Johnny Joestar (ジョニィ・ジョースター, Jonyi Jōsutā) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was featured as 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo on August 5.[3]
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
Yuki Kaji reprises his role from the original All-Star Battle, in addition to his new role as Koichi Hirose. For the most part, voice lines for Johnny were reused from the original All-Star Battle. However, some brand-new voice lines were added that weren't in the original game.
Johnny has 950 health and uses the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) Battle Style, which allows him to freely mount and dismount his horse, Slow Dancer, dynamically changing his moveset in the process. In addition, as a Stand user, Johnny is able to make use of his Stand Tusk both on and off his horse.
As a Steel Ball Run character, three parts of the Saint's Corpse will slowly appear on the ground as Johnny fights. He can pick up these parts to receive progressively better blessings that can boost his performance in combat. If Johnny battles Gyro Zeppeli, Diego Brando, Parallel World Diego, Funny Valentine, or another Johnny, both combatants will have to fight over the same three parts.
Johnny can summon his horse, Slow Dancer, to mount it, or dismount and send it away, shifting his movement and available abilities. Slow Dancer improves his mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Johnny's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted.
If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Johnny mounts Slow Dancer much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Johnny's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

ON GROUND
Johnny spins his nails and forces his lower body off the ground, temporarily 'wheeling' himself forward or backwards. If the opponent is hit, they are knocked into the air. Johnny can cancel this attack into skills, even when whiffed. However, it cannot be canceled into 'Quick Mount'.
Attack type: High Damage: 12 (normal) / 14 (one Saint's Corpse part)
Holy Corpse (聖なる遺体)
// while near Corpse Part
ON GROUND
Johnny receives a new blessing for every part of the Saint's Corpse he holds. If he is successfully knocked down, however, one Part is knocked away from him, and he loses the associated blessing.
The damage of all of Johnny's attacks is increased by ~20%.
All of Johnny's skills that use Nail Bullets gain Super Armor.
The rate at which Johnny's Heart Heat Gauge fills is increased.
Tusk's Growth (タスクの成長)
Automatically activates when HHA or GHA is used in Acts 1-3
When Johnny activates his HHA, his Tusk Level (shown by the words above his Heart Heat Gauge) will increase by one. This changes the moves Johnny has access to. Alternatively, when Johnny activates his GHA, Tusk will automatically be upgraded to Tusk ACT4, regardless of what his current level is.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)
Activates below 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Johnny falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

Johnny moves forward while spinning his nails as he swings upwards in a melee attack, knocking the opponent off their feet. The number of hits increases in order, but the greater the increase, the less distance forward Slow Dancer moves and the more vulnerable Johnny becomes. This move doubles as an anti-air and reversal.

ON GROUND
Using basic Spin energy, Johnny shoots off his nails like bullets in a salvo forward. The number of nail bullets Johnny shoots increases in order, but so does vulnerability. Unlike Tusk's later Acts, Johnny's basic nails are unlimited as his nails regrow instantly at this stage, but have poor damage and cannot be aimed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Johnny sends a narrow shockwave forward along the ground, knocking the opponent down on impact. The recovery decreases in order, but the shorter the recovery, the longer the startup.
Johnny attacks the opponent's lower body by spinning his nails and cutting them. His legs then spontaneously jolt to launch him into the air as he fires the nails downward.
Even if my Spin falters, I will never die! (回転は「穴」になっても死なないぞッ！！)
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
Imbuing the Golden Spin into a nail bullet, Johnny evolves Tusk into ACT2, before firing said nail into the ground. The hole generated by the nail bullet moves along the ground, homing towards the opponent and knocking them into the air if it connects. If Johnny is close enough to the opponent, the nail bullet he shoots into the ground can hit the opponent, dealing a small bit of damage and an additional hit.
Attack type: High (initial bullet) and Low (hole) Damage: 30 + 110 (140) (normal) / 36 + 132 (168) (one Saint's Corpse part)

DescriptionReferences
Johnny's GHA can only be performed while mounted, but will automatically summon Slow Dancer if inputted while unmounted. This GHA can be used when Johnny has Tusk at any ACT, and executing it will evolve it directly to ACT4 regardless if it succeeds or not.
Johnny launches off of Slow Dancer and fires a singular powerful nail bullet imbued with the power of the Complete Golden Spin Energy as ACT4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before ACT4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. ACT4 finishes by spinning and funneling itself into the hole created by the nail bullet. As its head appears from behind the opponent, the entrance of the Stand into their bodies generates a massive pink burst. Throughout Tusk's assault, Johnny calmly and quietly thanks Gyro.

