King Crimson

Summary:
King Crimson is the Stand of Diavolo, the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo. It has a sub-Stand Epitaph, which is primarily utilized by Doppio, Diavolo's alternative personality. The main ability of Epitaph is to predict the opponent's movement. To put it more simply, it allows the user to see the future. This stand is also the evolved version of the sub-stands King Crimson (Doppio) and Two Arm Doppio King Crimson.

You get this stand by using a Frog on Two Arm Doppio King Crimson. However, there is also a 1% chance of obtaining Manga King Crimson instead of regular King Crimson when a Frog is used on Two Arm Doppio King Crimson.

Appearance:
Very similar to The World because it is red. King Crimson is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to the user, but tends to look much bigger and taller. Its body is covered by a raised diagonal grid; save for its face, neck, shoulder guards, elbows, hands, abdomen, crotch, knees, and feet/footwear. Its eyes comprise sharp orifices of a steep inward slant; from which emerge small, round eyes without sclera, with pronounced eye sockets that have the same fragmented pupils. Its crown is flat and from its forehead emerges a raised level that bears a smaller, oval face of the same expression. In earlier depictions, there were two raised levels. It constantly bares its teeth through a small mouth.

The aforementioned second face on King Crimson's forehead is named Epitaph and is sometimes duplicated in the same position on the user's forehead. Epitaph presents itself as a bump on the forehead featuring eyes and a mouth constantly grinding its teeth, often mimicking King Crimson's current mood.

Befitting its name, King Crimson is depicted in all media featuring it as being primarily red, with the shade of red varying from work to work. It is depicted in all media as having lime green eyes. Its primary face and the grid on its body are either white or yellow, and its metallic body parts are usually portrayed as white or silvery. King Crimson's knuckles, ankle decorations, lower back, and the soles of its feet vary in color throughout its many appearances, being depicted as white, silver, gold, or emerald (with the aforementioned areas occasionally varying in color in a single depiction).

Work-in-Progress Moves:
'''H - "I, Diavolo, will reign as emperor!" '''

The user strikes a pose with King Crimson for up to 3 seconds. If the user is hit while posing, both themself and King Crimson will appear behind the enemy who touched them and strike them down. It also nullifies the damage that was supposed to be dealt to the user. And yes, this is similar to the Shadow’s AYRTSM.

Note: This move will soon replace the Mighty Thrust ability.

Evolved Forms:
(LMB + Monochromatic Sphere) - King Crimson (Black & White)

The user will thrust this mysterious object into the air (similar to diary), the player then is surrounded with an aura, and after a few seconds, it will ascend into a new stand: King Crimson (Black & White). While it changes the skin of the stand, it has no effect on stats and no added moves sets.

(LMB + Ender Pearl) - Ender Crimson (UNOBTAINABLE/DELETED)

The player used to be able to obtain "Ender Crimson" by using an Ender Pearl, however, Ender Crimson has been redesigned and is now King Crimson (Black & White) and the Ender Pearl is now, of course, the Monochromatic Sphere.

General Combat Knowledge:
Due to the fact that King Crimson's attacks are incredibly powerful, it can be used to easily end basically anyone, given that you run away when you need to and attack when it's ideal. The Brutal Kick move (Y) is very useful for beginning and ending combos, as it momentarily suspends the target in midair. Although its durability stat is E, it still has the equivalent of B in health.

Technicalities:
You shouldn't under any circumstances let your Future Sight (T) build dust over time. It can easily be used to save yourself in unfavorable situations or to approach your target safely(obviously unless you're against a gold experience requiem or over heaven stand, in which case the best idea is to just run for your life). To set up possible ambushes or assaults, you can use your Time Erasure (F) to traverse the land easily mostly without disruptions (again, if you're against a gold experience requiem you're basically screwed). Moving along, Erasure Shift is astoundingly useful for setting up potential attacks or literally just running. As aforementioned in the King Crimson stand page, (if you've read it) you can teleport through players (and small objects). This may or may not be useful, but I can see it being used to confuse the enemy for a short period of time, creating free space to throw another attack in, possibly ending the fight, right then and there. Time Erasure also allows you space to run away or lay the groundwork for surprise attacks. This move is great for escaping/avoiding fights to regain health. This move also allows you to use your J move. But if you attack during time erase, your time erase will be canceled. If your J move's cooldown is not over, you will only cancel your TE.

