Honestly, Stand-On 623x is the most DIO move imaginable in the context of DIO as a character. Yes, he's begging you to try something - the man thinks he's (fucking) invincible.
Yeah, it's a flavor success; it's unfortunately also a function failure. I wonder if it would have been salvagable if it was some weird projectile-counter hybrid, like a warped version of Shadow DIO's counter.
The funniest thing about DIO is his Jotaro match-up, which feels really lore accurate (probably by accident). Jotaro and DIO kinda occupy the same archetype of character, wanting to get in your face for big damage combos (even Star Finger oki and DIO's Blazing Fists oki is the same idea in practice). However, Jotaro has buttons that are extremely fast and can stuff DIO's approaches, meaning that DIO has to play really cautiously and try to lame him out with knives or whiff punish him, and even then there's a chance Jotaro could jumpscare you with Star Breaker. Even if you are playing well, Jotaro could pop your skull open and win. I feel like that's close to how the fight between them plays out in the actual manga. Also it's not just the character portrait that has DIO in his jacket, it's literally every single image of DIO besides his actual in-game sprite. His new challenger portrait, character select manga panel, Stand Tandem portrait, Vs screen portrait, face portrait in the corner in-game (you can tell by the hair and just barely seeing his headband) and even the title screen all have Jacket DIO. It's literally everything _except_ the actual DIO you get to play as (without modding). This probably happened because High DIO appears for about three chapters in the manga, and since HFTF draws its sprites directly over the manga panels, most of the available references are Jacket DIO. I'm pretty sure the only other time High DIO's design is used is in Midler's ending, where he drains her blood (which uses the panel him draining Joseph's blood for reference).
They do this matchup shenanigan in every game. Both versions of ASB got this quirkiness going on and can make DIO's 3 bar super unusable because the opponent picked Jotaro.
Lore wise DIO is way more powerful than Jotaro, he has the ego to seek more power in whatever form it takes, Jotaro also has ego but he restrains it and requires other people to bring out the best in him. DIO underestimated Jotaro because Jotaro only brings out his full power when absolutely necessary, and if DIO didn't have The World then Star Platinum probably would've never figured out it could stop time. Edit: Shadow DIO seems to be what you're describing, where SDIO and Jotaro are both aggressive brawlers but Jotaro is stronger so SDIO has to use knives and passive stand specials to gain the upper hand.
15:51 I will not tolerate Bloody summoning being downplayed, it is a great reversal, far from just okay. Issue is that its just outshined by Knives and tandem mostly. S.on BS is incredibly hard to punish correctly and most of the time if you block it anywhere except pointblank, Dio is practically unpunishable and can even try to just throw out another one catching your punish attempt.
Am I any good at fighting games? No. Do I understand half of what MrMixtape talks about in these videos? Also no. Do I still enjoy watching these videos and listening to the explanations? Yes, yes I do.
I’ll always find it interesting that the jacketless/final fight Dio is the playable one on the roster, given that the jacket look is more iconic. I would’ve expected a Shin Akuma situation, where the jacketless version is a souped up boss-only character. Either way, it’s a good look. Love how well they adapted him for the game.
Tbf. This game was made before JoJo was popular in the West. Makes sense that capcoms vision of whats iconic and what people want to see is vastly different from what it is today
Shadow Dio’s existence is funny to me because it’s just Dio from the panels before he reached full power. That said, it’s pretty sick how he manages to be a fully realized character that feels deliberately incomplete, relating to the manga.
it's more likely that your internet is the problem, or the high ping of the people you tried to fight on online, the game becomes a slideshow if you play against anyone that's at 300+ ping, or 200+ on wi-fi. It runs on pretty much anything that have access to directx9 (AKA almost all computers from 2009 onwards, most 2005+ computers)
Why? For what reason? It's not hard and fundamental to basically any anime fighter. I get that you're trying to make a joke but realistically it doesn't land because nobody has this issue.
22:00 well, you could use that unblockable as a roll meaty that you mentioned shortly before, but other than that there's also the very common dash left/right "mixup" its far from airtight and has its flaws, but it does catch people all the time
I came back to this game a week ago and have always mained DIO. This video dropping NOW of all times means I'm gonna be playing HTFT for the next 5 years.
The thought comes to mind that I think we didn't use numpad notation when I was young because computers weren't as ubiquitous and we certainly weren't playing any fighting games on them. At least not any good ones, so the old "QCF" "HCB" sort of thing is what I grew up with. Adjusting to numpad notation has proven to be a little tricky for my old man brain.
