Summary[]

King Crimson: Alternate Universe, often shortened to KCAU, is the non-canonical version of King Crimson that appears in the light novel: Jorge Joestar, a non-canon story in the JoJo universe. Due to the fact that this stand is non-canon, its movesets, appearance, models and voicelines are all original, inspired or taken from other different sources. This Stand also has a shiny counterpart: Sans Crimson: Alternate Universe.

King Crimson: Alternate Universe's main abilities consist of different punches and strikes, all of which deal a high amount of damage. It also has a sub-stand named Epitaph, which grants the user immunity to most stand abilities and moves when activated.

This stand is a part of the Arrow Stand Pool, in which it has a 0.4% chance (S-Tier percentage) of obtaining from a Stand Arrow. As for its Shiny version, Sans Crimson: Alternate Universe has a ~0.07% chance (S+ Tier percentage) of obtaining it from the use of a Stand Arrow.

Appearance[]

King Crimson: Alternate Universe is a humanoid stand, with its upper body covered by a raised diagonal grid; same for its face, neck, shoulder guards, elbows, hands, abdomen, crotch, knees, and feet/footwear.

Its eyes comprise of sharp orifices of a steep inward slant; from which emerge small, round eyes. Its crown is flat and from its forehead emerges a raised level that bears a smaller, oval face of the same expression.

The aforementioned second face on King Crimson's forehead is named Epitaph. Epitaph presents itself as a bump on the forehead featuring eyes and a mouth, often mimicking King Crimson's current mood.

Sans Crimson's appearence resembles its normal counterpart very similarly, with a few modifications to the color scheme and a different face and epitaph textures.

Movesets/Abilities

Key Name Description Damage Cooldown
Ekey
Mighty Blow King Crimson: Alternate Universe uses its left arm to pound the enemy with a potent punch. This attack deals a moderate amount of damage while dealing good knockback and ragdolling the enemy.
Moderate Strength
27.5 damage
5 seconds
R
Severing Chop Rush King Crimson: Alternate Universe turns its original counterpart's Severing Chop into a rush attack of three fast chops, which deal decreasing damage each time.
Moderate Strength
25, 20, 15 damage
5 seconds
T
Future Sight King Crimson: Alternate Universe uses Epitaph to predict the next 10 seconds of time. The user uses this to dodge incoming attacks accordingly except the Over Heaven Stands' T moves, GER's R move and surprisingly, KQ/BTD's bombs. The user cannot attack during this period. To disable this before the 10 seconds duration, press T again. This can be used to surprise enemies.
No Damage
N/A
15 seconds
Y
Heart Strike King Crimson: Alternate Universe uses its left arm to grab the target, impaling their heart with an incredibly powerful punch that deals superior damage. Then, KC:AU throws the enemy away.

Note: you can't use Y while you are in F (Alternate Time Erasure) and it can not be dodged by rolling.

Superior Strength
40 damage
12 seconds
F
Alternate Time Erasure King Crimson: Alternate Universe erases time for up to 5 seconds. Although it can't erase much time as the original King Crimson can, it is able to attack opponents during this short period. The attacks don't deal damage, however, until your Time Erasure ends. However, using your E will ragdoll them. This can be easily avoided by guarding. Or just running. Or countering.

Note: This move can be canceled by Gold Experience Requiem's Return To Zero ability (RTZ).

No Damage
N/A
20 seconds
Gkey
Brutal Kick
King Crimson: Alternate Universe uses its right leg to kick the opponent for a great amount of damage. This move sends the target flying up in the air then falling down to a ragdoll state. This move is also very good for starting combos.
Superior Strength
30 damage
5 seconds
H
Mighty Thrust
King Crimson focuses its strength into its left fist, then thrusts it into the opponent's torso, dealing a superior amount of damage.
Superior Strength
50 damage
15 seconds
C
Evasive Slide Rather than just rolling on the floor, King Crimson: Alternate Universe's user slides forwards. It has a larger travel distance than a roll and has a slightly shorter cooldown.

Note:You can use this move without the Stand out.

No Damage
N/A
3 seconds
Zkey
Stand Propulsion King Crimson: Alternate Universe uses its legs to blast itself and the user forward. This type of stand jump is similar to Gold Experience Requiem's (before it's rework), in that it has lower vertical and higher horizontal distance. However, it isn't as strong.
No Damage

Battle Strategies:[]

General Combat Knowledge:[]

King Crimson: Alternate Universe is capable of providing constant offensive pressure against any opponent, thanks to its extraordinarily high maneuverability and damage output, while also providing even defense with Epitaph (T) and Time Erase (F)

While lacking any ranged moves and having rather poor durability, this is balanced out by KC:AU's potential to straight up avoid damage while keeping up with an opponent, notably via KC:AU's most unique move, its Slide (C). Having a lower cool down than a roll, users are able to quickly avoid damage at crucial times, or suddenly close on on an opponent while dodging almost anything the opponent throws back, usually in a literal sense. KC:AU's Stand Propulsion (Z) also covers much more horizontal distance compared to other Stand Jumps.

