How did you play this online with eachother?
This bokksu shit is absolutely tremendous. Surprised more content creators dont go for this sponsor
@@ChimiMyChanga73 ii is the CHINESE CHINESE v
How did u play thisv
This game looks great.
But why is Kakyoin's stand (Heirophant Green) YELLOW in this game?? 😫
Its NOT a banana!!!
The Bokksu looks good too. Do they send to UK?
This game was the first official Jojo product to see a release in the west, so many people just assumed it was a new Capcom fighting game series. When prints of the manga started finding their way over to the west afterwards, some people even assumed they were bootleg comics ripping off Capcom's fighting game. A lot has definitely changed with western perception and consumption of Japanese media in the over two decades since.
Yeah, JoJo's reception changed over the years. I remember when people though all there was to it was Stardust Crusaders. Even now I'm still surprised how that has changed to where some people will say Battle Tendency or Phantom Blood are their favorite parts.
Hell, before this game was released, a comic called Diesel came out, which was straight up a plagiarism of the Geb arc of Stardust Crusaders. Crazy how much has changed.
Not true. Italy, which is part of the west had Jojo mangas and some merchandise imported and localized since 1993.
@@FriedHedgehogBalls lol, there are more Italian citizens and people eligible for Italian citizenship due to their parent's nationality in Argentina than people that aren't, so you're not completely wrong .
@@FriedHedgehogBalls ?
Italy is its own country
This game is an all time classic, I wish bandai would let capcom or arcsys or whatever make another similar 2D fighter for Jojo
Agreed that would be sick
Jojo game rights have been sold to Bandai, which is also the reason the ps3 remaster have been taken down. Fuck licensing and fuck Namco.
Edit: didn't read the namco letting part, sorry lol
@@iskamag all good lmao. Bandai owns DBZ too and they let arcsys make FighterZ which is really my only hope at this point, though I don’t think its gonna happen
Lol i would be fine if this could just get re released but if its a new game we should probably let arc sys do it until capcom cab get there shit back together.
Persona 4 Arena took inspiration from this game. (Arcsys pretty much picked up in the late 90s where capcom left off)
I saw this game at a Costco when I was a kid and begged my mom to buy it for me (it was like $10-15 what a steal). I loved this game so much, it introduced me to the Jojo universe way before it was a thing out here in the US. And the Story mode is insane! So many different types of game design thrown in there like an FPS section, a Poker section, etc. BUT the coolest part is at the end of the Story you fight DIO and if you both do your QCF + P at the same time, both of your stands clash in an epic ORA ORA ORA MUDA MUDA MUDA power struggle with Japanese kanji flying across the screen. It's so epic. I'll forever love this game thank you for showing it some love!
What Costco was it lol dude you’re like my multiverse version because I told my mom at Costco to buy it for me because the cover art spoke to me, and I have said everything you’ve said about the game as well. I found it in a Miami Costco
This game is very expensive now very expensive!💸🤑💸
I can't believe I just watched Kahn win a tournament.
lMOA
khan is unbreakable
Khan is unbeatable
Khanliness is next to godliness
lmfao yes
It's been 7 years since this game was last re-released. Such a shame it's negated to Capcom's vaults because of licensing and at all that. The combos in Heritage have never ceased to amaze me, such a creative system that allows so many combo paths.
The concept of a game full of puppet characters is still really cool, I'd love to see a developer just take that concept and make a modern game like that. The IP lock thing sucks, but nothing is stopping folks from making a game with it in mind!
@@valeoncat13 I mean, most of the characters aren't actually puppet characters. Most of the stands stay with you.
Now that you said, Capcom has a lot of licensing issues eh? MvC2 is also on Licensing hell. :(
what makes the combo system of HFTF so creative? Honest question as a newbie
@@skunthundler Yeah, I guess puppet wasn't a good word choice. I'm sure there's a word for it, it just doesn't come to mind. Like "Dual" characters or something.
