【JoJo ASBR 】Makoto Hikawa (YJO) vs Orb (Various) - (01/16/24)

【JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R 】(Steam ver 2.3)
Makoto Hikawa (Young Joseph Joestar) vs Orb (Various) - Casual matches
It's been a long time since the last upload, here's a long set against some of Orb's different characters, expect some minor drops here and there since I'm still getting used to some newly-developed Joseph optimal routes (Some of these being almost impossible on a bad connection), there's also some important tech on display (Hammer resets and some routes with assist body block to make some combos burst-safe)

Yo over 3 hours worth of seeing Makoto and Orb? A W if I've ever seen one

[@miguelcervantes4707]

Wonder of U feels like a terror to fight, just the slightest error results in such nasty damage

[@nuibaba280]

That's the meta of this game in general. Just about every character gives nasty damage with some outright preventing you from playing the game or schmixing you into oblivion.

​@@nuibaba280 Just looking at the footage, the newer characters are all so unpleasant to fight against

[@nuibaba280]

@@ferrousiron7165 lol, a lot of the base roster is just as bad if not worse. Vanilla Ice is cancer for one. Koichi at his peak was insane. Diavolo is cracked, etc etc. Pucci and Rohan would kill the game outright if more were played at a high level.

Sounds like it sticks to canon 😆

[@coolklown777]

Orb actually plays vanilla ice? What the....

[@triznya4447]

You make me want to pick up Joseph

[@Makoto-Hikawa]

Thanks! One of the reasons why I don't really play more than one character is that he's really complex and fun to use, he has tools to adapt to every match up even if he's not amazing at all of them
I'm still working on a guide so be on the look out for that "soon", it's taking longer than I expected, I keep discovering new combos and setups, the only downside is the execution hurdles, during tournament on an average day with Parsec I just won't even be able to even get his basic BnBs because of all the manual delays they require, here though, I was able to display a lot of the combos, setups and reactions that should be possible in an optimal environment, I'm still working on the muscle memory for them since they require some very tight microdashes into DPs into even more microdashes and other non-auto timed hits (Like hitting the charged hammer at max height into the aforementioned microdash DP, I've honestly never seen other Josephs do these routes so I'm confident about pioneering a lot of his final patch optimals, al that's left is to write them down, test them, check for possible opimizationa and inconsistencies against other characters (And we have 60 characters so it's a lot of work)
