==Gameplay==
Despite ''All-Star Battle R'' releasing just over a year after the conclusion of ''JoJolion'', Josuke has gained no new features. His moveset is still inspired by the first three volumes of Part 8's story, with only minor design and balance changes to his skillset to accompany his transition into the updated rerelease. Thus there is little to say outside of mirroring his ''All-Star Battle'' gameplay info.
Josuke has 1000 health and uses the {{Nihongo|'''[[Stand]]'''|スタンド|Sutando}} Battle Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand '''[[Soft & Wet]]''', dynamically changing his moveset in the process.
Of the new system mechanics introduced is his assist. For his Assault Assist, Josuke performs "So slippery!". Due to starting off as a sweep, it can be a useful move whilst performing a mid/high combo as a mix-up, or used to apply pressure onto the opponent for the player to run up and perform a standard Throw or command Throw. However, like with other assists, the opponent can easily escape a situation of this nature via their own Reversal 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.
{{Expand section}}
For a more in-depth look at Josuke's gameplay, check his ''All-Star Battle'' page. Taken purely as an assist, Josuke 8's main trait is it being a low-hitting sweep that strikes several times, allowing for combo follow-ups or mixups. Otherwise, it is greatly overshadowed by other assists in damage and viability.
