Arena gimmicks are not the only fun references in . On the contrary, each stage has an additional easter egg called Dramatic Finishes. If you'ꦦve ever played Dragon Ball FighterZ, you've witnessed a similar Dramatic ෴Finish feature.

Dramatic Finishes are unique cutscenes that occur after a match gets decided. Each Dramatic Finish references iconic scenes from JJBA. For instance, Morioh Town's Dramatic FInish features the haunted alleyway from Diam🦄ond Is Unbreakable. Another Dramatic Finish on Cairo Bridge recreates DIO's iconic steamroller attack. There are plenty more Dramatic Finishes where that came from, but each requires specif𒁏ic conditions to activate.

Updated December 16th, 2022, by Chris Sanfilippo: ASBR's latest free DLC patch revives a classic stage from the original game, the Kennedy Space Center, just in time for the Netflix premiere of Stone Ocean's finale arc! So, of course, we had to add this stage's Dramatic Finish details to our guide.

How To Perform A Dramatic Finish

Performing a Dramatic Finish is a straightforward task. All the player must do is meet two condition⛦s:

1. The player must win the match-determining round with a Heart Heat Attack or Great Heart Attack.
2. The finishing attack must face a specific direction of the arena.

Activating each stage's Dramatic Finish earns two game achievements, listed in the table below:

Achievement	Condition
