- Part 5: Leone Abbacchio, Risotto Nero, Cioccolata/Secco
Abbacchio and Nero are probably the two biggest examples of characters who should be in ASB based off of story importance alone, but probably won't because their powers are really hard to translate into a fighting game. At least Abbacchio still has Golden Wind on the PS2.

You could probably just make Abacchio a stark contrast to other Stand Users and have him be a predominantly physical fighters who also happens to have a Stand that can work in punch rushes.

That said, I definitely see how it could be hard to make a full skillset for him and Nero.

You could potentially set up 300-IQ combos if you get the opponent caught in the right spot and then replay the last 10 seconds of your (or their) attacks while you wail on them from the other side. I could see it working pretty well tbh

Then when his super bar fills he replays his dead boyfriend and cries a bit

He's a cop, just give him a gun and make him do cop poo poo. Then let him use his stand to replay being a cop. Then use his stand to replay using his stand to

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
There's a Bedman from Guilty Gear that has a whole rewind mechanic that lets him do all kinds of weird poo poo, you could have Moody Blues do something like that. That might be a bit more complicated than this game wants to go for though.

They could always just make Abbacchio a mirror character or give him random move sets like Charade from Soul Calibur 2.

Abbachio only exists when you're playing as Giorno and he pops up in the corner of the screen to say "THAT'S loving BULLSHIT, gently caress YOU GIORNO" when you attack.

Just let them change Moody Blues so it's more fitted for combat, like High Priestess in HotF.

pretty confident they showed all the ones they're going to add from 1, 2, 3 and 7, going by the trailer

I don't remember either of the dudes that are with him or his sledgehammer.

Hitlersaurus Christ

I think the sledgehammer move is from when he destroys the stone mask. I don’t really remember the individual gang members either but I remember that they existed.
Honestly the part I’m most excited about is the soundtrack. Give me more references to real songs and soundalikes!

They're there for like a couple of panels and never seen again. Speedwagon just straight up abandons his homies because of how powerful and gentlemanly and muscley Jonathan is



e: and yeah the sledgehammer's from the last page of part 1 where he's destroying the mask

given how little screentime he's given overall, at least in a combat-oriented capacity, it's not too surprising if they exaggerate a couple aspects to form a complete kit for a game

They showed up again at the end when he’s seeing off Jonathan and Erina, right? Or was it when he destroyed the mask? Though I’m probably I’m misremembering.

They were playable in the PS2 Phantom Blood game and were part of Speedwagon's moveset in Eyes of Heaven, you basically can't have Speedwagon in a game without Tattoo and Kempo Fighter being there in some capacity

Not to excuse anything but does this game really even have a chance of being a fighting game standard or is it just for weirdos like us? Don't know the first thing about fighting games though I did get the platinum in the original release.

ASB is a jank-rear end game with too many problems to be competitive or anything like that. It's pretty much only for JoJo fans.

I plat'd the JP PS3 version.

Also the remaster doesn't have rollback netcode which is the new hotness so online will probably be poo poo.
