Story AND Campaign?
I'm gonna guess Story has cutscenes and the same fight lineups for each character every time, while Campaign is like a random arcade mode.

Just saw it on this dude's tumblr: http://hurricanecrew.tumblr.com/ I assume it's unaltered.
Also some details on how some of King Crimson's powers work
-He's invulnerable during his forwards/backwards quick-step
-He can spend heart heat gauge to nullify an attack
-He can go into "Time erasure mode" where the opponent just does the same attack over and over and Diavolo is invincible. It ends after a certain amount of time or when an attack button is pressed.
-For his heart heat attack, he uses his ability to see the future to automatically dodge every attack without draining his guard gauge.

If King Crimson is intended to be a ridiculously overpowered boss character then I have no problem with all of that. As per fighting game custom, he could be unplayable or have a weakened version for players or he could be playable in all of his glory and just be nearly unbeatable and force players to agree not to use him unless they're both playing him or someone equally strong. Or maybe he ends up being reasonable, who knows? But I'm glad he's true to the comic.

It's from the Part 5 guys Famitsu article. so it's real. The translation from the Dustloop forums is up too.

Bruno Buccellati (CV: Noriaki Sugiyama)

Battle style: Stand (Sticky Fingers)

A character featured in part 5. Though initially an enemy of Giorno’s, he has taken a liking of Giorno’s “Dream” and invited him in his team. Buccellati himself is a calm, level-headed leader of the team who earned everyone’s trust. His Stand, Sticky Fingers, has the ability to create a zipper on any object it hits to take it apart.

Command move: Closing zipper!
Buccellati can move quickly while his Stand is off thanks to this move. By holding onto the zipper on the ground, he is able to quickly zip back and forth around the battlefield. Moreover, thanks to being low to the ground, he can dodge projectiles and other attacks. While moving this way, you can perform “Looks like I’ll have to dispose of him!”.

Command move: Looks like I’ll have to dispose of him!

Command move: Over there!
A punch with great range from the zipper!

Command move: Ariariariari
Buccellati’s Stand unleashes a flurry of punches!

Command move: Opening zipper!
Buccellati attacks the enemy with a zipper in the ground.

Command move: Bloody bastard
By unzipping his own arm and that of his Stand’s, Buccellati can attack the enemy from far away.

Command move: I already realized that, too!
Buccellati and his Stand punch the ground simultaneously. The hand emerges from the zipper far away, hitting the enemy from an unexpected angle!

Command move: This isn’t my “Arm”

Normal throw: This has already become a “Torture session”.

Taunt

Heart Heat Attack: Are you ready? I will do it.
Buccellati grabs the enemy and falls into the space below the zipper along with them. Both players then erupt out of another hole and hit the ground. This move deals a lot of damage, though it deals some damage to Buccellati, too.

Great Heat Attack: Arrivederci
After being launched into the air with the Stand, the enemy falls underground through the zipper. The Stand quickly erupts from underground and unleashes a brutal “Ariari” combo! Finally, they are blown away with the last hit, as Buccellati says “Arrivederci” (goodbye).


Narancia Ghirga (CV: Yuuko Sanpei)

Battle style: Stand (Aerosmith)

A character featured in part 5. One of Buccellati’s subordinates. Though he may seem innocent and unreliable, he has great spiritual power when it comes to protecting his friends, allowing him to face any danger head-on. His Stand, Aerosmith, takes shape of a plane that can attack with bombs and machineguns. It also has the power of detecting carbon dioxide, allowing Narancia to attack targets he can’t even see.

Command move: Can’t run away!
The Stand is summoned after a punch, firing machineguns.

Command move: I’ll make you talk!
Narancia raises his left hand upwards, letting his Stand fly and fire machineguns diagonally upwards.

Command move: If I can’t shoot, then I won’t
The Stand charges the opponent, cutting them with the propeller.

Command move: Take flight!
While in Stand mode, Aerosmith flies around the screen. You can follow it up with “Go, over there!” and “It’s worth shooting the hell out of you!”.

Command move: A beehive!
Aerosmith continuously shoots bullets with his machineguns.

Command move: Disappear!
Aerosmith drops a bomb, damaging the enemy with the explosion.

Command move: Go, over there!
You can change Aerosmith’s flight route with the direction buttons.

Command move: It’s worth shooting the hell out of you!
After traveling the determined route, Aerosmith unloads his machineguns on the enemy!

Throw: How about this! And this!

Taunt

Heart Heat Attack: Get them with the bigger one!
Aerosmith continuously bombs the opponent.

Great Heat Attack: Volare Via!
The Stand unleashes its guns, while Narancia is saying “Volavola…” – of course, ending it with “Volare Via” (have a nice flight).

Diavolo (CV: Morikawa Toshiyuki)

Battle style: Stand (King Crimson)
A character featured in part 5. Boss of the gangster organization “Passione”. So no one knows his identity, he usually acts under the guise of a young boy named Vinegar Doppio. His Stand, King Crimson, can see into the future as well as erase time.

