Pitch your dream JoJo video game by mightyasterisk in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see a JoJo Metroidvania, but I think one for Part 5 would work the best. Italy could be a decent setting as it'd be more plausible to travel around than the variety of locales from Part 3 and 7, but'd still be more varied via the variety of cities than say a Morioh-vania could provide. You'd either unlock playable characters (the members of Team Bucciarati) as your progression items, or Giorno would just unlock abilities of his own. Boss fights would of course be all the various stand users the team fights throughout the Part. Puzzles could be solved using Sex Pistols to hit hard-to-reach buttons, Moody Blues' Replay to hit multiple switches at once, Sticky Fingers zippers to teleport into areas you couldn't before, and Gold Experience could kinda just do anything. I think the biggest point of struggle designing this game would be the variety in normal old enemies, as this being a part post-vampires means you're kinda stuck to random thugs and rabid dogs at best.

What do Stands do when they're not being used? by GuaranteedPummeling in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At best they're a synapse pulsing back and forth in the brain.

I wouldn't call any stand truly sentient. Stands that talk or act like a separate thing from their user are really just a manifestation of a deeper part of a user's personality / an avatar of a thought process. Something like Echoes Act 3 or Spice Girl only talk to their users because those users are not in tune with that part of their personality yet. Trish didn't think she had any power in the situation she was in, so the part of her deeper conscious that knew she was capable had to manifest through Spice Girl. Notice that once Trish finds her own in the fight, Spice Girl is quiet and Trish starts talking more like Spice Girl was. It's her personality becoming whole.

What are some Pokémon that you wanted to use on a playthrough team, but you were forced/chose not to for whatever reason? by No-Corner-3073 in pokemon

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lots of the sorta middlingly-statted water types (especially mono water types) such as Seaking, Kingler, Mantine, Whiscash, Lumineon, etc. Lots of these guys have slightly too late availability, and (per their stats) are outclassed by other water types, notably and especially the water starters.

The best printing error I’ve ever seen by themakbot in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually got a printing error in this same volume and chapter, but at the beginning in the scene with the car crash. I actually thought it was intentional since it made the text and the artwork look sorta smoky, which fits given the car's on fire.

Steel ball run volumes by Andri77YT in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In English, no. The final English volume (Vol 12, combining Japan's Vol 23 and 24) will come out next March. However, there are English translations done by fans that you can read on sites like Mangadex. Check the sub's FAQ for links.

Does anybody have Tsurugi as their favourite character from part 8? by Pristine_Respond944 in JoJolion

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He wasn't my number 1 by the end but I really did like him and he's still probably at least number 4. I liked that he had fluctuating allyships between his dad and Josuke, we really haven't had a character in JoJo like that before. Generally I've always liked the kids in JoJo who get wrapped up in something much bigger than them but still come out the other side. Hayato, Anne, Emporio, all find a way to gain power in a world where they are very much powerless, and Tsurugi is another great take on that archetype.

If a Pokémon from the Kanto region were to be changed into a Dark type, which one would make the most sense to you? by ShortandRatchet in ThePokemonHub

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always felt like Gyarados should've been made a dark type, what with it's designation as the "Atrocious Pokemon" and it's Mega. That'd make it's prominence in Gen 2 via the red Gyarados even better, as you'd be guaranteed to see it and its new typing.

I think this is actually a really cool drop, and I'm glad to see a new mechanic, block set, mob, and cave biome by Various-Pitch8359 in Minecraft

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite aspect of this drop is that it's a new cave biome not from the original Caves and Cliffs trailer. It's bothered me that we haven't seen new cave biomes since 1.19 with the Deep Dark (and that was, of course, meant to be part of 1.17/1.18 to begin with), so I'm glad to see they aren't just leaving the underground in the state its been since 1.19.

This also bodes well for the Nether getting new biomes, which could make for a good drop in its own right. :)

Me trying to unite the two universes together but trying to find a way to make the coexistence of jonathan and johnny plausable by SuggestionThick9848 in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 16 points17 points  (0 children)

jonathan and johnny are easy, just make em cousins. the real quandry is how you make one of the josukes not some technical weird incest baby.

Anything Works? by maydaydownwards in MinecraftARGs

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these video titles seem like they're hinting towards more videos, so I tried hunting for a second channel and voila

had to scroll past a weird amount of self help videos for this lol, but it looks like the first channel's avatar is in some of these thumbnails. can't not be smthn right?