Very well put together video showcasing important tools for both Dio and Sdio, its a bit surface level at some points, however you definitely did do your research on 99% of things stated in this video
DIO is not the final boss because he's the final opponent you fight in the arcade mode. He's actually the final boss because knowing how to play him effectively is damn hard. And it's _DIO,_ so of course you want to learn how to play him effectively. And thats how he gets ya. Honestly pretty in character for DIO.
It's pretty cool seeing you explain these characters, and it's cool to see how capcom made these characters work in a fighting game also, want to thank you for getting me into JOJO HFTF it's a pretty cool game
21:32 in Sengoku Basara X one of the characters (Date Masamune) has a DP that is punishable on hit. It’s even punishable on hit into an infinite depending on the character
I feel like Bloody Summoning and Divine Drink should heal the DIOs. They're slurping the opponents blood, and that's exactly how he regenerates from damage in the manga.
@@DragoonCenten nah normal DIO could do with a change like that bloody summoning isnt even a very good super. Shadow dio doesnt need the heal though lol his suck doesnt even take meter and is unblockable fuck that shit
@asdasd-dm1hd Normal DIO is among the best in the game, Shadow DIO is overplayed and is annoying to see over and over, so I'd say the less changes to them the better.
Hey man, just wanted to let you know how awesome these videos are. I got into fighting games about a year ago and you've been my favorite creator that i found in the space ever since then. Every new upload is an instant watch for me. Especially with these HFTF videos, I feel like I genuinely understand nearly every character in the game on a base level and I don't even play it lol. I really wanna get into retro games but the execution required for them just makes it seem kinda daunting to me. Your videos continually push me to want to play them anyway though, and I feel like HFTF will be the first one I give a shot. I've now got a good idea of which characters I'm interested in are less executionally demanding and how to play them, like S. Dio, Avdol, and Rubber Soul. Anyway, thank you for all the entertainment and inspiration over the last several months. Keep up the good work dude, we all enjoy it.
Every time he releases a video in HFTF I feel like I’m ascending. You legitimately explain these characters the best. These long form videos are the best please make more.
10:55 S623x only has 2 legitimate utilities but they're so situational that you will most likely never get to use them, but first one is: If you're meterless and your cancel-able stand on normal gets whiffed because of the opponent's tandem I-frames abuse, you can immediately cancel your normal to S623x to avoid a stand crash combo, and the only damage you will take is 2-3 since tandem damage scaling is very low 2nd, you can use S623x to meaty a few character with middle-volume wakeup speed (S5a > S5b > S6C xx S623x) though since it's slow it will always get blocked unless they're mashing Oh, and also, Stand on Bloody Summoning's pre-super flash I-frames are still present even after time stop, so you can use it as quick escape tool if you're caught off guard by a surprise time stop and don't have time for 214AA escape or 1f 623x
I really appreciate how well you break down these characters for someone who hasn’t played, even giving some bnbs and tech tips! Because these videos have made me really interested in looking for more heritage content to see how to get into the game or who I think I’d like playing.
Given how "infamous" DIO's throw is for its badness, I have to wonder how much better he would be if it simply was always +0 on hit. I wonder the same for Hol Horse too of course.
I got into HFTF around 2020. Since day 1 I knew I wanted to main DIO. It probably took me over 50 hours of grinding with training mode lua scripts just to get the bnb down consistently, but once I got it man did it feel so good. I got to B rank with him and I was happy with that. I have not played a good session of HFTF in probably over 2 years, but I know if I pick up DIO right now I can still pull off that bnb. You never forget.
I got into JoJo and fighting games around the same time, and after downloading fightcade, I thought I’d try out the JoJo fighting game I had heard nothing but praise for. I picked DIO. After a match, an ass-beating, and some advice, I spent the rest of the night in training mode, reading wikis, watching replays, and practicing moves. Such a fun, complex character.
Let's not forget shadow Dio's super is actually cheaper than jot's or Dio's. You only need 2 bars to use it and 1 bar to unstop yourself from the other player's time stop.
numpad notation is what made motion inputs finally make sense to me. i got into fighting games with sfv, and struggled to consistently get exactly what input i wanted until GGST when i looked at dustloop and saw the numbers. after reading an explanation, i realized that the game is looking specifically for where your input ends to determine what special move comes out. numpad notation is the way
8:41 is straight up wrong btw, it does work multiple times, however you'll lose it by doing a couple things, for example utilizing sj236x will remove it
honestly, I always found it weird how Jacket DIO is the unplayable and the "High" version that would be the superboss in any other game is the playable one
some things that I noticed were missing from the sdio segment were that knives are + on block, 663c is cancelable into 5s which makes it a good engage tool, and you can hold down 623aa to fly across the map
I think Shadow Dio knife special was inspiration for Ciel in Melty Blood. She also can use various follow ups when she throws knifes. And it was totally inspiration for one the character for indie fighting game Hinokakero - Silvis, guy who loves to toss various form of knifes who also have iconic circle of knifes as his ultimate.
