career, which is probably why most characters have insane hairstyles and all sorts of crazy crap glued to their outfits to identify them. But for a comic where gigantic steroid dudes punch each other in creative ways, the style fits perfectly.
Phantom Blood still has some definite weaknesses. Hamon is vaguely-defined and simply does whatever the plot requires at the moment. None of the characters (who mostly come out of nowhere) have much motivation beyond "I am good" or "I am evil". The art is a turn-off for a lot of readers. But overall, Phantom Blood is one of my favorite parts, and after stands, is what I first think of whenever I hear the word "Jojo".

I think part 4 really did a decent job of filling Morioh with interesting stand users, I wish more of the local stand users actually played a hand in tracking down and stopping Kira at the end of the day but overall it was a fun little town of weirdos. Tonio hands down is one of my favorite characters in the entire series.
Part 8 however has done the inverse of this where instead of the protagonist having this large network of stand users instead the antagonists are the ones with all the friends.

All Jojo parts reflect the times when they were written. When Jonathan appeared, big muscly shonenshit was all the rage, then Araki gradually moved on to do what other artists had already done but with a spin i.e. there used to be a big surge of psychic series but Araki hated that you could not tell where the attacks were landing so he created Stands as a way to throw punches with your mind and tell the reader where they're aiming. Jojolion is completely stale though.

Was not expecting anything, but I'm still let down on something that could've been good if the progress didn't degrade into a massive storm of half-baked ideas and donut steels. Not to mention, was there really a need for a sequel? And not only that, it's sort of lame that

There didn't need to be a sequel, but there was and I can see what went down. Like all projects, It got bogged down by ideas guys, and had a distinct lack of artists, programmers, and musicians. I remember the old pastebin the team used to have where they would lay out the progress, and new shit was always getting added.
Not to mention that back when they used to post on here, there was a shitposter who browbeat them out of just using RPGMaker, the same song and dance that happened to the RPG /v/ tried making earlier this year. But once they switched to tumblr they stagnated, also, the art got worse. The sad thing is that a 7SU style game for Part Four is a good premise, and as long as they made it a rudimentary rpg laden with fan service like the first game, it wouldn't be too bad. But they had to one up Clayman, and thus the game is trapt in development hell, look forward to a full release in 2025, just in time for the anime of part 7.

To be honest, I feel that the designs for the female cast needs to be worked on a bit more. Aside from maybe the average and short, the rest feels like they just smashed everything that they think qualifies a JJBA character without giving more thought toward it and balancing it out. Like nerdy mc for example. Adding in the glasses gives the idea that MC is book smart, but what's the purpose of giving her octopus braids aside from making her stand out?
>if they wanted something like this, why not make the "distinctive" character sprites makes a return and have Jolyne for the Girl?
I can see why they didn't want to put another Jolyne esque mc since that's already implemented in 7su. But they could've of put a female mc that looks similar to FF. Fat mc is probably the only distinctive looking MC because she looks reminiscent to Valentine.
