All-Star Battle R/Old Joseph Joestar

"Opponents always get confident when they feel like they're winning, when in fact, they've already lost. (「相手が勝ち誇ったとき、そいつはすでに敗北している」)"

Old Joseph Joestar (老ジョセフ・ジョースター) was confirmed for during the game's initial announcement trailer.

Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from, 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 along.

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

Gameplay
Old Joseph has 950 health and uses both the Stand (スタンド) and Ripple (波紋) Battle Styles, fighting foes with Hermit Purple. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Stardust Crusaders.

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