I think the issue with this fight is the nature of his powers and the rules literally having to be rigged in his favor from the get go just for the sake of there even being an encounter. Like, this is "King of Fighters" not "King of Video Games". D'arby's power requires the opponent to play ball with him for it to even work which Yujiro wouldn't do. If the match played out as the OP stated originally with them just seeking each other out on a battlefield, Yujiro would just hunt him down and just OHKO him before he realized what was happening.

Like I could imagine something like D'arby VS Kaiji (which would be pretty fun now that I am thinking about it) or something but this doesn't work.

Imagine D'arby, but instead of having the opponent need to agree to the competition, he can just pull him into the contest. That was a very possible way for his power to be written, and it wasn't for minor reasons. If it were like this, nothing fundamental would change in his appearance in Jojo, and nothing fundamental would change about D'arby's character... so it shouldn't be egregious to have it be that here, so that his power actually makes sense in this context. We're not going "hey sherlock holmes really fucking likes uno so now this match is uno", we're just changing a small parameter of his established power. Like, if somebody was nominated who has powers that only work in a certain location, for the purposes of their match, it would be given that their powers can work (at least somewhere) in the arena. Otherwise it sucks and is boring. D'arby was placed into high tier assuming all of his opponents would have to beat him in a game, instead of being low-tier fodder because nobody is going to take him up on his challenge.

Ultimately, you just don't like D'arby's power. Tough. Them's the breaks
