khan is definitely my favorite character in jojoban, probably one of my favorite fighting game characters period. he has so little but its just enough to win. he legitimately helped me understand fighting games at a much deeper level. i was never too interested in learning long combos or complicated set ups, so i thought a game like jojoban was out of my reach. but khan helped me realize that i dont need any of that stuff. i just need to guess right 80 times in a row. to be able to shut out all the mechanics of the game that i thought were over complicated and just be able to play the game. i'm always someone who plays against people stronger than me a lot, and khan fits that archetype of the underdog so well. if you underestimate him, he can kill you very fast. but you are forced to play a completely different, extremely stripped down other game, and it's very interesting to me

[@megamansoupreme7122]

Ngl, I feel like you kinda slept on how good Khan's spin really is (Specifically air spin, ground spin kinda sucks) It's a brilliant mobility option and you either have the neutral jump version that you can move back and forth, or the moving jump version that you can use to either send yourself to the other side with ease or practically hover in a vaguely forward/backward direction, neutering your normal jump arc regardless. Also, you can change which one you're doing at will, hold back to E-Brake and hold forward to fuckin send it (Note that Forward and Back are relative to which way you're jumping) Most importantly, you can cancel any of your aerials into it, including j.C, which means either free damage on air hit or momentum based tomfoolery that can easily be your escape plan on an instant overhead (Or at least an attempted one) Genuinely a good move, one of Khan's only Ws when it comes to his moves

As someone black (ethnicity-wise) I can say that localization of Black Polnareff is NOT race-related. Black refers to the tainting of the soul (blackening of the soul) in relation to yin and yang, where white (the color, not ethnicity-wise) and black (the color) symbolize good and evil. It's common to make kuro (black in Japanese, romanized, as in the color...) variants of characters. While Evil Ryu is the name of that form of Ryu, it's not uncommon to hear someone call him Kuro Ryu in Japanese. Also... Tan ≠ Black. What am I waffling about anyways...

Merely saying this is a good video is never enough, it's Xlnt! Also about Khan, he felt like a SF3 character in HFTF, reminds me of Alex and Q way too much. Bad normals, good jumping button, questionable frame data, and barely working specials. But his simplicity also makes him sounds easy to balance, too bad the game's released 2 decades ago. As for Chaka, he really is an underappreciated character imo. His animations are really fabulous, and gameplay wise, he's a high tier but felt like the most balanced character in the game, although that CC damage is just dreadful, literally deals 1 damage per hit. But overall he felt really complete and satisfying to play.

[@qinlongfei]

Pretty late to this video, and I'm working off my Chinese knowledge rather than Japanese. But my guess on why possessed Polnareff is called Black Polnareff could be due to the trope known as '黑化' (literal translation being 'turned/changed to black') in Chinese. Basically, an original good character who turned evil. I'm not sure if it's a Chinese translation of a Japanese word, or a Chinese trope that happens to have connection with Japanese trope. But using the color of black as a narrative shorthand for someone who become evil or possessed by demon is a common enough trope.

[@viewtifulnick9592]

I love your vids man, keep up the good shit 🧡

[@mrtable2861]

One potential reason for making Khan his own character could be that, since he and Chaka together are a reference to the singer "Chaka Khan", the dev team might've felt weird including one but not the other. Plus, both of them have basically the same amount of plot relevance in the manga, as just 2 regular guys puppeted by Anubis who get defeated after 1 chapter. They're kind of interchangeable with each other as wielders of Anubis and neither is really given more plot significance than the other. Granted, having 2 different wielders of Anubis (on top of Possessed Pol) does still feel weird, especially since one has a completely unique moveset, but I kind of understand the reasoning I guess.

