DIO Joins Dragon Ball FighterZ: The Ultimate Crossover Mod Has Arrived

The fighting game community has seen countless memorable moments, but few are as extraordinary as what’s happening right now in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Thanks to the incredible work of modder Kongmeng, players can now unleash the power of DIO, the legendary villain from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, in the world of Dragon Ball. This is a mod that took a whole year to develop and is going to change the game in ways that remind one of the modding golden age of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

A Labor of Love and Technical Mastery

The making of this mod speaks volumes of technical excellence; it’s the fine sifting of DIO and The World models taken directly from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle and perfectly refined them for a smooth transition in DBFZ. Thus, it’s spectacular since DIO looks like nothing but his self yet wholly within the realm of DBFZ.

What really makes this mod stand out is its commitment to authenticity. Instead of just slapping a new skin on an existing character, Kongmeng has taken the time to create a unique moveset inspired by several JoJo games, including the popular Heritage to the Future and All-Star Battle. Those who choose DIO, who takes Cell’s place on the character select screen, will be using a fighting style that is completely original and separate from the rest of the DBFZ roster.

Above the Basic Version

The mod comes beyond and has not only included two more costumed versions: Shadow DIO, a mysterious outfit; and High Voltage variant, an electrifying alternative. These alternatives are not simple palette swaps but highly designed alternate looks that bring more options for the game.

Installing Your Path to Power

Getting DIO into your game is pretty straightforward, though it does require attention to detail. First, you will need to download Tekka’s Unverum modding tool from GameBanana. This tool is important because it is the only way to guarantee that the movelist and alternative costumes work properly.

Once you have Unverum installed, it’s a snap: just select Dragon Ball FighterZ as your game, search for the DIO mod, and flip the switch in the Manage Mods section. In mere minutes, you’ll be ready to unleash The World upon unsuspecting opponents.

The Future of DBFZ Modding

The overwhelming positive response to the DIO mod has inspired Kongmeng to continue expanding their modding horizons. Through social media, they’ve announced plans to create more character mods, potentially opening up a whole new era of crossover content for Dragon Ball FighterZ. For those interested in supporting this ongoing work, Kongmeng has established a Patreon page where fans can contribute to future developments.

Your Turn to Wield The World

While this fantastic mod is console exclusive to Dragon Ball FighterZ on the PC version, the standard game keeps fans of Dragon Ball hyped on each platform for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X/S, and even Nintendo Switch. For the fans of the mod itself, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R also has it available on each of those platforms.
