JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle League (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 オールスターバトルリーグ, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Ōru Sutā Batoru Rīgu) is a competition consisting of a series of live stream broadcasts to promote JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle. It was announced on June 9, 2013 with the fifth trailer of the PS3 game.

The event was hosted by Bandai Namco producer Noriaki Niino, CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama, and comedian Kendo Kobayashi. It was set up as a tournament between computer controlled characters. Due to Kobayashi's absence on August 7, 2013, Yoji Ueda, Robert E. O. Speedwagon's voice actor, temporarily replaced Kobayashi's role.

The tournament was split up into two portions: a preliminary round of 6 randomly selected groups, and a final round consisting of the winners of the preliminaries and the cheer campaign. A special PlayStation 3 theme featuring DIO and his Stand The World was made available afterwards to commemorate the winner.[1]

The footage of the tournament was later removed from Bandai Namco's YouTube channel.

Cheer Campaign

Preceding the tournament, a poll was cast allowing people around the world to cheer for a particular character. The votes were totaled to decide which characters could skip straight to the finals.

Rules for Cheer Campaign

  1. On the official site, fans select a character from the selection located on the right.
  2. After selecting their choice, fans will need to click the twitter button located to the left to tweet a message link. (Will need to be logged onto Twitter to do this.)
  3. Only one vote per person is counted each day.
  4. The top 3 characters are automatically placed in the finals.

Preliminary Stage

The preliminary matches placed the remaining characters into 7 groups labeled A through G. Groups A-F had 4-5 contestants each, with the top two moving onto the finals, while Group G included a "revived" fan favorite and had only one winner. The 13 preliminary winners and 3 cheer campaign winners (total of 16) moved onto the finals.
