Shadow DIO

"Just now, it felt as though someone was watching me again..." —Shadow DIO

Info

Overview

Shadow DIO (sometimes referred to as "S Dio") is a stand based on a secret character in the JJBA video game, Heritage For The Future (also abbreviated as HFTF), called Shadow Dio or Evil Incarnate DIO. It is an alternative version of DIO before he fought the Crusaders in Cairo. In-game, Shadow Dio is an ability with 2 modes. Each mode has different moves, with little to no end-lag, which allows for combos. When used correctly, Shadow Dio can be a powerful ability. Shadow Dio can also evolve into The World, which can be done by using Blood Of Joseph on Shadow Dio. This item can be obtained by doing Him's quest. The only downsides are the lack of block breaks, as only Space Ripper and Punishment can break block.

Appearance

Shadow DIO's new look is very similar to the old appearance. It has a white/cyan at the top, pink at the bottom color scheme. Shadow Dio is voxel to be reminiscent of it's HFTF origins. It also has small oxygen tanks on its back. However, the stand has no legs and the graded white to pink color scheme gets more and more transparent the further down it goes. Further more, The developing bits of the stand are now forfeit, implying that the user of Shadow The World had not trained with it.

Trivia

You can press U to toggle whether Shadow DIO is visible or not. This is purely cosmetic and doesn't change the gameplay in any way, similar to the Brilliant Bone Blades ability used by Kars.
Before Shadow DIO's pose was implemented back into the game, Shadow The World didn't appear so it was just the user posing instead.
The Combo G + H is not exactly a true combo, as there is a short window where opponents can input buttons, including dash. However, they will still get hit by Punishment and take damage. The only time when G + H will not work is if the opponent has a counter or barrages.
Back in the Old Universe, the Arcade Bar went up by damage and the number stood for how long your time stop would last. (example: 5 on your arcade number = 5 second ts)
