Capcom Fighters ★ Joseph Joestar

Joseph Joestar appears as a playable character in the Capcom games. He was part of the original roster in JoJo's Venture, and is a Weapon Stand user, wielding Hermit Purple.
A separate incarnation is included, referred to as Proud Lineage Joseph (誇り高き血統ジョセフ) or simply JoJo in the English localization.
Command List & Gameplay
Joseph is a primarily defensive character, who is optimally played patiently and attentivley due to the character's rather weak kit. Many of his attacks give him the role of a pseudo-grappler, complete with 360° and 720° joystick grapple moves, whether up-close or afar, but these are overshadowed by his attack versatility and melee range with his Stand on.























Story Mode
Joseph's Story Mode follows his adventure to stop DIO and save his daughter.
The PS1's Super Story Mode follows his journey in more detail.

Trivia

- Joseph has sprites of him using Hermit Purple to swing around. It goes unused but it was likely intended for a mid-story cutscene while DIO was chasing Joseph in Cairo. Joseph can be seen doing this in the original manga, for example|Chapter 255: DIO's World, Part 9.

- Unused text sprites saying "HELP ME!", "OH MY GOD!" and "HOLY SHIT!" also exist within the game.
