• Safety Lock!: Rohan can use seals from different parts of his moveset to lock away the opponent's options.

Playstyle

Rohan Kishibe is a Stand character who utilizes his Safety Locks to incapacitate the opponent.
Pros	Cons
Safety Lock!: Rohan's Safety Locks allow him to limit the opponent's options against him, leaving them at a disadvantage. In particular, his GHA seals nearly every action, leaving the opponent almost defenseless. Good Defense: Rohan is tied for the second highest health in the game. Combined with his possession of a meterless reversal in "I must keep drawing!", it allows him to survive many things other characters would not. Pseudo-Grappler: Rohan has 2 command grabs (1 per mode), both of which lead into great reward: "Your power will be destroyed." seals the opponent's Style actions, while "I won't even give you the chance to speak!" leads into a combo. This forces the opponent to guess after nearly every blocked hit.	Strange Moveset: Because of the unique properties of his Safety Locks, Rohan's Stand Off normals cannot be chained like traditional attacks, worsening his pressure and confirms in general. Stand On gives him access to a more traditional moveset, but comes at the cost of losing his main defensive tool. Stubby Limbs: Because of his unique Stand Off mode, and his attacks in Stand On having much less range than the average character, Rohan has a very limited selection of pokes, resulting in a lackluster neutral despite his access to a projectile. Bizarre Combo Structure: Because Rohan cannot chain normals into each other while in Stand Off, he mainly relies on links when it comes to confirms. He often requires to use Quick Stand On to access a more traditional combo game, making him somewhat meter intensive.

Safety Lock!

Rohan features a highly unusual Stand Off mode: in place of standard normal attacks, Rohan rapidly draws Pink Dark Boy's silhouette in the air. As a result, Rohan's Safety Locks do not trigger counters, nor do they negate projectiles (although they still interact with Super Armor and Auto Guard).

If the opponent touches the drawing, their normal attacks are sealed for a period of time. The normal attacks sealed correspond directly to the attack button used to produce the silhouette (Light Safety Locks seal Light normals, for example), sealing the opponent's standing, crouching, and jumping versions all at once. If the opponent attempts to use something they've been sealed out of, they temporarily get staggered, even while airborne.

In exchange, Rohan cannot chain the Safety Locks together as other characters would chain their normal attacks (meaning chains like 5L>2M or 5L>5M>5H are impossible to perform). Rohan can only use one seal at a time: landing an already applied Safety Lock refreshes its duration, and different Safety Locks will overwrite existing ones; additionally, if Rohan gets hit, any existing Safety Locks will be removed.
