All-Star Battle R ★ Jonathan Joestar
Jonathan Joestar (ジョナサン・ジョースター, Jonasan Jōsutā) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[3] He was one of the four characters playable in the game's first Early Access Demo[4] alongside Jotaro Kujo, DIO, and Jolyne Cujoh. He was also 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo in August 5.[5]
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, 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 Kazuyuki Okitsu had already voiced Jonathan in the Phantom Blood anime, as well as All-Star Battle, he reprises his role as Jonathan's voice actor in this game too. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Jonathan were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Jonathan uses the Ripple (波紋, Hamōn) Battle Style, using various Ripple moves from his appearance in Phantom Blood.
Command List
Expand/Collapse All
- If is inputted, the punch is aimed upwards as an anti-air attack.
- If is inputted, the punch is delivered straight, and causes the opponent to crumple. (Comboable)
- Both versions are performed much faster than in All-Star Battle, with the input now executing quickly enough that it can be chained into from normal attacks.
Damage: 30 / 20
Startup frames: 11 / 23
- The change to Tackle results in the opponent getting launched at a slower velocity; it no longer sends the opponent flying into the stage wall.
Damage: 75
Startup frames: 19
- If he's struck by "Kosaku Kawajiri's" GHA, Bites The Dust when this skill is activated, Jonathan will lose its effects but regain access to his HHG in turn, assuming he has enough health to survive.
- This skill leaves Jonathan with a much smaller amount of health than in All-Star Battle upon revival.
Damage: 130
Startup frames: 7
- The wave travels much faster, and pushes the opponent back further on-hit than in All-Star Battle.
Damage: 30 / 35 / 40 / 40
Startup frames: 11 / 13 / 15 / 15
- This move is able to initiate a Rush Mode struggle with Power-Type Stand users, making Jonathan the only non-Stand-Style character to be able to do so.
- The input for this move was changed in All-Star Battle R.
Damage: 5 (hits 1-5), 25 (hit 6), 50 (total) / 5 (hits 1-6), 35 (hit 7), 65 (total) / 5 (hits 1-7), 45 (hit 8), 80 (total) / 5 (hits 1-13), 55 (hit 14), 120 (total)
- The attack deals much heavier damage than in All-Star Battle, but knocks the opponent further back, weakening its combo utility.
- The Ripple-enhanced version now has a camera-shift effect when landing the first punch, deals massive damage, and sends the opponent dramatically higher and farther.
- The slashes are delivered much faster compared to All-Star Battle.
Damage: 20 (hit 1), 20 (hit 2), 60 (hit 3), 100 (total)
