Amazing section on petshop. It’s common for people to spread incorrect info on what makes petshop banned so I’m glad you did him justice.

[@MrMixtape]

Thank you!

[@PetshopFromFortnite]

@@MrMixtapeno no thank you! I have been maining petshop for close to a year now and it drives me insane to hear what people say about him without actually doing their research, Both in fightcade lobbies and KZbin videos. So it’s rare for people to actually read the supercombo page.

[@MrMixtape]

@@PetshopFromFortnite well I'm glad I can help clarify that. I've also encountered a fair share of misinformation from people who don't know much about the character beyond the fact that he's banned from tournaments lol

[@GarethXL]

bruh i'm not sure what you're talking about, he literally listed everything everyone say thats a problem with petshop 1) icicle 2) flies on a small hurt box 3) gain meter easily to spam super

[@PetshopFromFortnite]

@@GarethXL your fucking stupid. Just saying icicles is a problem when the root of his problems come from his hitgrab Enders and screen control not just unblockables. For his hitbox and ability to fly is fucking stupid because believe it or not most lows DONT wiff on petshop and flying just flat sucks most of the time because you can’t block and you get tech chased. And finally for the “spam super” you clearly don’t play this game.

[@ppthebiggest]

forgot to mention that shadow dio has most of his tools working on petshop(including his entire loop string that can give you up to 70% on average hp characters) so hes one of the few characters that have 5:5 or even favorable matchup with the bird

[@LuwiigiMaster]

Vanilla Ice is interesting - he is technically a 'weapon Stand user' like Chaka, Alessi, and Joseph, but unlike them, he has a tandem instead of a custom combo.

[@elgordobondiola]

How would he be a weapon stand? He gets the airdash, chip immunity, knockdown immunity and the tandem.

[@ppthebiggest]

@@elgordobondiola chip and knockdown immunities are universal for all active stand characters. him being a "weapon stand" means that his stand is not a separate entity beside him in s.on, unlike, for example, jot.

[@Richtr8]

honestly, this is a pretty good promotion for the game's scene - it addresses the most scary topic about the game foremostly. after being told about petshop making this game unplayable, i'm gonna flash this onto my CPS3 & give it a shot

[@Glarfugus]

as a renowned hftf expert (person who learned one jotaro bnb and got called the n-word by the first fightcade opponent i landed it on), i think dio's legendary difficulty is worthy of its own study. i legitimately can't comprehend how anyone consistently hits dio combos, and i respect them a lot for it, even when I'm landing a TOD on them because they accidentally threw me. (genuinely tho love the hftf videos good work)

[@jxff2000]

“person who learned one Jotaro bnb and got called the n-word by the first fightcade opponent I landed it on” Yep. Seems about right 😂😂😂

[@awarmmilkandcookies]

"Punishable on hit" is what fighting games players hear in their nightmares

[@Wayte13]

So basically the Stands have their canonical relative power levels lol. Also unironically impressed they managed to make a move that gets punished on hit. I had to rewatch that bit on Dio's throw twice cause I thought I misunderstood

[@stealthy9156]

The move is punishable because they made it so you can air tech out of it way too early, if you don't tech I'm pretty sure it's a hard knockdown like every throw. To make sure you could react and tech it even at the age of 60 they were generous enough to turn the entire game gray when dio grabs you

[@Lunar_Atronach]

my fav "punish on hit" move is mina from samsho 5 who has a move which is not only punish on hit but also MORE MINUS ON HIT THEN BLOCK? before you think "oh, maybe its for blockstrings or something" NO 1: blockstrings arent really real in samsho 2: she's a zoner and this is a close move. agony

[@kenspeedway1572]

Really good video; you did a great job on summarizing what made this characters so dominant among others. It's hard to think that even the low tiers can pull some crazy stuff too!

[@MrMixtape]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@tatzeta]

shooting star sounds like they gave pol ST claw as a puppet 💀

[@NeutralDrow]

So what I'm getting is...if N'Doul hadn't blindsided (double ha) Kakyoin when they got to Egypt, he'd have wiped the goddamn _floor_ with DIO.

[@thebaseandtriflingcreature174]

Heritage is an interesting example of a game finding a second shot at life. I hope one day, maybe years from now, we see Capcom make another JoJo game. It's a shame GioGio's Bizarre Adventure was the last one they ever did.

Amazing video, I've been playing the game for 3 years and your HFTF videos are some of the best I've seen, would love to see a video about the low tiers of this game

[@HFTFBiLL]

The Only reason Avdol isn't Top 1 in the game is because his Ankh Ghosting Glitch is Hard banned across casual play, If used he becomes unbearable and makes the game actually unplayable.

[@rycegabrielmajor9847]

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

I'm not the biggest Fighting Game guy, but I can appreciate the art of design that goes into them, and I find it hilarious how HFTF straddles that line between being a good Fighting Game and being a faithful adaptation of the source material. Vanilla Ice being one of the scariest dudes ever is extremely fitting, as are most of the other top-tier characters in terms of how/why they earn their spots.

[@ginger_ale_man7]

as a faust player this vanilla ice character lookin kinda tempting ahaha (with rizz)

[@mee091000]

Really glad I randomly ran across this channel. Always wanted more experienced insight into how this game works.