When Capcom had a God Like staff to make fighting games, even after the last Jojo games, this is still the best JoJo Fighting Game.
Yes this game was some of the last ones from Capcoms and fighting games 90s golden era. Companies like Arcsystem Works, Frenchbread and Examu picked up where capcom left off in the late 90s early 2000s.
This game and 3s are incredible to this day
This game also has Rolls, which (along with short hops) makes this game the most SNK-esque Capcom game not counting crossovers.
And yeah, the amount of crazy character-specific mechanics is awesome. Shadow DIO has easily the coolest counter-special ever: He pulls out a book and turns his back to the opponent. If he is hit during it, he disappears and reappears behind him, leaving the book to fall and an exclamation mark. You get some advantange but a combo is not guaranteed.
You can counter any physical hit, including supers. Young Joseph has an _unblockable Laser super that does 40~%_ but has a long startup. Everytime I see someone go for it, I go for the counter just to assert dominance.
got him with the hol horse
@@KidDracula666 The ENTIRE horse!?
Finally, THE Jmcrofts has his hands on THE JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future. So sick.
This game is what got me into fighting games I love it so much
Sameeee. I was so uninterested in fighters until Jojo's (even though I still suck ass at them)
Literally same this was my introduction to fighting games
Smash bros got me into fighting games and a bit into emulation and then into this game
Did you know:
Jotaru, DIO, Shadow DIO, and Poloret have a multi- bar super attack. Jotaru and the DIOs can stop time temporary, while Pol puts himself and your opponent asleep (and temporarily evolves his Stand to Silver Chariot Requem).
I loved this game so much as a kid, Iggy has a farting raging demon and what else can you ask for. The series has so much personality and you see it in all the memes, thanks for covering it.
You can tell Capcom put so much love in this game, it makes me so sad that nothing has come close to the quality of this game.
Banna flavored candy is intentionally not similar to bananas we eat everyday. They actually taste like bananas from over 100 years ago (Gros Michel). They went nearly extinct so now we have been eating the bananas you know today.
And the bananas we eat today are so going extinct
I think Gros Michel are no longer almost extinct?
@@SuperAmazingJared they are extinct
@@coldmashedpotatoes1702 you're just wrong guy, they're around still, just rare
When I was a teen, I found this used for $5 at gamestop. This was my most favorite fighting game for ps1. Who would've thought I'd get so much joy out of $5 😆
You could sell it for like $200 now
@@bigbadvicHo sell it? I couldn't think of it
@@therealtheocavi same, game is priceless
@@bigbadvicHomore like $700 us version in 2023! 😱💸🤑💸😱
I'm so glad you're discussing this game. I started playing a few years ago and I think that it deserves more credit than it got.
Just finished the video, I cannot believe that Khan, the worst character, won the tournament. Truly a testament to how determined FGC players can be.
Actually Mariah is worse than Khan
Thank you for calling attention to this underrated fighting game, even if you arent really a jojo fan, this game still has some fun as heck mechanics. I like to play Alessi and play stand footsies!
I find funny the fact that for some reason, most of the hftf players hate alessi
Love this game to death. A game with a majority of puppeteer type characters felt so different. This was one of those games I crossed paths with and it made me rethink what a fighting game could do.
Took me a hot minute to realize that kakyoin in the first round wasn't actually kakyoin, rubber soul got me smh
This game is so nostalgic for me! I was lucky enough to come across this game in an arcade as a kid. I thought for years that Jojo was a Capcom property, and always wondered why Jotaro was never in MvC.
Though, Jotaro and Dio in MvC would be fucking cool
The closest we've seen to that thus far is how Seth uses Jotaro and Dio's (invisible) stands to attack in Street Fighter V. I hope Shonen Jump vs Capcom happens at some point so that we can see Jotaro in a game with other Capcom characters.
I'm not going to lie, it was playing this game that got me into the series. First the Dreamcast port, then the OVAs, then the manga. Memories.
