JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Diego Brando
Introduction
- This article is about Diego Brando's base incarnation, primarily known as "Diego". For information about his alternate incarnation, see Alternate World Diego.
Diego Brando, a primary antagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run, is a genius British jockey who collects Holy Corpse parts around the stage to augment his offensive and defensive capabilities. Diego exhibits potent rushdown tools with his ability to transform either partially or wholly into a dinosaur through Scary Monsters.
For offense, Diego has "My speed is supreme." and "You hesitated!": two mid-range pokes, "Useless, useless!": an air OK overhead with lower-body invul, a safe blockstring ender and scramble tool with 236L, Aerial Chain Beat, and the ability to end all of his combos in an oki setup with "Dinosaurs!".
For defense, Diego has his HHA, which grants him super armor during its duration, and "Gouge" and "Useless, useless!", "Gouge" being able to high profile certain moves, and "Useless, useless!" possessing lower-body invul. With 2 Holy Corpse parts, these two moves gain full-body invul.
- Mounted: While atop Silver Bullet, all of Diego's attacks deal Chip Damage, and he cannot be affected by the Bind and Crumple effects. This comes at the cost of losing access to Stylish Evade, Stylish Guard, and Throw.
- Holy Corpse Parts: Diego can collect Holy Corpse parts, receiving different blessings with each part obtained.
- Aerial Chain Beat: Diego can chain his jumping normals, giving him solid mix-up potential.
- Scary Monsters: Diego has the ability to turn into a dinosaur for a limited amount of time, drastically changing his kit and giving him unlimited Super Armor.
Diego Brando is a Mounted character who collects Holy Corpse parts in order to smother the opponent with straightforward but difficult-to-contest rushdown. | |
Pros | Cons |

|
Holy Corpse
Owing to his status as a Steel Ball Run character, whenever Diego is one of the combatants, 3 parts of the Holy Corpse will spawn over time around the stage. Diego can collect these parts by crouching on top of them while Dismounted. Each part collected is carried over between rounds and provides Diego with a buff that lasts until he is hit by a Hard Knockdown, which drops the most recent part collected. Only 3 Corpse parts will spawn during the match, so if two Steel Ball Run characters (Johnny, Gyro, another Diego, AW Diego, or Valentine) happen to face each other, they'll be forced to fight for them.
For Diego, the buffs applied are the following:
- One: Diego gains access to "Are you ready?!".
- Two: All of Diego's special moves are enhanced:
- Both versions of "Gouge" gain more HH Gauge, along with full-body invul.
- "Are you ready?!" gains increased damage, as well as increased launch height.
- All versions of "Useless, useless!" gain full-body invul.
- All versions of "Dinosaurs!" gain increased damage.
- As Scary Monsters, "USHAAAAAAAA!" and "Above you!" gain increased damage.
- Three: Diego's overall HH Gauge gain is increased.
