—DIO's Stand Cry

DIO (DIO(ディオ)) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the announcement trailer,[1] although briefly. He is one of the four characters playable in the game's Early Access Demo alongside Jonathan Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, and Jolyne Cujoh. He is now part of the game's current demo alongside Joseph Joestar, Jotaro, Jolyne and Yoshikage Kira.

His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, although a few tweaks have been made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.

As DIO's voice actor since All-Star Battle who also went on to voice him in the Stardust Crusaders anime, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role in this game. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for DIO were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay

DIO has 840 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with The World. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Stardust Crusaders.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand Off] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Stand On/Off
ASBS.png ON GROUND
DIO can summon or dismiss The World, altering his available abilities.
Time, stop!
ASBDPad2.pngx2 + ASBS.png ON GROUND (requires 1.5 stocks of HH)
If DIO has a minimum of one and a half stocks of the Heart Heat Gauge, he can use his signature Stand ability "Time, stop!". If the full activation animation plays uninterrupted, DIO will stop time for 3.4 ~ 6.9 seconds depending on how much of the HHG he has. All animations, including the HHG flame and the countdown on the battle timer, will temporarily cease, and the opponent is frozen in place and completely unable to act. Damage dealt to the opponent that is not a Throw, "I'll give you one chance", "Oh, this suits me well!", HHA, or GHA is reduced, but the opponent is otherwise absolutely vulnerable. When the ability ends and time resumes, the opponent will suffer all damage dealt to them at once.
Any knives thrown using "And one more just in case!" or DIO's HHA hang in the air, notably doing more damage if they hit the opponent after time resumes than if they were to have connected immediately. He may use his HHA or GHA with impunity if he has enough of the HHG left to do so. DIO is even capable of hitting opponents that were down when the ability was activated, 'resetting' them into a standing position once hit. The ability is best used with normal attacks in mind in order to deal the most damage within the stopped time, as they execute quickly and their damage reduction within stopped time is insubstantial.
If DIO's Throw, the attack variation of "I'll give you one chance", "Oh, this suits me well!", HHA, or GHA is used, time will immediately resume with the HHG drained to zero.
If fighting against Jotaro or himself, DIO can use this ability to move within the other fighter's stopped time, and may even outlast his opponent if their HHG runs out first.
An absolute end
ASBDPad2.pngx2 + ASBH.png (Stand Off only) ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
DIO pulls out a sign and brings it down on them. Assuming the opponent gets up in time, this skill is still a middle attack that must be blocked standing.
So close!
(When hit) ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBH.png (requires 2 stocks of HH) ON GROUND
A combo-breaking skill that can only be used once DIO is hit by any non-Throw/HHA/GHA, or any attack that does not down or send him flying upon the first hit. DIO instantly stops time to escape, suddenly reappearing to the side of where he previously was in relation to the opponent (similar in effect to a Stylish Evade). Its activation consumes two stocks of the Heart Heat Gauge and 35% of the Guard Gauge in return for completely breaking out of an opponent's attack or combo, and functions in the exact same manner as Diavolo's "Such futility!" counter.
Now THIS is the greatest high!
Hit opponent with the "Oh, this suits me well!" skill
An automatic additional effect which is only activated against members of the original Joestar bloodline (Jonathan Joestar, Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Old Joseph Joestar, Josuke Higashikata, Giorno Giovanna, and Jolyne Cujoh). One activated, Vampiric skill hits will increase the amount at which the HH Gauge is charged. Can only be performed once per round.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates below 30% health
DIO's attack power and HH Gauge charge rate increases, and the rate at which the Guard Guage drops decreases.
Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
"Right in front of me?!"
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Using its ability, The World suddenly appears at certain distances and delivers a melee strike. The resulting attack is dependent on the attack button inputted.
  • Light (ASBL.png) - The World delivers an uppercut in front of DIO, knocking the opponent off their feet. This doubles as an anti-air attack. (Flash Cancel comboable)
  • Medium (ASBM.png) - The World appears a distance forward and delivers a downwards punch, knocking the opponent straight to the ground to down them.
  • Heavy (ASBH.png) - The World appears a distance forward, close to the ground, and delivers a low punch, knocking the opponent off their feet. This version of the attack is a low attack that must be blocked crouching. (Flash Cancel comboable)

If "Time, stop!" is active, The World does not flash forward and instead flies into position before attacking.