[@maddylchannel]

Khan is more significant than Chaka in the manga/anime. Chaka fights Polnareff and gets defeated quickly and easily. His entire point as a character is to be defeated to demonstrate how weak he is in order to set up the later fights. Then, Khan is a much more dangerous opponent because Anubis had memorized Polnareff's moves by then. In fact, if it wasn't for Jotaro (who's moves were not yet memorized) saving him, Polnareff easily could have been killed by Khan. Then, of course, Anubis possesses Polnareff and is yet more powerful on top of having access to Silver Chariot, and he is the actual threat of the arc. If Khan is a bit character, then Chaka is barely a footnote, and the strange decision to spotlight him in JoJo's Venture and by extension Heritage for the Future is the only thing that stopped Chaka from being forgotten entirely.

Alright, I hate to do this, but you're kinda wrong about Chaka's stand off mode. In fact Chaka is far BETTER in stand off than in stand on because he requires everything of stand off to make stand on work in the first place. He might have more tools and better combos in stand on, but they're mostly combo oriented. Stand off Chaka is the neutral that you play to get to stand on damage. j.C and j.B are basically the Blues Brothers with how they just work in neutral and don't ever stop working. One of the best air to airs in the game if not the best, and a jump in that hits deeper than it should allowing for a confirm into literally whatever he would want. 5A is better than s.5A due to how much of a lower commitment it is, and how by sheer size alone bullies out common pokes and empty hops. 2B is one of the few slides in the game, and I'm pretty sure it's the only GOOD one, and kara cancelling into 236S is just the freest anti-approach tool Chaka has. You wanna jump in neutral? You wanna dashing poke? You wanna start advancing forward a bit? Sorry, I just did this, get back to out of range. 2C is a good antiair and combos better than s5b antiair, but I won't die on the hill that it's better so it's a give or take. 236S as I already stated is the juicer of a move as it is. Techroll cancelling into this button just denies any sort of followup pressure your opponent is foolish enough to commit to, and the move itself defines where Chaka is supposed to be on the screen. 5B/66B is a great low and whiff punishing tool that you use for your custom combo and UB reset confirms, and you don't get the same kind of lows in stand on. But everything pales in comparison for how poorly everyone treats 2A, quite literally a top 5, quite possibly top 3 move in his kit. Works at close range, works at oki, works at mixups, works even in UB resets, this move is active and non-commital in the slightest. 1 frame recovery if walk cancelled, and that just means not holding down during recovery. Now, stand on is certainly where he gets his damage, but you have to play through stand off to get in to play in stand on. Your jump in of choice is s.j.C, but you gotta start from stand off to hyper hop to make it effective from anywhere further than 1 character length away. s.5B launcher makes Chaka viable in more ways than one, but the optimal ways to find your way into a safe position into this move is through stand off mobility or stand off plinks (2A meaty, use plus frames to S+5A). But the funny thing is that you need to be in stand off in order to now capitalize off Chaka's best advantage state after untechable launch. You need to do quick stand off in order to abuse mobility to unlock the 4 way oki that he does in fact get off the 5 hit launch oki. Other than those 2 buttons, one of which is already a combo tool, the only other buttons you should be pressing in stand on in neutral, which is what Chaka does best, is d.s.5B for antiairs and d.s.2C as a block check. But they're not counterpressure tools, not stuff you can do when your opponent is in your face, which will be happening against a lot of characters in this game. Guard cancel is the perfect example of this, where Chaka gets nothing off his stand on GC other than telling his opponent to back off, stand off GC sends them to hell with a full combo punish that can lead to stand crash combos and UB resets. So in short, his stand off mode is better because instead of just allowing him to play the game, it allows him to play AGAINST other better characters.

I can't comprehend why Anubis Polnaref is not an active stand character

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

I say this all the time but I miss when they used to do stuff like this clones can be so fun

[@borntopwnyou]

Khan mastered the Spin before Johnny did

[@predeterminedmeat5024]

Khan isn't unfinished, he's a joke character.

[@goldskarr]

Wait, three Kakyoin? I see two... wait is Hol Horse's hand phasing through his fucking gun

[@The_PolterGhost]

I mean, it's a psychic gun, it doesn't have to follow any laws of physics.

