Star Platinum: The World (2024)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 4 - Diamond is Unbreakable

"Upon closer inspection.. Good grief, what an ugly watch. But you won't have to worry about that anymore.. because your face is about to end up even uglier."

~Jotaro Kujo to Yoshikage Kira

Overview[]

Star Platinum: The World is an evolved Stand that takes on the appearance of its former evolution: Star Platinum. From the anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, SP:TW's design is that of Star Platinum but swapped with Brighter colors to fit the style of Part 4. (The gloves changed from black to white, while a big part of the skin is changed from purple to cyan.) SP:TW also has a noticeable increase in size compared to the non-requiem version. Despite overall nerfs to timestop, this stand is still considered to be very viable and is usually paired with Boxing and Hamon.

Total Skill Points: 70 Points

Skills[]

LMB - Punch: This short move with a short cooldown which deals 10.1 damage at max destructive power and can combo 5 times, ultimately dealing 50.5 damage if all punches hit (12.6 with Hamon, 11.6 with Combat Precision, 14.5 with both, massively dealing 72.5 damage.)

E - Stand Barrage: SP:TW moves in front of the user to release a flurry of fast punches while saying, "Ora." (1.7 damage per punch at max Destructive Power.)

R - Barrage Finisher: SP:TW moves in front of the user and throws a heavy ORA punch. (20.1 damage at max Destructive Power.)

T - Platinum Slam: SP:TW smashes the ground, dealing AoE damage and incredible knockback, stand-crashing anyone hit. This does around 24.4 damage and has a 25-second cooldown. This move block break and parriable

Y - Skull Crusher: If your mouse cursor is on somebody, SP:TW will Time Stop behind them and aim a punch towards their head, crushing their skull. Any person who's hit with this move can be damaged while they're ragdolled. This has a 30-second cooldown and can be blocked. (22.5 damage at max Destructive Power.)

H - The World: SP:TW stops time for a short span of time, and unlike its unevolved form, Star Platinum, it doesn't require a rage-meter. This has a 1-minute and 10-second cooldown. Every upgrade adds about 1 second to the time stop, and the max is 8 seconds. It also has a 50% damage cap.

J - Combat Precision: Similar to Rage Mode, Combat Precision is a self-buff, except it doesn't require a rage-bar. This move is similar to Gold Experience Requiem's Awakening. SP:TW yells, "ORAAA!" and his eyes start glowing light-blue while Jotaro's Theme/Stardust Crusaders plays. During this state, you're unable to be stand-crashed, and while blocking, all perfect-blockable attacks will automatically be perfect-blocked. Additionally, your walkspeed increases and your damage is buffed by 15%. Upon activation, the user will heal up for about 25 HP. At max upgrade, this move lasts for around 52 seconds, or 30.2 seconds with no upgrades. This has a 3-minute and 40-second cooldown.

C - Ora Beatdown: SP:TW will throw a punch, similar to a heavy punch, dealing 20.1 dmg. Upon which, he will perform another punch for 20.1 and then grab the opponent by the neck. The player then says Jotaro's signature line, "Yare Yare Daze" (good grief), and then SP:TW will punch twice, each dealing 10.1 dmg each. Lastly, he will barrage the opponent for 1.3 dmg per punch and finish it off with a punch that scales with how much health your opponent has left (Deals more damage against lower HP players). Jotaro's theme plays through the whole beatdown, which lasts about 10 seconds and deals around 105 damage in total (amplified with buffs such as Combat Precision and Hamon), which drains a significant portion of your health bar. It has a cool-down of 80 seconds. This move can be parried. This is an Execute move.

X - Ora Kicks: Star Platinum: The World sends out a flurry of high-damage kicks which can be upgraded to have higher damage and speed. This move is also shared with Star Platinum: The World's original form: Star Platinum. Ora Kicks deals 2.9 damage (per kick), 13.4 damage (final kick) at max Destructive Power. With max stand speed, this move almost comes out instantly and is hard to parry so it's a very reliable damage option.

Z - Time Skip: SP:TW uses their time-stopping ability to teleport a good distance to wherever your mouse is pointing. This has a 10-second cooldown.

Note: Star Platinum: The World is genuinely a great stand with fantastic offensive moves and above-average Destructive Power. Several of Star Platinum: The World's moveset however is perfect-blockable. This is the Achilles' heel for Star Platinum: The World when fighting against more competitively skilled players or those who know when and how to appropriately perfect block.

Trivia[]

• Star Platinum: The World has been known to cause major lag in the past, one cause was the beetle symbol which has since been removed.
• Stand Jump was removed and replaced with the Ora Kicks on December 9, 2020.
• Ora Beatdown was one of, if not the most powerful moves in the game when it was first released, dealing huge damage, almost oneshotting vitality X Boxing users.
• This Stand is used by the Jotaro Kujo NPC, arguably the strongest NPC in-game. The version that he wields has lower cooldowns, however.
• Star Platinum: The World Requiem was renamed to Star Platinum: The World on January 29, 2021.
• The old Combat Precision theme is Fate/Zero - The Battle Is To The Strong.. But as of 4/25/2021, the theme now has changed to Jotaro's Theme/Stardust Crusaders.
• Star Platinum: The World has a skin named Star Platinum: Stone Ocean skin based off of Shueisha's Part 6 Manga color pallete, that is achieved via 1-5% chance (10% chance through buying Requiem Arrow usage product) through a requiem arrow. However it later gained a remodel that uses the anime appearance.
• Unfortunately, compared to other games, YBA’s Star Platinum: The World does not have an iron bearing shot move, thus this stand is mainly only focused on close range, which is challenging should the opponent distant themselves while attacking at the same time.
• Skull Crusher is most likely based on Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable when Jotaro Kujo was in his first encounter with Yoshikage Kira, who attempts to kill the heavily injured jostar. To counteract this Jotaro Kujo stops time and "crushes" Yoshikage Kira's skull.
  • Ora Beatdown is based on Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable when Jotaro Kujo beats Yoshikage Kira right before Kira activates Bites The Dust.
• In-game, Star Platinum The World is slightly larger than all the other stands.
  • This trait is also shared by The World: Over Heaven.

• The final hit animation of Star Platinum and Star Platinum: The World's Ora Kicks has Star Platinum/Star Platinum: The World attack with their shoulder instead of another kick. This is probably based off the anime where Star Platinum kick barraged a stop sign and then turned around to counter The World's chop with it's elbow. The scene can be found here.
• Somehow, Platinum Slam's Parry Window is bugged (Sometimes, it delays making it hard to parry.)
• This stand is not actually called "Star Platinum: The World" in the anime or manga, it is still called Star Platinum, though in the Stone Ocean manga and anime , it is referred to as Star Platinum: The World. Many games refer to this Stand as Star Platinum: The World because it is generally easier to tell the difference, and because that is what Jotaro(the stand user) says before stopping time.
