+3 -1 -2 SP, SU, TA, IPS=No Scales=Yes

HFTF DIO s.2B.png
Much better than s.2B

Great mix-up tool
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
4 2 (until landing) 4 High
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
+14 (-13 on IOH) +10 (-12 on IOH) +7 (-20 on IOH) SP, SU IPS=NO Scales=Yes
  • This normal will be the one you will be using for your 2a/S+9A s.j.236X mix-up for Stand Crashes

s.j.B
HFTF DIO s.j.B.png
Your best air-to-air
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
5 5 (until landing) 9 High
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
+14 (-12 on IOH) +10 (-11 on ioh) +7 (-19 on IOH) SP, SU IPS=NO Scales=Yes
  • This move is a great air-to-air, and can even be used as an anti-air if done instantly out of a jump
  • It is a great balance of s.j.A's speed and s.j.C's range, with the added bonus of many active frames and vertical range
  • Not your greatest jump in option as it is aimed towards enemies directly infront of you, 45° above, and directly above you
  • Most consistent normal for air muda loops


s.j.C
HFTF DIO s.j.C.png
Deceptive range
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
7 1 (until landing) 11 High
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
+14 (-10 on IOH) +10 (-10 on ioh) +7 (-17 on IOH) SP, SU IPS=NO Scales=Yes
  • This is your slowest, but most damaging Stand ON air normal
  • Can be used as an air-to-air from afar/early enough
  • Has a ton of range and disjoint, so if spaced correctly it has very great priority, making it a very annoying poke even against grounded characters
  • Slow, making it hard to effectively use as an air-to-air, and it has a single active frame which doesn't help a lot either
  • Links from s.5A for a more consistent air muda loop follow-up, however it is a 2f link, making it not as popular as s.j.B

+2 +2 - None, 214S and s.214x with install IPS=No Scales=No
  • Important part of DIO's neutral, anti-air and pressure game
  • Useful in a variety of situations
  • Good for anti-airing, as it is air unblockable, and super fast, also combos from Stand OFF anti-airs
  • Has some invincibility during it's recovery causing it to sometimes ghost through the opponent's attacks afterwards
  • Great reversal and defensive tool to get opponents to stop pressuring you


214x

  • Active period between first and last active frame is 90
  • Used to meaty rolls into a mix-up in certain match-ups

  • Useful for forcing scrambles and tricky cross-ups your opponent may struggle to block due to you clipping into them and being pushed out afterwards.
  • Can be meatied and mixed up, however you can throw out fast or invincible moves after it to beat failed meaties and grabs, like Bloody Summoning, 214S, 2A or 236S
  • Useful as a reversal or way to make moves safe like 663C, and can be used to escape mix-ups and tandem unblockables

Wallbounce launch -5 -15 None IPS=No Scales=No

techable launch -13 - s.214x IPS=No Scales=Yes
  • Can be used to keep out opponents from a distance, which it is very good at, especially the air version due to how much safer it is
  • Cancels into s.214X for a frametrap which some characters have trouble dealing with
  • Can be punished on hit, similarly to DIO's guard cancel, though this is much harder to do, and react to
  • Can be mashed to extend it, travels similarly to 236x depending on which A B or C version you use.
  • Can be extended by mashing, which can catch attempts at stealing turns upon recovery
  • If the first hit makes contact, it will repeat the same hitbox 3 times, if the first hit whiffs usually when low profiled , it will not knock down, though you cannot do anything off of it.
  • Air version adds on some extra damage from spaced jump-in s.j.C or air-to-airs, and can be used as an air-to-air on its own

Super Moves

Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
Travel time dependent N/A None Dependent on Input N/A
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
Dependent on Input Dependent on Input - S to turn off after Stand reaches opponent IPS=Reset Scales=Dependent on Input
  • In the category of the 2nd best super in the game (Tandem), and in the top 3 best of that category, only rivaled by Vanilla Ice and Jotaro
  • Has wicked amounts of invincibility on activation, even more if held, and releasing it gives you a burst of invincibility as well
  • 80F superflash, during which you are able to input Stand On Chains, Specials and Supers.
  • Very accessible to combo into
  • Great for whiff-punishing through means of Invincibility
  • Optimal inputs would be {ABC*n}, for crouchers you would do {4ABC*n}. For the characters who crouch under s.5A, either {2A*n}, {2A2B*n} {2A2A, 4ABC*n}, or {4ABC*n} 663A is used
  • Can be punished by moves with awkward pushboxes like Hol Horse 236AA, Shadow Dio 3C and 214AA, hitting the Stand as it is traveling towards the opponent or aerial moves that beat the tandem once it starts attacking.
  • Alternatively it can be evaded by rolls, Tandems, and other supers

Mediocre but funny
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard

Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
hitgrab - - None IPS=No Scales=No
  • Contrary to popular belief, this super is not horrible. It is merely outshined by both S.ON Knives, and Tandem
  • Can be done both Stand On and Stand Off, and is identical
  • Has a lot of invulnerability, a lot of active frames, and starts up before the Super Flash, therefore it is nearly unreactable
  • Grants Okizeme by doing 66 (S if Stand On) 236C meaty into j.A or 2A if the opponent's wakeup is slow, although it is tight.
  • Has an install associated with it. If the Move whiffs, the first hit of S.J.236X will have the hitgrab properties of this super if done near the ground, including the antimation which will be airborne


214AA/Road Roller
Even worse super, hilarious when it does hit
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard

Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties

  • Punishable on hit by faster wake-ups in corner by a full combo

One of the BEST supers in the game
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
? ? ? 3 per knife Mid
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
Grounded hitstop followed by launch ? - None IPS=No Scales=No
  • Top 5 Super in the game
  • Great startup and invincibility, can punish any move that leaves your opponent unable to block with their Stand out
  • Makes most passive Stands in particular shiver
  • Do NOT overuse this, as that is a very common beginner-midlevel mistake
  • Deals great chip, can bait out rolls
  • Can be easily beaten on reaction by invincible supers if close enough. Some examples are: Active/Weapon Stand 214S(optimal), DIO S.236AA, Black Polnareff 236AA, Khan 214AA
  • Can be comboed into itself for an unscaled combo. Very much worth doing as well, as it does great damage. Do NOT do normal moves in between them as that will scale the combo and ruin your damage

Devo's curse
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
? ? ? 3 per knife Mid
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
Grounded hitstop followed by launch ? - None IPS=No Scales=No
  • Almost the same as the grounded version, but much faster
  • Can punish even better than the grounded version, as it can be done as a Tiger Knee motion (s.2369AA, or even s.9236AA) in order to reach it's target faster
  • Can be punished by Guard Cancels on block, certain supers before it comes out, and even Kakyoin's nets
  • Leading cause of zoner underwear skidmarks and almost singlehandedly the reason Devo loses to DIO.
  • Can be inconsistent in certain Stand ON match-ups like Avdol, as he will only get hit by 2-5 knives in Stand On