Honestly this game being closer to a street fighter than a traditional airdasher anime kind of game actually makes a lot of sense. Jojo has always been one of the more quite literally "grounded" shonen, since while stands can have crazy powers, the entire magic system is built around the concete that the stands are limited by being linked to normal, vulnerable people. It's what causes the fights in JoJo to have their more visceral, tactical feel since this usually (emphasis on usually) limits just how far the scale can go. Even the most broken abilities like The World or GER don't have that dragon ball, blowing up planets gravitas, the only time JoJo ever really gets to that scale is Made in Heaven, otherwise every fight is relatively grounded in terms of raw explosive scale.
Mostly on the new parts where stands have become more of a tool than just punching ghosts
The "fake" banana flavor tastes like a variety of banana that nearly went extinct.
I thought that variant DID go extinct. Where has it survived? o3o
Exactly, modern bananas are actually all clones of one specific plant. Also, if I'm not mistaken, they are also a hybrid variant formed from 3 or 4 different types
@@MrMarket1987 The Gros Michel? It's not entirely extinct, but it is rare.
@@syd.a.m Here's hoping for a time it can return to commodity. I used to get the candies of it and always wondered why bananas never seemed to taste like it as a kid. I'd sure like to try the real thing sometime.
@@MrMarket1987 Here's a video from Weird Explorer where he tries and reviews the banana: ua-cam.com/video/_x-yhe9GfoY/v-deo.html He also provides information on where you might find one.
The streams you did for this was super fun! Glad to have been a part of you discovering this game!
Played this game in my local arcade back in the late 90s when I was like 10. Didnt even know what JoJo was. First arcade game I ever took the top spot in.
If I knew before about the Jojo tournament I would have entered. This game is so much fun, and the fight cade of it is very active
me seeing the tournament: nothing special
Me after seeing perfect with khan in finals: YES
Me seeing him win matches: YEEEEEEEES
me seeing him losing with midler: NO
me seeing him switch back to khan: YEEEEEEEEES
me seeing him win a tournament with khan: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
This game is still one of my all time favorite fighters, it’s so much fun with a shit ton of fan service. This is THE Jojo fighter and I feel like it can’t be topped
"why do all the characters faces look so accurate except for kakyoin?"
because IT GOT KAKYOIN, IT GOT HIS EYES
Because that's not Kakyoin, that's Rubber Soul with Yellow Temperance. Kakyoin is broken af in this game
du yue understaaanduuuuu???!?!!!!
@@doncinati7644 hory shet!!!!!
I was waiting for you to play this, it's so good!
This game is awesome! My cousin actually has an emulation on his PC and we still occasionally play this! It’s so fun! 👍
Finally, this game deserves some love.
This was so intense !! I've been in love with the game for a while and this video is perfect for me to get into it
Im so happy this game is getting more attention this game was actually my introduction to the fgc
Bro your content is top tier. You are just hella positive and talk about all the old school games that deserve to be brought up again. 👍🏾. #teamjmcrofts
I look forward to the JMCup every month
Man, I wish I was in on this. This game is fuckin great and I love seeing an opportunity for more people to get in to it!
To anyone interested in more tournaments, there's JoJo's Weekly Tournaments
Weeklies have been dead for nearly 3 years at this point, EU has Slavic and sometimes smackdown but NA doesn’t have much in terms of events
played this a lot in the arcades in early 2000's. we had a lot of players for this game in our local arcade in davao city philippines and most of us didnt even know about jojo manga and anime back then. We just liked the game.
6:28 omfg I died when he asked that, he looked so heart broken 😂😭
This game actually kicks ass! Lots of polish, love and care thrown into a game for a (at the time) somewhat niche franchise.
It wasn't niche in Japan...
@@marianoclerici3986 Not really, it was in fact niche at the time even in Japan lol.
I stan old-people cereal 100%. The milk/fruit adds enough sweetness; no extra sugar needed.
Ayeee I’m glad you covered this game, it’s so sick
The sprites are all time fighting game greats. Just iconic and everlasting to those who've seen em
This game was the embodiment of "pick your TOD"
this game is dope, u still can play him at netplays to this day
Love the JM cup series!
been waiting for this one!