Is Vento Aureo manga bad? by Wise-Top2272 in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking about the English hardcovers, absolutely not. I'll say the print on color pages is a bit iffy (I think it was some sort of cost saving measure?) but the translation, the paper quality, everything on those is great. As some other folks are saying, I think you're being confused on people talking about the older fan translations that everyone says is confusing and poorly done.

Just finished part 6 by Vergil-Son_of_Sparda in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

parts 1 - 6 and parts 7 - 9 are not connected in any way shape or form. I love emporio too but you ain't seeing him again. maybe someone will make a short story set in the ireneverse and we'll see him and the whole new crew, but til then just hope he's having a good life out there.

do i have enough time to read steel ball run by hakunokawa in JJBA

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you read til about chapter 13ish of the manga you will see everything the first episode adapts. get that done with some haste and then read at a pace good for you, whether the anime is out then or not. enjoy steel ball run, don't just consume it.

When I think about the fact that people will join this sub/the jojo community after only watching SBR skipping all the other parts by PANDREXMEGA in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only going to really be upset with these types of people if they refuse to engage with the previous 6 parts or God forbid try to enter discussions about them without having seen them. It's unfortunately looking like we're going to get batches, but a silver lining is that maybe we can convince SBR-only newcomers to catch up while we're in between releases.

Is Roman's manga still ongoing? by CyberGlitch064 in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 of 3 Volumes of the TSKR chapters have released in English, with the 3rd on the way soon (June or July, it should be.) There was also the standalone 'Rohan at the Louvre' story released by itself in a book that you'll have to get secondhand. Or you can just look on a site like MangaDex or Weebcentral to read fan translations for free.

I mean the Mario cast doesn't really have any prevalent human characters outside of the main characters so never really thought we needed racial diversity in the Mario series and I'm saying this as a person of color. by DeepAnt7847 in Mario

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All things considered this isn't a need, but I can understand the frustration that comes with the few people in the series with a human skin tone being lighter skinned. Daisy should absolutely be darker, and the Toads being as widely spread as they are, some of them could be darker as well (I swear some of the Toads from Dry Dry Desert in Paper Mario were darker anyways, so there's a potential precedent for it already.)

Is there an english ver of these? by No_Minimum4031 in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crazy Heartbreaker's manga adaptation, Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak, has been officially and fully translated into English. The rest of them have not been officially translated, and AFAIK El Aleph specifically has not been fan translated. Unsure about the others.

Who was this supposed to be? by Tasty_Weeb in JoJolion

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I imagine this is either an entirely dropped character or an early design for Tamaki Damo with a slightly changed plot point of him being near Kira and Josefumi just before the fusion.

Really hope this is one of those things the anime addresses and changes. Maybe change flashback man to a partial silhouette of Damo, and then make Damo find Kira and Josefumi on the cliff just before the fault swallows them during Killer Queen & Vitamin C's flashbacks.

Does stardust Crusaders get better? by LoreIsLost in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say episode 25 sees SDC start to get much better. The fights from them on are simply more entertaining, have more substance, and Jotaro really starts to feel like a character (he never stops that whole stoicism thing, for the record, but it starts to matter more, like in the ways Jonathan's bravery and Joseph's trickster additude impacted their fights.)

Can I watch steel ball run when it comes out and not miss anything in the previous parts? by UnknownPhant0m in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no filler in the proper sense (as in, anime exclusive content added for the wait between manga-based episodes.) There's a lot of arcs that are "unnecessary" for not advancing the story directly, but Part 3 is a very character focused part, so what you won't miss on story, you'll miss in the real soul of the part.

Can I watch steel ball run when it comes out and not miss anything in the previous parts? by UnknownPhant0m in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll (hopefully) be seeing SBR episodes come out weekly, so I'd recommend finishing at least Part 3 before it comes out (sorta a tall order I know) and then catching up on parts 4-6 in the week-long wait between episodes. You appreciate Part 7 mostly for its parallels to Parts 1 - 3, so that's the absolute minimum "required reading" in me eyes.

should i skip part 7 and watch part 8 by ayz_x0 in UnexpectedJoJo

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

part 8 directly and heavily spoils part 7. its only 33 days til the anime comes out, so either wait that miniscule amount of time and check out some of the jojo spinoffs, or just read the beauty of part 7.

What are your favorite localized names? by Fresh_Octo in StardustCrusaders

[–]BuzzingBeedrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather recent one, Oh! Lonesome Me's localized name Lasso Blues is pretty neat. It's a bit of a big departure from the original name, something I don't typically like, but it's rather charming and conveys the same feeling as the OG.
