JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Will A. Zeppeli
Introduction
Will A. Zeppeli, a major ally in Phantom Blood, the first part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, is a rushdown-centered character with above-average mixup potential. He excels at consistent rewards off of hits and tricky movement.
Zeppeli's neutral is fairly standard, having 6M and "Hamon Cutter" to keep opponents at bay. However, unlike Jonathan who has a similar 6M, he does not get as large of a reward off of this hit. While "Hamon Cutter" is a solid projectile, it is just a projectile that keeps opponents away while he wants to get close.
On offense, Zeppeli can be quite tricky, as "Low Contact Hamon Guard" and "Spirit Hamon Overdrive" both stall him in the air, making instant overheads available as a mixup option. These options both use a small amount of meter and can be beaten by an opponent who is ready to punish them, but they are good options nonetheless as they can also stall any normal jump-in or even his super jump, making them harder to anti-air. For combos, Zeppeli wants to use his "Sunlight Yellow Overdrive" hitgrab, as it causes hard knockdown and can be enhanced to deal Hamon damage.
On defense, Zeppeli has an invincible reversal in "EX Sendo Wave Kick". He can also block aerial attacks using "Low Contact Hamon Guard", making his defense a bit better than other characters. His HHA can be used as a reversal, but because of the way Zeppeli gets low to the ground, it is better used as a low profile than an anti-air.
- EX Moves: For the cost of 0.5 bars, Zeppeli can perform enhanced versions of his special moves. These enhanced moves cause Hamon Damage against Vampire and Pillar Men characters, making these moves deal extra damage against them.
- Movement: Zeppeli not only has access to a Super Jump, but also has two moves that provide an air stall, giving him more movement and mixup options that other characters do not have.
Will A. Zeppeli is a rushdown character who utilizes deceptive movement to disguise his intentions. | |