So what I hear is that regular DIO plays like Ash Crimson with the absurdly long, highly technical combos, while Shadow DIO plays like Iori Yagami, fake crossup and super high damage, easy combos.
I remember the first time i got interested in fighting game was watching Joel Vinesauce play JoJo HFTF, and when he plays Dio I was hyped because he make Dio look so fun to play.
the move where he sends the world out is more referencing the fact he appeared and punched hierophant green from the car, despite the distance being over 2 meters
I've watched a lot of your videos, somehow figured out myself what numbers meant as a directions and now, after all guides on characters of JoJo you start video with a notepad tutorial. Well, I hope it means more subscribers and wider audience
Hey I don't know if you can but could you start making videos of the arcade game Fist of the North Star (I think it's also on PS2) I've seen some videos and it looks quite interesting with some mechanics I would appreciate it if you could read this lol
Aw man I forgot how sick the movement is in this game. The training footage of just doing dash 5As is making me wanna hop back on this game at some point lol
Ive seen some mugen variations of JJBA which includes variations of Dio like his Heaven Ascension state. There he feels like a proper boss character with things that make him much more annoying like a bit of passive health regeneration, a instant time stop, and a super that basically refills all his health. Also his AI is much better in heaven ascension mode, Im not sure if the AI includes input reading too.
Let's be honest, a good chunk of the fanbase got into JoJo thanks to that one flash animation of the roadroller. Thank you for getting me into the series, DIO-sama.
DIO (as opposed to Dio Brando, since both are in ASB lmao) has a lot of differences compared to Heritage. Most important is that his base costume is the one with the coat and not his final form after sucking Joseph's blood, which I imagine is a plus for you. In all seriousness though, there are some neat comparisons between both DIOs To start, ASBR DIO can throw knives normally outside of using a super a back to forward input, and it's relatively fast since he doesn't do the fuck off throw he normally does. He can also perform knive throws during time stop, and his basic super involves throwing knives too, but in a cinematic (also one of the best HHA's visually speaking) The punch he has is there too, and it sends the opponent flying across the screen. A unique attribute being that it can become unblockable if charged, which is made better in ASBR because he has assists (ironically enough, Jotaro is one the better assists for said unblockable setups lmao) ASBR DIO lacks a true teleport (which ironically, Part 4 Jotaro does have), but he has a counter that functions similarly to Shadow Dio's counter, in that it works with basically anything that isn't a super iirc. The downside is that unlike Heritage, DIO will automatically attack after teleporting, and this teleport can be Stylish Guarded (ASBR's system of perfect parry), or just blocked, making it situational. Also noteworthy is that he has a way to escape blockstrings and avoid damage at the cost of 2 bars. Punch rush is about what you expect, being the typical MUDA MUDA MUDA that you've come to expect. This is however in Stand On. He has a different move in Stand Off where DIO summons the World to hit the opponent after a time stop. This can be used as a combo starter or ender, the latter being used in time stop combos. He happens to have an air MUDA in Stand On, but rather than the forward moving one he has in Heritage, is a downward punch rush that ends with him launching the opponent with a kick. This can be Stand Rushed (a form of special cancel certain Stand Users have) that lets DIO attack while the World attacks, as well go for different combo routes. His command grab as Shadow Dio returns and has a unique property of giving him health back, and meter if he uses it on a Joestar (excluding Johnny and Gappy), even doing the thing of drilling his finger into his skull afterwards. His GHA, as you would expect, is Road Roller, does what you'd expect. A neat little thing that can happen when using it, which you may have seen already given how cool it is, is that Jotaro can time stop during it and escape the final hit, letting him survive should the super kill. Time Stop is also here, and while there are more setups thanks to assists, one downside is that doing timestop (on any character that has it) without full meter will significantly slow down the animation. This was a nerf from the original ASB, where the animation stays the same regardless. Some other noteworthy things is that although listed as a Stand User, DIO takes increased damage from Hamon attacks and Stroheim's UV ray, which isn't helped since his HP is just barely above the lowest at 840 (800 is the lowest, 1000 is the average). No Shadow Dio either, since that's just a costume alongside final DIO. One thing that does suck about Heritage DIO imo is that he lacks the funniest and ironically useful part of ASBR DIO's kit. STOP SIGN. It's a stand off command normal that hits OTG, can be stand rushed into Stand Off, be used to get more damage in during Stand Rush "My Stand's Full Power" (downward Muda), and can even be canceled into his counter to get further OTG. Truly funny how good a move it is, considering how it failed to kill Jotaro in Part 3 lmao. I know it's probably a little random to talk about an entirely different fighting game underneath a video about another game, but I do find it interesting comparing how Capcom and CyberConnect2 handled having to make Jojo Fighting games, and the differences/similarities they both have. I do hope a day comes you touch on ASBR, since it isn't talked about much and doesn't have too big of a scene because Bandai sucks lol. Amazing video.
