JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future/Iggy/Introduction

Iggy (イギー Igī) also known as Iggi, is a core ally who appears in the second half of Stardust Crusaders. An urban mutt from the streets of New York, Iggy begrudgingly aids the protagonists on their final expedition to Cairo. Iggy commands The Fool, a really bizarre looking Stand made of sand that can partially change its shape, allowing it to even mimic humans.

In Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage For The Future, Iggy is a very odd character, using charge style special attacks and featuring different gimmicks depending on whether his Stand is On or Off.

In Stand Off, he's the shortest character in the game which gives him a lot of advantages, but also limits his movelist, most notably making his simple attacks really hard to connect due to short range. In return, once Iggy manages to knock down the opponent, his moveset contains an easy to time meaty low attack, a decent overhead and a fantastic grab, giving him some good reset options.

In Stand On, Iggy's hitbox becomes larger and wider, which comes with many disadvantages, but Iggy himself gains some new mobility options, exclusive only to his character. Instead of a double jump, Iggy can glide in the air while protecting himself with sand balls. He also gains the ability to perform a simple airdash. His normals also become much better when it comes to range.

Overall, Iggy is a very versatile character, but none of his modes truly give him a massive advantage, meaning that you'll be switching your playstyle a lot while using him.


Pros	Cons
The shortest hurtbox in Stand Off in the game which leads to a lot of moves missing him in stand off Fastest walk speed in the game in Stand Off, resulting in deceptive throw range given his size Has a lot of movement options, including teleports and Stand On glide/air dash Simple combos that still do decent damage Decent to very strong oki depending on the character can easily switch to offence or defensive playdstyle when he needs to Glider gives him fast overheads, great projectile in sandballs and very good oki on most of the cast Some of the best turtling in the game thanks to sandballs, ioh, his pokes and stand off hurtbox	Has a hard time approaching some opponents Extremely wide Stand On hitbox gives opponents easier cross-ups Many normals have a long recovery Small combo potential, even including tandems Grabs are harder to use due to charge motion specials interrupting them His Stand On and Stand Off grab oki can be escaped by a frame 1 reversal depending on the move and people holding up when waking up can escape some of his options A BnB that is punishable on hit