Combos:

 * R + Y + H.
 * E + R + Y + H.
 * F + J + R + Y + H.
 * Y + H + R + E + Y + R + E.
 * F + J + C + V + Y + H + V + R + E + Y + R.
 * Y + R + E + V + R + E.
 * R + E + V + Y + H.
 * R +Y + H + E (fastest possible combo with the shortest delay on animation).
 * Y + R + C + H + C and/or V to get to enemy + E + does god level damage.
 * Y + R + E + V + H.
 * R + V + Y + H + E.


 * Y + R + H + V + E


 * F + J + R + Y + H.


 * E + V + R + Y + H.
 * F + J + R + Y + H. R + Y + H + V + C + R + E.
 * Y + H + R + E + Y + R + E.
 * F + J + C + V + Y + H + V + R + E + Y + R.
 * Y + R + E + V + R + E.
 * R + Y + H + E (fastest possible combo with the shortest delay on animation).
 * Y + R + C + H + C and/or V to get to enemy + E (does god level damage)
 * Y + R + E + H + F + J + Y + R + E + Y + R + E + H + F ,+ J again but this time you will not strike a surprise attack with J. Instead you will cancel the TE and appear. You may use this to strike a whole combo on someone again. (Do remember that you must hit the J move in less than 5 seconds. Otherwise, it would take longer to TE again.)
 * Y + E + V + R + Any other move (A good move for instantly killing other KC users and lowers a GER to dark orange and possibly red. Only use if you are able to read your opponent's next strike. Use this as a punisher, basically.)
 * F + J + C + Y + H + V + E, you can use T instead of E, but its a nice combo to use a lot since they cant' escape. Pro tip: Use epitaph if they find a way to counter, then use Y no matter where you are in the combo, then resume after.
 * F + J + V + E + Y + R + H + E

Trivia:

 * Voicelines: to play voicelines press N. KC's voicelines are: "It's the results! It's only the results that remain in this world!" and "How will you move, when knowing I can see through everything?".
 * King Crimson was used to be obtainable from an Arrow way back from the old days, now you can obtain it from using a Frog on the 1 arm Doppio, then a Frog on 2 arms Doppio.
 * King Crimson's Time Erase used to have Bonus damage when you are trying to perform a surprise attack (From behind) and was later on removed from the game.
 * King Crimson is the best up-close stand in the game. However, it's the durability of E contradicts that. Use this stand wisely, or you might not have a good chance during fights.
 * This stand has the best combos in-game.
 * When dying, it will say “BAKANA!” ("Impossible!" in Japanese).
 * In the anime that was only one moment where KC showed signs of a barrage.
 * The stand's name is a reference to the band King Crimson, a progressive English rock band who also made the song "Epitaph", which is another reference to King Crimson's sub-stand.
 * After time-erase KC usually chops his foes to finish them off, but it became a doughnut move.
 * In 03/29/20 (MM/DD/YY), King Crimson and KC: AU got a new model.
 * During Time Erasure, it will also play Diavolo's theme. If your health is lower than half, the theme during TE will be replaced with "la Battaglia Finale" (The Final Battle).
 * The latest update lets you TE in TS and move around if you did it before the TS.
 * This stand can also use a Monochromatic Sphere to receive King Crimson (Black & White), also known as Oreo Crimson or OKC.
 * This stand is one of the best stands for farming, as it has a stand jump, a teleport (short but fast cooldown) and the time erase lets you see objects no matter how far you are.
 * You can use V to teleport inside a tree and in the Bulldozer.
 * When you'd pose, it will play Diavolo's Theme. This and other themes from poses were removed.
 * When using Time Erasure, make sure your chat bubble doesn't appear because it will make your location spoiled, making you vulnerable when trying to sneak up and attack someone.
 * If you have the New TE effect [true] in settings you might not be able to move through buildings.
 * Doing Time Erase(F) and Posing(G) will allow the user to move and pose.
 * Doing J during a pose(G) in Time Erase(F) will allow you to attack and move while posing.
 * If you use Time Erase (F) and once the 10 seconds ends (or if you just instantly end it), for some reason you go through the giant tree leaves when you jump onto them. (Collision will happen again if you reset, use a Fruit/Arrow/Mask or just die.)
