Bizarre JoJo Stands

Your next line is: "A Stand mod for ROUNDS?!"

Pierce yourself with the Arrow and awaken one of 38 Stands from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Parts 3 to 8. Your Stand floats at your shoulder, throws its barrage when you block, and has its own set of abilities. Stop time with Star Platinum, erase it with King Crimson, plant bombs with Killer Queen, or gather the Saint's corpse until D4C reaches Love Train.

Features

• 38 Stands: 26 you can awaken and 12 more reached by evolving. Each has a block move and three abilities; The World and The World Over Heaven have a fourth.
• Your Stand fights for you. Getting a Stand puts your gun away, and the fire button throws Stand punches. Gun cards still upgrade the punches, and C brings the gun back.
• Stand Arrow, Requiem Arrow, Saint's Corpse Part and Rokakaka cards to awaken, evolve or lose your Stand. Stand cards never clutter normal picks.
• Evolutions: Gold Experience Requiem, Echoes Acts 1–3, Tusk Acts 1–4, Chariot Requiem, Bites the Dust, C-Moon, Made in Heaven, The World Over Heaven, D4C Love Train.
• Stand parameter cards: Power, Speed, Range, Durability and Precision, graded E to A like in the series.
• Canon interactions: Star Platinum and The World move in each other's stopped time, King Crimson skips it, Whitesnake steals Stand discs, and The World Over Heaven punches bullets back.
• Presentation: original card art and Stand sprites for every Stand, synthesized sound effects, menacing ゴゴゴ, time-stop colour shifts, an ability HUD and a hint card when your Stand awakens.
• Online play: works in multiplayer, and gameplay settings follow the host.
• Configurable: rebind keys, switch individual Stands off, scale damage and cooldowns, allow multiple Stands.

Controls

Each Stand floats at your shoulder and has four moves (The World and The World Over Heaven have a fifth):

Getting a Stand puts your gun away: it's hidden and the fire button throws a quick Stand punch instead (hold it to keep punching). Press C to take the gun out, and again to put it away. Sex Pistols, Aerosmith and The Emperor keep the gun out.

Gun cards still count with the gun away:

Your abilities, cooldowns and Stand parameter grades (E to A) show in the bottom-right corner, and when a Stand awakens, a card names what every button does.

Getting a Stand

Stand cards never show up in normal picks. Instead:

• Stand Arrow (Common, only while you have no Stand): awakens a random Stand. Rare Stands come up half as often as Uncommon ones.
• Requiem Arrow (Rare, only when your Stand can evolve): evolves your Stand one step.
• Saint's Corpse Part (Rare, only when your Stand can use one): evolves The World, Tusk or D4C one step (+20% health).
• Rokakaka (Uncommon, only while you have a Stand): takes your Stand away (+20% health); the Stand Arrow can show up again.

Evolutions (Requiem Arrow, one step per arrow)

• Gold Experience → Gold Experience Requiem
• Echoes Act 1 → Echoes Act 2 → Echoes Act 3
• Silver Chariot → Chariot Requiem
• Killer Queen → Killer Queen: Bites the Dust
• Whitesnake → C-Moon → Made in Heaven

Saint's Corpse Part (one step per part)

• The World → The World Over Heaven
• Tusk Act 1 → Tusk Act 2 → Tusk Act 3 → Tusk Act 4
• D4C → D4C Love Train

Stand parameters

Once you have a Stand, five parameter cards can show up. Each raises one grade (E, D, C, B, A; up to four picks):

Stand interactions

• Time stop: enemies and their bullets freeze. Your own bullets and projectiles fly a short way, then hang until time moves again; knockback on frozen enemies lands when time restarts.
• Star Platinum and The World (Over Heaven too) can move in each other's stopped time.
• King Crimson skips stopped time: an erased King Crimson isn't frozen, and erasing time while frozen breaks free.
• Whitesnake can steal any Stand's disc, shutting it down for a while.
• Punches and barrages shove boxes and damage destructible map objects, the same way bullets do.
• Stand projectiles stop on walls, floors and anything your bullets would hit (boxes too); knives stick in for a moment. Only Tusk Act 4's Infinite Rotation goes through.
• Sex Pistols and The Emperor make your bullets curve toward enemies. Purple Haze's virus hurts everyone but you, teammates included.

Settings

Edit them from your mod manager's config editor (com.kpcnre.rounds.bizarrejojostands.cfg).

• Controls: the four ability keys and the gun key.
• Presentation (yours alone): sound volume, the ability HUD, awakening hints, cooldowns above the Stand, menacing ゴゴゴ, time-stop colours.
