JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Ikuro Hashizawa
Introduction
“ |
I will shut you down.... forever! |
” |
Making his debut in 1984, Ikuro Hashizawa is the 17-year-old protagonist of the manga series Baoh (known in Japan and some other countries as Baoh the Visitor), arguably one of Hirohiko Araki's most famous pre-JoJo works. After being kidnapped by a secret military organization called Dress, Ikuro is forcefully implanted with a parasitic worm that grants its host superhuman powers, turning him into the unstoppable bioweapon BAOH (Biological Armament On Help). After escaping from the organization with the help of a 9-year-old psychic named Sumire, they are now on the run from the organization and its assassins.
Despite being a guest character, Baoh fits in perfectly with the cast both in design and gameplay. Baoh's kit is focused on relentlessly rushing down the opponent with his quick dash speed, multi-hitting "Baoh Shooting Stinger" projectiles, and ability to gain Super Armor on command, while being able to keep up his offensive momentum with his invulnerable "Saber Off!" reversal and threatening high-low mix-ups and cross-ups. This, coupled with his high-damage conversions, makes Baoh a solid pick for those who seek a well-rounded character with above-average execution requirements.
- Astonishing Leap: Baoh has access to a Super Jump ability that can be cancelled from normals on both hit and block, giving him unique combo extensions and allowing for some situational mix-ups.
- This is Baoh!: Through his unique abilities, Baoh can grant Super Armor to the startup of his next special move for 0.25 HH Gauge.
Ikuro Hashizawa is a character that uses his speed and Super Armor to rush the opponent down and keep his offensive momentum going. | |
