JoJo eschews that and goes for the more SNK inspired High/Medium/Low Attack as well as “Dodge” which many Sega fans will remember from Virtua Fighter. Most players these days (at least the more casual fighting fan at least) are more accustomed to the High/Medium/Low combination of punches and kicks. There are some subtle differences in the control scheme some may need to adjust to.

Which makes sense given Capcom published (and most likely oversaw) the original game on Dreamcast. Having played a lot of fighting games over the last 30 years, JoJo’s Bizarre adventure felt fairly familiar as most of the standards Capcom introduced to us throughout the many versions of Street Fighter and Marvel vs Capcom, were all in place here. I feel like this has meant we got a super solid port of the game and my brief research of the PlayStation 3 titles shows that it’s been translated beautifully from the original.īut as someone who had never watched the anime, I did my best to briefly catch up on the franchises history both in anime and video games and it really does seem like Cyber Connect 2 have managed to not only faithfully refresh their fighting game series, but also captured JoJo’s extravagant style and really brought the manga to life as a fighting game. It’s also quite interesting to see that Cyber Connect 2 developed both the Dreamcast original, the PlayStation 3 sequel and the current Remaster. It’s somewhat less chaotic to actually play, but the on-screen action can appear even crazier with the anime inspired visual splendour on display. As the original did on Dreamcast, JoJo takes a lot of inspiration from Marvel vs Capcom and it’s immediately apparent when you play it. It’s interesting to think that this came out only 2 months before Killer Instinct in 2013 and two years after Marvel vs Capcom 3 and I have to wonder how this game would have done had it been attached to a less niche property.
