@azronger: Their respective performances against Vos and the fact Kolar was considered among the best the order had to offer by his peers.

Agen.

@wollfmyth209:

Yeh, but here JoJo, JoJo Jr and GoGo have at least some knowledge on the quirks at hand.

That's a good point. To bad I don't :^)

In that case though the roles might be reversed. JoJo teams tend to have a difficult time with other Stand users because of the nature of stand powers. Lack of knowledge on your opponent can be the end of you.

In most cases with JoJo the 'enemy stand user' will have a good bit of knowledge on who the heroes are (except Kira who was one of the only underdog villains) and their stands, wheras the heroes tend to go into stand battles blind (in most cases the heroes get ambushed by a strange power).

With the JoJo team having basic knowledge of their opponents and I assume the League of Villains going into this assuming their opponents are just 3 dudes with unknown quirks, this could get messy for the League if they don't figure out how to counter all the powers fast.

Giorno can't use Gold Experience Requiem, just Gold Experience

Thank goodness. Was gonna say, when I saw Giorno there...

Unfortunately, I don't read the MHA manga, (only watch the anime) so I've no clue who wins :^)

Btw, in this scenario are the villains allowed to see stands?

Looking at the number of villains, it's hard to believe Team JoJo win though. They might be powerful (timestop ftw) but they've had trouble before with even simple opponents whose abilities they had trouble countering (see Josuke and Jotaro vs Ratt). Though JoJo stands do tend to be a bit more hax (after the first half of Stardust Crusaders), so it's not suprising to see the team struggle when faced with a strange new power.

@wolfrazer:

Upon much in-depth studying of this ancient text and the thoughtful provocation it provided, I can astutely say that, yes, the greatswordsman can, in fact, end him rightly.

@redheathen:

I thought it was generally accepted that Vader right after turning to the darkside was at his most powerful (IE Knightfall).

Which version do you propose is the strongest?

Aye, one of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing!

Great game! I still play it on occaision!

Oh, we're talking about the new one? Nah, not worth it at all. Especially if you want to support the industry, supporting these kind of crappy practices will harm it's future. I'm glad to see so much backlash and repurcussions actually taking effect.

All my friends were expecting nothing to happen and for the lootbox problem to only get worse and worse over the coming years, but I told them that it had already been building for a good half a decade and this year a bubble was building that is bound to pop. I only hope that this has a serious impact going forward on Publishers decisions to meddle with potentially great games by attempting to use them merely as a platform for transactions, especially when it affects the quality of said game.

I'm going into this industry myself (I'm a student studying 3D Modelling and Animation (specializing more in rigging and animation) and a massive Star Wars fan) and it worries me to see where 'Triple A' gaming is heading.

If you don't mind the microtransactions and think 'hey I'm not going to be paying out, I'll just have fun with the game and be done with it before they re-implement the system' then fair enough, but don't dismiss said purchase as innocent. Your purchase is still endorsing their practices. To be able to put in microtransactions and not see any backlash on game sales (even if the microtransactions weren't lucrative, which they are) encourages them to keep doing it and pushing how far they can go, since there appears to be no risk. I'm happy to see that the bubble has popped.

-----------------

One more thing. I know it can be tempting to buy the game because you love Star Wars, wanna play with the new Star Wars characters and 'support' Star Wars. But thing is the fact that EA have exclusivity rights to Star Wars is a travesty in and of itself.

Hell, after this debacle, Disney even called up EA because EA was hurting the Star Wars image right before an important movie release.
Whatever you think about the game or microtransactions, even if you don't care much for that argument, it's simply a fact that in the eyes of the public EA are hurting Star Wars' reputation as a franchise. The significant backlash and Disney having to step in is proof enough.
(Not to mention them killing Visceral, and cancelling their single player Star Wars adventure game)
The best thing that could happen to Star Wars on the video game platform is to have EA lose the exclusivity rights so Disney can make a deal with better publishers imo.
I personally refuse to support EA as a publisher and especially their hold over my favourite franchise in my favourite entertainment medium.

Think of the Star Wars games we can get under a more reputable publisher. I'd rather wait years for that than pick up and support EA's games today.

@zetsumoto:

All we saw was a bunch of shadow thorns come out of the ground, but he didn't the chance to do anything with them.

That sounds like every time he's about to get serious in the anime thus far.

Not that I'm complaining. I'm happy to see a show like this. Just wish the music that plays when he summons his thorn magic would stick around more.

--

It's my favourite song in the anime... and you can imagine...

The music swells up DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN

And I'm like :o

Then Elias is like 'nah bro, we done here' and the music cuts out.

---

And yeah, I can imagine the magic in this is probably more towards subtle and strange than typical powers.

@zetsumoto:

I've only been watching the anime, so I assumed all this implied power he seems to have might add up to something.
Plus I think having Howl and Elias on screen together would be a delight to the eyes, so this battle interested me. At least on a surface level they have some similarities.
Perhaps it may be mismatched though.

@zetsumoto:

I believe he does take on entire aerial fleets.
Also iirc, he once disabled an aircraft with the wave of his hand, though my memory is foggy.
