All-Star Battle R ★ Old Joseph Joestar
Old Joseph Joestar (老ジョセフ・ジョースター, Rō Josefu Jōsutā) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]
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.
Old Joseph's voice actor, Unsho Ishizuka, reprises his role in this game, replacing Tomokazu Sugita. However, due to his passing in 2018, his voice lines were reused from Eyes of Heaven. As a result, some of his voice lines from the original All-Star Battle are not present.
Gameplay
Old Joseph has 950 health and uses both the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) and Ripple (波紋, Hamon) Battle Styles. The Stand Battle Style allows Joseph to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Hermit Purple, dynamically changing his moveset in the process. In addition, the Ripple Battle Style allows Old Joseph 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.

There are 5 different poses Old Joseph can strike while using this technique, all being the same as his Stylish Evade poses.

By spending half a stock of HH, Old Joseph can empower the skill, causing it to execute faster, move Old Joseph forward more, deal more damage, and crumple the opponent when hit. (Comboable)
Attack type: High
Damage: 60 / 65 / 70 / 15 × 2 + 50 (80)
Unlike other counters, Old Joseph will not be protected from damage or hit effects while it is in effect. He is also vulnerable to Low attacks. However, it will trigger against projectiles, though it is possible for the opponent to avoid the counter attack due to it having a set range. If Old Joseph uses his HHA while this counter is active, the effect will be canceled.
Attack type: Counter (counter hit is Unblockable)
Damage: 55
The coal tar puddle will remain for a set period as a trap that can make Old Joseph himself or his opponent slip and bounce off the ground if they step in it, dealing minor damage. This skill is a reference to his battle with Empress.

Attack type: Low
Damage: 30

Moveset changes from All-Star Battle
The hitbox for the drum that Old Joseph brings out has been extended inward, meaning that this skill will no longer whiff on opponents at close range, making it more reliable overall. It also now deals two hits instead of one, with the first launching the opponent while the second causes a hard knockdown. The hitbox for the puddle has changed as well, with it being smaller now than it was in All-Star Battle, which makes it harder for Old Joseph to accidentally trigger his own trap. The puddle now causes a groundbounce rather than a hard knockdown and is a High rather than a Low.

Special Interactions
- When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Old Joseph closes one eye as his other widens, as he does when he is about to be hit by an approaching train.[3]
- When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Old Joseph puts both his fists up and takes on a panicked expression, referencing his terror when he is seemingly about to be crushed by an escalator.[4]
- When summoned as an Assist by Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, Lisa Lisa ("Master Lisa Lisa!"), or either version of Jotaro Kujo ("Looks like I'm up!"), Muhammad Avdol ("I've got a plan!"), Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polnareff ("Let's go, Polnareff!"), or Iggy ("Let's go, Iggy!"), Joseph calls out his ally's name.
