* SkillGateCharacter:

''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future'' (simply referred to as ''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure'' in official English materials) is Creator/{{Capcom}}'s late 90s arcade fighting game based on [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Part 3]] of the long-running ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' series, and one of the few games for their Capcom Play System III board (The others being ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'', its revisions ''Double Impact'' and ''Third Strike'', and ''VideoGame/RedEarth'')

Around 2011, the existence of a "HD" rerelease on Platform/PlayStation3 and Platform/Xbox360 for their respective download services was leaked in an XBLA list. The game was eventually officially announced at the 2012 SanDiegoComicCon and then released in the summer of that year to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the ''[=JoJo=]'' manga. The new release features leaderboards and achievements as well as new graphical filters and, for overseas versions, the first time players could officially restore the more violent elements.

[[http://www.joystiq.com/2014/09/10/jojos-bizarre-adventure-hd-delisted-on-xbox-360/ The HD rerelease was eventually delisted from XBox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in mid to late 2014]], due to the video game rights to the ''[=JoJo=]'' franchise transferring from Capcom to Creator/BandaiNamco.

** And Black Polnareff, who decides the last person to be hacked to pieces...

** One of Polnareff's supers has a Stand Arrow fly out of nowhere and [[spoiler:[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind turn Silver Chariot into its Requiem form]]]], putting the opponent to sleep while Polnareff remarks that he can "feel fate within the bow and arrow." (Although Polnareff's still alive this time and the Stand reverts to its previous form afterward.) Furthermore, one of his win vocals translates to him telling the opponent (and the player) that they'll "meet again in the future, in Italy." If you want to be technical, the Arrow could also reference Part 4, where it debuts.

-->'''Joseph:''' What? You're still alive?! You must be a vampire. In that case... (''hurls Vanilla Ice into the sunlight with a huge Hamon-infused punch, burning him to a crisp'') ...[[ThePowerOfTheSun let me]] ''[[ThePowerOfTheSun brighten up]]'' [[ThePowerOfTheSun your day!]]

* PuppetFighter: The TropeMaker. Most characters' Stands could be briefly controlled at a distance from their user, which meant that ''every'' character in the game was this to an extent. Devo in particular codified the "two characters at the same time" style that would be used for [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Zato=1]] and [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Carl Clover]], among others.

** "Passive Stand" characters in general tend to be this: they lack the ability to activate a Stand, and instead focus all their abilities down a single moveset. As a result, they are easier to learn, but they possess smaller movesets and lack the advantages that a Stand provides, such as negating chip damage and knockdowns. (The big exception to this rule is Pet Shop.)

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: One of Rubber Soul's super moves is his Coconut Backbreaker (which he used on a pickpocket in the manga) where he lifts his opponent up and gets them in the Torture Rack.

%% (ZCE) ** Death 13's tactic of sending out smaller sickles as projectiles brings to mind [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} another entity related to death]]. -- Which one?

** Jotaro's medium-punch skin has him in all white, referencing his outfit in ''Diamond is Unbreakable''. He also shouts "Star Platinum: The World!" when performing his time stop, something he never did in Part 3, but would do from Part 4 onward.

* ColourCodedTimestop: DIO's time stop is shown as completely gray.

Around 2011, the existence of a "HD" rerelease on UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/Xbox360 for their respective download services was leaked in an XBLA list. The game was eventually officially announced at the 2012 SanDiegoComicCon and then released in the summer of that year to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the ''[=JoJo=]'' manga. The new release features leaderboards and achievements as well as new graphical filters and, for overseas versions, the first time players could officially restore the more violent elements.

