"When your opponent starts boasting, he's already lost."[2] (「相手が勝ち誇ったときそいつはすでに敗北している」)
ASBR Old Joseph title call.png
—Chapter 149: Empress, Part 4

Old Joseph Joestar (老ジョセフ・ジョースター, Rō Josefu Jōsutā) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]

Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, a few tweaks have been made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.

Old Joseph's voice actor, Unsho Ishizuka, reprises his role in this game, replacing Tomokazu Sugita. However, due to his passing in 2018, his voice lines were reused from Eyes of Heaven. As a result, some of his voice lines from the original All-Star Battle are not present.

Gameplay

Old Joseph has 950 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Hermit Purple, dynamically changing his moveset in the process. In addition, as a Ripple user, Old Joseph can use the "Ripple Breathing" special to charge his Heart Heat Gauge. He can also draw from his Heart Heat Gauge in order to perform Ripple-enhanced versions of his various skills, increasing their power and utility.

Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)

Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
Ripple Overdrive! (波紋疾走(オーバードライヴ)!!)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png or ASBS.png for ½ HH ON GROUND
Old Joseph slides forward to deliver a Ripple-infused overhead chop. The distance Old Joseph moves and the damage dealt increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. While this skill visually shows the Ripple being used, only the ASBS.png variant actually deals Ripple damage. (Flash Cancel comboable)
By spending half a stock of HH, Old Joseph can empower the skill, causing it to execute faster, move Old Joseph forward more, deal more damage, and crumple the opponent when hit. (Comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: ASBL.png 60 / ASBM.png 65 / ASBH.png 70 / ASBS.png 15 × 2 + 50 (80)

Expending one and a half stocks of the HHG, Old Joseph wraps Hermit Purple's Ripple-conducting vines around his torso to automatically protect himself while chuckling. While this ability is in effect, the next non-HHA/GHA Middle/High attack dealt to Old Joseph by the opponent will cause Hermit Purple to burst out of his shirt. If they are in range, the attack will shock them and push them away. (Comboable)
Unlike other counters, Old Joseph will not be protected from damage or hit effects while it is in effect. He is also vulnerable to Low attacks. However, it will trigger against projectiles, though it is possible for the opponent to avoid the counter attack due to it having a set range. If Old Joseph uses his HHA while this counter is active, the effect will be canceled.

Attack type: Counter (counter hit is Unblockable)
Damage: 55

Coal Tar (コールタール)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND TRAP
Old Joseph summons Hermit Purple to grab and bring a drum full of coal tar in from off-screen, before crushing it to spill the black liquid all over the floor. If the ASBM.png or ASBH.png variant is used, Old Joseph will move forward while swinging the drum forward. The drum itself has a hitbox and can hit the opponent as it's being swung in. If it hits the opponent, it hits twice, with the first hit knocking the opponent into the air while the second causes a hard knockdown. The distance forward Old Joseph moves and the damage dealt increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. (Flash Cancel comboable)

The coal tar puddle will remain for a set period as a trap that can make Old Joseph himself or his opponent slip and bounce off the ground if they step in it, dealing minor damage. This skill is a reference to his battle with Empress.

Panic isn't in my vocabulary (わしにはパニックという言葉はない)
ASBDPad7.png + ASBM.png ON GROUND IN AIR OK
Old Joseph uses Hermit Purple to grab the ceiling (regardless of whether or not the stage has a physical ceiling) and pull himself away from the opponent. He can cancel this special with his Jumping Heavy Attack, which will alter his momentum. If input on the ground, Old Joseph will perform a small jump and pull himself backward. This makes the special excellent for evasive purposes such as creating distance or escaping an opponent.
Fighting on the run! (逃げながらガンガン闘うッ!)
ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad4.png ON GROUND
Old Joseph turns around and runs away from his opponent.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)
Activates below 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Old Joseph 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.
Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
Now I gotcha! (捕まえたぞ)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png ON GROUND
Old Joseph sends Hermit Purple out at an upward angle as an anti-air attack, executing with great speed and range. If it connects, Old Joseph grabs the opponent with his Stand and forcefully slams them to the ground hard enough for them to bounce. This attack cannot hit standing or crouching opponents.

