Let's try to stop misusing the term time erasure, because that's more like what a character in part 7 did. At most you can call his ability time jumping, and not even that, as several individual actions (cats going over giorno leaving marks) leave several effects during the "jumped time"

Fighting Diavolo is as easy as having two good close range stand users back to back.

You can refer to it however you want, but King Crimson definitively erases time. There are lots of subtleties in his ability that can't be explained away as simple memory erasing, like how Diavolo is immune to attacks while his ability is active or how he can defy fate. There's a reason they needed GER in order to beat Diavolo. Memory erasing is more like what a character in part 8 did, not King Crimson.
