This ability has far surpassed a simple nail… it’s a tusk! From now on I will call this Tusk![2] (これはもう「爪」を超えた………「(きば)」だ!これからは「(タスク)」と呼ぶ!)
ASBR Johnny title call.png

Johnny Joestar (ジョニィ・ジョースター, Jonyi Jōsutā) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was featured as 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo on August 5.[3]

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 Johnny's voice actor since All-Star Battle, Yuki Kaji reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well, notably also voicing Koichi Hirose. Similar to the majority of the game's roster, Johnny was given some new and rerecorded voice lines, although, in some cases, existing voice lines were simply reused from the original All-Star Battle.

Gameplay

Johnny has 950 health and uses both the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) and Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Tusk. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Steel Ball Run.

This section requires expansion.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Unmounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Mounting
ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny can summon his horse, Slow Dancer, to mount it, or dismount and send it away, shifting his movement and available abilities. Slow Dancer improves his mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Johnny's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted.

If the Style input (ASBS.png) is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Johnny mounts Slow Dancer much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Johnny's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

I've got to get there!
ASBDPad4.png or ASBDPad6.png + ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny spins his nails and forces his lower body off the ground, temporarily 'wheeling' himself forward or backwards. If the opponent is hit, they are knocked into the air. Johnny can cancel this attack into skills, even when whiffed. However, it cannot be canceled into 'Quick Mount'.

Attack type: High
Damage: 12 (normal) / 14 (one Holy Corpse part)

Holy Corpse
ASBDPad1.png/ASBDPad2.png/ASBDPad3.png while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Johnny receives a new blessing for every Holy Corpse Part he holds, but if successfully knocked down, drops the part and loses said blessing.
  1. The damage of all of Johnny's attacks is increased by ~20%.
  2. All of Johnny's skills that use Nail Bullets gain Super Armor.
  3. The rate at which Johnny's Heart Heat Gauge fills is increased.
Tusk's Growth
Automatically activates when HHA or GHA is used in Acts 1-3
When Johnny activates his HHA, his Tusk Level (shown by the words above his HH gauge) will increase by one. This changes the moves Johnny has access to. Alternatively, when Johnny activates his GHA, Tusk will automatically be upgraded to Tusk Act 4, regardless of what his current level is.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates below 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Johnny falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.
Skills [Unmounted] (コマンド技)
My nails are spinning!
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny moves forward while spinning his nails as he swings upwards in a melee attack, knocking the opponent off their feet. The number of hits increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the less distance forward Slow Dancer moves and the more vulnerable Johnny becomes. This move doubles as an anti-air and reversal. (ASBL.png variant Flash Cancel comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: ASBL.png 40 (normal) 48 (one Holy Corpse part) / ASBM.png 25 × 2 (50) (normal) 27 × 2 (54) (one Holy Corpse part) / ASBH.png 20 × 3 (60) (normal) 28 × 3 (84) (one Holy Corpse part)

I call them Tusks!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Using basic Spin energy, Johnny shoots off his nails like bullets in a salvo forward. The number of nail bullets Johnny shoots increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but so does vulnerability. Unlike Tusk's later Acts, Johnny's basic nails are unlimited as his nails regrow instantly at this stage, but have poor damage and cannot be aimed. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: ASBL.png 10 × 3 (30) (normal) 12 × 3 (36) (one Holy Corpse part) / ASBM.png 10 × 4 (40) (normal) 12 × 4 (48) (one Holy Corpse part) / ASBH.png 10 × 5 (50) (normal) 12 × 5 (60) (one Holy Corpse part)

What is this?!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny sends a narrow shockwave forward along the ground, knocking the opponent down on impact. The recovery decreases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the shorter the recovery, the longer the startup.

Attack type: Low
Damage: 40 (normal) / 48 (one Holy Corpse part)

Throw (投げ技)
My body just leapt up!
2 ATK buttons near opponent or ASBT.png (ASBDPad4.png to back-throw) ON GROUND
Johnny attacks the opponent's lower body by spinning his nails and cutting them. His legs then spontaneously jolt to launch him into the air as he fires the nails downward.

