Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=Yes Scales=Yes Mid
Can combo from d.5C and 5A. More or less no reason to use this over 6B.

5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	5	17	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-3	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=No Scales=No Mid
Surprisingly good as an anti-air for jump-ins that are farther away. Hits twice. Can combo into 236X. Used for the fastest meter build in the game, by doing 5C 236S you gain meter incredibly fast.

2A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	1	5	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+6	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=Yes Scales=Yes Low
Hits incredibly low. 2A 6B is 1 frame tighter than 5A 6B. Can be used for some niche low profile hits, like ducking Hol 5C.

2B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	2	17	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-3	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=No Scales=No Mid
Pretty ok "get off me" tool. Can't be followed up with anything but 236X/236S comfortably. Doesn't start IPS or scaling, can be used in Ora extensions.

2C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	2	20	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Knockdown	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=No Scales=No Low
Allows you to get Star Finger oki on characters like Avdol or Vanilla Ice. Risky to throw out. Can be combo'd into from j.C. Used mainly as a Timestop setup tool with stand crash knockdown.

6B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	5	11	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-1	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=Yes Scales=Yes Low
Your main Stand Off hitconfirm. Incredibly good poke, can combo into 214AA, 236S, 214B, even 214C. One of Jotaro's best buttons.

6C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	3	22	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-5	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=No Scales=No Low

Stand On

s.5A

Extremely safe jab

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
2	2	2	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+1	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=No Scales=Yes Mid
Star Platinum jabs extremely fast. Good range but can be ducked under by most if not all characters with Stand Off. Incredibly strong normal, one of the fastest and most rewarding in the game. Leads to stand crash combos that deal massive damage and grant oki. Doesn't start IPS

s.5B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	4	11	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=No Scales=Yes Mid
One of the best normals in the game. Can combo into s.214B practically all the time. Can link into s.5A with walk cancel

s.5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	2	15	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	{{{block}}}	-	None	IPS=No Scales=Yes Mid
Slow to come out but covers long range. Cannot be cancelled.

s.cl.5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	2	25	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+5	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU	IPS=No Scales=Yes Mid
Proximity normal. Incredibly plus. Can combo into d.s.5A, s.623X, and even 2A (not practical). Can be used after a launcher Stand Crash and can be followed up with s.214AA.

s.2A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	3	9	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
0	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU	IPS=No Scales=Yes Mid
Combos into s.5B, allowing it to be quite a functioning spacing tool against smaller characters.

s.2B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
6	2	16	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-3	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU	IPS=No Scales=Yes Low
Similar to s.2A. Comes out slower for more damage.

s.2C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	6	18	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launch	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU	IPS=No Scales=Yes Mid
Quite a useful anti air, with a surprisingly functional grounded hitbox for pokes. Starts potent tech chase.

s.2C (Chain ender)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
16	5	26	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Knockdown	{{{block}}}	-	None	IPS=No Scales=No Low
Causes knockdown, used to end autocombos like s.2ABAB s.2C

s.j.A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
2	2	Until you land	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	{{{block}}}	-	None	IPS=No Scales=Yes High
Your fastest aerial move. Solid IOH. Can be used as a panic option with S+7A

s.j.B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	2	Until you land	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	{{{block}}}	-	None	IPS=No Scales=Yes High
Same as s.j.A but comes out slower while doing more damage. Your go to jump-in.

s.j.C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	4	Until you land	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	{{{block}}}	-	None	IPS=No Scales=Yes High
Does high damage and works very well as an air-to-air + tech chase tool. If the opponent blocks this in the air and above you, you get to s.5A Air UB them into more tech chase.

Dashing normals

Stand Off

d.5A

5A but slides.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
2	4	5	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=Yes Scales=Yes
Dashing version of 5A. Comes out much faster than 5A and has a long lasting hitbox. Incredibly strong preemptive poke, and if it hits later in its recovery, it can be converted into 5A/2A. If hit point blank, you're better off going with universal options like s.5A and 236S.

Stand On

d.s.5A

You unlock the TF2 achievement BarbeQueQ if you use this against C ranks.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
2	3	13	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU, TA	IPS=Yes Scales=Yes
Similar to s.5A but on the move, useful as a poke, punish, and anti air. Starts IPS but deals more stand damage.

Specials

Stand Off

236A

Should've been the version that's the fastest and weakest. It only managed to inherit one of those things.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
15	33	61	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+33	{{{block}}}	-	None	IPS=No Scales=No
Depending on the button used, Star Platinum travels a longer distance and takes longer to start attacking. This is arguably the worst version of Jotaro's 236.

Stand On

s.236A (Air OK)

I'm pretty decent at Jotaro. I just need to learn to do the rush attack.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	11	18	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launch	{{{block}}}	-	s.214X	IPS=No Scales=No
Barrage except in Stand On. No reason to use over the other options. Can be cancelled into s.214X at any time. Does big boy Stand Gauge damage.

Supers

Stand Off

236AA

The 4 hour Jotaro main's favourite move.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	11	18	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+185	{{{block}}}	-	None	IPS=No Scales=Yes
Can be combo'd into from d.2B xx 236AA 6B, where 6B hits after superflash, but before 236AA. Resets IPS. Only use as combo fodder.

Stand On

s.236AA (Air OK)

"You know what, fuck it"

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	11	18	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launch	{{{block}}}	-	s.214X	IPS=No Scales=No
Can be combo'd into from s.5B on most characters. Only use in combo's, or if it kills from s.5A s.5A s.5B. Can stuff Guard Cancel, depends on when the opponent does it.