Absolutely love this game. Played the hell out of it with my buds on the PS3 in undergrad.
If you ever host a tournament where anyone can enter for JoJo's please let the HFTF discord know, we'd love to playa and show you what this game is capable of!
Such a nostalgic game
I bought the Dreamcast game for $7 from an electronics recycling shop in 2006. It now goes for over $300. It's wild how this game blew up in recent years.
Wow, this game is so entertaining! And very creative, like any Jojo-related stuff are. AWESOME! Where can we see the full championship?
Ive been playing this game by 1 year, such a amazing game
helo lucas
@@nick9115 hi nick
If you get Dio to max meter you can do a combo, stop time, do like 3 supers in a row finishing with RODA ROLLA
Fun fact, the banana flavor in candy is what bananas actually used to taste like before we cross bred them and took the seeds out. So the flavor you like is just the original flavor and not fake.

@@jmcrofts thanks for that. But I hated this article. It went from saying that my statement was false to at the end saying that my statement has a good chance of being true. Or did I read that wrong?
Ahead of its time you say
They don't call it Heritage for the Future for no reason
YES! I ALWAYS WANTED TO WATCH JMCROFTS PLAY THIS GAME!!!!
Have this on my Dreamcast, still pick it up sometimes
havent watched the video fully yet i jus wanna say thank you for shedding more light for this amazing game i hoop one day it gets ported to modern consoles
An Arcsys Jojo fighter or even Jstars would be insane.
Lol no
I had this game on the Sega Dreamcast. It was absolutely fantastic and my introduction to JoJo.
An all-time classic.
Out of every game I'd recommend after this one, Touhou: Hisoutensoku is an absolute must-play ehe
It's a "danmaku fighting game" which essentially means it's a game based around projectiles and grazing - like, everyone has projectiles, and some strong ones at that (hello Patche)
There's also Touhou: Hyouibana, which is on Switch and PS4, but I'd recommend Soku for a more classic fighting game experience
Yoooo this is super cool man
Just downloaded this game 😁😍 installing it when I get home in an hour
Having the stand out really stands out 😂
This game is narratively amazing. Every character's moveset and playstyle fits their character perfectly and their weakness are actually weaknesses they would have in the manga.
I wish they made more of these
We definitely need a remake of this
That was hype!!!
He played Polnareff... We will always remember Frank as a man of the people *salutes sunset with tear-stained cheek*
Too bad he didn't include me landing the ray dart combo. I was going for that all tourney.
@@servebotfrank4082 HE LIVES
I read about this game in a magazine before it came out, but I just happened to find the Dreamcast port in a local pawn shop back in 2003 for $10, so I snatched it up immediately
this game is awesome
I still play it via emulation (since all my Dreamcast games got stolen) to this day
also, link combos were first introduced in Street Fighter Alpha, though in Alpha II only a handful of characters could do them
If they make another Jojo 2D fighter for next gen consoles in the future, I’ll be so happy and scream ngl
Yep. I want a chance to support a new jojo game on modern consoles. People say allstar battle is too casual. People have multiple problems with jojo eyes of heaven. I have gotten so desperate for new jojo content that I just want jojo's bizzare adventure: last survivor to be ported so i can get my hands on some jojo!!!! I don't care if its an avergae 3rd person shooter with a jojo skin. Give me a chance to hate it!!
And this is as close as we ever get to Shonen jump VS Capcom
Had it on Dreamcast. I loved this game!!!
Cannot stress enough that as a big fan of Jojos Weekly Tournaments (rip) watching this is so bizarre, seeing a Rubber player land the grab and then punch once, pause then punch again is so endearingly obviously beginner, as is seeing a Polnareff not do 78 Shooting Stars a match.
