Heritage for the Future/Old Joseph Joestar

Joseph Joestar appears as a fighter in the Capcom game. He was part of the original roster in JoJo's Venture, and is a Weapon Stand User, wielding Hermit Purple.

Joseph is voiced by Toru Okawa, the voice actor who would later voice the narrator in the Anime.

Moveset & 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 upclose 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. He appears as a battle when playing as one of DIO's assassins.

The PS1's Super Story Mode follows his journey in more detail, adapting fights that couldn't be featured in other versions of the game.

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