So, while thinking on an actual real mountain that exists, metaphorically in my mind.
Was that an odd enough first line?
Anyways, I had an idea for more interactive stuff here.
So, what will I be doing?
I will be creating a board that looks like it's for Twitter but use it for YouTube.
This board will consist of members of the Joestar groups.
Now using it, you will pick your members to make the strongest team you can!
But before we get any further, this video was brought to you by our sponsor for today's
video, SurfShark.
Now, I'm sure that you know what a VPN is by now, but here's what SurfShark can do for
you!
One subscription allows you to install and run Surfshark on an unlimited number of devices
at the same time.
There are apps for all platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, etc.
Then there's also the fact you have access to streaming sites other country libraries.
In addition to the VPN features, you have Surfshark Search, where you search in complete
privacy.
No ads or trackers following your every move.
So you can sign up with SurfShark today by clicking this link in the description (promo
code Kaleb), which will give you an 83% discount plus 3 months free added on
to this.
Now, for how the board works.
You have a given 14 points to make up a team.
For example, Jotaro takes off 5 of the 14, and you got nine left.
Now you can mess around with the other characters to see how far you can maximize this team.
Here's my design philosophy here.
5 has your hardest all-around hitters with that special something over everyone.
For example, Jotaro gives you "time stop," and Josuke gives you restoration.
Polnareff is there because of how closely he had matched Jotaro.
The 4's are strong too but don't have enough to put them in the same area as the 5's.
This difference is due to either a flaw in strength or intelligence in the 4's.
3, 2, and 1 is a lesser extent of that.
Now, there are so many combinations here that can create a meta that would probably require
other teams to be organized for a specific one.
But!
Now I'll go over combinations I think are deadly.
For one, consider the ranged users here.
Kakyoin is a fantastic stand user with a fair amount of battle intelligence, and he has
a lot of abilities you'd want on a team.
Hierophant Green can try to bind another stand or person, and that gives opportunity to other
stand users to use abilities that are hard to land.
Like Heaven's Door's written-in commands, using Okuyasu to swipe off someone's head,
or maybe you'd like to pick Dire so that he won't miss his Thunder Cross Split attack
even though it never missed yet failed both times we've seen it used.
I'm fine, I promise.
You also have characters that are similar to Kakyoin but to a lesser extent.
Yukako can use her hair in the same ways, and so could Old Joseph.
You just have to gauge the rest of your team coverage.
Bruno can combine his "stand" with someone else to make Sticky Fingers a top-tier utility
in dissembling threats.
Imagine you have two Jotaro's fighting against each other, and one of the Jotaro's turns
into body pieces with zippers at the end of it.
Or even better, imagine someone has an extremely strong Jonathan around, and he just gets zipped
up into the ground.
There are also some combinations that I feel should work in theory.
For example, you're familiar with Stray Cat from Part 4, right?
Ideally, if we combined Spice Girl with Caesar's bubbles, that should absorb some hits, and
if she would want to, she can undo it, and then you get Caesar's razor bubbles right
back.
Don't forget we also have our 5's and their utility.
Time stop and Crossfire Hurricane Special, time stop and the whole Sex Pistol's armada,
time stop and Aerosmith to do what I would call the "Metallica special," or anything
else!
Polnareff and Josuke should mean that Silver Chariot can shoot out its sword anytime and
has a guarantee on coming back.
Giorno's life-giver plus any immobilizing type of "stand" ability is an extreme threat.
But let me talk about who I feel should be considered a level 5 threat considering their
abilities, but I made it a 4 for valid reasons and a sprinkle of chaos.
I mentioned Heaven's Door before, and using Heaven's Door on enemy teams sounds snapped!
But, imagine using Heaven's Door on your team.
If you aren't familiar the lengths that Heaven's Door can go, here's a refresher.
From a neutral state, Heaven's Door made Josuke fly back at 70 km/h.
He did a similar thing to Koichi when the Ghost Alley hands were grabbing him.
So, standard logic bound to physical things shouldn't apply to Rohan or the people he
writes his commands in.
Also, with being able to do something like make Koichi know Italian just by writing it
in, the range of Heaven's door shows to be a terrifying thing.
A couple of scribbles turns Okuyasu into an experienced battle strategist, or make someone
like Jonathan able to blitz Jotaro's Star Platinum, or make Speedwagon speak French!
I don't know exactly why that you'd want to do that in a fight, but it's ok, I won't judge
you for that.
Usually, I'd like to put my input in, but I know that'll warrant teams specific for
my team, so instead, I'll have your comments do it first, so I have the option to cheat.
I'm playing, but I will be doing a follow-up video of the best teams I've seen.
You can leave a comment here, or if you have art of how your team works, you can send it
on Twitter.
We should use a hashtag so that it's easier for me to see, so let's say #JJBATeams.
I highly recommend the art part of it.
And if you're in that situation where you think that your art is bad, and you're not
feeling it, let it be know that I support you, and I think you're doing a great job!
Ok!
The first step of drawing, is doing it!
I'll even do it!
I'm not exactly the best artist at all, but I've been holding off on it too.
Thank you all for watching, I hope to see you all in the next one, and on Twitter.
So, until then, peace out, and godspeed.