Attack type: Throw
Damage: 130 (normal) / 145 (one Holy Corpse part)

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
Even if my Spin falters, I will never die!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
Imbuing the Golden Spin into a nail bullet, Johnny evolves Tusk into Act 2, before firing said nail into the ground. The hole generated by the nail bullet moves along the ground, homing towards the opponent and knocking them into the air if it connects. If Johnny is close enough to the opponent, the nail bullet he shoots into the ground can hit the opponent, dealing a small bit of damage and an additional hit.

Attack type: High (initial bullet) and Low (hole)
Damage: 30 + 110 (140) (normal) / 36 + 132 (168) (one Holy Corpse part)

It was such a long, roundabout path...
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 3 ATK Buttons or ASBG.png ON GROUND
DescReferences

Johnny's GHA can only be performed while mounted, but will automatically summon Slow Dancer if inputted while unmounted. This GHA can be used when Johnny has Tusk at any ACT, and executing it will evolve it directly to Act 4 regardless if it succeeds or not.

Johnny launches off of Slow Dancer and fires a singular powerful nail bullet imbued with the power of the Complete Golden Spin Energy as Act 4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before Act 4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. Act 4 finishes by spinning and funneling itself into the hole created by the nail bullet. As its head appears from behind the opponent, the entrance of the Stand into their bodies generates a massive pink burst. Throughout Tusk's assault, Johnny calmly and quietly thanks Gyro.

Johnny's GHA is altered when used against Valentine. Valentine attempts to protect himself from the Complete Golden Spin Energy nail bullet with D4C Love Train, only for Tusk Act 4 to forcefully rip the dimensional wall open and fly past, recreating the climactic scene from the battle in the manga. When beating Valentine, a slow-motion close-up of Tusk punching D4C in the face and the hit reflecting in Valentine is shown.

Attack type: High
Damage: 319 (normal) 329 (one Holy Corpse part) / 382 (normal) 394 (one Holy Corpse part) / 478 (normal) 493 (one Holy Corpse part) (depending on HH gauge)

Mounting
ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny can summon his horse, Slow Dancer, to mount it, or dismount and send it away, shifting his movement and available abilities. Slow Dancer improves his mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Johnny's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted. It can, however, be partially restored by the "Care for some herbal tea?" special.

If the Style input (ASBS.png) is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Johnny mounts Slow Dancer much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Johnny's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

ASBDPad4.png or ASBDPad6.png + ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny spins his nails and forces his lower body off the ground, temporarily 'wheeling' himself forward or backwards. If the opponent is hit, they are knocked into the air. Johnny can cancel this attack into skills, even when whiffed. However, it cannot be canceled into other specials such as 'Quick Mount' or "Care for some herbal tea?".

Attack type: High
Damage: 12 (normal) / 14 (one Holy Corpse part)

Care for some herbal tea?
ASBDPad2.png + ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny quickly drinks a cup of chamomile tea. When he does, his guard gauge is partially restored and his missing nail bullets will instantly be restored. However, if he is hit before this move completes, these effects do not activate.
Holy Corpse
ASBDPad1.png/ASBDPad2.png/ASBDPad3.png while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Johnny receives a new blessing for every Holy Corpse Part he holds, but if successfully knocked down, drops the part and loses said blessing.
  1. The damage of all of Johnny's attacks is increased by ~20%.
  2. All of Johnny's skills that use Nail Bullets gain Super Armor.
  3. The rate at which Johnny's Heart Heat Gauge fills is increased.
Tusk's Growth
Automatically activates when HHA or GHA is used in Acts 1-3
When Johnny activates his HHA, his Tusk Level (shown by the words above his HH gauge) will increase by one. This changes the moves Johnny has access to. Alternatively, when Johnny activates his GHA, Tusk will automatically be upgraded to Tusk Act 4, regardless of what his current level is.
Tusk Icon
Passive
Above Johnny's Heart Heat gauge are 10 icons that display how many nail bullets Johnny has remaining. When a skill that uses nail bullets is used, one of the icons will darken, regardless of how many actual nail bullets the skill uses. Once all 10 bullets have been fired, they will restore automatically, though it will take a bit of time. Their restoration speed will increase while "Care for some herbal tea?" is in effect. The icon only appears after Tusk has been upgraded to Tusk Act 2.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates below 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Johnny falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

Golden Spin Nail Bullets
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny shoots a single nail bullet infused with the Golden Spin, hitting the opponent for more damage than his previous "I'll call them Tusks!" nail bullets. Johnny cannot use this ability if he has no nail bullets currently available. Depending on the attack button inputted, he will shoot at a different angle:
  • Light (ASBL.png): Johnny fires straight forward.
  • Medium (ASBM.png): Johnny fires at a upward angle.
  • Heavy (ASBH.png): Johnny fires a steeper upward angle, almost straight up.

