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 JoJolion's completion, Josuke gained no new features. His moveset is still inspired by the first three volumes, with only minor changes to properties of said moves. Thus there is little to say outside of mirroring his All-Star Battle gameplay info.

However, we can mention his assist. Having an assualt assist, Josuke performs his "So slippery!". Due to starting off as a sweep, it can be a useful move whilst performing a mid/high combo as a mixup, or used to apply pressure as you run up to perform a basic or command throw. But like with other assists, the enemy can easily escape a mixup caused this way via their own 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. As an assist though, Josuke 8's main trait is it being a sweep that hits several times, allowing for combo follow-ups or mixups; but is greatly overshadowed by other assists in damage and viability.

Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
So slippery! (ツルツルだあ……)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
Josuke has Soft & Wet remove his own friction as he slides forward and begins spinning around on the floor while curled up, hitting the opponent multiple times. The distance Josuke moves and the number of hits, and therefore damage, increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but so does the recovery. A follow-up skill can be used before Josuke recovers. (Flash Cancel comboable)
The ASBL.png version is safe on block.

Attack type: Low (first hit) High (rest of hits)
Damage: ASBL.png 2 × 9 (18) / ASBM.png 2 × 12 (24) / ASBH.png 2 × 15 (30)

Zero Friction (『摩擦ゼロ』)
(During "So slippery!") ASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
Josuke stops spinning and slides forward to unleash a double kick that knocks the opponent into the air. They'll suffer a hard knockdown when they hit the ground. The distance Josuke slides forward increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. Josuke is especially low to the ground while performing this skill, letting him evade most attacks. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Attack type: Low
Damage: 20 × 2 (40)

Let me take that from you. (『そこ』から『何か』を奪う)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
Josuke releases a small cluster of projectile bubbles from his hand which float straight forward before popping. The attack button inputted determines the size of the cluster and thus the amount of hits and damage inflicted, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. Each bubble is a separate hit, which gives the attack sufficient combo utility as opponents can be easily juggled with this skill. (Comboable at certain distances)

Attack type: High
Damage: ASBL.png 9 × 4 (36) / ASBM.png 9 × 8 (72) / ASBH.png 9 × 12 (108)

Don't mess with me. (まじナメるなよ)
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
DescriptionReferences

Josuke slides a forward distance in a low stance and delivers a potent straight punch, leaving the opponent crumpling. The attack button inputted determines his travel distance and damage, while inversely affecting recovery time. Due to his crouched posture while moving, this skill can allow him to move under high-flying projectiles and other similar attacks. (Comboable)
The ASBL.png version is plus on block, meaning that the opponent cannot attack before Josuke if they block this skill.

Attack type: High
Damage: ASBL.png 38 / ASBM.png 40 / ASBH.png 42

How to use the bubbles...... (特にアワの「使い方」かな……)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad2.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
Josuke "shaves" his face by surrounding his body with a dense cluster of bubbles that then slowly float forward after a brief moment. The bubbles' speed decreases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the decrease, the faster the recovery. These bubbles cannot be reflected and steal a small portion of the opponent's HH gauge on contact. (Comboable)
While this move is comboable, due to the long startup, it is best used when an opponent is knocked down as a means of forcing them to either block or Stylish Guard on wake-up rather than as a combo tool.

Attack type: High
Damage: 60

Don't try anything funny! (もう妙なことは考えるなよ)
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
DescriptionReferences

Josuke and Soft & Wet leap forward and fly through the air as S&W rapidly punches. Soft & Wet finishes the assault by reaching forward, grabbing the opponent and throwing them behind Josuke. Because the opponent is thrown behind Josuke, Josuke will end up on the opposite side of the opponent that he started the attack on. The distance Josuke and Soft & Wet travel increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. If blocked, Josuke and Soft & Wet will rebound backwards a good distance, mitigating vulnerability. Since Josuke floats above the ground as he moves, he can move over grounded traps without triggering them. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: 135

The hell is your problem?! (くそッ、てめえッ!!! なんなんだぁあああーーーーッ!!)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
Josuke dashes backwards and into a low crouch as he sends out Soft & Wet to advance forward while punching. The last hit of the barrage will launch the opponent if connected. The distance Josuke jumps back and Soft & Wet moves forward increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the greater the recovery. This skill can initiate Rush Mode, and is a Stand Rush skill that Josuke can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: 60

I gotta win this! (倒さなくては……)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png then ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
DescriptionReferences