Attack type: High
Damage: 55

Hermit Purple! (隠者の紫(ハーミットパープル)」!)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBM.png ON GROUND

Attack type: High
Damage: 10 × 2 + 30 (50)

Solar Energy Ripple! (太陽のエネルギー「波紋」ッ!)
(During "Hermit Purple!") ASBDPad6.png + ASBS.png for ½ HH ON GROUND
Expending half of a stock of the HHG, Old Joseph follows up by wrapping Hermit Purple around the opponent as he then sends heavy Ripple pulses through it to shock them, leaving the opponent in a bound state momentarily before causing them to crumple to the ground. This skill deals more damage if the attack button is rapidly tapped. (Comboable)

Damage: 59 ~ 73 (depending on number of hits)

You gotta stand on your own! (ひとり立ちせんとなあ!!)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBH.png ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Old Joseph swings Hermit Purple at a low angle to strike the opponent. If it connects, he pulls the opponent towards him, causing them to crumple to the ground when they reach him. Notably, this skill is capable of 'picking up' a downed opponent by grabbing and forcing them back to their feet, crumpling them once more and leaving them open to more attacks. (Comboable)
While this skill normally hits multiple times, it only hits once if the opponent blocks it.

Attack type: Low
Damage: 30

Take a STAND for it! (こんな風なスタンド利用法もあるのじゃッ!)
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png (ASBDPad4.png to throw backwards on hit) ON GROUND
After a brief start-up period, Old Joseph unleashes Hermit Purple's vines forward in a fanning pattern. If the vines connect, the opponent is bound as he swings them around himself in a circle before launching them forwards. An additional input can be made once the attack lands to instead make Old Joseph throw the opponent behind himself.

Attack type: Throw
Damage: 120

Throw (投げ技)
If it's come to this... (こうなったら)
2 ATK buttons near opponent or ASBT.png (ASBDPad4.png to back-throw) ON GROUND
Old Joseph pushes the opponent off-balance before delivering a Ripple-infused horizontal chop that sends them flying.

Attack type: Throw
Damage: 100

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
Years of Experience (戦いの年季)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
Old Joseph breathes in and braces himself with the Ripple. If the counter is triggered, he will retaliate by using said Ripple to blast the opponent away and onto the floor. He then utilizes Hermit Purple to launch himself into the air and performs a powerful downwards chop on the downed opponent to knock them away.

This action is not unlike how Joseph uses cameras to capture spirit photos of DIO during Stardust Crusaders, destroying them with a chop, although on a much larger scale.

Attack type: Counter
Damage: 215

Take this! (これじゃあーーーッ!!)
Hermit Purple and Ripple! (隠者の紫(ハーミットパープル)』AND『波紋(はもん)』ッ!)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 3 ATK Buttons or ASBG.png ON GROUND
Calling forth Hermit Purple, Old Joseph fires out its vines out in a long-range whip-like attack. If it strikes the opponent, he tightly binds them with the vines before heaving and swinging them over his head in a devastating overhead slam, bouncing them off the ground. With another yank, Old Joseph pulls the opponent back into the air, and takes a short moment to breathe in to channel the Ripple. He finishes the attack by pulling them back towards himself and delivering a focused and powerful Ripple Overdrive chop to the neck, sending them flying.

If Old Joseph misses the initial attack, he reacts with a panicked "OH NOOOOOO!" (オォ~~ノォ~~).

Attack type: High
Damage: 340 / 407 / 510 (depending on HH gauge)

Hermit Purple! Eat this! Ripple Overdrive! Way to fly! (隠者の紫(ハーミットパープル)』ッ!! そしてくらえッ! 『波紋疾走(オーバードライブ)!』!! よく飛んだのぉー)
Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト)
ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
A one-stock assist. Old Joseph lands in and swings Hermit Purple out low to the ground. If it hits, he pulls the opponent towards him, causing them to crumple to the ground when they reach him. This skill is capable of 'picking up' a downed opponent by grabbing and forcing them back to their feet, crumpling them once more and leaving them open to more attacks. He then poses before jumping into the air and pulling himself up and back off-screen with Hermit Purple.

Attack type: Low
Damage: 30

Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト)
ON GROUND
A two-stock assist. Old Joseph jumps into the opponent, punching downward at them to knock them away. He then poses before jumping into the air and pulling himself up and back off-screen with Hermit Purple.