The fact that this video starts with a numpad notation tutorial means we're gonna get freaky in the next 47 minutes

some things that I noticed were missing from the sdio segment were that knives are + on block, 663c is cancelable into 5s which makes it a good engage tool, and you can hold down 623aa to fly across the map
Eye lasers?
It's Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, tvym.
I'm not good at 2D fighters and holy mackarels, it's so frustrating the amount of times I've used this goddamn move 10:55 by accident...
I think Shadow Dio knife special was inspiration for Ciel in Melty Blood. She also can use various follow ups when she throws knifes. And it was totally inspiration for one the character for indie fighting game Hinokakero - Silvis, guy who loves to toss various form of knifes who also have iconic circle of knifes as his ultimate.
Start palette represent! Gingers and black pants on top fr. And yes, Sdio is indeed not a rushdown charachter ❤️💯
When MrMixtape uploads 😃
0:19 poke on that thang
tu ah
DIO being the hardest character to master makes sense considering he's a contender for one of the most skilled stand users in series
So what I hear is that regular DIO plays like Ash Crimson with the absurdly long, highly technical combos, while Shadow DIO plays like Iori Yagami, fake crossup and super high damage, easy combos.
Oh so this is where Valentine from Skullgirls got her knife and time stop supers lmao
“Grabbing the teleport is the best way to check it” yeah that’s great and all too bad some grabs are MINUS ON HIT

I don't even play this game, but I've been enthralled since the start of the video.
I remember the first time i got interested in fighting game was watching Joel Vinesauce play JoJo HFTF, and when he plays Dio I was hyped because he make Dio look so fun to play.
the move where he sends the world out is more referencing the fact he appeared and punched hierophant green from the car, despite the distance being over 2 meters
41 minutes of mrmixtape i am eating GOOD tonight
it's all fun and games till the jacket comes off
I've watched a lot of your videos, somehow figured out myself what numbers meant as a directions and now, after all guides on characters of JoJo you start video with a notepad tutorial. Well, I hope it means more subscribers and wider audience
youre right, sonic frontiers IS a good game
These videos are therapy to me
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
these videos are nice man its great to see peope making content for this game again sjnce the scene has been kinda dying for the past few years
Red stone of aja can punish road roller, imagine
god i wish namco would let capcom rerelease this game with rollback 🙏
Hey I don't know if you can but could you start making videos of the arcade game Fist of the North Star (I think it's also on PS2) I've seen some videos and it looks quite interesting with some mechanics I would appreciate it if you could read this lol
Me and my friends just started playing this game on fightcade. This game is so much fun.
OH SO THAT IS WHAT NUMPAD NOTATIONS ARE! THANK YOU!
Aw man I forgot how sick the movement is in this game. The training footage of just doing dash 5As is making me wanna hop back on this game at some point lol
Hi I am a fan of your channel.
"DIO is HARD" sure hope he is 🫦
MrMixtape I got top 0.3% watchtime idk i just wanted to say that
Ive seen some mugen variations of JJBA which includes variations of Dio like his Heaven Ascension state. There he feels like a proper boss character with things that make him much more annoying like a bit of passive health regeneration, a instant time stop, and a super that basically refills all his health. Also his AI is much better in heaven ascension mode, Im not sure if the AI includes input reading too.
Damn, this reminds me of playing HFTF on my school Chromebook in the back of Social Studies
Nice redemption arc on not calling the 214a link 1 frame
I wonder what doi is doing
HNK Roah is also an uber popular end boss with a big execution floor.
