The whole reason Dio does that is because Joseph was channeling hamon all over using purple hermit

Aurain posted:Not only that, his Time Stop works on Frieza time. Eh, DIO is a vampire and has a Stand that is stronger than one that was able to catch a bullet, he can get a poo poo load of stuff done in a few seconds. DIO can apparently fly now I guess. I guess that Dio has a cooldown on ＴＨＥ ＷＯＲＬＤ so he cant just constantly spam his ability to have, like, only a fraction of a second at a time where he isn't just moving in stopped time. I enjoyed everyone who didn't know's guesses were on what ＴＨＥ ＷＯＲＬＤ did, since I think I knew about that before I even saw any JoJo, so it's hard to objectively say how obvious the foreshadowing was.

  in peace you loving weirdo.  Fantastic episode. My only complaint is that David didn't recreate the swag-rear end angle of Jotaro walking towards Dio. Also, as cool as the time stop effect is, I don't think I can take it seriously after imagining https://d.maxfile.ro/ouikkbbhkc.webm and https://d.maxfile.ro/qbyxzdsbgy.webm as Dio ripping a HUGE fart.

Mugticket posted:There is also this: This exactly how my brain imagined a lot of Dio's pranks to happen to actually "work". The ghost might give a hand, but some things seems tricky to pull off within the time limit (and what a pain to return to the same exact pose to not give it away!  )."Is that... mustard on your chin DIO? Where did that come from?!" "Do you remember how many hot dogs you have eaten in your life?" "Oh. My. God."

Actually, aside from precision, they're pretty evenly matched in terms of stats. And even that doesn't determine which is better. After all, Star Platinum has an A in speed, but so does Tower of Gray. Star Platinum Destructive Power: A Speed: A Range: C Durability: A Precision: A Developmental Potential: A The World Destructive Power: A Speed: A Range: C Durability: A Precision: B Developmental Potential: B

Just wanna point out that Dio could easily have ended the show right there in the tower, but he passed up the perfect chance to kill all of his enemies in one stroke in favor of freaking them the gently caress out. And punishing Nukesaku. Dio is just about unmatched for sheer loving arrogance.

I'm glad that there are people that managed to avoid all the references and memes about DIO and his power all these years and that they could see this arc with fresh eyes. For reference, I was spoiled by touhou, before I even knew what jojo was.

The true power of THE WORLD isn't the power to stop time. At first, when DIO was learning it, he would only let out farts that entranced those around him in awe for a brief moment. But as he got more accustomed to it, hits farts were more intense and carried further. Eventually, he was able to stop not only people, but even fundamental forces of the universe were held in awe. Because of this, he now radiates CHARISMA. People are inexplicably drawn to him because of his divine talent to let one rip.

Anyone who played the EU release of Steins;Gate, which came out on PS3/Vita today, would have had what the The World does spoiled in like 30 minutes.

Saagonsa posted:Didn't Joseph specifically say that Dio couldn't have done that thanks to the time limit? That was just his guess. The real reason is that Dio is an arrogant gently caress. They pose zero threat to him, so he is going to take his time and slaughter them slowly. He could have stopped time and killed them all instantly with thrown knives like Joseph instead of messing with them and killing Nukesaku. Or at least, most of them.

Bad Seafood posted:ＳＴＡＴＳ = ＵＳＥＬＥＳＳ The JoJo wiki lists a C Range as equating to 20 meters which is 66 feet. It would be so loving broken if Jotaro or DIO could manifest their Stands over 60 feet away from their bodies. So Stands and fan wikis = Useless.

There's also this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMTA-j99KCg I was spoiled on this fight like, ten years ago by one of those terrible Mario 64 machinimas my teen self loved. And in the show Heroes, Hiro, who is able to stop time, paraphrases MUDA MUDA at least twice.

I dislike the inclusion of stats because they encourage "So which stand is stronger?" discussions, which I think defeats the whole point of stands (in general) being based around unique abilities rather than raw power. Range matters. Power "Matters" in that punchghosts are the exception to the rule and worth singling out. Everything else is superfluous.

Speed matters, too. Can't win if you can't hit the guy. Well, I guess you could hit the Stand User, but still.

Speed matters in a general sense, but not in the way a stats graph would suggest. There are very few points in the series where being able to win a proverbial "Quickdraw" is relevant.

I actually like the stats, because they further reinforce the notion that a smart guy with a supposedly "weak" Stand could beat a dumb guy with a really OP Stand.

For instance, when Kakyoin's Heirophant Green trumped Grey Fly despite it being a much slower stand.
