Joseph Joestar vs Avdol vs Kakyoin vs Polnareff

[Numbersguy]

Yeah, a battle royale between 4 of the 6 protagonists of Stardust Crusaders...

EVERYONE IS BLOODLUSTED

They fight on an egyptian city

Joseph Joestar Muhammad Avdol Noriaki Kakyoi Jean Pierre Polnareff

 

[Battlemania]

Jotaro is not in the fight....

 

[Numbersguy]

Jotaro doesn't participate

 

[Majin_Acolyte]

I'd vote for Avdol. His stand is extremely versatile and he's very good at adapting mid-battle.

 

[Battlemania]

My vote would go towards Joseph, due to him having more experience and is manipulative with his trickery.

 

[GreatestSin]

i go with kakyoin, he has themost tricks to use, but avdol with superhot flames will also be a hard person to defeat :/

i would say kakyoin if the fight is with tricks and hiding and strategy etc.

and avdol if the fight becomes one vs ones

 

[Numbersguy]

So far

Joseph: 1

Avdol: 2

Kakyoin: 1

 

[SomebodyData]

Gonna give it to Joesph because of his experience and being the only fighter with techniques that the others don't know about (Mainly Ripple Crackler), Purple Hermit helps him use his secret technique whenever it gets tough too

 

[Numbersguy]

Now...

Joseph: 2

Avdol: 2

Kakyoin: 1

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

Hmm...this is a tough one.

Avdol already defeated Polnareff in a one-on-one, but he might have a harder time adapting during a free for all. That said, he's an incredibly skilled fighter, and even his death was caused by giving his life to save Polnareff and Iggy as opposed to being straight up defeated in a battle.

However, Joseph is also incredibly skilled, and has years and years of practice. While old man Joseph may seem a bit incompetent compared to his younger self, he's still the same tactical genius who managed to outsmart super beings with thousands of years experience. Not to mention now he has a stand to make up for any slight loss of strength and skill he may have suffered. I think he'd really shine in a free for all.

Giving it to Old Man JoJo, with Avdol as a very close second.

 

[Numbersguy]

So, Joseph 3

Avdol 2

Kakyoin 1

 

[TISSG7Redgrave]

i feel like joseph is tactical enough to manuver and understand everyone's strength and weakness so he is possibly able to get the edge in the fight though everyone's biggest problem is silver chariot without the armor though avdol did win that was early on and they improved since then. Kakyoin can set traps but Joseph can use the traps against Kakyoin or trick all 3 of them to falling for it so i feel like joseph barely wins this with his intellect but it's hard as the other 3 are faster than Joseph's reaction really close fight

 

[Numbersguy]

Joseph: 4

Avdol: 2

Kakyoin: 1

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Does Polnareff get Requiem? If so, he wins without a doubt.

 

[TISSG7Redgrave]

big problem is that polnareff won't get requiem if he does its a stomp...

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Hmm...this is a tough one.
Avdol already defeated Polnareff in a one-on-one, but he might have a harder time adapting during a free for all.

I might add that Polnareff likely won't fall for the same trick again. He still undoubtedly goes first imo, as range and hax definitely seem to be a major factors in this fight. Still very close.

I can agree this is definitely a hard one, though. They're all roughly the same stat-wise, so it all boils down to raw abilities and the stats that are entirely subjective.

That being said, I believe Kakoin is smarter than Advol. Kakyoin was the one who has more consistently consistently displayed overwhelming battle intellect; considering the ways in which he defeated J Geil, Mannish Boy, and uncovered the secret of Dio's stand. Although Avdol can counter the Hierophant Barrier and deflect the 20m Emerald splash with ease, when everybody else would be fodderized by it.

However, going by Standard Battle Assumptions, Polnareff would stomp everyone with Requiem.

to be honest, requiem of chariot didnt really show that much battle ability, all it does is to switch souls and wander around

 

[TISSG7Redgrave]

no polneraff cannot activate SCR on his own only take out his armour which gives him higher speeds

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

I don't think Requiem even counts as being under Polnareff's control.

 

[Numbersguy]

Bump

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Either way, Polnareff dies first, no doubt. I wanna say Kakyoin wins out of bias, but Avdol could play around his hierophant barrier and 20m emerald splash easily. I vote for Avdol.

 

[KittBetelgeuse]

its sort of weird because this battle depends on who loses second.

taking into account polnareff would go down first:

if the next one is Avdol, Kakyoin wins because of better range and power.

If the next is Joseph, Avdol wins Through superior power.

If the Next is Kakyoin, it goes a bit hard but Id give it to Joseph due his superior human characteristics to Avdol, he could outsmart him and he can sacrifice his prostetic arm in a pinch or to land a hard hit on Avdol.

I think as an overall, Joseph is the one with most posibilities to come out of the fight winner.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I don't really see what everyone else sees in Joseph, nor do I remember his stand ever doing much combat wise.

Anything that Hermit Purple can do, Hierophant Green can do better several times over as far as range and power go, with Avdol being the only one who I could see countering the 20m Emerald splash + Hiero Barrier.

The thing with joseph is that hish superior stats come from Part II, and this combat is taking everything he did there, including Hamon techniques that he "forgot to use on part 3 because plot"

 

[GreatestSin]

^i think the age played a big role in his nerfed hamon usage...

I think it was more part of araki trying to just move away from the hamon in favor of the stand abilities.

 

[GreatestSin]

^that is a possible explanation too
