I assumed you guys would be interested in knowing what they were saying. It helps me out. I didn’t know what it was JoJolion Josuke was doing during his Grand Heat, but the friction stealing is cool. Okuyasu calling Giorno names makes way more sense than insulting his topknot that he totally has. His classic style “uurrryyy” is also a nice touch.
(Thanks to JoJo Tumblr for being that chain link. You can see the original post here.)
Yeah, that’s the way to do it. Can we agree that we’re coming into ASB with a little “who’d win in a fight” mentality? The moment Mista and Hol Horse were both set to be in the game, I was thinking about who has the better gun stand. But the stand out rivalry is obviously the all out cage match of Cherries vs. Cheese.
The gameplay that we got to see with the main showcase characters, Johnny, Johnathan, Will, and JoJolion Josuke are pretty interesting. I was wrong about what move I thought would be the On Fire Fist, but we knew it would be there. Zoom punch got my attention because it looks like it sticks for a second instead of retracting immediately. If it does, it could be really awesome for anti-air because an opponent could misjudge the time and still jump into it. Will also has it, so I await my match where we sit across the ring just doing that at each other.
Johnny looks like he’s either going to be the character that’s really hard to use because of his very limited movement when not on Slow Dancer but very rewarding if you can handle him or the character that caters to spamming because he’s going to be projectile heavy. That does follow; his power was shooting his fingernails, but I don’t want that to mean he’ll be the back-up-and-shoot-you character.
JoJolion Josuke I think is going to be the trap/counter character with that all based around the soap bubble. I’ve got to give CC2 some credit for what they used for his moves because you see him using a bunch of soap bubbles as a barrier around his body like the shaving scene. He also does that at a distance, but I’m mostly interested in when the screen goes black. That specific bubble will steal the players’ “eyes” by blacking the screen so whoever’s JoJolion Josuke can get a free hit. That’s going to be really hard to use for human player because it blanks the screen, but there may be more to it than what’s in the PV.
Oh, and Kira. He has Sheer Heart Attack, but that’s all they’re telling us. I figured he would also be a counter/trap character because of the way Another One Bites the Dust works and all the bombs, but it’s not in the PV. At this point, I think we can be clear that Kira is DLC only. The way he’s rolled in with the Hayato Memo Book and the specific mention of PSN in the text on the still intro page (edit: and that he’s listed as such on the official character page.) You gotta buy him extra. If you don’t want to mess with getting foreign DLC, you might want to import fast.
I had no idea this was going on or I would have posted about it immediately.
The JoJo Royale is a world wide JoJo fan contest being run through their Google Plus based site. Contests Stages and general JoJo news is released there regularly in both Japanese and English. The contest legs are Stages with each stage being a different competition with some amazing prizes from Araki drawings to replica manga items made for the JoJo Exhibit.
Stage 1 was a Question Sheet that you had to fill out and take a picture or scan of for entry. Unfortunately, the English version of the sheet is no longer available, so I can’t tell you what it was. It was a question and then a drawing box. Here’s the Winning Entry linking to a gallery of the entries. The prize was this Araki drawn picture of Rohan.
Stage 2 was a JoJo’s Posing Contest. It was female posers only, but male participants could take pictures of women they knew doing JoJo poses. Here’s the Winning Entry. The prize was this replica Stone Mask.
But more importantly, here’s a posing baby with the gallery of other entries.
Stage 3 was a cooking contest. Cook a JoJo’s themed food and take a picture for entry. Anything JoJo’s was accepted, and man did people get creative. Here’s the Winning Entry. The prize seems to be a few of the signs from the JoJo Exhibit: 1 2 3
But there’s something about this entry’s personality that I just love.
Stage 4 is maybe the coolest Stage so far. They recreated the Daniel Darby Cat Guessing Game with a real cat.
And if you resisted the urge to just post GOOD and posted the correct answer that was revealed in this video:
You won. I have no idea how they distinguished the absolute winning entry, especially since the prize seems to be a replica LUCK&PLUCK sword, but the video recreating that cat was a really cool addition.
Finally, we catch up to the contest at Stage 5. You have to write your wishes for the future of JoJo’s on an Ena, take a picture, and send it in. If you can’t find Ena where you live, it’s also fine to just write on a board. Once again, there are no language barriers, and the contest prize is a replica of the Bow and Arrow.
So that’s the ongoing contest. More Stages will be revealed as we move through, and there’s no barrier to entry other than being a part of Google Plus so you can post your entries for the Stage on the JoJo Royale Google Plus site. Not a big fence, and these are some cool prizes. I encourage everyone who can to enter, and give this contest the best JoJo’s fans across the world can give! Here’s the page where you can post your entries for Stage 5. Good luck!

I need to move my arm before the Ripple reaches my microphone!
Phantom Blood goes out strong. Sitting back and reflecting on it gives us real appreciation for the amazing production staff did throughout the show. Also, wearing Zeppeli’s hat does not make Speedwagon Zeppeli, and Funny Valentine needs to stop marrying himself. That’s just silly.