Soft & Wet moves forward and unleashes a powerful spinning side kick, staggering the opponent. The distance Soft & Wet moves before kicking increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. This part of the attack is a Stand Rush skill that Josuke can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing. (Flash Cancel comboable)

On contact with the opponent or their guard, an additional button input can be made for Josuke to follow up with his own attack:

  • ASBL.png: Josuke shifts forward and attacks with his knee, leaving the opponent crumpling and open to further attack.
  • ASBM.png: Josuke quickly dashes forward and leaps into a middle-hitting drop kick, launching the opponent into a soft knockdown.
  • ASBH.png: Josuke drops to the ground and spins around on one hand while kicking out with both legs in a two-hitting low attack, the second kick of which knocks the opponent down.

Attack type: High (ASBL.png follow-up) / Middle (ASBM.png follow-up) / Low (ASBH.png follow-up)
Damage: ASBL.png 55 + 30 (85) / ASBM.png 55 + 40 (95) / ASBH.png 55 + 12 + 30 (97)

Throw (投げ技)
I've taken your friction. (「摩擦」を奪った)
2 ATK buttons near opponent or ASBT.png (ASBDPad4.png to back-throw)
ON GROUND
Soft & Wet conjures a bubble that it uses to take the friction from the opponent's feet, causing them to slip and fall, before Josuke knees them in the face as they come down. If back-throwing the opponent, Soft & Wet will grab and drag them to the other side of Josuke before conjuring the bubble. The back-throw leaves the opponent at a farther distance from Josuke than the forward throw does.

Attack type: Throw
Damage: 130

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
I can steal your vision. (「視力」を奪える)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
DescriptionReferences

Josuke throws out a fast-moving bubble created by Soft & Wet as a projectile. If it hits the opponent, the camera shifts to the opponent's point of view as the bubble floats up to their eyes and pops, instantly blackening the screen as it steals their vision and leaving them crumpling (recreating Josuke's self-defense against Joshu in the first chapter of JoJolion).
Since the HHA results in the opponent crumpling if they were on the ground when struck, Josuke can follow up on the attack if he Flash Cancels the recovery animation, marking it one of a minority of HHAs in the game that do not definitively end a combo on success, and the only one where the recovery can be Flash Canceled.

Attack type: High
Damage: 190

Here are my bubbles. I can steal your vision. (「しゃぼん玉」だ 「視力」を奪える)
Soft and wet (柔らかくてそして濡れている)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 3 ATK Buttons or ASBG.png
ON GROUND
Josuke pulls out a projectile bubble with homing capabilities from his Star Birthmark and flings it after a short delay. If it hits the opponent, their entire body's friction is taken, making them slip off their feet and onto the ground, where they lay completely vulnerable. Josuke calmly and confidently explains what's happened to them, before Soft & Wet flies in to deliver an uppercut that knocks them into the air. The Stand then unleashes an upwards barrage of punches, finishing with a powerful hook that sends the opponent spinning out.

Attack type: High
Damage: 297 / 356 / 445 (depending on HH gauge)

Soft & Wet. Pop! I just stole the friction from your body. ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA! ORAAA! Just slide away. (『ソフト&ウェット』 はじけろ! 今、お前の体から「摩擦」を奪った オラオラオラオラオラオラオラアラオラオラオラオラオラオラッ! オラァーッ! 滑って行きな)
Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト)
ON GROUND
A two-stock assist. Josuke lands in and summons Soft & Wet to remove his friction as he slides forward and begins spinning around on the floor while curled up, hitting the opponent multiple times. He then dismisses his Stand, poses, and jumps back off-screen.

Attack type: Low (first hit) High (rest of hits)
Damage: 30

Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト)
ON GROUND
A one-stock assist. Josuke and Soft & Wet jump into the opponent, with Soft & Wet knocking them away with a kick. Josuke then dismisses his Stand, poses, and jumps back off-screen.

