ASBR Josuke8 title call.png

Josuke Higashikata (東方 定助, Higashikata Jōsuke), referred to in the game's localization as "Josuke Higashikata 8", was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]

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.

Mitsuaki Madono reprises his role from the original All-Star Battle. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Josuke were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay

Despite All-Star Battle R releasing just over a year after the conclusion of JoJolion, Josuke has gained no new features. His moveset is still inspired by the first three volumes of Part 8's story, with only minor design and balance changes to his skillset to accompany his transition into the updated rerelease. Thus there is little to say outside of mirroring his All-Star Battle gameplay info.

Of the new system mechanics introduced is his assist. For his Assault Assist, Josuke performs "So slippery!". Due to starting off as a sweep, it can be a useful move whilst performing a mid/high combo as a mix-up, or used to apply pressure onto the opponent for the player to run up and perform a standard Throw or command Throw. However, like with other assists, the opponent can easily escape a situation of this nature via their own Reversal Assist. The low damage of the assist also makes it less desirable over ones such as Jotaro or Giorno's, given as other Assault Assists deal around 100 damage, whilst Josuke's does 30.

For a more in-depth look at Josuke's gameplay, check his All-Star Battle page. Taken purely as an assist, Josuke 8's main trait is it being a low-hitting sweep that strikes several times, allowing for combo follow-ups or mixups. Otherwise, it is greatly overshadowed by other assists in damage and viability.