Vinegar Doppio (CV: Ishida Akira)
Diavolo’s second identity. A young boy who is deeply loyal to “Boss”. Boss himself takes over the body whenever he wants, but Doppio is not aware that Boss is inside of him.

Command move: It’s over!
A powerful overhead punch with the Stand! When the enemy is hit, they are forced into the knockdown state.

Command move: Time goes on again!
A powerful body blow from King Crimson! By holding down the button, this attack can be made unblockable.

Special move: Your life is in my hands!!

Command move: “King Crimson”!

Step movement: I’ll only skip half a second!
Before Diavolo’s forward step and backstep, he leaves crimson traces of teleportation. The enemy’s attack will never hit him while in this state.

Counter-move: What a meaningless act
A special counter-move that activates right before getting hit by the opponent. Though it costs Heart Heat Gauge, you enter the “Time erasure” mode, able to rewind the enemy’s attack as if it never hit you.

Command move: The time has been erased…!!
While in the “Time erasure” mode, the enemy repeats his attack over and over again, while Diavolo is completely invincible and can do whatever he pleases, moving out of the attack’s trajectory. After a certain amount of time or when you press an attack button, the “Time erasure” mode ends.

Throw: I won’t let you go!

Taunt

Heart Heat Attack: Epitaph
The ability that lets Diavolo see into the future with 100% precision. While in this mode, Diavolo dodges most of the enemy’s attacks automatically with Stylish Action. However, it does not drain his Guard Gauge.

Great Heat Attack: Pinnacle of Eternity
After activating the Great Heat Attack, the enemy’s attack is parried, as Diavolo activates the “Time erasure” mode, approaches the defenseless enemy from behind, and delivers a brutal blow from King Crimson.

System info
"Rumbling" Mode: When HP is low, this is activated automatically, attack power increases and gauges fill up faster.

Preparedness Mode: Attacks no longer make you wince/flinch. Only 4 characters so far can activate "Preparedness Mode": Giorno, Bruno, Mista, and Hermes.

Preparedness mode sounds like it could be a real pain in the rear end. It's just hyper armor, but the way it's described sounds like "gently caress it, I just have Hyper Armor all the time."

I really don't see what they'd have to show given they just released their newest Naruto game 3 months ago. They literally have nothing to show that isn't JJBA at this point unless they have some sleeper project absolutely nobody picked up on.

It's supposed to be unconventional, but I really hope they don't go visual novel stlye. I don't expect them to do everything in a cutscene, but anything that isn't visual novel style would be fine.

Araki's recent interpretation of Fist of the North Star.

Somehow he lapped himself in fabulousness and made Kenshiro more manly. How is that possible.* :psyduck:


*Probably because he looks more like a punk rocker in this outfit than anything.

It's subjective - to me he's more manly in that I can picture him kicking rear end and not giving no fucks wearing that.

I should warn you that this is probably because I've spent the last 7 weeks of my life in Hollywood. I keep seeing people who look like they stepped out of an Araki comic.

Pretty much. Like I said, you'd have to be a badass to go walking through a post apocalyptic wasteland dressed like that.

When you consider the original Kenshiro is just an outfit carbon copy of Mad Max who turns into a Bruce Lee clone whenever his regenerating shirt is ripped off, this is something of a weird improvement. At least it's more unique now. His trademark Jojo hand-posing also looks more like he fights ready to push pressure points than straight up punching.

So

What the hell is going on in that last page? Is it just some creepy groping or is her body all mixed up or something???

Since the story was a "just a legend" I'm guessing that the corpse is still in Morioh somewhere. I hope we get a big flashback of Johnny fighting the G-Men, I don't think Araki would give them real designs if we wouldn't be seeing them again.

I have a friend who is swearing up and down that Gappy is the combination of Kira and Jotaro, who were brothers. I have a theory that Jojolion is going to end with Gappy splitting back into Kira and Jotaro and part 9 following alt-Jotaro, or something like that.

I can't tell what's going on in the pages right before Johnny gets crushed by the rock. It looks to me like he uses Tusk Act 4 to shoot his son, then he goes flying back from the shot and the disease passes on to him. Then I can't tell what happens between then and the rock crushing his head.

Since the narration specifically said that the holy corpse can "take things away", I'm guessing that Jousuke is a combination of Kira's corpse (killed by whoever that was Jousuke saw at the end of the apartment fight) and the holy corpse.

Johnny shoots his son to activate the corpse - I guess he couldn't activate it by praying again, though I'm not sure why. Also not sure where the rock is from - maybe the US agents were trying to kill George?

He put George on the case to give him the corpse power and then shot him to trigger it. The corpse reflected George's misfortune (the disease and being shot) back to Johnny. Then the leaves move a boulder on his head. I don't know if he did that himself to make his death look like an accident or what, though.

Josuke's power does seem to be a combination of alt-Killer Queen and the corpse, but the Americans took the corpse back after Johnny died, so if Josuke really is half-Jesus someone must've stolen it again.

Gappy is just a nickname fans call Josuke to help differentiate the two Josukes. It's also because there's a gap between his teeth, hence the "gap" in Gappy.
