TheLoneStar posted:For me it's the Metallica fight, at least for Part 5. Doppio's Stand having basically zero combative abilities really made for an interesting battle. The Metallica fight rules but it also means that Narancia is Diavolos MVP. Congratulations on getting yourself indirectly killed, kid. Haven't read much of part 6 yet but I have a general idea of the story and the ending. Doesn't Whitesnake (and by extension MiH) feel too convenient? From what I know of 6 it feels like Araki wasn't sure how he'd deal with Star Platinum and his solution was to steal it (which feels more bullshit than someone who's just hard to punch) and then end by making an exceptionally overpowered stand. I don't really have a problem with switching universes but it just feels like he powerscaled himself into actually needing a reset when it could've been solved another way. I might just be salty about almost everyone dying though.

My favorite fight is definitely The World because of just how many funny and cool moments it has. Senator Philips, DIO's skull heart, Jorato stopping his heart, road roller, Al Yancovic bit, etc.

Araki actually elaborates on his thought process on Made In Heaven and the world reset as an extra in one of the chapters, originally it was going to end in a clean win for the gang and probably wouldn't have escalated past C-Moon but he already had the idea in mind for SBR and wanted a 'return to nature' so the old universe was symbolically destroyed for the creation of the SBRverse, so I think Made In Heaven even existing was a last minute decision to justify the reset rather than the other way around

True Man's World, Johnny and Gyro vs. Valentine, and Damo vs. the Higashikata clan are all somewhere in the top 20.

C-Moon is by far the coolest of Pucci's stands. Whereas Whitesnake gets to pull out whatever abilities it wants and Made In Heaven is just omnipotent, C-Moon is a puzzle to be solved. Jolyne turning herself into a Mobius strip is my favourite moment in all of Jojo, the perfect combo of body horror, victory through self-mutilation, and Things Araki Just Read About.

maybe i'm kind of salty since its recent but the back half of Wonder of U where it's just 'rock insects' really, truly does suck, especially once it's the final loving boss and it's won by someone who wasn't really participating in the story at all

Still not read that but I was surprised Araki actually broke the 'ends of a time fight' tradition, sounds like Jojolion really got away from him by the end

i honestly legitimately wish araki would make some kind of statement to the effect of like 'yeah i just kind of lost it on that one and wanted to get it over with' so i wouldn't be occasionally stopping throughout my daily life and going "man i don't know about part 9" to a confused and intimidated stranger

It's kinda hard to pin down a worst fight, cause there usually ends up being some real good moments even in the bad fights. Like Notorious B.I.G. sucks, but it had Trish going full JoJo by destroying the plane so they can dump it off in the middle of the ocean.

Also Spice Girl's stand cry is wonderful which makes it even more annoying that Trish gets no other fights

Arist posted:Needs more Josuke Josuke is a great character but I struggle to find fights where he really shines in. The two that immediately come to mind are Highway Star and Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable. In the latter Kira honestly kind of takes the spotlight (arguably, Kira is the (villain) protagonist of 4, and Bites za Dusto into CDiU is the climax of Kira's arc), and in the former Josuke has multiple fantastic moments (with Rohan, the motorcycle, healing Fungami, Happy New Year). I could see an argument for Highway Star over Sheer Heart Attack or Pet Shop.

The best is Ringo Roadagain/Mandom (and the panel of Gyro bursting through the door is maybe my favourite single panel in JoJo) The worst is Baby Face. A stand that's creepy, makes no sense, and ends with more Gold Experience Does Anything bullshit.
