Joseph Joestar (ジョセフ・ジョースター, Josefu Jōsutā) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was also 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo in August 5.[3]
Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, 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.
Having debuted in the Battle Tendency anime and later voiced Joseph in the original All-Star Battle, Tomokazu Sugita reprises his role in this game. As with the majority of the game's roster, Joseph's voice lines were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Joseph has 1000 health and uses the Ripple (波紋, Hamon) Battle Style, which allows him to use the "Ripple Breathing" special to charge his Heart Heat Gauge. He can also draw from his Heart Heat Gauge in order to perform Ripple-enhanced versions of his various skills, increasing their power and utility.