Lol, I was definitely gunning for shooting stars but I kept fudging the charge towards the end of the tourney. So I just stopped doing it because it was getting me hit. I can tell you that a lot of me getting mashed out by Khan was a result of me fudging the charge and pressing up C too early and getting smacked for it.
@@servebotfrank4082 fair, HFTF doesn't exactly have the easiest inputs. If this game gets run again I hope you can land more!
@@kirbymongerr1771 I would love to run this game again, but I don't know if we will. We weren't huge fans of people from the Heritage discord shit talking us in the stream chat and in general being dicks about how new we were. I personally can deal with it, but it lead to the live streams being kind of awkward outside of the highlights being shown here and the stream chat was just arguing with each other and JM wasn't happy about it.
Someone also tried to join to "show the game off" which usually is code for "I want to come in and destroy some beginners on stream." Thankfully he forgot to sign up.
It was easily one of my favorite tourneys that we've done, even if I was salty about getting knowledge checked by a Khan, but the community kind of ruined it.
"Polnareff 's like, roasting him!"
Polnareff's line: "We'll meet...in Italy..."
The stand mechanic reminds me a lot of personas in Persona 4 Arena, despite this game being more than 10 years older.
Also artificial banana flavor slaps. Banana milkshakes are my weakness
TBH, I wasn't even thinking about the JoJo reference meme. I was thinking Jodeci.
They made a 2.5d fighter a few years ago (NOT Eyes of Heaven) that was quite fun to play, excluding the lack of serviceable dashes. JoJo could be the next FighterZ if a good studio could get the rights
All-star battle?
If they let the developers of DBFighterZ make one like this but with their anime-shading technique then the game would thrive a lot.
No
one of the funniest jmcrofts vids based fake banana flavor and cheerio enjoyer
JM bro.... jojo's only gets exponentially better after the second season.
PalpatineDoIt.jpg
legend says that fake banana flavor is actually not fake, that's how the most popular banana variety used to taste but they were all vulnerable to some decease and kinda stopped being cultivated
One of my all time fighting game favs this game is why I downloaded fightcade
The parry has a unique mechanic..if you're good at it you can basically remove enemies moves effectiveness.
They keep abusing a move? Take it away from them
I'm surprised you haven't made a video about this game before
If you’re someone who missed the boat on getting this game, persona 4 arena ultimax is a used a similar stand system. Another overlooked anime fighter
What do you mean missed the boat? This game is still thriving with a very competitive online scene. Iirc persona 4 arena has less players than this at current
6:06 banana runts? I gotta try dat 🤣
This is still my favourite kusoge, it’s so fun to do anything really
First time seeing this game, it honestly doesn't even look kusoge. Just looks good lol. Underappreciated I would say
It's unbalanced but not a Kusoge at all lmao
If this game is a Kusoge then every fighting game released before the 2000's is a Kusoge
@@Sorrelhas Obviously not a literal kusoge, but close. It's super unbalanced, it has some broken moves that you can only dream of countering and you abuse system mechanics the devs didn't intend to be a central part of the gameplay. Oh, and a fair amount of infinites, also.
@@vitorodino9851 Yeah, you kinda can't tell just by looking at it, but it is. Doesn't make it any less fun tho
@@jonatanperdomo432 Again, then every fighting game released before the 2000's is a Kusoge, because most of them are chock full of the things you mentioned
Is SF2 a kusoge? Any of the KoF games? They all have those things, except maybe infinites (but full of ToDs)
I could not tell in the first fight if that was like a rubber soul imitating kakyoin or if that was just a different kakyoin
I wish they’d make a new one. It’s like my video game dream.
I just put this game on my vita but the Dreamcast version ughhh one day I’ll have you physically
FINALLY this game is getting some attention!!
Definitely way ahead of it’s time.
I cried today thinking of this game.
Just ordered my first stick. Any advice for going to controller to stick.
This board produced the best sprite graphics of all time. 3s, this, and red earth. And with cfe I finally got to play red earth, but sadly I've never played this and I love Jojo and fighting games
I hope they make a game like that style
this game is my jam in fightcade