I'll give you one chance
ASBDPad2.pngx2 + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
DIO swaggers toward the opponent before stopping to pose. If hit by a non-Throw/HHA/GHA attack during this walk, the "He's... gone!" special will automatically trigger. The distance and duration of DIO's walk depends on the input, with ASBL.png being the longest.
"He's... gone!"

When triggered by I'll give you one chance, DIO teleports to the other side of the opponent before delivering a strike, launching them upwards.
Oh, this suits me well!
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png (rapidly tap to drain more health) ON GROUND
Unblockable command throw. DIO swings at the opponent open-handed, with the distance depending on the input. If he connects, he'll knock them to the ground, plunge his fingers into them, and drain their blood, stealing a moderate amount of health for himself.
This is the greatest 'high'!
Passive effect after "Oh, this suits me well!" ON GROUND
If "Oh, this suits me well!" is performed on any member of the Joestar lineage from the original timeline: Jonathan, Joseph, Jotaro, Josuke 4, Giorno, or Jolyne, DIO will jab his finger into his head and twist it as he laughs maniacally, automatically granting him half a bar of his HHG. This ability can only occur once the entire match.
And one more just in case!
ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Special-cancelable. DIO summons The World to quickly throw a knife straight forward. The attack button inputted determines the speed of the knife.

Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
The World rushes forward with a barrage of punches, advancing on the opponent and knocking them back. The attack button inputted determines the distance the Stand travels. This ability can initiate Rush Mode. (Flash Cancel comboable)
My Stand's full power!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png IN AIR OK
While in midair, The World rapidly punches downward, finishing with an upward kick that sends the opponent high into the air. The first punch is a middle attack that must be blocked standing. A Stand Rush skill that DIO can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing.
This is...The World!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
After a brief delay, The World delivers an unblockable, potent punch that deals high knockback.
  • Medium (ASBM.png) - DIO and his Stand reappear a short distance forward by stopping time before delivering the attack.
  • Heavy (ASBH.png) - DIO and his Stand reappear a larger distance forward by stopping time before delivering the attack.

If "Time, stop!" is active, neither DIO nor The World move forward and instead deliver the attack from a stationary position.

Throw (投げ技)
What just happened?
2 ATK buttons at close range or ASBT.png ON GROUND
The World picks the opponent up by the neck and briefly stops time. When time resumes, the opponent has been punched through the abdomen and is sent flying.
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
Scared, are we?
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
DIO tauntingly points out how pale his opponent has gotten and performs a roundhouse kick sliding forward. If the kick connects, the opponent is sent flying into the air as DIO stops time and throws 48 knives that surround them at most angles, before resuming time and letting them get skewered.
If "Time, stop!" is active, the HHA will change to simply DIO and The World both launching a multitude of knives in a fanning wave, but deal less damage. If quick enough, the HHA can be performed twice during stopped time if DIO's Heart Heat Gauge has three stocks, ultimately dealing more damage than the HHA's original version, but only if the knives strike after time resumes instead of immediately due to the damage reduction effect of stopped time.
This HHA bears similarity to Shadow DIO's "Checkmate" super from the Capcom game.
This is a road roller!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 3 ATK Buttons, or ASBG.png ON GROUND
DIO confidently sends The World out to attack with a heavy punch. If the Stand successfully strikes the victim, DIO will stop time, jump high into the air and off-screen, and bring the infamous road roller down on his victim. He then elbows the vehicle repeatedly, heavily denting it in the process, before jumping off and resuming time, thus allowing the damaged vehicle to explode while it is still crushing his opponent. If the same move is done against Jotaro, he summons Star Platinum to try to punch the roller away.
If Jotaro specifically inputs his "I stopped time..." ability over the course of the GHA, a special animation will play where DIO is blindsided by Jotaro stopping time and reappearing behind him, before the two clash and break away from each other. While this doesn't negate the full damage of the whole attack, it does negate the damage of the road roller's explosion, making the GHA deal less than half of its total damage. DIO and Jotaro are also left at opposite ends of the arena, rather than DIO holding the advantageous position of his opponent being left downed and close to him after the attack.
Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト, Asaruto Ashisuto)
ON GROUND
A two-stock assist. DIO appears and summons The World to deliver a potent unblockable body blow, stopping time and reappearing a distance forward.
Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト, Ribāsaru Ashisuto)
ON GROUND
DIO flies in, striking the opponent back with The World's fist before taunting and disappearing again with a snap of his fingers.

