After making two JoJo games that were undeniably not great, the original All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, CC2 finally got together and decided they'd make a JoJo game that was good for its gameplay AS WELL as its fanservice, rather than just the latter. Taking their original All-Star Battle and surprisingly enough fixing almost every issue with the game, as well as repurposing some Eyes of Heaven content for ASBR as well. In my opinion, this is the first truly good JoJo fighter. I know people HFTF but I've never really cared for it but finally after all these years, we finally have a game worth playing, and its pretty good. Oh, but there's no rollback netcode, so the online is pretty bad but besides that, everything else here is nice. Besides the lack of Part 8 (JoJolion) content... There's one JoJolion character in the game (Josuke) and his moveset is the same as it was in the original All-Star Battle that released 2 years into its serialization, there's been 8 extra years of JoJolion since then but no update to Josuke and no new characters. Unfortunate...

Still, the game is fun and the fanservice is pretty excellent, if the online was better I'd strongly recommend it but I can still mostly recommend it regardless

Oh but they need to get rid of the insane stunlock combos that some characters have, the way characters bounce when getting downed can lead to some characters being able to just infinite the fuck out of you and that gets really annoying, not a problem unless you're playing against tryhard insane players but still can be a problem sometimes. Getting infinite combo'd with no countermeasure besides Assists is really annoying
