I got it and played a bunch. It’s good fun and definitely a big improvement over the PS3 version. Feels a lot more fast and fluid with more options and a lot more opportunities to pull off combos than in the original.

ASB was always fun, just probably not if you want something that's going to compete for an evo slot.
A version of it that runs and looks better with a few more characters is always going to be fun too.
Treat it as a fanservice ride, basically.

I’m far from being a fighting game expert or even being all that good at fighting games but the original ASB felt really slow and clunky and limited in options. Not to mention the long loading times and all the cool costumes being locked behind a terrible always-online mode with a stamina system. It was good fanservice but not really all that fun imo. The new version is a lot better

If you're on PC you can just use this mod to revert the name changes (ie Cool Ice back to Vanilla Ice). As far as I know it doesn't trip EAC.

- I do not recall offhand if the stone mask characters were locked down like they are in this new game (if someone is playing as a vampire, roughly half the stages in the game can't be played on for sun reasons... cool for lore but boy you're stuck with a lot of early series arenas as a result)

If you complete the big centerpiece fight for an associated part in ASB mode, you unlock the ability to use that group of vamps in the day stages. ie If you finish Part 1 you can use Dio Brando in all arenas and if you finish the first of the two Part 2 sections you unlock that for Kars.

Kars is definitely less memorable than most villains, even if he has a cool design and the hair reveal is fantastic. He's mostly remembered for what's probably the most over-the-top fight in all of JoJo and not for any of his actions or motivations though, unfortunately.

Kars has definitely got to be one of if not the first "Ultimate Lifeforms", it's a shame he's gotten outclassed by Shadow the Hedgehog

JJBA theory time: Dio's children each inherited different powers from Dio

Giorno: the only child with a JoJo name, inherited the most from Dio as well as Jonathan, having gained the ability to create life, heal, and resurrection (Jonathan) and the power of life alteration and splicing (Dio)

Ungalo: Dio's ability to turn mythical/historical figures (among other things) into monstrous killers

Rikiel: Dio's ability to sap away warmth from opponents

Donatello: Dio's ability to resurrect things from their resting place to do their bidding

Sometimes I remember that Joseph was married to 2 of the pillar men.

Then I remember that they asked Kars if he wanted to use his wedding ring too and he said no.

When Kars removed his head covering, he was not wearing any ring piercings to hold an antidote in.

There are at least 3 very different and equally likely ways to read that.

1. Kars doesn't have an antidote ring, he cares not for honor so why bother with the antidote to begin with?

2. Araki didn't think about that because it wasn't important to the plot or design for Kars to have any visible hoop piercings.

3. Prince Albert

This made me think of my favorite fight, and I think it's easily The World. Sure, the specifics of Jotaro's stand aren't the best, but nearly every second something amazing happens. Staring from the stars, to "I'm in the coffin?", senator Philips, World reveal, the heart trick, DIO having a skull heart, Jotaro in the sewers, it just keeps going and it's always great.

The Survivor fight was pretty fun to watch. I could feel the writing channeling Baki pretty hard there.

Just saw this bit and TBH I didn't mind it at all, it felt more like a natural family situation that makes sense in that context, with the twist that Polnareff is actually an adult ofc but I didn't find it worse than say Momo jumping into Nami's chest in OP which happens like 8 times. In the end with the way they say farewell after the fight it was kind of a sweet scene. The ship shower scene is a hell of a lot worse in my eyes because it is completely illogical and out of context (just arrived on a weird abandoned ghost ship and saw two men get decapitated? mmm it would be nice to shower off all that salt water) and sexily zooming in on a 10-ish-year old girl's steaming hot and wet legs and butt.

yeah, i'm not big on battle tendency but i do like him being a genuinely noble warrior and also the juxtaposition against kars for being kind of a dishonest rear end in a top hat in comparison

I was 100% sold on Joseph when he shot that cop's finger off. Other Joseph moments that solidified him as my favorite jojo of all time:
  • busting out the tommy gun to shoot up Straits and be like "I knew that wouldn't kill you, that was for Speedwagon you son of a bitch"
  • crawling away from Wamuu to seem like he was trying to save himself but then it turns out he was making a play to distract the pillar men so the others could escape
  • my #1 moment, when Cars was like "DID YOU PLAN THIS TOO JOJO" and Joseph seeing an opportunity to twist the knife and be like "YOU BET YOUR rear end I DID"
  • e: oh and right before that when Cars looks up to see Joseph flying the plane right at him 😚👌
