## Gameplay

* **Oh, this suits me well!** - DIO, from a combo, knocks an opponent to the ground, plunges his fingers into them, and start draining their blood. He absorbs a small amount of their health to replenish his own.
* **And one more just in case!** - DIO summons The World to quickly throw a single knife. The attack button inputted determines the speed of the knife.
* **He's gone!** - DIO raises his finger before stopping time and reappearing a distance in the direction the movement stick is held. If no direction is being inputted, DIO will simply "teleport" backwards. He is able to cancel into a Normal Attack once the skill succeeds. If time is stopped, DIO will simply perform an invincible Sidestep.
* **The World! Stop, time!** - After a short period of vulnerability, DIO stops time for five whole seconds. His partner and opponents are unable to move, and he is able to initiate any action or attack with impunity. However, other time-stopping characters may activate their own ability to enter DIO's stopped time. This ability's cooldown is equal to 40 counts of the battle timer, making it the longest cooldown of any ability in the game.

**Super Move: THE WORLD!** - DIO walks calmly and intimidatingly towards the opponent, and tells them to feast their eyes on his power while he's seemingly about to attack them. He suddenly stops time to appear behind his target as they're frozen by fear, then summons The World to punch through them with enough power to send them flying.

**Hyper Move: Scared, are we?** - 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.

**Ultimate Move: This is a road roller!** - DIO send his opponent to Cairo Bridge. The opponent is now on the Bridge of Cairo, then DIO stopped time. Seven seconds later, DIO pull out and drop the "ROAD ROLLER DA!" on the opponent, crushing the opponent with a Road Roller. "It's too late! You cannot escape!!" DIO muda the Road Roller to flatten and crushing his opponent to death. "Eight seconds has passed! WRYYYYYYY!! Flat as a pancake!!" DIO pulls a final punch on a Road Roller as the opponent is crushed to death, then DIO jump out from the Road Roller. "...Soshite toki wa ugokidasu. (...And so, time flows again.)" As the time flows again, the Road Roller explode, causing the opponent to launch off from the stage.

**Synergy: Vanilla Ice** -

**Dual Heat Attacks: Giorno - Surpassing Existence!** - DIO summons The World to batter the opponent, before being joined by Giorno and Gold Experience. After exchanging looks, both of them yell out their shared Stand Cry in unison and attack their target with steadily increasing power, before delivering a combined powerful strike that sends the opponent reeling.
