I want an opinion from the thread and this is not 100% a guaranteed thing that is going to happen, but if I were to maybe possibly LP JoJo games should I theoretically start in chronological order of game release or game based on series. The former has the benefit of allowing me to show off the changes in both game tech with JoJo games and the trading of the IP to different publishers and how that effects and the other pushes the story in order but forces me to play an insanely lovely game to start and I wouldn't want to maybe set the mood of a theoretical JoJo LP with the worst game first.

I'd suggest if you really don't want to play much of a lovely game, just show off a little bit of it and write about why it's bad. There aren't really many Jojo games, but it would suck if you burned out because you felt obligated to play through them entirely.

in the past there definitely have been threads solely for the purpose of playing through all the games pertaining to a series, or at least showcasing them to some degree. a jojo's game one would probably be welcome.

Regular Polnareff or Anubis?

sorry, the second of the Anubis-Polnareff fights. I'd like to beat it for the rewards you get, but honestly he's so much faster and has moves that do Jotaro's whole health so I'm going to have to call this one until a NG+, I guess

This is a good post and I agree with it 100%. The AU Diego fight is great thematically and conceptually, just it coming off of Valentine left me real exasperated the first time. While it ties in with the ending in a way you can't really move it, I'm conflicted it on in weird ways that may just be me.

Steel Ball Run is probably Araki's best writing on a large scale and great characterization. Johnny and Gyro are super good characters with Johnny probably being one of the most nuanced JoJo's. It's just all so good and I hope JoJolion is even half as good. Right now I have no idea what I think about JoJolion cause What The gently caress.

i will probably have to reread the series at some point, SBR sticks out as something that i should have liked more but was fatigued by the end of. hot pants dying sucked, i was confused by some of the stand poo poo, and DIegO seemed p out of nowhere, but i was definitely just shooting through it to catch up. i love the phrase THE WORLD WHERE EVERYTHING IS BASED a lot though

also i need to reread jojolion bc lmao :psyduck:

I haven't played in forever, but if you need someone for exhibitions I could bust out my fight stick for it, though for an lp just doing the story mode might be better.

My plan for the LP is to upload companion videos to the super story mode eps where I talk about the respective characters of the game and show off their moves and some combos and talk about their playstyle and who is cool. I have a lot of love for that game and it sounds like it would be a good idea if I just started the LP with that.

Also you might see three different versions of the game used in that LP too because I am not using the PS1 version to show off how fun the actual game is

I played the Heritage fighting game as my first Actual Fighting Game and fighting Avdol with Jotaro in the prison was the hardest thing in the world. Then ASB came out and I got good with spamming Kakyoin's Emerald Splash and then sorta good with Josuke.

I'm real bad at fighting games.

Same. It'll be fun to actually see people play the game as it was intended instead of hitting a bunch of buttons and hoping it works out.

I mained Kakyoin, Mariah, and Midler, and got sort of okay because I always brought the game to my friends' weekly game sessions and forced everybody to play it with me.

Yeah, I tried he demo for Heritage and I have never been able to beat Abdul, the very first fight. I don't know how people play these things.

I've seen Abdul body more new fighting game players than any other first fight ever. projectile spam characters are really hard for new people to fight against already, and even though the first fight is easy if you know about how to compete with that character type, throwing someone against him to start is really rough.