Moveset Changes from All-Star Battle

Specials (特殊技)
Time, stop!

  • This special now executes drastically slower, giving DIO's opponent more time to interrupt him and making it more difficult to successfully stop time.
An absolute end

  • This command normal can now be performed regardless if the opponent is down or not.
  • Rather than delivering a hard knockdown against a standing opponent, the attack now knocks them off their feet in a launching attack.
Skills (コマンド技)
"Right in front of me?!"
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
  • The input for this skill has been changed, replacing the input for "He's... gone!".
  • The Medium input (ASBM.png) now delivers a soft knockdown instead of a hard knockdown, allowing the opponent to Down Evade.
I'll give you one chance
ASBDPad2.pngx2 + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
  • The input for this skill has been changed, simplifying the execution required to perform it.
  • The move is now simply a moving counter, automatically triggering "He's... gone!" upon being struck by a non-Throw/HHA/GHA attack. This change also keeps this Medium version (ASBM.png) of this skill from becoming redundant with the new universal Stylish Guard mechanic.
  • The duration and travel distance of the attack is now affected by the attack button inputted in descending order, with Heavy (ASBH.png) input allowing DIO to act near-instantly.
  • DIO can now fully act again the moment he stops to pose, greatly reducing this skill's recovery period.
"He's... gone!"

  • This skill is no longer a manual input, and now only activates automatically when "I'll give you one chance" is triggered.
  • DIO now teleports to the opponent's other side before delivering the strike.
  • The attack now launches the opponent upwards, allowing DIO the ability to begin a combo from it.
Oh, this suits me well!
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
  • The input for this skill has been changed, and the attack is now an unblockable command throw.
  • The distance DIO shifts forward is now determined by the attack button inputted.
And one more just in case!

  • This skill is now special-cancelable, allowing DIO to chain into other skills. This also includes into itself, granting the ability to continuously throw knives at a rapid rate.
MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!

  • The attack now knocks the opponent off their feet instead of delivering a hard knockdown.
My Stand's full power!

  • The attack now launches the opponent higher.
This is... The World!

  • All versions of this skill are unblockable, which now includes the Light version (ASBL.png).
  • The attack no longer sends the opponent flying into the stage wall, now only dealing high knockback.

  • I'm satisfied enough. Now there's no need to play with your toys anymore!
  • Relax. No need to be scared sick.
  • Foolish human! I will rule over you! Bow before my might and intelligence!
  • I promise I'll suck all the blood out of you!
  • A trickster, are you?
  • Heh... I'll give you some credit.
  • Too slow!
  • Let me test you out a little more...
  • That's all?
  • Time to end this, now.
  • I think I like you.
  • What's wrong? You're trembling.
  • Useless, useless!
  • You'll just have to die.

  • Hah! Checkmate! You've walked right into my trap!
  • You could serve me forever, hm? I can offer you an eternal security.
  • I, DIO, possess none of that! All I have is one simple principle... Just one! Win, and seize control! That's it! That alone is my satisfaction!
  • Wanting only a content, quiet life? What nonsense from life forms no better than dung!
  • Oh, what rapture! Soon I'll be able to stop time for one, ten, even sixty minutes...
  • Methods? Means? Irrelevant!
  • Jonathan's body... Don't you think the Joestar blood goes most perfectly with it?
  • Good thing I was able to kill you early!
  • Nothing but sapless scum now! Hehehehe!
  • I still feel the power...
  • Oh, this feels goo-oo-ood!

  • I must eliminate Jonathan's bloodline for once and for all...

  • Go down two steps. I'll let you join me again. But if you want to die... step upward.
  • My left side is weak... This body still isn't fully used to me.
  • This is The World. Not that you can see or feel it. Time has stopped for you.

  • To stand on top of the world is to know no fear!
  • Now THIS is the greatest high! AHA HA HA HA HA!
  • Relax. No need to be scared sick.
  • The sidewalk is wide enough, yes?

