All-Star Battle R ★ Jotaro Kujo
Jotaro Kujo (空条 承太郎, Kūjō Jōtarō) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer,[1] being the second character to appear after Jolyne Cujoh. He was one of the four characters playable in the game's first Early Access Demo[3] alongside Jonathan Joestar, DIO, and Jolyne Cujoh. He was also 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo on August 5.[4] He is part of the game's current demo alongside Joseph Joestar, Jolyne, DIO, and Yoshikage Kira.
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 Jotaro's voice actor in both All-Star Battle and the Stardust Crusaders anime, Daisuke Ono reprises his role as Jotaro's voice actor in this game too. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Jotaro were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Jotaro has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Star Platinum, dynamically changing his moveset in the process. Owing to the simplicity of his Stand, Jotaro is typically viewed as a powerful and well-rounded character, remaining adaptable thanks to his raw, blunt power.
He posseses both above-average damage and melee range, and a lot of his attacks cover a good distance in front of him and have a lengthy execution. Thus, he is one of the easier characters to play in All-Star Battle R, particularly out of the game's Stand users. His moveset provides many useful tools for reaching the opponent, and his ability to stop time allows him to deal incredible burst damage. However, Jotaro suffers from long recovery times and being fairly easy to hit compared to other characters, which can make maneuvering around certain opponent attacks difficult.

Jotaro may use his HHA or GHA with impunity if he has enough of the HHG left to do so. He is even capable of hitting opponents that were down when the ability was activated, 'resetting' them into a standing position once hit. The ability is best used with normal attacks in mind in order to deal the most damage within the stopped time, as they execute quickly and their damage reduction within stopped time is insubstantial.
If Jotaro's Throw, "My STAND will be the judge!", or GHA is used, time will immediately resume with the HHG drained to zero.
If fighting against other Time Stop users, Jotaro can use this ability to move within the other fighter's stopped time, and may even outlast his opponent if their HHG runs out first.
This move can also be used to counter DIO's Great Heat Attack, "It's a steamroller!". This is done by inputting the "I stopped time..." skill at any point during this attack. Although Jotaro will still take some damage, the damage of the steamroller's explosion is negated and Jotaro cannot be KO'd by the GHA at all. Jotaro and DIO will also end up at opposite ends of the battle arena. This counter will cost Jotaro 2 stocks of his Heart Heat Gauge. For more detailed information, see his Special Interactions.
Startup frames: 202 ~ 103 (depending on on HH gauge)

Star Platinum is summoned to charge forward a considerable distance and deliver a hook. If the punch connects, Star Platinum will pick the opponent up with one hand and pummel their face with the other before delivering an uppercut to knock them away. The distance that Star Platinum travels increases in order, although also increasing vulnerability. While Star Platinum is traveling, the skill has Super Armor, meaning that attacks that hit Star Platinum while it's traveling will not stop it.
This move is a reference to Star Platinum finishing Noriaki Kakyoin in Chapter 119: Noriaki Kakyoin, Part 2.

If fighting against DIO or himself, Jotaro can use this ability to move within the other fighter's stopped time, and may even outlast his opponent if their HHG runs out first.
This move can also be used to counter DIO's Great Heat Attack, "It's a steamroller!". This is done by inputting the "I stopped time..." skill at any point during this attack.

Moveset Changes from All-Star Battle
- The speed differences across the attack button inputs are more pronounced, with Light () executing much quicker.
This prevents a scenario where the opponent is able to hit the ground (if they're airborne) or even recover from hitstun fast enough to put up their guard (if they're standing) just before the final strike lands, causing it to miss and in the latter case, potentially leave Jotaro open to retaliation.

Special Interactions
- When attacked by DIO's Great Heat Attack, Road Roller, Jotaro initially holds the vehicle back with punches from Star Platinum.
- If the GHA is non-lethal and Jotaro activates his time stop during the cinematic, the interaction is extended: After Jotaro is "crushed," DIO celebrates his victory momentarily before himself being trapped in time stop, unable to move. The camera pans to reveal Jotaro standing behind DIO, claiming he stopped time and escaped. Unlike in the original story, DIO is able to free himself, causing The World and Star Platinum to clash fists before both Stand users are blown away.
- When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Jotaro's face contorts similarly to when he is pummeled by The World.[5]
- When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Jotaro slumps over and struggles to stay on his feet, as he does after being hit by Hierophant Green's Emerald Splash.[6]
- When summoned as an Assist by Old Joseph Joestar ("Old man!"), Muhammad Avdol, Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polnareff, or Iggy, Jotaro calls out his ally's name.
Dialogue
Outside of All-Star Battle Mode, Jotaro has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
- “You're getting an ass beating from yours truly. (てめーはこの空条承太郎がじきじきにブチのめす)”—Default dialogue

力 比べをやりたいというわけか……………)”—Jotaro Kujo (Player 1)“I don't know who you are, but I don't like your attitude. (何者か知らんが、態度がでかいな…)”—Jotaro Kujo (Player 2) -
“Stop right there, old man. Don't put yourself in an early grave. (おれに近づくな…残り少ない寿命が縮むだけだぜ、じじい…)”—Jotaro Kujo
-
“I'll play nice, since you've got an evil spirit too. But keep talking like that, and you're dead. (同じ悪霊持ちとは親しみがわくが

“You like sumo wrestling? Time to get this ring set up! (おまえ、相撲好きか? とくに土俵際のかけひきを!………)”—Jotaro Kujo
