In a similar fashion to what happened withUltimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3,Dragon Ball FighterZmight be experiencing its own modding revolution, as modder Kongmeng brought the game back to the spotlight via their DIO – Character Moveset Mod, which seemingly adds theJoJo’s Bizarre Adventurevillain as a playable character.
According to Kongmeng onthe mod’s page on GameBanana, the project took around a year to complete and makes use of manually tweaked versions of the Dio and The World models found inJojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle. In a comment, they also revealed that Dio’s gameplay, which is unique when compared to theDBFZcast, was inspired by versions of the character in bothAll-Star Battleand the fan-favoriteHeritage to the Future.
The mod will also allow players to browse through Dio’s ability list and take him to the field in two alternative costumes, Shadow Dio and High VoltaTge. Once the mod is installed, Dio will take Cell’s spot on the character selection screen. To add to that, following the overwhelmingly positive reception of the mod, Kongmeng revealed through X that they plan on creating even more characters.
Thanks everyone for the good reception towards my DBFZ DIO mod. I am happy that everyone wants me to continue to create more characters and I plan on doing so. I was suggested to open a Patreon, so if you would like to support me, that would be the place.
As recommended by its creator on the mod’s page, the best way to download and install the DIO – Character Moveset Mod can be done by using Tekka’s Unverum modding tool, as the movelist and alternative costumes will only work with it. You can download the modding tool by heading toits page on GameBanana.
Once the modding tool is ready, you will be able to get our chosen mod by selecting Dragon Ball FighterZ as your game of choice and then searching for it before downloading it. Following the download, simply head to Manage Mods and enable it to add Dio Brando to your game.
You can currently playDragon Ball FighterZon PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. If the mod inspired you to give it a go, you can also playJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle Ron the same platforms.
