Introduction

Avdol is an Egyptian stand user from part 3 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Stardust crusaders. Wielding Magicians Red, Avdol is a Jack of all trades character with an answer for most situations. In user mode, Avdol has an adequate array of tools for playing the mid-range game, including his long-reaching JM, JH, 5H, 2H, Projectile, and Whip specials. Thanks to his heavy whip, Avdol can meterless my transition into Stand mode, giving him relatively high damage meterless combos that build anywhere from .5 to a full bar to use on the next hit.

In stand mode, Avdol gains some new tools and great buttons, such as 5M, 5H, JH, and 2L, which is his longest low poke. Here his fireball becomes a tracking orb to start or extend combos, an actual DP with invincibility, a series of slashes that start combos, and a high-risk high-reward parry strike that can lead to 60-70% damage. Both his Orb and 22X are key to his Oki game, where one wrong block or read can lead to Avdol's dangerous combo game

That said, Avdol’s flame doesn’t burn the brightest in some areas. No command grabs or command normals means he must rely on a strike throw mix pressure that can become predictable. He also can only contest against characters string in their craft; he can’t hold a candle to a zoner or stop fast rushdown focused character as they’ll easily out maneuver him. If you enjoy a shoto with a wide assortment of tools and solid Oki gameplay, your 4 wishes have been answered.

• Burn: Together with Esidisi and Koichi, Avdol's one of the few characters who has access to Burn damage. While it's not a huge part of his kit, it adds a little bit of damage over time on a lot of his moves.
• Setplay: "Crossfire Hurricane Variation" is a delayable projectile that can be set up after a knockdown, granting Avdol flexible oki and setplay capabilities.

Playstyle

Muhammad Avdol is a Stand character who utilizes his flames and setplay to scorch his opponents.
Pros	Cons
Pro 1: Both Stand and User mode have incredible normals and specials that can adapt well to any gameplan and serve multiple purposes Setplay and Oki: Between 22X and Orb, Avdol has a fantastic time applying pressure after knockdowns and in neutral Pro 3: Thanks to heavy whip, avdol has meter inexpensive combos that pack a punch, often a setting him up for a two touch on most of the cast Pro 3: Between 2M, 5H, and JM in User and 5M, 2M, and 5H in Stand, Avdol’s buttons can hold ground tremendously well and prevent escape attempts Pro 3: His whip, projectile, 22X, and 236X can create a wall of strong ranged attacks. Pro 3: Stand mode gives him access to a true DP and a parry, both great for anti air purposes or escaping pressure.	Con 1: Avdol can struggle with opponents who are masters of one of his crafts. He has no way to beat back zoners or catch rushdown characters consistently Con 2: Outside of HHA or GHA, Avdol does not have an invincible wakeup in User. Con 2: Sometimes normals will not connect at specific ranges, dropping combos and making him waste precious combo opportunities. Con 2: Avdol is a straight strike throw monster. No grounded overhead means he must play at a disadvantage against overly defensive enemies.
