Because they're out of print, the entire english release is out of print because Viz doesn't give a gently caress. (It sold badly)
Having started collecting them since Christmas, I've so far been able to snag vol.1 and then 7-16 easily. I'm gonna have to hunt for the missing ones and do some creative negotiation to complete my collection without going broke.

Oddly enough, when I looked through the first volume, I noticed that it was a second printing dated "September 2012".

I feel that since Caesar got in, she might as well be a shoe-in too, but I can't really say that since I even doubt Old Joseph is going to be playable despite basically every other human member of the Part 3 group is in the game so far.
There was some new bit that her actress did some recording for the game but it was followed up with "there will be a lot of announcer voices".

So what do you guys think of 39 episodes for Stardust Crusaders? That would allow them to cover 4 chapters per episode.
Yeah, I estimated 36 but 39-40 eps would be ideal.

Abbachio makes even less sense, how are you going to fight with Moody Blues.
Programming attack patterns into it ala the Capcom game (but unable to cancel the sequence one it's initiated) and duplicating physical attacks from other characters (especially ones that don't make it into the game).

Err, yeah, I meant Star Platinum is the world's most boring stand, what with its power being punching really fast, a power that's already shared by many Stands even in Part 3. Hell, being the fastest melee stand was already kinda Silver Chariot's thing. It's just kinda jarring to read through progressively crazier stands and then look back to Star Platinum.
As Red Bones put it: In the end, it's not the Stand's powers, it's how creatively you can use it. I'd personally love to have it or Heaven's Door as a Stand.

The JoJo wiki says "Measures the Stand's possible functions and utilization of its abilities and powers."


So I guess it's like how much of a Stand's potential has been utilized.
You can see it when you compare Star Platinum's stats to Star Platinum: The World. The latter has a lower development potential stat since Jotaro's making more use of its abilities and has little potential remaining to be explored.

Ah! Good point, I'd completely forgotten about that.

In that case, a more pressing question is raised. That's three sets of revealed characters, at least. We got Caesar too right? So the most important thing is, when is the next PV?! I can't wait to see even a second or two of these guys in action.
Caesar and ACDC were also revealed even before those others. Brief footage of them both was added to those Jotaro/D'Arby The Gamer commercials.

I could see KC working as teleports and counters. In the PS2 game he just slowed down time when you did an attack so the attack went on for a while while he could counter you in leisure.
What if KC hitting the opponent makes them operate under lag conditions?

Edit2: Other Stands that pop up in the trailer as artwork include Kraftwerk, Harvest, Moody Blues, Highway Star and possibily Hermit Purple. This doesn't confirm them as characters though. This, however, is a stage hazard:

This trailer just makes me want to get this game all the more. It looks like there are alternate skins for the characters, so hopefully they'll give Jotaro his part four outfit and Kira as Kawajiri. Maybe even some of the splash art made into in game outfits. :allears:


This could mean the DLC Kira has the option of being changed into Kawajiri at least.

Not just Street Fighter, Benimaru from the SNK series was based on Polnareff. I'm fine with the homages though, as trucutru said it just means they're JoJo fans and that's awesome.

I'd have accepted some of the weirder ones as stage hazards or situational finishes. 'course we'd need more stages and have more than one allocated hazard to each one...