Every game needs an insanely technical character that gets less reward than the bunga top tiers
who tf doesn't use numpad notation nowadays!? lmao
YES MY MAIN FINALLY
He was the character I picked up first
I couldnt do one bnb
Let's be honest, a good chunk of the fanbase got into JoJo thanks to that one flash animation of the roadroller. Thank you for getting me into the series, DIO-sama.
Hey, here's that video you promised me, while im eating. Timing couldn't be better.
i like to call shadow dio proto dio
DIO (as opposed to Dio Brando, since both are in ASB lmao) has a lot of differences compared to Heritage. Most important is that his base costume is the one with the coat and not his final form after sucking Joseph's blood, which I imagine is a plus for you. In all seriousness though, there are some neat comparisons between both DIOs
To start, ASBR DIO can throw knives normally outside of using a super a back to forward input, and it's relatively fast since he doesn't do the fuck off throw he normally does. He can also perform knive throws during time stop, and his basic super involves throwing knives too, but in a cinematic (also one of the best HHA's visually speaking)
The punch he has is there too, and it sends the opponent flying across the screen. A unique attribute being that it can become unblockable if charged, which is made better in ASBR because he has assists (ironically enough, Jotaro is one the better assists for said unblockable setups lmao)
ASBR DIO lacks a true teleport (which ironically, Part 4 Jotaro does have), but he has a counter that functions similarly to Shadow Dio's counter, in that it works with basically anything that isn't a super iirc. The downside is that unlike Heritage, DIO will automatically attack after teleporting, and this teleport can be Stylish Guarded (ASBR's system of perfect parry), or just blocked, making it situational. Also noteworthy is that he has a way to escape blockstrings and avoid damage at the cost of 2 bars.
Punch rush is about what you expect, being the typical MUDA MUDA MUDA that you've come to expect. This is however in Stand On. He has a different move in Stand Off where DIO summons the World to hit the opponent after a time stop. This can be used as a combo starter or ender, the latter being used in time stop combos. He happens to have an air MUDA in Stand On, but rather than the forward moving one he has in Heritage, is a downward punch rush that ends with him launching the opponent with a kick. This can be Stand Rushed (a form of special cancel certain Stand Users have) that lets DIO attack while the World attacks, as well go for different combo routes.
His command grab as Shadow Dio returns and has a unique property of giving him health back, and meter if he uses it on a Joestar (excluding Johnny and Gappy), even doing the thing of drilling his finger into his skull afterwards.
His GHA, as you would expect, is Road Roller, does what you'd expect. A neat little thing that can happen when using it, which you may have seen already given how cool it is, is that Jotaro can time stop during it and escape the final hit, letting him survive should the super kill. Time Stop is also here, and while there are more setups thanks to assists, one downside is that doing timestop (on any character that has it) without full meter will significantly slow down the animation. This was a nerf from the original ASB, where the animation stays the same regardless.
Some other noteworthy things is that although listed as a Stand User, DIO takes increased damage from Hamon attacks and Stroheim's UV ray, which isn't helped since his HP is just barely above the lowest at 840 (800 is the lowest, 1000 is the average). No Shadow Dio either, since that's just a costume alongside final DIO. One thing that does suck about Heritage DIO imo is that he lacks the funniest and ironically useful part of ASBR DIO's kit. STOP SIGN. It's a stand off command normal that hits OTG, can be stand rushed into Stand Off, be used to get more damage in during Stand Rush "My Stand's Full Power" (downward Muda), and can even be canceled into his counter to get further OTG. Truly funny how good a move it is, considering how it failed to kill Jotaro in Part 3 lmao.
I know it's probably a little random to talk about an entirely different fighting game underneath a video about another game, but I do find it interesting comparing how Capcom and CyberConnect2 handled having to make Jojo Fighting games, and the differences/similarities they both have. I do hope a day comes you touch on ASBR, since it isn't talked about much and doesn't have too big of a scene because Bandai sucks lol. Amazing video.
Numpad notation my behated
Aw man… I thought you were gonna cover Shadow Dio soon. he is a secret character that does appear out of nowhere in Jojo’s Venture.
Blud has Tekken movement in a 2D game
2:22 midlers stand def is so high because her teeth are supposedly harder than diamond
And we all know diamond is unbreakable
YEAAAH SHADOW DIO VIDEO!!!!
I don't really understand much of the fighting in the game, I'm really only watching the video for the absolutely amazing art in this game.
Dio is the hardest character to use, unless you're me playing against my brother, which just involves me jumping and randomly calling road roller lol
