for better or worse CC2 stuck to using actual stuff araki drew to base moves from, even if they're willing to play with it a little (see pucci throwing a disk at a guard to take over his mind somehow being turned into a disk hadouken that just hurts people)

It's almost like you don't know who Storm is.

There are plenty of things you can do with a stand that uses the weather.

You only have about 30 seconds to make it work, but boy does it work. You can force-flinch opponents, erase any attacks coming at you, you have an unblockable projectile that goes at light speed, and his muda muda punches are the longest in the game.

It's Giorno's level 2, but the start up is rear end slow, so you pretty much have to use his level 1 to set up into it. His level 1 is his slow mo punch, which sends the other person to the other side and disables them for a bit because they're ~overflowing with life energy~

Then you stab yourself with the arrow and you can start doing fun things. He can shoot out a projectile that does that auto flinching thing mentioned, and you can also super jump across the arena. His rush punch is also like 5 times longer than all the other ones in GER.

e: Here's a guy doing some Giorno stuff:

Jotaro's full ORAORAORAORA is a few punches longer, I think. Somewhere around 52.

Lisa Lisa is also the inspiration for a Capcom fighting game character who's been around for nearly twenty years, so (while I haven't played ASB) I suppose they could have just stolen stuff right back. :v:

Well, upon looking at Lisa Lisa's moveset, some of her attacks are things she didn't use in fights.

For instance, she has an attack based on the time she placed the Ripple training mask on Joseph's face and another move based on the time she demonstrated the Super Aja's sunlight enhancing ability.

Reminder that the digital version is out NOW. Every single sound effect kanji has a tiny, unobtrusive english translation next to it, but there's some awful artifacting on the colored pages around english text.



Black and white pages are fine, though???

They're the Jojonium releases. I think Phantom Blood was 3, and Battle Tendency was 4 Jojoniums.

The physical copy is only going to be $15-ish, which isn't bad.

I disagree. I also am now chanting at the bit for the print. I've been wanting jojonium for some time now. I just hope they keep the same quality in the translated version as they did in the original.

I'm sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is Jojonium? Is Araki redrawing/overseeing the redrawing of the early material? Is it a reboot or just a way to tie everything under a single, maybe more refined, drawing style and aesthetic?

They're omnibus-esque releases. Large pages, glossy paper. Only the covers, and I think an emblem on the first parge, are new art.

Here's some guy in a hideous sweater showing them off.

There should be a law against Araki drawing his pre-Act IV characters (possibly omitting Jotaro *) ever again.

I think the new young Jonathan looks pretty good, he's certainly different from the original but I think it would still feel like the same character if we saw more of him in the new style.
