JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future/Shadow Dio/Introduction: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:58, 5 January 2022

Shadow Dio is an alternative version of DIO from before the final showdown in Cairo. He is one of the six hidden characters in the game.

Shadow Dio, unlike the regular version of DIO, is a Passive Stand character which relies heavily on his fast movement. He is a rushdown focused character with massive damage output and simple combos, however, his main weakness is the lack of defensive options. Shadow Dio is considered to be one of the biggest glass cannons in the game.


Pros	Cons
High damage, simple combos, making him very easy to pick up and play. Great Okizeme with a lot of options available, such as empty jump low, empty jump grab and a fake crossup all leading into another Oki situation. A great set of amazing pokes, projectiles and anti-airs, can be difficult to approach if used to their full potential. Very rewarding grab that leads into situations listed above. Deceptively short jumping hurtbox can make a lot of anti-airs whiff, especially paired with J.S which pulls your hurtbox even higher. Great, very active Guard Cancel that also lets you net additional damage after, and is safe/plus on block.	Passive Stand User. Slowest Roll in the Game. From most ranges, his pokes don't have as much reward and can often be outweighed in risk/reward if the opponent makes a good read. Despite the grab being as great, it's not completely consistent across the board in terms of the Oki it provides, as some characters wake up too fast, forcing you to adapt a simpler mixup. Gets his standing hurtbox when hit, making him take bigger damage than other characters would while crouching.
