DIO's ultimate goal, as far as I can tell, was to be in control of the world by continuously training The World's time stop to get longer and longer to the point that only he would exist in his world and everyone else would be under his control because nobody else would be able to move within stopped time.

Ah, so that's where Final Fantasy 8's writers cribbed that idea from.

Gold Experience is trying to learn Create Body Parts! But Gold Experience can only learn four moves. Delete a move for Create Body Parts?

-Turn Into Living Beings
>Reflect Damage
-MUDA MUDA MUDA
-Sick Posing

1...2...3...ゴ! Gold Experience forgot Reflect Damage! And...Gold Experience learned Create Body Parts!

Giorno had already deleted Life Energy Overload Punch at this point. Sick Posing can't be deleted.

Heritage for the Future is a 2D fighter from the 90s and it's by far the best Jojo game out of all them so far.

DIO was super-dead after Jotaro won. It's not like Jotaro was attacking DIO physically, he destroyed his stand directly. Since stands are basically your 'soul' destroying The World psychically annihilated him, which is also why his head pops like a cork from it. Destroying someones stand can be called 'true damage' in that it bypasses all other concerns.

DIO also says that if Polnareff had managed to destroy his brain he'd have actually killed him.

Yeah but his cells (or I guess Johnathan's former cells) were probably still vampiricly alive. They maybe couldn't become DIO again, but they could probably still function as vampire spores and do stuff like mutate Okuyasu's dad.

DIO would probably have regenerated given the time.
But also considering a "clean" head transplant took 100 years to get to where he was and he was shattered into chunks, it'd take a very long time.

But like we saw anyway, they only needed to defeat him long enough for the sun to come up.

Damn it, why it does need to remain only four bullets!?
DIO didn't use Space Ripper Stingy Eyes because Jotaro, Polnareff, and Joseph have already demonstrated that they can react to and deflect projectiles with the size and speed of a bullet. Space Ripper Stingy Eyes would have given him no tactical advantage and it wouldn't have made the fight more interesting either, but if anyone really wants to have a pointless scene where Dio shoots Space Ripper Stingy Eyes and Jotaro deflects it effortlessly, there's something like that in the Drama CD version.

DIO was still wary of ripple, and with all his stand power, he was still a regular rear end vampire that was probably less powerful in terms of regeneration than his peak in Phantom Blood since he was still adjusting to Jonathan's body. With ripple being able to travel through stands, The World pulls its punches when its about to hit Joseph since he covered himself with Hermit Purple pulsing ripple through it. DIO then opts for just kicking an entire chimney into Joseph.

I imagine there is also certain power output to the vampire powers as well. Straights mentions it took a lot out of him to pull himself together after being blown to bits. Can maybe think of it like fighting game super meter. Are you gonna spend meter on charging the eyeball lasers that a stand would probably block anyway? Or go for the time stop super?

Finally, I would imagine that had DIO won and beaten the Joestars, he'd just continue where he left off when Jonathan stopped him. He'd continue to gain power as a vampire, which would then continue to fuel his stand's power. He even thinks to himself that eventually he'd be able to stop time for as long as he pleases. On top of that, we know that Kars was able to experiment and evolve himself, so maybe DIO would start doing that again too, reaching Pillar man status and beyond.

Yeah, these two make the most sense. Dio realizes that if he fought :airquote:in Joseph's terms:airquote:, he was heading for the crapper, so he took that away from the old guy.

And hell, Joseph did the counter to the Space Ripper Stingy Eyes with way less training under his belt back in part 2 when he went against Straits. Part of what made Joseph such a fun character is that, when it was his turn to fight, he was all about the bullshitting, kind of like a Heel/Rudo in wrestling. :allears:

Oh I know of this one already all too well. I'm thinking more of something like a DBFZ treatment even if it's 2.5D because they've been doing a good job with that and GGXrd.

Nah, destroying a vampires brain can kill them and DIO's head exploded into pulpy chunks. After that happens a caption straight up says 'DIO and The World are dead.' DIO was only still alive after decapitation because his brain was fine. Remember that in JoJo's a vampire is only someone with their brains potential brought out by the stone mask.
