Heritage for the Future ★ Vanilla Ice
Vanilla Ice or Iced in the English localization, appears as a playable character and boss in the Capcom games. He was part of JoJo’s Venture as a boss in Story Mode and later made fully playable in Heritage for the Future.
Vanilla Ice is a simple to learn and master character, considered one of the best in the game. He makes use of incredible normals, high damage, great mobility and crazy combo potential.
Boss Form
Vanilla Ice's Boss Form is the unplayable version of the character encountered in Story Mode, with a different moveset and sprite-work. This boss uses a simpler moveset, with increased damage on his specials.
In Heritage for the Future, he can be fought when you reach the second to last opponent in Challenge Mode.
When characters other than the Joestar Group fight him (such as fellow villains), the spiraling grooves from his attacks are not present on the stage.

Gameplay
This version of Vanilla Ice is significantly stronger and uses a simpler moveset.
Vanilla Ice primarily attacks using Cream to travel the screen in a few directions vertically and diagonally, these attacks track the player’s position and must be evaded in-time.
This boss has two supers. In the first one, Cream begins to circle around the stage and close in on the center. In the second super, Cream will move erratically on whichever side of the screen the player is on. These supers are unblockable and deal heavy damage.
This form of the character has a few quirks, he can’t crouch, he has the longest reaching dash and only a few normals. Almost none of it carries over to the playable version.
