Star Platinum: The World/Combos and Tips (2024)

Tips[]

• Try your best to Use M1s in TS to do a good amount of damage. Remember you can only do 50% damage in TS so try to just get as much damage as you can. As well as M1s, Ora kicks are good and Spin could also be a good thing for TS as you can use multiple projectiles while M1ing and Ora Kicking.
• Skull Crusher and Platinum Slam are NOT reliable options, as if you run into a good opponent, it's most likely to be parried/blocked. That being said though, Platinum Slam received a buff which decreases its windup speed, so against decent players it could work as a potential combo breaker or get-off-me tool. Don't use Y + T for the love of UzuKee.
• After perfect blocking someone's move, use 1 M1 then Ora Beatdown as they will be stunned by the perfect block and cannot perfect block your Ora Beatdown.
• Using Ora Beatdown on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap: Love Train with his love train activated would result in the D4C using your Ora beatdown on you or a random player in a 50 stud range, so it is best to use Time Stop and afterwards damage the D4C:LT in the Time Stop using M1s, or you can wait for the Love Train to run out and then beatdown. This same thing happens against Chariot Requiem's Your Own Shadow.
• Do not barrage in timestop, as it is wasting damage and is only useful for catching Time Resistance Stands as they cannot barrage back. Using M1s are more optimal for damage.
• You may not be able to use Ora Beatdown in your own Time Stop, but you can use Ora Beatdown in another player's Time Stop, making SP:TW good to be paired with another SP:TW or another Time Stopping stand.
• Use Time Skip after Multi Steel Balls to get close to use beatdown or any other close-range move.
• Boxing or Hamon are both preferred specs due to Hamon giving extra damage and Boxing making you "tanky".
• Time Stop Mastery could be a waste of points, due to the damage cap being easily achieved with M1's.
• If you get hit by a long stunning move like zoom punch, then barrage, if you stop barraging you won't be able to block because you are still stunned by the zoom punch. This gives the opponent free damage so be careful when you barrage. Also be weary because skilled players will block break you if they see you block after you barrage.
• While the previous tip is somewhat true, and that will work, against experienced players it will not. This is because if you hold F during a barrage you will block coming out of it and be able to parry.
• If a SPTW user barrages first, do not immediately barrage back as if they are a good player they will probably just withdraw instantly after they begin their barrage and use Ora kicks on you, putting your stand away, dealing a good amount of damage and wasting your barrage. If they are not a good player, or not as experienced, they will most likely try to do the full barrage. If this is the case, wait until they're near the end of their barrage before barraging back. Or, use a counter against the Ora kicks.
• Remember that SP:TW is NOT a combo-reliant stand, you can do just as much damage by doing simpler, easy to perform combos because of your already high destructive power which can be boosted even more with Hamon and/or Awakening.
• Despite the previous tip above is true, SP:TW, as well as a lot of other non-combo-reliant stands, relies on block breaks for their combo. So just because SP:TW doesn't have stun moves doesn't mean it can't combo.
• Please for the love of God stop using Platinum Slam if you already got parried, getting your Platinum Slam parried means that it will almost never work since the enemy is skilled enough to parry every single one. The only time you can use it is if you know they can't parry (Like using your Platinum Slam in the startup of knives from MiH/TW/TWAU/TWOH).
• If your enemy has a counter, refrain from being too aggressive as counter stands can completely shut down SP:TW's gameplan. It's aggressive kit doesn't do well against counters. Bait the counter out before you approach with a hard punish.
• If you plan on using Platinum Slam or Beatdown in neutral, try to hit them Time Skipping to their blind spot then activating the move there (try to switch it up when you use it cause if you use it immediately after time skipping they could catch on and time it to perfect block you)

Combos[]

Specless[]

• 5 M1s (Note: This is not a true combo but because of your high destructive power, this does alot of damage even if they block most of the M1s)

• E (Hold for a second or shorter near the end of your own stun) + X (Arguably your best combo escaper as it is both a true combo and ragdolls at the end)

• Y + T (Skull Crusher + Platinum Slam)

⬆️ DO NOT USE THIS UNLESS YOU'RE FIGHTING SOMEONE NEW. Y IS EASILY BLOCKED AND T CAN BE PERFECT BLOCKED. IT ISN'T EVEN TRUE!

• 1-4 M1s + Knuckle Sandwich + Jaw Breaker (Block Break) + 1-2 M1s + Liver Shot + Knuckle Sandwich + Ora Kicks
• Dash + Boxing Shuffle + Time Skip This is your burst of speed combo, use this to quickly traverse the Main Game map, Metal Ball Run, and sometimes even 1v1s.
