Weekly Screenshot: Let’s Dance

Whoever comes up with the best title gets to nominate two MatchVid of the Day candidates. As always, the rules are one entry per person and i’ll choose my favorite on Tuesday.

JV Polnareff’s Armor Takeoff super whiffs as Chaca’s Bloody Flower super passes through him. Surprisingly few super moves have shadows in Jojo’s Venture. There’s certainly no shortage of weird poses and awkward-looking attacks though.

Here are some alternate variants i captured before settling on the final version above:

    Everyone in JJBA looks like David Bowie anyways :D

      The moment I saw this picture David Bowie started playing in my head.

      I’m actually kind of miffed you got to suggest this first.

    Rare footage of Daigo actually confused

    Yep. Armor Takeoff happens in the manga ’cause when they first encounter Polnar…Yeah, I’ll just stop there. Don’t forget to play with some of the hilarious smear frames during hitstun, or the Tanden-programmed moves (QCB+S on characters with a stand meter) that looks slightly different (and many characters get shadows). I do like this one a lot though. Wish the arcs of the swords could be connected, and I have no idea why Chaka’s sword is ever colored like that; they make it look like the sheath is still on.

    Evolution of Man

    Samurai Movie Climax and Evolution of Man were both awesome, but the David Bowie connection was too accurate to pass up. It works on so many levels!

    Fireball: Congratulations, you get to choose two match videos to be featured on ComboVid during the next week or so. The only restriction is that they must be uploaded to the proper channels – either belonging to the event organizers or to one of the players. (I don’t want to support people who try to get attention by ripping stream matches or stealing from other websites.)

      Hooray!

      One of my favorite matches online is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci59o6sxLhw

      It’s the hilarious S-Groove Dr. B vs Daigo match from like 7 years back. This is the only video of it I could find though so it might not qualify. In either case I’ll come up with some others and post them here when I’m off work!

    just noticed the white blood in that last screenshot – are you only planning on using the USA version of JJBA?

    • Maj says:

      Hadn’t really thought about it. Why? Does it matter? I looked for a blood setting in the config menu but couldn’t find it and didn’t think it was important enough to change versions.

      Anyway i’ve done two JV screenshots already so i’ll probably close out with two JBA screenshots.

    Fireball: You still have one more matchvid to choose, sir. If you ever see this, don’t worry about how long it’s been.
