Throws
Pummel - Zi-O knees his opponent.
Forward - Zi-O does an uppercut slash with the Edge of Time.
Back - Zi-O kicks the foe behind him.
Up - Zi-O does an arcing overhead slash that knocks the opponent upwards.
Down - Zi-O slams the foe into the floor.
Neutral Special - Time Shot/Time Slash
The function of this move changes depending on if the Edge of Time is in Sword or Gun mode (see below).
- In Sword Mode, Zi-O charges up a powerful slash, much like Marth and Lucina's special move Shield Breaker. When the tip of the Edge of Time flashes, Zi-O dashes forward during the slash, and is capable of breaking shields but has lower overall shield damage.
- In Gun Mode, Zi-O can either fire multiple shots at once akin to Falco's version of Blaster, or charge up a stronger one akin to Samus's Charge Beam. The charge is retained until Zi-O fires, but will be lost if he switches weapon modes.
Side Special - Ride Striker
Zi-O jumps aboard his motorcycle and starts driving at high speeds. Like Wario's bike, the Ride Striker can turn, accelerate or decellerate and pull wheelies. Pressing B again will cause Zi-O to boost the Ride Striker forward, dealing extra knockback and damage. Zi-O can jump off or be knocked off the bike, but when that happens the Ride Striker demateralizes, so it cannot be used as an item afterwards. When that happens, Zi-O must wait a few seconds becore he can use this move again.
Up Special - Rider Kick
Zi-O does a long somersaulting jump through the air. The trajectory of this move can be altered slightly by pressing the control stick up or forward, causing Zi-O to jump either heigher or farther. Pressing B again causes Zi-O to do a powerful diving kick. If the kick strikes an enemy, then Zi-O will somersault up and away from the foe he kicked. If the kick strikes on the initial frame, it will knock foes downwards. In most respects, this resembles Zero Suit Samus's Flip Jump.
Down Special - Edge of Time
Zi-O changes his Edge of Time weapon between Sword and Gun modes. This changes the way his Neutral Special functions (see above)
Final Smash - All Rider Kick
"TIME BREAK!"
Kamen Rider Zi-O spins his Ziku Driver, creating a shockwave that knocks foes into the air. This leads to a cinematic where Zi-O, accompanied by the ninteen past Heisei Riders, performs a massive Rider Kick that strikes all the captured enemies. At a certain percentage threshold, All Rider Kick is an instant K.O.

Palutena's Guidance:
PIT: A walking watch?!
PALUTENA: That's Zi-O, Pit. The name literally means "King of Time".
PIT: Wait... this guy's a king? What's he even doing on the battlefield?!
VIRIDI: No, dummy! It's just a name! But an appropriate one, considering how his future self apparently ends up!
PALUTENA: Yes, sadly. In the future, this kind and gentle boy becomes the worst dictator the planet has ever known... Emperor Zi-O.
VIRIDI: Ah, the classic 'evil future self'. Never gets old!
PIT: But if somebody up and tells you you're gonna be evil, you're not gonna take it lying down, are you?
PALUTENA: Normally, we Gods don't allow people to meddle with the flow of time... but in this person's case, we're making an exception. Zi-O now travels through time, trying to learn how to be a hero and avert his fate.
PIT: I dunno... couldn't he just go meet his future self and tell him not to be evil?
PALUTENA: That doesn't fix the problem of him turning evil in the first place.
PIT: Then... why not go back and tell himself not to turn evil?
VIRIDI: Now you're just making a paradox!
PIT: Aaaargh! Time travel makes my head hurt!

Stage: Nightmare Future
Nightmare Future depicts the year 2068, where the evil Emperor Zi-O rules over humanity. This is a stage comparable to Pokémon Stadium. For the most part it remains a flat stage with two platforms, which players can utilize. However, unlike Pokémon Stadium, there are no drops initially, so players cannot fall off the stage into the Blast Zone. During gameplay, however, Emperor Zi-O, who stands in the background, uses his powers in combat with the resistance, altering the stage's shape. Players must be prepared for the new hazards that appear, such as cliffs, Danger Zones and pits.
On occasion, Emperor Zi-O appears on the stage and acts as a Stage Boss. Players can attack Emperor Zi-O, and he will respond with various attacks such as a charged Time Slash or Time Shot, redirecting missiles to strike the stage, creating surges of power or a powerful Rider Kick that engulfs the whole stage. The player who manages to defeat Emperor Zi-O is rewarded with the power to perform a Final Smash, making defeating Emperor Zi-O a huge priority.
If Zi-O is on the stage and uses his Final Smash, the states in the background crumble, transforming into the past Heisei Riders. They will jump into the air and assist Zi-O in performing his All Rider Kick Final Smash, before reverting back to statues.
