Fast, safe jab. Primarily used in combos and as a close-range poke. Because it doesn't hit as high as other characters' jabs, trying to use it as an emergency anti-air can be awkward, but possible. Really good move, but you have better options. Additional Info Invulnerability Cancel Triggers IPS Triggers scaling Meter on whiff Meter on hit None SP, SU, TA Yes yes 0 4

Sweep with respectable range. Has a lot of recovery and enlarges your hurtbox, so it's quite dangerous to whiff. Using it to end combos lets you set up your best oki against characters with fast wakeups such as Avdol or Vanilla Ice .

Contender for one of the best normals in the game. Extremely fast, strong hitbox in spite of being susceptible to low profile, and the reward on hit can range from a knockdown into 50/50 to near ToD combos. The lightning-fast startup lends itself to great uses both in offense and defense. Truly a jab befitting Star Platinum.

Not useful. Slow to come out and quite disadvantageous even on hit so it's likely to get punished unless it kills. If an overhead is desperately needed, just use an IOH s.j.A instead since it's much faster.

Excellent all-around air button. Extremely fast and hits from surprisingly far away, so it's great in nearly any aerial interaction except techchasing, where s.j.C is better.

Star Platinum moves its arm behind Jotaro and after a short charge, attacks the opponent with an extended finger while dragging them towards itself. This version of Star Finger while not being the best meaty Jotaro has, works best as a follow-up during Jotaro's okizeme. After a brief charge, Jotaro can freely move while this attack is performed. Safe on block 50/50 tool, only punishable by either a Guard Cancel or a well timed pushblock (which you can try and back away from). After a very long while, this attack becomes unblockable, though you'll never land it in a real game because it just takes too long. If you use the A version, Star Platinum takes 1 less frame to disappear than the other 2 versions.

Depending on the button pressed, Star Platinum will cover a longer distance, but the move will also come out slower. This special is the ideal combo ender in Stand On for Jotaro and allows him to either launch or cause hard knockdown. There are three types of follow-ups which you can perform. Note that when done fast enough, you can actually skip the animation of the first attack and instantly perform the follow-up. S214A/B are very good for stand crashing on block (stand crush?), they're fast, relatively safe and do chunks of damage to the stand gauge. Do it on people respecting you too much with their stand out! A Link - Star Platinum does a low kick that causes hard knockdown. Your primary combo ender. Note that it can be punished by some faster attacks. Also, it does no Stand Gauge damage and won't work against characters with Stand On, so make sure you caused a Stand Crash before using it. B Link - Star Platinum delivers a powerful elbow strike that launches the opponent. Your safest combo ender. Can be useful during blockstrings as it can lead to a Stand Crush. C Link - Star Platinum performs an insanely fast smash that causes the opponent to either instantly hit the ground or to fly into the wall. Very risky as it is very punishable on block and does the least damage. While it provides hard knockdown in some situations, it's much worse than the A variation. Unlike the A version, it turns off the opponent's Stand once it connects. The only good thing about this follow up is that when it's done from the A version of s.214X, it will cover a very long distance. It also comes out faster than the rest of the follow-ups. The wallbounce from the C ender leads to a ghetto 50/50 with s.662a (low) and forward hop s.j.b (high), hard to see coming and great for closing rounds. s.214X has a bonus follow-up with 623+A/B/C Star Finger but only when starting the string from s.214+A. This is mostly useful for frame traps as Star Finger will most likely not combo after any follow-up, except for s.214+A>214+C>623+A/B/C in the corner (combo must be short enough or 214+C will cause hard knockdown).

Unlike the Stand Off version, Jotaro cannot move while performing this move. While not as useful as the Stand Off version, it can be still used as a combo extension after s.5C (close) and s.d.5C. After this move connects, you can combo with s.5A, although it's quite risky due to IPS. After a very long while, this attack becomes unblockable, though you'll never land it in a real game because it just takes too long. Gimmicky, extremely unsafe on whiff move that's punishable by most of the cast after a well timed pushblock. Has a tendency to trade, even from behind.

This super comes out quick and is very useful as a hitconfirm for some easy damage. Not the most optimal combo ender but it does its job well when you're out of options. This super does not have many invincibility frames, which does not make it a good reversal. This attack can be held to increase its duration while Jotaro can freely move around and attack the opponent. While charging this move, you can tap S to instantly cancel this attack. It can be used to bait the opponent into rolling. This move always causes a Stand Crash once it connects. Although the stand on variant is incredibly strong, the stand off variant has plentiful use. It becomes a strong brute force poke, as it is still rewarding on air hit and block. You can confirm IOHs with the held variant, force AUBs, and even combo into knockdown from it on a Stand Crash. After a very long while, this attack becomes unblockable, though you'll never land it in a real game because it just takes too long.

Jotaro points with his finger and enters an 80 frames long 'Super Flash' during which you can input button combinations for your stand to execute. The S button can be held after the 80 frames freeze for additional time to input buttons but it lowers your stand bar meter fast and will release upon reaching zero. When released you will have a small period of invincibility (useful for evading attacks) and your stand will rush out and do the inputs you pressed during tandem 'Super Flash'. Your stand can do any Stand On normal you can do normally, as well as throw out Special Moves and Supers when in tandem. For Jotaro, your most common button combination to do in tandem is 5A>5B>5C any number of times (5 is recommended for most characters). After your tandem ends, you can continue your combo. When you input your combinations, remember that your stand cannot link its 5C attack into 5A, so you have to keep the enemy in hitstun and combo by hitting them in the middle of your stand attacks. You can also use the 5B>5B>2B string as it can combo on its own and will hit any crouching enemies. Alternatively, you can also try 2A>2B>2A>2B>2B. If you have a lot of meter to spend, try performing 236+AA multiple times during a tandem. It leads to some insane damage, though if your opponent is standing you will need to push them far away from the last hit so it doesn't launch them, losing some damge in the process. If the opponent is crouching you don't need to worry about pushing them away. Finally, the best way to end your tandem is with 623+A/B/C. Star Finger is very positive on hit and grants you pretty much any follow-up after the tandem ends.

This Super requires at least 3 stocks of super meter to be used. After a very long startup, Jotaro freezes the time, allowing him to freely bash his opponent with whatever attacks as long as his meter does not run out. Time Stop is mostly useless outside of proper Stand Crash combos due to its long startup animation which can be easily punished. It is mostly a stylish super that is only used to show one's skills at the game. If done center, it leads to massive damage, however, do note that all damage dealt during a time stop will be scaled down, therefore time stops done with small amounts of super meter will do smaller amounts of damage. When doing Time Stop, all damage done during frozen time is scaled down, though it does not really matter with Jotaro. S.236A(1) s.234A, 236+AA during time stop will lead to the highest damage while Jotaro's bashing the opponent. Just try to hit the opponent as many times as you can.

Star Platinum moves its arm back and charges up for a powerful flashy strike. This version of the super comes out slightly slower, meaning that it's impossible to combo into it from Jotaro's light and medium attacks in Stand On (unless they caused a Stand Crash), it can still comboed into from s.5c(close) and d.s.5c. It has FAR more invincibility frames and covers more range, turning it into one of the best long-range punish tools in the game. It can also be canceled with the S button to bait rolls/avoid a punish on block. This move always causes a Stand Crash once it connects. On Stand Crash against airborne opponents, most of the time it will not wallbounce and let you juggle them further.
