As a JoJo fan, I loved the way this trailer was made. If I wasn't a fan, I would've gotten some of the info, and it would have made me look more of the series up.

Awesome, I need to get this (especially if it features a full story mode)

Story mode is pretty barebones. Text screen, Fight, fight, fight, text screen. The fights have some secret missions to them (usually references to actual events from the series, like using certain attacks), which is alright, and you need to do story mode to unlock characters. Don't expect CC2 to have done it like in the Naruto games.

Not sure how I feel about them spoiling a manga series from the 80's, but it's good to see JJBA get some much needed love. Now the long wait for the anime to catch up...

Rest easy, the pre-order is now guaranteed. Now, if we could just get a release date for the new Guilty Gear, I'd be a happy man.

This totally has spoilers for the currently airing anime, so beware.

Thank you! I was about to watch it, but I wont anymore. I'm all caught up with the anime and I don't want manga spoilers.

Looks alright. It's still no Asura's Wrath.

I dunno why you'd compare JJBA to Asura's Wrath.

This kind of made me want to watch the anime.

The anime is on the beginning of part 3 while the manga is ongoing on part 8. Read the manga.

I can't get over just how gigantic Jonathan, Joseph and Jotaro are compared to the rest of them. They're gigantic.

lol, the manga does mention a few times that all three of them are 195 cm (almost 6'5"). Josuke, Jolyne and Giorno didn't get those genetics. Super tall Jolyne and Giorno would just look weird.

This kind of made me want to watch the anime.

Crunchyroll has the first season up subbed, and the second season has new eps every friday.

This is apparently going to be super rare at retail, might just pick it up for that.

Yeah I grabbed a copy off of Amazon, being a crazy game collector. Plus, I enjoyed the original game for its weirdness, so I figured why not. It also sounds like its a fun but not extremely technical fighting game (which is a plus for me - I like the genre, but don't have a ton of time to get super amazing at said games).

nothing wrong with collecting :), and yea that sounds about right for what this game is, asura's wrath and the naruto games were the same way, very stylish, but not extremely technical.

Fanservice in this game is top notch, but I hope for the sequel they get the fighting down better. JoJo deserves a great fighting game.

Josuke best JoJo.

EDIT: Also, the OST for this game is really good.

I downloaded this off of the Hong Kong PSN store when it first came out in Japan. I then continued to buy all the DLC, and have now bought the US version as well.

It's not the most technical fighting game out there, but I still think it's super fun.

Yeah I imported the JP version and have had it since launch. I still play it (in fact I just took it out to play some Dark Souls 2), and it's one of the few PS3 games I've platinum'd. They've done a lot to fix some of the really glaring issues, but it's far from perfect, but for a JoJo fan I think the attention to detail and fun little things to notice is great. Just don't expect Street Fighter 4 or something.

Doing Johnny's GHA against President Valentine is hype as fuck.

The demo was... kind of what I expected. Pretty, but otherwise not particularly interesting. And I say that as someone who's read parts 1-5 of Jojo.
Characters seem to have a pitifully small amount of moves though. At least based on tried and true dragonpunch esque moves and the move list itself.