Attack type: High

Moveset Changes from All-Star Battle

User Mode (本体)Stand Mode (スタンド)
Normals [Stand Off] (通常技)
Standing Light Attack
ASBL.png
ON GROUND
Josuke moves forward a small distance during this attack now. When hitting an aerial opponent, the opponent will no longer recover in the air and will instead be knocked to the ground in a soft knockdown.
Standing Medium Attack
ASBM.png
ON GROUND
Josuke moves forward a small distance during this attack now.
Crouching Heavy Attack
ASBDPad2.png + ASBH.png
ON GROUND
This attack now hits twice instead of only once, though the damage remains the same since it has been redistributed across both hits. It also has more pushback on hit and block now than it did in All-Star Battle.
Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand Off] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Don't screw with me!
ASBDPad3.png + ASBH.png
ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
When Josuke steps forward in his animation, he now steps farther forward, so when he steps back after attacking, he will have moved forward slightly instead of stepping back to the same position he was before. Additionally, the translation for the name of this skill changed. Previously it was "Quit screwing around!" instead of "Don't screw with me!".
Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
So slippery!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
The attack does not last as long as it did in All-Star Battle. As a result, how Josuke moves during the attack has been altered. Now he does not slide forward while spinning across the ground; to compensate, Josuke now slides forward his full travel distance before he starts spinning. This culminates in Josuke moving less total distance with the ASBL.png version and more total distance with the ASBM.png and ASBH.png versions. Also, after the first hit, all the hits of this attack are now Highs instead of Lows since this move too easily allowed for unblockable situations with the addition of assists.
Let me take that from you.
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
The bubbles travel much faster than they did in All-Star Battle. Because the duration of the bubbles remains unchanged, this results in the bubbles also traveling farther now. The number of hits for all versions of the move has changed as well. It now matches the visuals rather than dealing more hits than there are bubbles on screen. The hits deal more damage now to compensate for the loss, resulting in the ASBL.png version's damage being unchanged while the ASBM.png and ASBH.png versions do slightly more.
Don't mess with me.
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
The attack has been sped up. The distance forward that Josuke slides has also increased.
How to use the bubbles......
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad2.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
The bubbles now move slowly forward rather than staying stationary. As such, they are considered non-reflectable projectiles now rather than a trap. This also makes it possible to combo off of this move, though the long start up makes it so this move is best used for other purposes. Furthermore, the bubbles also have a longer duration.
Normals [Stand On] (通常技)
Standing Medium Attack
ASBM.png
ON GROUND
This attack is now a Low instead of a High. Josuke also moves forward a small distance during this attack now. Additionally, it has more pushback on hit and block now than it did in All-Star Battle.
Standing Heavy Attack
ASBH.png
ON GROUND
Soft & Wet moves forward a farther distance when it attacks now, giving this attack more range. This attack also has less pushback on hit and block than it did in All-Star Battle.
Jumping Light Attack
ASBL.png
IN AIR OK
The startup for this attack has been decreased, making it easier to hit grounded opponents now where as, in All-Star Battle, it was only possible to hit taller grounded opponents (the Pillar Men and the tallest human characters).
Jumping Medium Attack
ASBM.png
IN AIR OK
This attack know knocks the opponent into the air instead of only dealing normal hitstun. However, when hitting an aerial opponent, the opponent will be knocked to the ground in a soft knockdown instead of recovering in the air.
Jumping Heavy Attack
ASBH.png
IN AIR OK
This move executes slightly slower than it did in All-Star Battle, making it a bit more difficult to connect both punches on grounded opponents now. It is also no longer possible to connect one of the two punches while jumping up. Furthermore, when only one punch is connected, the damage dealt will always be the higher damage hit, where as, in All-Star Battle, it was the lesser damage hit. The damage if both punches connect remains unchanged though.
Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
Don't try anything funny!
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
This skill deals significantly more damage now. When hitting an aerial opponent, the full remaining duration of the skill will land instead of the opponent possibly dropping out like they could in All-Star Battle if they were hit early on in the barrage. Additionally, the translation for the name of this skill changed. Previously it was "Don't get any ideas!" instead of "Don't try anything funny!".
The hell is your problem?!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
There is no longer a camera effect on the last hit of the attack.
I gotta win this!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png
ON GROUND
The attack button inputted now determines how far away Soft & Wet moves before kicking instead of it staying stationary regardless of the button inputted. The angle the opponent is launched is also different. Now they are launched into the air at a higher angle rather than straight outwards, making this skill much easier to Flash Cancel combo off of. Additionally, this skill now causes a soft knockdown rather than a hard knockdown.
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
I can steal your vision.
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
After the attack ends, Josuke is suspended in an animation and has to use Flash Cancel to cancel it.
Soft and wet
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 3 ATK Buttons or ASBG.png
ON GROUND
When this GHA is activated, there is now a small delay before the bubble projectile appears and starts to travel forward, making it a bit more difficult to combo into than it was in All-Star Battle.
