More than a month before the release of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R and on the side of Bandai Namco Entertainment and CyberConnect2, we are launching an operation of seduction around this rather atypical fighting game in its style. With the help of Rohan Kishibe and Koichi Hirose, two of the main characters of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, we learn what the gameplay mechanics are, which has been changed since the PS3 episode released almost 10 years ago. and what improvements have been made. First thing: several skill sets will be made available to players who can choose the ones they prefer to use in combat. For example, and beware this is a bit technical, characters using the Ripple ability featured in the first two chapters of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure will face characters using Stands (the popular skills introduced in Stardust Crusaders). Players will also be able to have an Assist to help them and which materializes as a specter that wedges behind the player's shoulder, or to use the Stylish Dodge to avoid attacks with elegance. If this sounds complex, know that CyberConnect2 has decided to introduce a system that greatly facilitates combos in the game, with more accessible configurations. We can spam a single joystick button to make the most beautiful sequences of shots.
