Yeah, that move is The Spoiler for Part 3. Speaking of which, can that move be used in story mode, or does the game lock it for authenticity?

Unfortunately, Fighting game terminology is something you can't understand if you haven't learned fighting games by hand. You only understand the terminology and what it means unless you experienced where those terminologies apply. It's like trying to teach your parents how to play Pokemon. But still Kudos for trying.

It can be used yeah, the secret factor for it later is one of the sillier ones in the game. That's about expected tho for when it pops up tho.

Araki just didn't seem to be able to draw men who didn't look like exaggerated bodybuilders for a long time. I heard Kakyoin was actually his attempt at drawing an effeminate dude.

And then there's part 6, where Araki literally changes his mind on a character's gender after they are introduced.

Really? Because I really had a hard time determining the gender for the main gang of Part 5 until Trish joined to show what a woman looks like in that arc.

I think it was the Stardust Crusaders theme from the OST, which generally played in the anime whenever poo poo Went Down.

That being said I used three different themes that all used the same motif up until stand mode happened so it's easy to get confused when you can't hear the finer differences.

I don't know why it's specifically tied to Stand breaking in this game, but I guess because it's an iconic image from the series?

Also how dare this game deprive us of Joseph's pun when removing Pol's flesh bud. I don't know what the pun is in Japanese, but I do know that a pun exists.

There's no thematic reason, it's just Capcom trying to reference every part that was out at the time. Like there's only one other Part 1 reference in the game and it's in Dio's movelist.

More Specifically, the mask is the Stone Mask from Part 1 that turns Humans into Vampires. I'm gonna put in spoilers, although it is pretty common knowledge nowadays.

It's the very same mask that turns Dio into a Vampire, and is the reason why Part 1, and by proxy Part 3, happened

So wait are you required to hit a specific direction or do you just need to hit one of the available directions before the thing hits you? I saw the flashing green direction but i don't know if that was what the game wanted you to hit or it was just you pressing that direction.

Jotaro can't stop thinking about deep dish pizza. It's a character trait that subtly reveals itself over parts 3-8 of JJBA. Sorry for spoilers, but it would be obvious pretty soon.

Half circles I'm familiar with. The game actually shows the input in such a strange way though that it looks like only a half-circle when it's more. I had to go online and look up the input to remember what it actually was because it was so strange.

The main command for Geese Howard's Raging Storm has one of the most bizarre decisions for choice of input ever. Whoever thought that one up had to be on something.
