This episode just cements for me that Joseph is my favorite JoJo. He's so stoked on himself for not crashing another plane that he stops paying attention and crashes the loving plane. Amazing.

They changed that to "what kind of sick gently caress would leave a huge rat corpse in front of my house?"

This random giant rat makes the story so much better that it's almost a shame that it's non-canon.

He's not exactly a bad pilot, he's just an unlucky one.

Seems more unlucky than bad, and even that might not be true considering how many times he's walked away from a plane crash.

Well, to be fair, of the four times that he crashed, two of those times were intentional.

It didn't become a "Haha, you suck at flying" gag until Part 3.

Well in a sense it's not really Joseph's fault.

Crash 1: He was a child and was starting poo poo against hijackers. Self defense.
Crash 2: He had been fighting super-vampires all night and was being pursued by a hyper-super-vampire. He was also attacked by piranha.
Crash 3: Fifty years later; the actual trained flight crew had been murdered and Joseph successfully completed a water landing with no casualties.
Crash 4: Poor estimation of low-ceiling ground hazard of a sort that many a pilot makes; many a pilot who is not a seventy year old man who is also getting kicked in the shoulder repeatedly by Kakyoin. Even Hermit Purple's control doesn't seem to let HIM react faster, it just makes him interface better with the electronics.

He also had zero fatalities in any of these crashes.

The most sensible thing for them to do would have been to get a Lear jet from the Speedwagon foundation and use Hermit Purple to fly it at high altitude to Cairo, or at least Tel Aviv or something. Of course, they would have missed Polnareff along the way, and also missed out on icing J. Geil, so I guess it works out.

Hijackers were self defense! As for the others, Kakyoin killed Grey Fly, Grey Fly killed the pilots, none of these were Joseph's doing!

And the octopus. Where the gently caress did the octopus come from?

Also, you missed 2.5, where he crash lands the plane into the airport as he gets to Japan to visit Jotaro. I mean, it wasn't put in the manga or anime, but you know it totally happened.

I haven't fully caught up to the show yet but my favorite part was in a single episode Stroheim rips off his shirt to show he has powered up, Lisa Lisa rips off her cloak to get ready to fight, and since Kars is already naked he does this

It spoils the outcomes of the main conflicts and the designs and special techniques of approximately 24 as of yet unintroduced, central characters.

Just play it, it's fun. I learned about JoJo like 11 years ago and no amount of spoilers have ruined it for me.

For extra fun, after unlocking the characters (~50 battles in story mode), play it with someone who's not familiar with JoJo.

Also, the demo is still up on NA PSN, I think, so you can try that to see if you like it. (Booting it up also gives you 100,000 points to unlock gallery stuff in the full game with.)

So incredibly true. The best characters to do this with are major spoilers, but people like ACDC and Will A. Zeppeli get great reactions.

the demo is kinda bad bc you're stuck with jotaro and abdul as the only playable characters for some reason and they're mad boring unless you know how to do fancy stuff with them

Jotaro, Dio (Part 1), and Caesar Zeppeli are playable in the demo, but you fight other characters like Avdol.

Of the characters already introduced in the anime, you can play as:

Battle Tendency: Joseph, Caesar, Lisa Lisa (DLC), Wham, ACDC, Cars
Stardust Crusaders: Jotaro, Old Joseph (DLC), Kakyoin, Abdul, Polnareff, Hol Horse (w/ J. Geil), DIO

Abdul/Avdol always shows you when someone started getting into Jojo, its the only namechange in the anime that really stuck. Even people who are just watching now are going to say J Geil instead of Centerfold

Eh, Avdol was the name used in the Capcom game way back(2000). It's been the official name for a while (it's used in the French edition, for example).

The game does spoil something somewhat big that isn't the final fight. I'd say more but the nature of the topic would is spoilers.
