I think it's how "intelligent" Stands are supposed to be -- whether or not they need more direction from their users. An example being Star Platinum seeing and drawing the fly.

I thought I was going insane for a second.

The JoJo wiki says "Measures the Stand's possible functions and utilization of its abilities and powers."


So I guess it's like how much of a Stand's potential has been utilized.

You can see it when you compare Star Platinum's stats to Star Platinum: The World. The latter has a lower development potential stat since Jotaro's making more use of its abilities and has little potential remaining to be explored.

Aside from Rohan, The ASB scans corroborate more "out there" things from the leaked roster: Specifically, Series 1 Dio. In "story mode", the last boss will be the main villain from your selected character's part. Dunno what they'll do with Jo2uke though.

If we really do get the main antagonist from every part, this will be the fighting game with the largest amount of broken characters in the roster. That would make this the perfect successor to the game with the most broken character ever.

Yes because Part 3 Dio can't use his vampire powers at full power. After Part 7 Dio is confirmed we should have all the Dio we need for this game.

Why is more DIO a bad thing? They are adding characters much less suitable for a fighting game than him.

Because there's not enough differences between Part 1 and 3 to make him into his own characters. The part 3 game already gave him eye lasers, boxing is literally just giving him some punching normals, and who honestly cares about ice powers?


MonsterEnvy posted:

I have never heard any confirmation about this and even if it is true it's still dumb to try and apply canon to a fighting game to restrict character abilities, especially since the Part 3 game itself gave him eye lasers and Araki actually payed attention to that game. Are you going to cite canon reasons for why they can't give Polnareff a Requiem super in this game if he's not in the wheelchair too, but the Part 3 game literally didn't care and just gave him one anyways?

Um he only used the Eye lasers as Shadow Dio in the old game. Which was another Dio Character so your argument is invalid. Part 1 Dio would play very differently as he would not have the world and would have Ice powers. (And I care about the Ice Powers.)

The only way I would find a character slot for Dio wasted is if we had Alt Deigo Brando as a character.

No, he had it as his regular version too, go back and look at it. That's not even counting that your point is still proving me right, because Shadow Dio is just Dio up until his reveal, where he still has the laser eyes and his body isn't complete, but that's just another vague term by Araki meaning "I can't let him fight yet, because I'm still figuring out what I want him to do". I don't care how differently Part 1 Dio would play, it's a matter of I want the JoJo style to be represented with better characters than Vanilla Dio and we already have the better version in the game, there's no reason to add the watered down version from the First Story which even Araki doesn't like looking back on it. I'd honestly prefer they do more characters who didn't have a fighting stand like Rohan, because those are the unique characters that they'd have to have to put some style into the combat for, but it's just easier to do mostly dudes that fought and a zinger here and there.

I checked and you are right but the eye lasers are all he has. Still part 1 only has 2 guys right now so a 2nd Dio is better for the game because it will have a different move set to account for lack of the world and Ice powers and to fill the requirement for a part 1 villain. Nothing you say will change that.

Still Part 1 Dio can more or less be considered the Shadow Dio of this game.

My problem isn't a playstyle, I don't have a hard time believing it could easily be different. My problem is I don't want see a second version of the same character even if it is the best villain in the series, unless it's Diego who isn't that much like the main Dio when it's all said and done. His older version's better in about every way and literally the only reason they're probably adding is because "Oh hey, we need a villain for every part because reasons." That being said they have made some really cool choices on the character roster like Rohan, Akira, and Josuke 2. I just wish they wouldn't add characters out of some sort of obligation, I feel that's the worst way to go about making an anime game because it's easily what makes them stagnate quickly like the DBZ and Naruto games.

gimme the GOD DAMN candy
Jul 1, 2007
Why on earth do you care so much? It isn't as though the inclusion of part 1 Dio explicitly prevents some other character from being in the game. Considering the day 1 Kira DLC, it is entirely possible that they will keep adding DLC characters post-release.

Cipher Pol 9

I'm of the opinion that the vampire powers, ice and stinger eyes, if kept exclusive to Part 1 Dio while Part 3 Dio focuses on the World and the iconic stuff he did in that series that would be an effective way to have both characters as separate without it feeling as much like a wasted slot.

Regardless, Part 1 Dio is probably in as much just to cash in on the anime's success and draw in the fans who loved the show and DIO especially, but might not have read the manga yet. That's justification enough for me if it helps the game sell better, even if I wasn't of the opinion that it's a good idea for gameplay too.

I care about the ice powers too (I always thought that was awesome) and there is a precedent for having two Dios in a fighting game, as seen with Shadow Dios, and honestly Part 1 Dio feels more different to Part 3 Dio than Shadow Dio was.