Attack type: High

Moveset changes from All-Star Battle

Normals [Stand Off] (通常技)
Standing Medium Attack
ASBM.png ON GROUND
Old Joseph moves forward a shorter distance than he did in All-Star Battle.
Standing Heavy Attack
ASBH.png ON GROUND
Old Joseph moves forward a much greater distance than he did in All-Star Battle.
Crouching Heavy Attack
ASBDPad2.png + ASBH.png ON GROUND
Old Joseph shifts forward a much greater distance than he did in All-Star Battle.
Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand Off] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
That changes everything!
ASBDPad3.png + ASBM.png ON GROUND
The input for this command normal has changed. Previously it was ASBDPad6.png in place of ASBDPad3.png. Additionally, opponents are now knocked into the air when hit instead of suffering normal hitstun.
Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
Ripple Overdrive!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png or ASBS.png for ½ HH ON GROUND
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png in place of ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png. This skill is also now a High instead of a Middle. Additionally, the normal variants no longer knock opponents to the ground in a soft knockdown, instead causing normal hitstun, whereas the Ripple-enhanced variant now crumples the opponent instead of causing a groundbounce. Furthermore, Joseph does not move as far forward as he did in All-Star Battle, though it's less apparent with the weaker variants of the skill.
Coal Tar
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND TRAP
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png in place of ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png. For the ASBM.png and ASBH.png variants, Joseph will now move forward a distance when he brings the drum forward.
The hitbox for the drum that Old Joseph brings out has been extended inward, meaning that this skill will no longer whiff on opponents at close range, making it more reliable overall. It also now deals two hits instead of one, with the first launching the opponent while the second causes a hard knockdown. The hitbox for the puddle has changed as well, with it being smaller now than it was in All-Star Battle, which makes it harder for Old Joseph to accidentally trigger his own trap. The puddle now causes a groundbounce rather than a hard knockdown and is a High rather than a Low.

Normals [Stand On] (通常技)
Standing Medium Attack
ASBM.png ON GROUND
Old Joseph moves forward a shorter distance than he did in All-Star Battle.
Standing Heavy Attack
ASBH.png ON GROUND
Old Joseph moves forward a much greater distance than he did in All-Star Battle. This attack also hits twice now instead of only once.
Crouching Heavy Attack
ASBDPad2.png + ASBH.png ON GROUND
This normal no longer knocks opponents to the ground.
Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand On] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Panic isn't in my vocabulary
ASBDPad7.png + ASBM.png ON GROUND IN AIR OK
Old Joseph pulls himself a shorter distance away than he did in All-Star Battle. However, he can now use this skill whenever he's in the air, regardless of what jump input he used, instead of only being able to use it after jumping straight up. It can also be input on the ground now. Additionally, this skill can now be canceled with Old Joseph's Jumping Heavy Attack, which alters his momentum.
Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
Now I gotcha!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png ON GROUND
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png in place of ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png.
Hermit Purple!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBM.png ON GROUND
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png in place of ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png. Also, the skill is now a multi-hitting attack, hitting three times instead of only once. The skill also has a slightly longer start up now than it did in All-Star Battle.
Solar Energy Ripple!
(During "Hermit Purple!") ASBDPad6.png + ASBS.png for ½ HH ON GROUND
This skill now momentarily binds the opponent before causing a crumple after the animation plays instead of launching them away, allowing for Old Joseph to combo off this skill now.
You gotta stand on your own!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBH.png ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png in place of ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png. Now, after being pulled, the skill causes a crumple, rather than normal hitstun, making it possible to combo after hitting it. Additionally, this skill executes slower than it did in All-Star Battle.
Take a STAND for it!
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png (ASBDPad4.png to throw backwards on hit) ON GROUND
When using the ASBM.png and ASBH.png variants, Joseph will now slide forward a distance when he spreads Hermit Purple out in front of him. Furthermore, the input to throw the opponent backwards has changed. Previously it was ASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png in place of only ASBDPad4.png.

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
Years of Experience
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
The input for this HHA has changed. Previously it was ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png in place of ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png.
Hermit Purple and Ripple!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 3 ATK Buttons or ASBG.png ON GROUND
The startup for this GHA is longer than it was in All-Star Battle, which gives the opponent more time to react to it.

Special Interactions

  • When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Old Joseph closes one eye as his other widens, as he does when he is about to be hit by an approaching train.[3]
  • When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Old Joseph puts both his fists up and takes on a panicked expression, referencing his terror when he is seemingly about to be crushed by an escalator.[4]
  • When summoned as an Assist by Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, Lisa Lisa ("Master Lisa Lisa!"), Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polnareff ("Let's go, Polnareff!"), or Iggy ("Let's go, Iggy!"), Old Joseph calls out his ally's name. If summoned by either version of Jotaro Kujo, Old Joseph declares, "Looks like I'm up!" (わしの出番じゃな!); if summoned by Muhammad Avdol, Old Joseph states, "I've got a plan!" (わしに策がある).

Dialogue

Outside of All-Star Battle Mode, Old Joseph has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
