Capcom built this fighter on its CPS-3 arcade board in 1998 and later updated it as Heritage for the Future, adapting Stardust Crusaders, the third part of Hirohiko Araki's manga. The Dreamcast port arrived in 1999, carrying over the arcade's sharp hand-drawn sprites and the strange, expressive poses Araki's art is known for.
What separates it from Street Fighter is the Stand button. Most characters can summon or dismiss their Stand, a spirit fighter that changes their move set: with it out, Jotaro's Star Platinum delivers rapid punch barrages, while the Stand itself can be hit to damage its user. Stands can also act independently in some setups, which opens up combo and mix-up options unusual for a Capcom game. The roster ranges from Jotaro, Kakyoin, Polnareff and Avdol to villains like DIO, Vanilla Ice and Hol Horse, plus oddities such as Iggy the dog. Special moves and super finishes recreate scenes from the manga directly.
Tips for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Toggle the Stand to suit the situation; Stand-off mode is often faster and safer, while Stand-on brings stronger combos.
A Stand that gets hit damages its user too, so keep it out of the opponent's reach.
Learn each character's Stand Rush combos for the bulk of your damage.