[@goldskarr]

@The_PolterGhost is it? Pretty sure I b stopped reading before his part when i was a young lad.

[@Ervonesque]

If you count Rubber Soul as another Kakyoin clone, yeah.

[@Kuzururi]

anubis polnareff is the holy grail for C ranks in fightcade, just do his 1 easy combo and since he gain bar so fast, pull of the super when they approach you

[@Kuzururi]

he would give you some wins against scrubs or newbies but unless you learn his 2 frame loop and his game plan, you wouldn't pass C rank

[@SuperLlama42]

SPEEN

[@Vernafveik]

My theory on Khan is that he was meant to be in the original game, but mid-way through development they decided Chaka would make a better representative for Anubis and binned Khan Not wanting to let what little they’ve done with Khan go to waste, they would re-implement him into the later version.

[@AmbushGuy]

wouldnt black pol be a grappler if he has trouble getting in but does major dmg

[@elgordobondiola]

No command grabs.

[@trulymrword]

Move over JoJo's Bizzare Adventure we have... Khan's Krazy Khronikles: Part 1: Ectoplasmik Pus Part 2: Skuffle Gravitation Part 3: Spindirt Krusaders Part 4: Koal is Dense Part 5: Bronze Fart Part 6: Pebble Pond Part 7: Tin Kube Sprint Part 8: KhaKhaKush Part 9: KhaKhaDepot

[@joak82]

As a Khan player, we like glue

[@naowolf1272]

some moves of khan are based on haohmaru from samurai shodown

[@DrewBearYT]

Man did you say "ekelon" instead of "echelon" or am I deaf?

[@AWearyExile]

Crazy that there's three Anubis characters and no Geb.

[@TheRealBDouble]

I always liked playing Chaka and Khan. I wish Khan wasn't garbage because he's fun to play - ZETTAI NI MAKENAI!!!

[@RONDOIBAD]

what's so fucked up about the oki in this game?

[@docs.a.t.7161]

Take my words with a grain of salt, as I'm no pro. But to my understanding, wakeup in HFTF is extremely vulnerable- you can only block, there's no reversals or wakeup rolls. Some characters have a 30+ frame getup, too. Doesn't help matters that most relevant characters can set up Stand Rushes (think Aegis Reflector but with a seperate character instead of a wall of energy) and roll/jump over the enemy for extremely easy unblockables, and in a game as explosive as HFTF, it's certainly not uncommon for a single knockdown at high hp to mean a round's loss

[@nmzp111]

On getting knocked down there's 1 inactionable frame where you can only block. That makes meaties a very strong oki option, as there's no risk of breaking pressure. Couple that with the fact that the majority of the cast has an entity that can attack separately from them and you get oki that is good with most characters and absolutely disgusting with about a third. These characters get access to safe, easy to set up, unreactable 50/50s, trap you in a vortex or straight up have unblockables. All of these characters can knock you back down and get another oki and/or get half your healthbar off of it.

[@RONDOIBAD]

Thanks so much, it's been awhile since I read about the system mechanics and I don't play many other fighting games@@nmzp111

[@stealthy9156]

​@@docs.a.t.716130 frame get up is average to low iirc. I think characters like the kaks and old Joseph go up to 50

[@elgordobondiola]

​@@nmzp111 fr vanilla ice has a straight up unblockable with his cream special and he's tournament legal. That talks about the whole lot of awful stuff this game has for everyone

[@StarshadowMelody]

_TWO WHOLE HORSES_

[@Coffeemancer]

It is rely dumb they don't add Devo or Car Girl to ASBR

[@stotab8700]

I hope u havent gotten too many comments about this and I hope you don't mind the correction, but echelon is pronounced "ESH-uh-lon", not "ECK-a-lon". When people mispronounce words like that, it means they learned it through reading it. I hope this doesn't come off as rude or annoying

[@hecatomb1864]

The cow is in the anime and manga, when the sword broke and got stuck in the cow. It would have been nice though to see a young Khan, since you ever saw young Khan in the manga or anime.
