==Introduction==
One of the major allies of Stardust Crusaders, the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Kakyoin Noriaki is '''the''' zoner of All-Star Battle R, with outstanding long range pokes that span half-screen and has the god of all projectiles his signature Emerald Splash which fires 9 small projectiles with low recovery and beats out nearly every projectile in the game. Outside of Emerald Splash he has 214x and s.623x which have Hierophant attack with tentacles from the ground as an alternate zoning option if the opponent has an answer to Emerald Splash. Kakyoin's zoning is extremely oppressive and will shut down a good part of the cast, and on top of this he has a solid mixup option between 2M and dash-jump j.H as ways to catch people sleeping who are too focused on moving around your zoning. Lastly, despite being a zoner, Kakyoin does really above average damage making him great at creating huge lifeleads to sit on.

Introduction

One of the major allies of Stardust Crusaders, the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Noriaki Kakyoin is the zoner of All-Star Battle R, with outstanding long range pokes that span half-screen and the god of all projectiles: his signature "Emerald Splash", which fires 9 small projectiles with low recovery and beats out nearly every projectile in the game. Outside of this, he has "How's this!" and "You're already in my grasp!", which have Hierophant Green attack with tentacles from the ground as an alternate zoning option if the opponent has an answer to "Emerald Splash". Kakyoin's zoning is extremely oppressive and will shut down a good part of the cast, and on top of this he has a solid mixup option between 2M and dash-jump j.H as ways to catch people sleeping or who are too focused on moving around his zoning. Lastly, despite being a zoner, Kakyoin does really above average damage, making him great at creating huge lifeleads to sit on.

With his amazing zoning, damage, and great matchup spread, Kakyoin is one of the strongest characters in All-Star Battle R.

  • Long Range Normals: Kakyoin has access to long-reaching normals that can combo from afar, allowing Kakyoin to play from his most effective distance.
Playstyle
JJASBR Kakyoin Small Icon.png Noriaki Kakyoin is a Stand character who zones with every desired tool to keep people out.
Pros Cons
  • Best In Class Zoning: Kakyoin's long-reaching normals and multi-hitting projectiles allow him to zone effectively without being beaten out by most other zoners.
  • Independent Trap: Because "Hierophant's Barrier" is independent of Kakyoin, he is able to set it up as a defensive measure against opponents who are trying to approach, allowing him to keep up his gameplan even after getting hit.
  • Damage: Kakyoin does great damage and builds great meter with his combos. Using meter or assists allows him to convert long range pokes into high damage, sometimes making these combos uninterruptible by Reversal Assists.
  • Matchups: Kakyoin does not lose many matchups (if any), going slightly losing at worst.
  • Lack of Meterless Reversal: Kakyoin's only invincible options are HHA and GHA, making it harder for him to escape pressure in certain situations.
