Josuke, Okuyasu, Jolyne and Hermes revealed for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle

Famitsu did a grand reveal today of four new characters for the upcoming fighting game Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle. This stylish fighter makes sure that the references to the source material are as accurate as possible when fighters move, and it can be seen in the screenshots below how their powers were incorporated.

Josuke's stand Crazy Diamond has the ability to restore objects and people to their original state. Okuyasu's stand The Hand has the ability to "remove space", allowing unique control of air pressurization. Jolyne's stand Stone Free is entirely composed of string and is a master of rope-like feats (Uniquely, it allows Jolyne herself to unravel into string). Hermes's stand Kiss has the ability to split objects and rejoin them (while doing damage) using stickers.

With the introduction of these four new characters, the playable roster has increased to 12. Four more characters were heavily hinted at in trailers, so the unofficial count is actually 16. Check out the screenshots below of the new characters and anticipate a new trailer showing their tricks soon.

Aww damn it. For a split second I thought these were the characters Niitsuma wanted to put in UMvC3 but couldn't. Man was I fooled.

Part IV was pretty decent and It's good to see some people finally revealed from it. I am surprised though; I expected Koichi to be revealed alongside Josuke, but Okuyasu is cool too.

Awesome, I love the JoJO designs, they are sooo different. I hope Hol Horse and/or Vanilla Ice is in but if he isn't I'll just use Dio.

I couldn't get into the whole stand thing reading the manga, the ripple seemed so much cooler to me. I'm still interested in the part 2 guys though, so I'm keeping an eye on this game.

Don't just stand there, let's get to it. Strike a pose, there's nothing to it.

@ 12

I will never understand why some people feel the need to rub certain things (things that have potential to be on all consoles) getting exclusivity in the competing console owner's faces. It wouldn't affect you if it was on the Xbox, and if the shoe was on the other foot you can bet you would be b*tching up a storm.

What part of that was meant to be funny? I don't sense sarcasm or lightheartedness...nope, not looking like a joke. Yes I am butthurt! No reason to rub it in or "joke around".

Well, if Diavolo is in, I hope his stand power is going to be interpreted. His stand and the Stand of the Antagonist of Part 7 has the most incomprehensible power in the JoJo universe.

@27: Diavolo could possibly have a teleportation move (in perspective of his opponent he often seems to be teleporting). Part 7 Villain could have a Firebrand-style assist super. and in both cases they could quite possibly have a healing super (as a result of their abilities to negate damage in special ways).

Diavolo's power is pretty easy to understand actually. I won't explain it here though, due to lack of any type of spoiler tags. =P

Anyway, with the inclusion of Okuyasu, it seems that all the bromances of Jojo will be represented in this game. xD
