In a similar fashion to what happened with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Dragon Ball FighterZ might 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 the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure villain as a playable character.

According to Kongmeng on the 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 in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle. In a comment, they also revealed that Dio's gameplay, which is unique when compared to the DBFZ cast, was inspired by versions of the character in both All-Star Battle and the fan-favorite Heritage 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 pl?an on creating even more characters.