* AdjustableCensorship: the UsefulNotes/Xbox360 and the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 had the option to restore the blood cut from the UsefulNotes/PlayStation and UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast ports, which includes one of DIO's inputs, "Bloody Summoning". This, along with DIO's head/torso exploding at the end of Story mode like in the manga as opposed to him flying off the screen like in the console ports.
* AdaptationalBadass: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] trope with Midler and Mariah as they used their stands quite well in both the Manga and Anime, but due to it being a fighting game instead of playing keep away they are right in the middle of the fight this time and can hold their own quite well. Khan (and to a minor extent Chaka and Anubis possessed Polnareff) is the better example being a very minor antagonist that is quickly disposed off originally but was [[PromotedtoPlayable promoted to playable]] on later releases (though his moveset is quite limited),

*** If he gets transformed by Alessi's Stand, Old Joseph turns into Young Joseph, and Young Joseph becomes the even younger Joseph reading a Comicbook/{{Superman}} comic from one of his youth flashbacks in Part 2.

* SpectacularSpinning: Khan doesn't have an "active" Stand, so pressing the Stand button with him makes him do a SpinAttack, ala [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], or [[NotQuiteFlight float through the air]] by spinning like a helicopter rotor. However, holding it too long makes him lose his balance, forcing him to take longer to recover afterward.

** Midler's Ending, [[spoiler:while she manages to defeat DIO after a difficult fight, however she still chooses to sacrifice her life to give DIO the remaining blood he needs, leading him to get rest of his power back, and since she defeated all of the Stardust Crusaders there is no one remaining to oppose DIO.]]

* BonusBoss: Death Thirteen can only be fought by the heroes (Jotaro, Kakyoin, Old Joseph, Polnareff, Avdol and Iggy) if the player has performed a lot of super finishes and never lost a round by the time they reach him.

* CreepyCircusMusic: The [[https://youtu.be/VpykhkB2hPE theme that plays]] during the optional bout with [[BonusBoss Death 13]] is this, being a whimsical yet sinister piece that sounds like it's being played on an old Merry-Go-Round calliope.

* ShoutOut:

The game plays like a typical fighting game for the time, with three buttons for attacking (and the ability to dodge by pressing all three buttons at once), and inherits the "seamless rounds" match format from ''[[VideoGame/[[Darkstalkers]] Vampire Savior]]''. More notably is the integration of the series' famous "Stand" ability. Each character has a "Stand" that can be summoned or activated at the touch of a button to assist them in battle and augment their abilities. Of course, characters with an "active" Stand have to watch out for their Stand Gauge, which depletes when they're hit and if emptied, will cause a Stand Crash, which will leave them vulnerable. And they still take damage if their Stand takes a hit.

As it's a Capcom game, of course, different versions were made, though thankfully this game only received one update. The first version of the game, simply titled ''[=JoJo=]'s Venture'', featured 16 characters, with 13 playable (DIO being semi-hidden), 2 hidden characters, and 3 unplayable bosses (Vanilla Ice, N'Doul, and Death 13).

The update, titled ''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure: Heritage For The Future'' in Japan and just ''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure'' everywhere else, added more characters to the roster, made the formerly unplayable sub-boss Vanilla Ice playable, as well as adding 4 more hidden characters to the 2 that were already there, making for a nicely sized cast of 22 (although 1 character remains unplayable).

* ContinueCountdown: The continue screen shows your selected character standing exhausted below a spotlight while D'Arby calmly sits in the background. What happens at 0? He rather cruelly summons Osiris, to steal your character's soul by turning them into a poker chip with its hefty palms, all while said character emits a DeathCryEcho. Conversely, choosing to continue will have D'Arby flash a thumbs-up and declare "GOOD!".

* OffModel: Several instances, sometimes the portraits don't match the style used in the story mode. Also, compare the artwork from the Arcade flyer and the one used in the game; it's understandable, however, because Araki was already drawing ''Golden Wind'', and the game uses a lot of his older, more gritty art.

* ReformulatedGame: In a roundabout way, the [=PlayStation=] port is both this and an UpdatedRerelease. While it does uses its UI elements and songs from the first release ''Venture'' version, it has many of the same inclusions as the upgraded ''Heritage'' version, [[VersionExclusiveContent as well as]] bonus mini-games, unlockable gallery features, and hosts an exclusive Super Story Mode that retells all of ''Stardust Crusaders'' from beginning to end. The only downside to this version is the reduced color palette and animations, making it graphically inferior to every other release as a result.

* UpdatedRerelease: JJBA is this to JJV.