Johnny fires a nail bullet into the ground and sticks his entire upper body into it. Another hole will then move along the ground, either forwards or backwards depending on the attack button inputted, before the rest of Johnny's body is sucked in. He will then reappear on the other side. The longer the button is held, the farther the hole will travel.
Light (): Johnny will appear forwards from his original position.
Medium (): Johnny will appear backwards from his original position.
Heavy (): Johnny will not move.
This skill is useful for quick traversal along the stage unmounted or simply for evasion, but has a delay before the hole begins to move, leaving Johnny's lower half open attack, though his hitbox is smaller than normal, making him harder to hit. It can be canceled at anytime during its animation by pressing , resulting in Johnny not moving.

Johnny's GHA can only be performed while mounted, but will automatically summon Slow Dancer if inputted while unmounted. This GHA can be used when Johnny has Tusk at any ACT, and executing it will evolve it directly to ACT4 regardless if it succeeds or not.
Johnny launches off of Slow Dancer and fires a singular powerful nail bullet imbued with the power of the Complete Golden Spin Energy as ACT4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before ACT4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. ACT4 finishes by spinning and funneling itself into the hole created by the nail bullet. As its head appears from behind the opponent, the entrance of the Stand into their bodies generates a massive pink burst. Throughout Tusk's assault, Johnny calmly and quietly thanks Gyro.

Slow Dancer attacks outward with its head while bending one of its front knees.
Attack type: High Damage: 8 (normal) / 9 (one Saint's Corpse part)
Standing Medium Attack
ON GROUND
Slow Dancer slides forward and Johnny throws a Spin imbued cork at a downward angle. This attack can hit up to three times depending on how close to the opponent Johnny and Slow Dancer are.
Johnny can summon his horse, Slow Dancer, to mount it, or dismount and send it away, shifting his movement and available abilities. Slow Dancer improves his mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Johnny's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted.
If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Johnny mounts Slow Dancer much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Johnny's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

Johnny fires into the ground, and the hole created by the nail bullet moves forward, homing towards the opponent and crumpling them if it connects. The speed and duration of the hole increases in order. The projectile cannot be reflected. If Johnny is close enough to the opponent, the nail bullet he shoots into the ground can hit the opponent, dealing a small bit of damage and an additional hit. (Flash Cancel comboable)

ON GROUNDWHEN DOWNED
Johnny fires a nail bullet into himself and sticks his forearm in the hole it creates. A second hole will begin quickly moving along the ground, until it reaches a set distance in front of the opponent, before Johnny's forearm appears from it and fires a Golden Spin Nail Bullet. If it hits, the opponent will be knocked off their feet. The variant is a feint and can be used regardless of if Johnny has any nail bullets available. The speed of the projectile decreases in order, but it is not a great decrease. The skill can be canceled at any time during its animation with . This skill consumes two Golden Spin Nail Bullets per use; One to create the hole, and a second to fire in the actual attack. The attack cannot be used if Johnny has no more than a single nail left.

The whole HHA does not have to hit in order for it to work; If the opponent is struck, even by just the last punch, they will be knocked to the ground as Tusk ACT4 follows up by pummeling them as they lay. This HHA will remain after Tusk evolves to ACT4, being Johnny's final and highest-damaging HHA.

DescriptionReferences
Johnny's GHA can only be performed while mounted, but will automatically summon Slow Dancer if inputted while unmounted. This GHA can be used when Johnny has Tusk at any ACT, and executing it will evolve it directly to ACT4 regardless if it succeeds or not.
Johnny launches off of Slow Dancer and fires a singular powerful nail bullet imbued with the power of the Complete Golden Spin Energy as ACT4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before ACT4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. ACT4 finishes by spinning and funneling itself into the hole created by the nail bullet. As its head appears from behind the opponent, the entrance of the Stand into their bodies generates a massive pink burst. Throughout Tusk's assault, Johnny calmly and quietly thanks Gyro.
Attack type: High Damage: 319 (normal) 329 (one Saint's Corpse part) / 382 (normal) 394 (one Saint's Corpse part) / 478 (normal) 493 (one Saint's Corpse part) (depending on HH gauge)

Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト)
ON GROUND
A three-stock asssit. Johnny crawls out of a hole in the ground before shooting the ground. The hole his nail bullet creates moves forward, homing towards the opponent and crumpling them if it connects. He then poses before shooting himself with another nail bullet and falling into the hole on the ground that appears.
Attack type: High Damage: 45
Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト)
ON GROUND
A one-stock assist. Johnny wheels on screen using his spinning nails to move. He continues across the ground until he reaches the edge of the screen. If he hits the opponent, he'll knock them away. He then poses before shooting himself with another nail bullet and falling into the hole on the ground that appears. Because Johnny does not jump into the stage from the top of the screen like all the other Reversal Assists, it's easy for this assist to whiff, making it less reliable than other characters' assists.
The entire animation for this move is faster than it was in All-Star Battle, making this move less punishable when whiffed. Johnny also moves slightly farther now.

ON GROUND
Johnny now always has a hitbox, meaning that if he hits the opponent, he will always do damage, regardless of the distance, unlike in All-Star Battle, where he had to be point-blank to deal damage. To go with this change, the opponent is now knocked into the air when hit instead of suffering normal hitstun. Additionally, Johnny can now cancel this attack into skills. However, that does not extend to other specials.

Johnny now moves forward when using this skill. The amount of hits, and therefore damage, now increases in order instead of always hitting three times for the same amount of damage. However, it's worth noting that both the and variants deal less hits and damage than they did in All-Star Battle. Only remains the same between the two games in this regard. When hit, the opponent is now launched higher as well. Because of this, it's more difficult to Flash Cancel combo off of. Furthermore, the variant no longer has invulnerability, and the and variants can no longer be Flash Canceled.

Special Interactions
When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Johnny's face contorts similarly to when he attempts to warn Gyro about Valentine approaching from behind him as he faces D-I-S-C-O.[4]
When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Johnny puts a hand to his face while supporting himself with his other, as he does after cactus needles shot by Mrs. Robinson pierce his face.[5]
When hit by Johnny's Great Heat Attack, "It was such a long, roundabout path...", Valentine attempts to protect himself with D4C Love Train, only for Tusk ACT4 to forcefully rip the dimensional wall open and fly through. A slow-motion close-up of Tusk punching D4C and Valentine in the face is also shown.
When summoned as an Assist by Gyro Zeppeli, Johnny calls out his ally's name.
Dialogue
Outside of All-Star Battle Mode, Johnny has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.

Johnny's theme is Tusk (牙, Tasuku), and can be unlocked in-game by landing the "I'll call them Tusks!" skill in All-Star Battle Mode's Johnny vs. Funny Valentine Boss Battle.
Its name is taken from the name of Johnny's Stand, Tusk.
The main protagonist of Part 7: Steel Ball Run. He is the user of the StandTusk, and a paraplegic. Johnny finds hope within the Spin technique and asks Gyro to teach it to him. He beats Valentine in the end, but is unfortunately defeated by a version of Diego from a parallel world and disqualified from the race. Afterward, he returns Gyro's corpse and horse to his hometown.
User of the Stand Tusk. Johnny is a paraplegic who wishes to learn Gyro's "Spin" technique. He beats Valentine in the end, only to be narrowly defeated by a parallel Diego. Eliminated from the race, he returns home with Gyro's corpse and his horse.
Johnny Joestar's Stand, which manifested due to the Devil's Palm's influence. It evolves in stages as Johnny learns lessons in the Spin from Gyro and grows spiritually, eventually gaining the ability to cross and attack through dimensional barriers.
Johnny Joestar's Stand, enacted due to the effects of Devil's Palm. It evolves at milestones in Johnny's own development, like when he learns the Spin from Gyro. Its final form is unhindered by dimensions when attacking.
A body split into nine parts: its heart, left arm, eyes, head, ears, spinal cord, right arm, torso, and legs. Each part bears miraculous power that allows it to fuse with the body of its holder, awaken Stand abilities, and even restore the use of a paraplegic's legs.
A body in nine parts: heart, left arm, eyes, head, ears, spinal cord, right arm, torso, and legs. By absorbing them, Stand abilities are unleashed which have miraculous effects, such as allowing paraplegics to walk again.
In commemoration of the release of Parallel World Diego as the 4th paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Steel Ball Run badges,[6] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[7] The badges in question contained the ASBR render images of Gyro Zeppeli, Parallel World Diego, and Johnny respectively.
The campaign started on June 16, 2023, and lasted until July 2 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:
However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.[7]
The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third-party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were announced sometime towards the end of July 2023. The gifts were delivered in mid-August 2023.[7]

Increased amount of pushback when move is guarded.
