also, i read in a guide out there somewhere that if you redhot kick fire leo BEFORE he jumps back into the lava, after you give him a beating, you can interrupt his sequence and hit him again, and again! I can't remember the author of the guide but thanks to him.

Woo, I finally got around to buying this game yesterday!

I have a bit of a question, though: Y'know how you can unlock extra characters? Well, do they actually have different abilities or are they just new and pretty looking? Thanks.

To Unlock the other characters you have to beat the game on diffrent difficulty levels

Adults Mode - You Unlock Sylvia - Her VFX Meter drains Slower than Joe's and she can jump slightly higher, only problem is she takes double damage.

V Rated - You unlock Alastor - He can Double jump even when he is not Viewtiful

Ultra V Rated - Unlocks C. Blue - He has a very high jump but he can't detect even biancky attacks.

^ NO and this is not a double post.

First my last post was last month, so no double here. I just want to announce a disappointment, some of you may know others don't ( or maybe it was discussed on this thread before ) But VJ is coming to PS2 along with Killer7! come on VJ could have been a Gamecube exclusive, Capcom now brings it to the PS2 for the sake of cash.. Well in other news it is rumored that Capcom is working on VJ 2 for gamecube, since it is still a rumor, we will probably see more of that later on.

DOUBLE POST TO THE MAX!!!!!!1111

Viewtiful Joe going to PS2 is a rumor. Capcom themselves haven't made an official announcement or IGN isn't bringing in the news and Capcom.com doesn't know about it.

Killer 7 is a GameCube exclusive in the USA. There will be Japanese and PAL versions of Killer 7 for PS2, though.

Keep teh rumors away.... And why would it be a disappointment? Sure it would be cool to have Joe as a Nintendo exclusive franchise from Capcom but more people deserve to play Viewtiful Joe. It's a great game.

You are an idiot, CSHD out.

and plz don't post in bold. kthxbye.

True, well if Viewtiful Joe ever comes to the PS2, it would probably feature " sweet mode " which is found on the import only Viewtiful Joe: Revival.

Why. Would. You?
Just to add more prof to the puding (?) Hyper Magaziene has also mentioned this rumor and mentioned the C-word. Capcom. Well duh, but as a source I think. I'll check and make sure.
Just for the record, Viewtiful is rumored to be ported onto the PS2 and viewtiful 2 (How's this for a name: Just 2 Viewtiful?) may be made for the cube AND the PS2.

did any one get the words to the song "Viewtiful World"?? I couldn't make out the words.
That's 'cause they're in Japanese (or some weird mix of English, Japanese, and jibberish). You can listen to them again in the options menu. Good look trying to translate 'em.

I just got this game on Saturday (Finally!), and I'm already at "The Magnificent Five".

I just have the problem in that I don't have any idea whatsoever how to beat Fire Leo. Any tips? Also any tips on keeping V-points stored up? I always seem to keep up to just a tiny bit less than what I need for any major technique.

Hey, sweet, a chance to be useful.

Anyhow, Fire Leo, while at first the most daunting of any boss you'll face in the game, has a pretty simple pattern, when exploited, can make this battle a breeze.

First, avoid (jump over) him as he runs around the stage and scatters those boulders about. Before he gets a chance to start spewing his massive fireballs, just mach-speed the granitey *** off of any of those boulders until you're red n' glowin'. With this firey aura, you'll be immune to his fireballs, so get your butt down over to him and hit him to extinguish his fire.

Now, you're going to have to engage him in some hand-to-hand combat. Just dodge his attacks and retaliate with your own (preferrably with Red-Hot One Hundred (Zoom, Slow, Punch)) until, and a little after, his shield breaks. Now his gonna go into a spinning mode a la Bianky Ballerina. Watch the skulls and listen for audible clues as to whether it'll be a high or low attack, as there will be a whole bunch of them and in quick succession.

After you dodge ALL the attacks (with maybe one hit leeway), Leo'll get dizzy and be rather vulnerable to attack. Again, I suggest RHOH. After a few hits, he'll be knocked backwards, jump back into the pool of lava, jump back out and the whole cycle repeats itself. Be warned that he picks up the pace quite drastically as his health bar lowers.

As for storing V-Points, all I can suggest is utilise the Rock-On combos whenever possible. Also, don't be afraid to die, as replaying a level a few times can lead to massive V-Point gains.

Good news for those anxious for the next installment of the Viewtiful Joe series, partly because recent reports from Famitsu magazine indicate that there are two new VJs on the horizon.

Scratch! Viewtiful Joe will be available on the DS and Viewtiful Joe: VFX Battle, a SSBM-esque fighting game, will be available on Gamecube (and if some soruces are to be believed, PSP as well).

Details and screenshots can be found here.

I must say, Joe doesn't look that bad on DS. Too bad like most other DS games though it probably won't come out till fall. :|

This threads been dead for over two years lol. Well, Viewtiful Joe is indeed an amazing game. I have not yet played the DS version or the PS2 one, or Red Hot Rumble (which i heard is a piece of ****) Are the other titles besides the original any good? Henshin a go go, baby.

(I hope I don't get flamed for bringing back a dead thread)

No, you won't be flamed and the other VJ games aren't as good as the original. It felt SO good to beat Ultra V-Rated when coming back into it after like 5 months after quitting because of frustration. Also, I got all RVs with Joe on Adults. Don't feel like doing the others. >_>
