People have the same response to him as you are describing solely on his own without any of DIO's bullshit.

Nah, DIO exudes that by presence alone, as well. Avdol specifically says that he wanted to basically devote himself to DIO just by talking to him in the streets and it took forewarning and all of his willpower to run away from the offer of "hey wanna be my friend and/or slave" asked casually by an attractive shirtless man. Like, prop up your buff anime dude, absolutely, but it's explicitly stated that DIO gets people to join him solely through charisma, and that his power is basically just a cherry on top that cements "don't forget you're here forever". If there would be anyone with resistance to this from sheer "sorry bro already sold my soul", it'd be DIO's gang of losers.

In the hypothetical environment of a fighting game, I don't really think it matters since Yujiro would basically be learning the game's best options. Plus, there's the very simple example of mix-ups: all D'arby has to do is ask "block high?" and depending on yes/no, can immediately react to the character in question. Anything supplementary would not really work, as even if Yujiro had above-human reflexes down to a single frame, input lag and the fact that things are at 60 FPS would limit his total ability. D'arby would essentially be fighting Omega Rugal, but he can figure out which way he's blocking all of the time to either get a guaranteed in or a throw. Not to mention D'arby could easily counterpick characters without Yujiro getting the chance to feel them out/learn and memorize their frame data. Doesn't matter how good at reactions you are if you pick SF2 Zangief, you're still gonna get bodied.
