User:Captaintenshou/Introduction

Vanilla Ice (ヴァニラ・アイス Vanira Aisu) is an antagonist featured in Stardust Crusaders. He is the last Vampire created by DIO and one of the penultimate Stand Users the Joestar Group faces upon infiltrating DIO's Mansion. After the group is split up, he is sent to take out the team consisting of Avdol, Polnareff, and Iggy. Vanilla Ice is a Stand User controlling his void-based ability, Cream, to battle.

He relies a good bit on the player knowing just the right position for themselves in order to get the most out of their kit

Pros	Cons
Easy to pick up Fast dash speed, has an air dash in stand on, overall great maneuverability compared to the rest of the cast minus petshop 100% has the best okizeme in the game His moveset is in the top 3 best movesets in the game His more optimal combos aren't ballbustingly hard Meter is almost never a problem for Ice, he builds a shit ton His air dash can come out within frame one of jumping. Meaning IADs. Has his own unique mechanic when he turns his stand off in midair (slurpdrop babyyyy!!) Grab that is (practically?) unpunishable, and also puts you at advantage Has flashy combos if he gets the opportunity to use them	Stand Off Guard Cancel can be beaten outright if not buffered beforehand, and buffered would be pretty risky against fast/multi-hit moves Stand On Guard Cancel is absolutely terrible outside of escaping tandems Getting in and breaking defenses can be hard for him
