JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Diavolo
Introduction
The central antagonist of Vento Aureo, the fifth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diavolo is a defensive character who excels at punishing his opponents for even attempting to harm him, utilizing the predictive abilities of Epitaph and the time erasing abilities of King Crimson to give himself an edge in battle. His neutral is very slow and methodical, as he either waits for his opponent to attempt to attack or finds the perfect moment to strike hard.
On offense, Diavolo strikes hard and fast with his high damage. His main combo tool, "The passage of time resumes!", can be followed up with "This is the end!" for either a hard knockdown or a full combo with the use of a Flash Cancel. Regardless of whether he is using normals or special moves in his combos, Diavolo is sure to deal high damage for almost anything he does. He can also find cracks in his opponent's defenses with an Unblockable attack (the charged version of "The passage of time resumes!"), fast Overheads (s.6H), and a command grab ("King Crimson!"). His HHA, "Epitaph", also allows him to pass through the opponent with his dash, giving him even more mix-up potential.
On defense, Diavolo shines with his unique movement and counterattacks. Both of Diavolo's dashes have invincible frames after startup, allowing him to either approach or escape an opponent in a safer way than most characters. "Time has been erased..." is a counter that activates his unique Erasing Time ability, in which he is put at advantage over his opponent after a brief screen freeze. "Such futility!" is a combo breaker which also activates Erasing Time, while moving Diavolo away from the opponent; this makes it impossible to combo from this move, but since Diavolo is still at advantage, he may be able to punish them if their move has enough recovery. Diavolo's aforementioned HHA puts him into an install where he will automatically Stylish Evade the opponent as long as he is not running, attacking, or jumping. Lastly, "Pinnacle of Eternity" is an extremely damaging GHA counterattack that can instantly turn the tide of a match, sometimes ending it outright.
- King Crimson: All of Diavolo's attacks involve his Stand.
- Erasing Time: When using certain moves, Diavolo can freeze the screen for a moment before putting himself at frame advantage.
- I've eliminated 0.5 seconds!: Diavolo's dashes carry several unique properties, such as invincibility after startup and not being cancelable under normal conditions.
Diavolo is a Stand character who predicts his opponent's attacks and punishes them for their actions. | |

Erasing Time
The activation of "Such futility!" and "Time has been erased..." trigger Erasing Time, a passive ability which freezes both characters in place for a moment before resuming the fight with Diavolo at advantage.
- With "Such futility!", it is used to create space between himself and the opponent, as it is a combo breaker.
- With "Time has been erased...", it is used as an offensive counterattack, guaranteeing a punish regardless of the attack countered due to being put at advantage by default.
The ability has no effect when used against Giorno with Gold Experience Requiem active.
