All-Star Battle R/Jotaro Kujo

"I, Jotaro Kujo, will end you myself. (てめーはこの空条承太郎がじきじにブチのめす)"

Jotaro Kujo (空条 承太郎) was confirmed to return for during the game's initial announcement trailer, being the second character to appear after. He was one of the four characters playable in the game's first Early Access Demo alongside, , and Jolyne. He was also 1 of 15 playable characters during the 2022 Demo on August 5. He is part of the game's current demo alongside, Jolyne, DIO, and.

His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought.

As Jotaro's voice actor for over the past few years, debuting in  and later voicing him in the Stardust Crusaders anime, Daisuke Ono reprises his role as Jotaro's voice actor in this game too. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Jotaro were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay
Jotaro has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド) Battle Style, fighting foes with Star Platinum. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Stardust Crusaders. Owing to the simplicity of his Stand, Jotaro is typically viewed as a powerful and well-rounded character, remaining adaptable thanks to his raw, blunt power.

He posseses both above-average damage and melee range, and a lot of his attacks cover a good distance in front of him and have a lengthy execution. Thus, he is one of the easier characters to play in All-Star Battle R, particularly out of the game's Stand Users. His moveset provides many useful tools for reaching the opponent, and his ability to stop time allows him to deal incredible burst damage. However, Jotaro suffers from long recovery times and being fairly easy to hit compared to other characters, which can make maneuvering around certain opponent attacks difficult.

Special Interactions
After Jotaro is eventually 'crushed', DIO celebrates his victory momentarily, before himself being trapped in a timestop, unable to move. Jotaro is then revealed to be standing behind DIO, claiming he stopped time and escaped. This interaction is reminiscent of Chapters 263 & 264. However, rather than Jotaro succesfully kicking DIO away like is done in the original story, DIO is instead able to free himself, causing The World and Star Platinum to clash fists before both Users are blown away.

 * "My Stand will be the judge!"
 * From the move's input response to the start of the attack, it will no longer bend back if attacked by an opponent. This aims to make the move easier to use while standing.