If a KC:AU user is on low health and wishes to finish off their opponent quickly, Alternate Time Erasure (F) allows them to attack their opponents without any repercussions, as the ability makes users completely immune to most damaging moves, while granting them a speed boost and invisibility. Alternatively, Future Sight/Epitaph (T) also gives users temporary invincibility, minus the ability to use damaging moves. However, this can be toggled off any time during its activation, allowing for surprise attacks. Wearing sunglasses on your Roblox avatar makes your opponents not know if you cancelled your (T) or not.

Regarding KC:AU's offensive moves, Heart Strike (Y) is most punishing, allowing you to immobilize, throw and stun- lock your opponent, creating windows for combo opportunities. Both Mighty Blow (E) and Severing Chop Rush (R) deal an impressive amount of damage; While (E) ragdolls an opponent, (R) does not.

Technicalities:[]

KC:AU's Slide and Stand Propulsion allows you to either get into battle or away from battle quickly no matter in what kind of situation you are in. This is used to keep your opponent on their edge constantly as with the slide you can easily catch up to them or use a quick attack giving the opponent little time to react to. KC:AU's moveset may be small but can be used to deal a tremendous amount of damage in a short amount of time. This especially includes a move called Heart Strike. Heart Strike is the best move that is in KC:AU's attacking moveset which grabs the opponent and deals an amazing amount of damage to them without allowing them to use any moves. Heart Strike also cancels the enemy barrage and ignores Block.

Moving onward, another great attacking move is the Severing Chop Rush that does a total of 3 chops that deal a good amount of damage per block that doesn't slow you down unlike a barrage which most stands have. And finally, KC:AU's Defensive moves include Future Sight and Alternate Time Erasure. Epitaph allows you to ignore the damage for a long period of time allowing you to run or trick your opponents into using their moves, and Alternate Time Erasure allows both Defensive and Offensive pressure as it forces your opponents to not see you while you can still use your Mighty Blow and Severing Chop Rush without Repercussion.

Counters:[]

The main counter to KC:AU includes Gold Experience Requiem as it can use its passive ability to counteract your Time Erasure, as well as Gold Experience Requiem's glide giving great speed. And it's two ranged abilities countering your weakness to ranged moves. Another strong counter is The World: Over Heaven as their Reality-Warping Knife and Reality-Shattering Bolt can keep the range between you and the opponent. However, you can easily get to them by using Z and C.

Trivia:[]

  • Voice lines: ā€Well, that will do for now..." and "I shall take care that this victory does not lead to futures of defeats."
  • The Diavolo of this universe does not seem to be a villain or own a gang and is a core ally instead. He is supposedly more like an unprovoked Vinegar Doppio in personality.
  • The voicelines of this Stand are sourced from Amakusa Shirou of Fate/Grand Order, voiced by Kōki Uchiyama.
  • When posing, it plays the song "Epitaph" by King Crimson.
  • King Crimson: Alternate Universe is stronger based on stats to its counterpart.
  • If someone stops time while you're using Time Erasure, the screen will gain a strange inverted saturation hue, quite similar to Shadow The World's moves. But red.
  • King Crimson: Alternate Universe had King Crimson's stats, A A E. Then it got changed to different stats.
  • Heart Strike can bypass anything, even Killer Queen's Sheer Heart Attack (pre-rework).
  • Despite having better stats than the normal KC, the majority of the community still thinks KC is better in PVP for its heavy combo potential and touch of death combos.
  • King Crimson: Alternate Universe is often shortened to KCAU for simplicity sakes.
  • King Crimson: Alternate Universe shouts different voice lines, such as ā€œHa!ā€, ā€œHere I come!ā€, ā€œTa!ā€ and ā€œSei!ā€ when performing different moves.
  • Heart Strike has a terrible hitbox, try to use the move when enemies are ragdolled, otherwise it will be a punish.
  • Heart Strike can also be used to take someone out of a barrage making it a great option for punishing.
  • When KCAU was released, Time Erase used to do instant damage while attacking in it.
  • Another Roblox JoJo game, A Universal Time, has a version of KCAU converted into a usable stand. However it only briefly existed in the old universe and only had the 3 attacking moves. Fortunately it's still in the files for old uncopylocked versions of AUT if you do want to use it.