Special Interactions

  • After taking a Joestar's blood, DIO will re-enact his "Now THIS is the greatest high!" moment from Stardust Crusaders.
  • When DIO attacks Jotaro Kujo with his Great Heat Attack, Jotaro initially holds the vehicle back with punches from Star Platinum.
    • If Jotaro decides to activate his timestop during this GHA, this interaction is extended:
      After Jotaro is eventually 'crushed', DIO celebrates his victory momentarily, before himself being trapped in a timestop, unable to move. Jotaro is then revealed to be standing behind DIO, claiming he stopped time and escaped. This interaction is reminiscent of Chapters 263 & 264. However, rather than Jotaro succesfully kicking DIO away like is done in the original story, DIO is instead able to free himself, causing The World and Star Platinum to clash fists before both Users are blown away.

Dialogue

Outside of the All-Star Battle Mode, DIO has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.

    Don't make yourself sick with fear. Don't worry. Let go, Kakyoin.
    —DIO
  • This sense I feel... I am in the light. The white of courage; of justice!
    You only have one option: Die, Polnareff!
    —DIO
  • The Emperor's forte is close-quarters assassination! We got 'em now!
    Are you really trying to shoot me?
    —DIO
  • DIO... so YOU'RE the one behind this!
    Iggy
    So the dog is a Stand User... Then I can't just let you be now, can I?
    —DIO
  • Come, Mariah. I will test you.
    —DIO
    I'm honoured to be able to spar with you like this, Lord DIO!
  • I can feel how bloodthirsty you are... Heh heh heh. I know I'll be able to count on you, Pet Shop.
    —DIO
    Kreeeeeee!
  • Ice... I wish to test The World's powers. Be my guinea pig!
    —DIO
    As you wish, Lord DIO.
  • I think life is about overcoming your fear.
    —DIO (Player 1)
    Standing on top of the world means having not an ounce of fear!
    —DIO (Player 2)
  • Guess we still aren't square yet, DIO...
    Jotaro... You've certainly gotten old.
    —DIO
  • Who're you...? You seem close to me... but far away as well.
    —DIO
    I feel like I've been... waiting for this moment.
  • Your White Snake can turn souls into objects and store them... Why don't you try to do the same to me, then?
    —DIO
    I never thought that for a moment.
  • If you made my The World into a disc and stole it, you would rule the world. Just try it!
    —DIO
    How far will you reach? I want to join you.
Quote.png Victory
  • My friend... This body will continue to serve me in the future!
    —DIO
    Dio... This will be the end for good...
  • Speed... wagon? Huh?
    —DIO
    I won?! I... beat Dio?!
  • Vaporizing Freeze... Ahh, what memories!
    —DIO
    Your Stand was surprising at first, but now I know it's nothing to fear!
  • Star Platinum has finally perished in the face of The World!
    —DIO
    Been waiting to pay you back for a long time now, DIO!
  • Ripple gave me trouble before, but it's no match for The World!
    —DIO
    What's the matter? Didn't you say something about sucking me dry?
  • I want you to use your Stand for my own ends. Lend me your powers... Ha ha ha!
    —DIO
    I won? Now that's what I call luck!
  • There is nothing to be afraid of. Let us band together!
    —DIO
    I'll never return to the pathetic Kakyoin I used to be!
  • Once I kill you, I suppose that'll be the end of the Joestar Egyptian Tour, eh?
    —DIO
    That was scarier than death! Imagine, living only to serve the likes of you...
  • What to do now? Perhaps I'll kill some time by turning you into a zombie!
    —DIO
    Now we know who the REAL emperor is!
    Iggy
  • I like you. You never sweated, never lost your rhythm. You are as cool as ice, Hol Horse.
    —DIO
    I stick by the strongest I find. That's it! i never swore loyalty to the likes of you!
  • The magnetism is wearing off... What's wrong? Finished already?
    —DIO
    I'll crush the Joestars with this power of mine!
  • You'll attack anyone... That's why I knew you were fit to be my gatekeeper.
    —DIO
    Grgah!
  • You needn't die here... My blood will resurrect you.
    —DIO
    Everything I do, I do for you, Lord DIO...
  • Now I've proven that nobody can surpass DIO!
    —DIO (Player 1)
    Heh heh heh...! I have conquered even the terror that is myself!
    —DIO (Player 2)
  • Hmph... Those dull movements of yours already look like they're frozen in time!
    —DIO
    You're all paid up... for real this time.
  • You... I like you.
    —DIO
    I'll use the power I inherited from you for my own dreams!
  • You'll become a very noble clergyman.
    —DIO
    I love people who can push me to new heights.
  • I never thought I'd meet a man who would calm me like this. I was scared to see you go...
    —DIO
    I love you as I love God himself.
