DIO (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

Then come as close as you like!
DIO, The scourge of the Joestars, the strongest stand user, joins Rivals of Aether. Bringing with himself his uncontested power and limitless supply of butcher knives. Show your opponents the true power of THE WORLD!




DIO is a very combo heavy character, though his damage output is quite low, his abilities lie more in the ability to start and extend combos which culminate in the powerful finisher that is the time stop

DIO's main gimmick is his stand, THE WORLD, the most powerful stand. While performing jab, a tilt, dash attack or any aerial, you can press the shield button (or in this case the stand button) to have The World perform an attack alongside you, the attack varies based on input and it's not limited to what you're performing now. For example, if you use ftilt then quickly press up before pressing shield, The world will perform up tilt, and so on

Pressing shield during fspecial air, dspecial, uspecial or jab will make The World not return to you immediately after attacking, allowing it to control the area where it is. While detached, The World will automatically face the nearest opponent and will perform your inputs regardless of whether you press shield or not. Pressing shield during any stand attack will make it retreat at the end of it. Using up special will automatically recall the stand. While the stand is out, DIO will take slightly more damage from attacks. If the stand is hit it will retreat and DIO will take damage.
Certain attacks will make The World temporarily detached, allowing you to perform detached attacks on the fly but still have The World return to you right after

DIO's neutral special can be charged, storing up to 5 knives. If performed while the stand is not detached, 2 more knives will be thrown and if charged, the charge won't be consumed if the knives are thrown during stopped time. Knives can also be used to extend combos thanks to their high hitpause

After landing a long enough combo (not counting knife hits) the hud colors will invert, if nspecial is pressed (while not in hitstun) any action you're currently performing will be canceled into the time stop. DIO will be fully invincible while time is stopped and all damage dealt to an opponent will be stacked up and dealt all at once after, projectiles Will be frozen in place and will only move again as soon as time resumes

DIO was a character long in the making, spamming more than 2 years of development time and many different animators who undertook the task. The initial Collab was between me and Jazzicks, Gonker came around about a year later to make Jotaro and lend a hand with DIO. However progress was slow so I decided to get MisteryJoJo in along with Mr.Rix in order to meet the 5Prints (Malice) deadline. It was one heck of a ride but I'm glad I can finally call this project done, hope you all enjoy what we made.
Also, massive thanks to MisteryJoJo for going along with my ideas and making the panels for the trailer, in the end it was worth it
