Capcom Games ★ 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.
Command List & Gameplay
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.
Story Mode
Vanilla Ice is DIO's most fervent follower, and after being resurrected by his hands, commits to eviscerating the Joestar Group. Vanilla Ice is typically the penultimate boss for most of the roster. This version of the character has a simpler moveset and deals far more damage.
In Super Story Mode on the PS1 version, Vanilla Ice is the 29th Stage and the battle mirrors the manga.
ICED: Excuse me... Please pardon my intrusion, Master. As you may have noticed, I've exterminated Joestar's party.
DIO: Excellent, Iced. I knew I could count on you.
ICED: I'm glad that I could fulfill your expectations.
Affected by the blood of DIO, Iced has become a vampire, loyal to DIO forever.(暗黒空間の軌跡 Ankoku Kūkan no Kiseki)
With both Avdol's flames and Iggy's nose on their side, Avdol is certain that nothing can sneak up on the group. Just then, a Stand appears behind Avdol out of thin air. Avdol pushes Polnareff and Iggy out of the Stand's way, but immediately vanishes. The Stand's user, Vanilla Ice, declares Avdol dead, as he has disappeared into his Stand Cream's void. Though Polnareff refuses to believe Avdol's death, Vanilla Ice declares his intent to scatter the entire group's atoms inside his void. After the fight, a weakened Polnareff sacrifices himself for a severely-wounded Iggy, only for the dog to use the last of his energy to save him instead. Polnareff stabs Vanilla Ice to death, but he immediately recovers; realizing his enemy is a vampire, Polnareff slices open a wall, exposing him to sunlight and disintegrating him. After briefly seeing Avdol and Iggy's souls ascending, Polnareff resolves to move deeper into the mansion toward DIO.
Secret Factor: Too slow, Vanilla Ice! (のろいぜヴァニラ・アイス)
Boss Form
Vanilla Ice is typically the penultimate boss in Story Mode. This version of the character behaves very differently to the playable Vanilla Ice: 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.
Vanilla Ice primarily attacks by travelling the screen inside Cream vertically and diagonally, these attacks track the player’s position and must be evaded in-time. Boss Vanilla Ice also has different supers. In the first one, he circles around the stage and until he closes in on the center. In the second one, Cream will move erratically on whichever side of the screen the player is on. Both of these supers are unblockable.