[@nodthenbow]

Should have mentioned Dio's timestop glitch combo. It's not super important in the meta, but I've seen it banned from enough tournaments that it is worth mentioning.

[@DoctorBones1]

its been a while since this video released but i enjoyed this thoroughly and learned a lot more about the game, great video

[@xelementalsupreme9308]

[@Qobp]

He would pick Kak, and spam projectiles while running away Man plays every character the same way

[@DaKingKayden]

This is the best comment

[@lpfan4491]

I mean, the game is quite literally unfinished and never got entirely done even after like 4 diffrent iterations, so one would expect some jank. Though I guess having utterly bizarre combat siturations is kinda the whole point of Jojos to begin with, so it fits.

[@TempestDacine]

Great vid...but now I wanna reread part 3

[@TheBlackknight720]

Excellent video, you should make one for the bottom tiers too 😂

[@Gixel_]

The fact HFTF has 3 moves which are all "hold a button and release for a zero frame endlag projectile" and they are the 1st 2nd and 3rd best move in the game and the 1st 2nd and 4th best in the game says enough about the game

[@StarfieldDisarray]

This video unfortunately reminded me of why I could never get into HftF, the flashing can be quite excessive.

[@fuzzace6044]

[@Cosplaybuddygiraffes]

The three top tier gods of the Jojo fighting game: High school boy with spiderweb ability, literally just a falcon with icicles, and goon of the main villain with an absurdly broken ability. All of these characters die canonically Notably NOT within the pantheon of the strongest characters: The actual main villain who is a time stopping vampire with monstrous strength This game is so funny I love it

[@nader886]

i'm still gonna play shadow dio for the simple fact that I just like the character, but I'm gonna also start playing Jotaro now also after watching this. you made him sound really fun. this was a great video

[@HolTrain]

I’m of the same idea of wanting a proper Hol Horse video. It’s where the first half of my name that I’ve used for everything ever has come from after all.

Pretty sure it was Stroheim that inspired guile's hair, polnareff inspired paul phoenix's hair in tekken

[@MrMixtape]

Both Stroheim and Polnareff inspired Guile's hair.

[@ivanviera1582]

Originally Guile's hair was meant to be more of a solid copy of Pol's, but a designer at Capcom split it in half for a laugh and the rest of the team ended up liking how it looked (on top of referencing another Jojo character) so they kept it as it is now.

[@tunnelcrawlerwaluigi2690]

I can’t believe you didn’t mention probably one of the most iconic Dio combos in existence where he used practically nothing but supers and the audio turns into a fucking machine gun

[@leonardo9259]

Wtf watch asmr like a normal person

[@theraymunator]

20:05 Ironically, at lower levels, Jotaro's timestop is actually better than the Dios' because it's faster and it's easier to land damage. But it's still not a very good move since you can just counter it or jump it.

[@dabiggestratintown]

Phenomenal video

[@MrMixtape]

Thank you!

[@harryf9885]

Lol you are right it is way easier to list the ways Kak isn’t busted (ie ways he is worse than some other character in the game). -slowest wakeup timing -No unblockables -No IPS immune infinite -No meterless TOD -No fullscreen overhead or Low projectiles. - People will make fun of you if you lose.

[@chloedoesstuff3753]

i have heard a bit about this game a couple of years ago and the videos i watched made it out to be like hol horse was the best character and now im watching this and seeing he is b tier and my worldview is shattered

[@elkofdeath]

@MrMixtape Decades ago I'd found a weird move with Oingo on the DC version that I never replicated with hours of trying every input from every fighting game and never cross confirmed it with anyone, nor seen it mentioned in a video. It looked like one of Kak's floating nets, but it was made out of pipes and had Oingo's stupid looking face in the middle. It'd be a relief of useless information in my brain if someone could cross confirm its input or if it's still a hidden piece of knowledge.

[@MrMixtape]

Assuming you're referring to Hol Horse and Boingo (Hoingo), he has a move where he fires bullets into a pipe and the pipes appear on screen. If that's not what you're referring to, then I'm not quite sure unless it's something that happens in the console-exclusive Super Story Mode.

[@elkofdeath]

Wow, so it isn't so well known. This was totally different than shooting into the pipes and more like a net. It wasn't super story mode as I believe that was only PS1 at the time, it was on a US release copy of heritage. If it's really that obscure, maybe someone can find the small pipe net with Oingo's face animation and command in a data rip. I'd do it myself if I knew how. It'd be nice to see a bottom tier character have one more move.

[@MrMixtape]

Hmm that's interesting. I don't believe I've heard of this move, and I've played the PS1 version of HFTF before. Perhaps I'll look into this sometime in the future.

[@elkofdeath]

It definitely triggered on the Dreamcast US release and not any other.

[@samcraig8533]

@@elkofdeathif you achieved it by spamming direction inputs while shooting bullets, it’s a bug. For some reason spamming up and down causes the hit box from his bullet to get stuck, and it causes the boingo sprite to show up. Most tournaments ban it due to being an exploit, alongside a similar thing Avdol can do with Ankhs to achieve infinite damage.
