Among the things needed to make a video game, you need a list of moves that your character can use during matches. These are what I imagine the types of moves Diago would use in a fighting game.
Honestly, this list took some thought. Usually when I depict Diago fighting I show him taking advantage of the environment or otherwise using his opponent's own strengths against them. That's not something you can do in these types of games, though. So instead I decided I should focus more on the manner and style Diago has when he fights and this tends to show up in his attitude.

I wanted to depict Diago in a casual or otherwise bored state. His moves are simple, yet brutal (almost bully-ish at times) and to the point. Almost as if he wants to get the fight over and move on.

So here we have it.
Diago's Move List:

Uppercut: A classic move. This punch would throw his opponent into the air, opening them up to possible aerial attacks.

Have a Drink: Diago is known for his drinking habits, so it stands to reason he'd have some empties laying around. This would be one of Diago's few ranged attacks.

Leg Yanker: This was a fun move Diago used on X42 about a year back and it got a bit of love. Everything about it looks painful as Diago grabs his opponent by the leg and slams them into the ground face first.

Nutcracker: Diago gets a little personal with some of these. This move would simotaniously reduce health while momentarily paralyzing his male opponents, but simply reduce health from the female ones.

Donkey Kick: Gotta get some kicking moves in there. Probably a move he would do when his opponent is behind him, Diago delivers a fully committed backwards kick to the gut, sending his opponent flying across the arena.

Headlock: Another grappling move. Not satisfied with the simply annoying "noogie", Diago holds his opponent's head in one arm and unleashes his inner bully with repeated punches to their face until they can wrestle out of his grasp.

Dodge: Another tactic Diago likes to use is keeping his opponent guessing by doing unpredictable things. Why block an attack and take half damage when you can dodge the whole thing and open them up to a counter attack? The down side to this move would be if it isn't timed right, Diago would take full damage.

Body Slam: We've all seen Wrestlemania. This classic move is a done in the air, packs a real wallop, and is a real crowd-pleaser.

The Money Shot: There's no denying Diago has a big libido. And with all the practice he puts in, it should be no surprise that his pelvis has become a deadly weapon. That's why for Diago's finishing move he forgoes the flashy, showy moves and simply beats them into submission with one powerful thrust of his mighty hips. Scary. Yet satisfying.

Pour One Out: Many fighting games end with the winner preforming some kind of victory pose. That's why I decided to include one at the end here. In his final moments, Diago pays respect to the fallen before taking a swig for himself.