Attack type: High
Damage: 79 (normal) / 60 (one Holy Corpse part)

The hole will attack you.
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny fires into the ground, and the hole created by the nail bullet moves forward, homing towards the opponent and crumpling them if it connects. The speed and duration of the hole increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order. The projectile cannot be reflected. If Johnny is close enough to the opponent, the nail bullet he shoots into the ground can hit the opponent, dealing a small bit of damage and an additional hit. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Aiming a Golden Spin Nail Bullet at the side of his head, glaring eyes aflame with Dark Determination, Johnny evolves Tusk into Act 3 as he shoots himself. Act 3 then sends a large hole created by Johnny's nail bullet along the ground with some homing. If it hits the opponent, it will knock them off-balance and continue moving past. Johnny's upper half will then appear out of it as he shoots five Golden Spin nail bullet into them from behind.

Attack type: High

ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad2.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Johnny fires a nail bullet into the ground and sticks his forearm in. A second hole will begin quickly moving along the ground, until it reaches a set distance in front of the opponent, before Johnny's forearm appears from it and fires a Golden Spin Nail Bullet. If it hits, the opponent will be knocked off their feet. The ASBH.png variant is a feint and can be used regardless of if Johnny has any nail bullets available. The speed of the projectile decreases in ASBL.pngASBM.png order, but it is not a great decrease. The skill can be canceled at any time during its animation with ASBH.png.
This skill consumes two Golden Spin Nail Bullets per use; One to create the hole, and a second to fire in the actual attack. The attack cannot be used if Johnny has no more than a single nail left.

Attack type: High

Where's the upper half?!
ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND CHARGEABLE
Johnny fires a nail bullet into the ground and sticks his entire upper body into it. Another hole will then move along the ground, either forwards or backwards depending on the attack button inputted, before the rest of Johnny's body is sucked in. He will then reappear on the other side. The longer the button is held, the farther the hole will travel.
  • Light (ASBL.png): Johnny will appear forwards from his original position.
  • Medium (ASBM.png): Johnny will appear backwards from his original position.
  • Heavy (ASBH.png): Johnny will not move.

This skill is useful for quick traversal along the stage unmounted or simply for evasion, but has a delay before the hole begins to move, leaving Johnny's lower half open attack, though his hitbox is smaller than normal, making him harder to hit. It can be canceled at anytime during its animation by pressing ASBH.png, resulting in Johnny not moving.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Unmounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Mounting
ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny can summon his horse, Slow Dancer, to mount it, or dismount and send it away, shifting his movement and available abilities. Slow Dancer improves his mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Johnny's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted. It can, however, be partially restored by the "Care for some herbal tea?" special.

If the Style input (ASBS.png) is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Johnny mounts Slow Dancer much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Johnny's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

I've got to get there!
ASBDPad4.png or ASBDPad6.png + ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny spins his nails and forces his lower body off the ground, temporarily 'wheeling' himself forward or backwards. If the opponent is hit, they are knocked into the air. Johnny can cancel this attack into skills, even when whiffed. However, it cannot be canceled into other specials such as 'Quick Mount' or "Care for some herbal tea?".

Attack type: High
Damage: 12 (normal) / 14 (one Holy Corpse part)

Care for some herbal tea?
ASBDPad2.png + ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny quickly drinks a cup of chamomile tea. When he does, his guard gauge is partially restored and his missing nail bullets will instantly be restored. However, if he is hit before this move completes, these effects do not activate.
Holy Corpse
ASBDPad1.png/ASBDPad2.png/ASBDPad3.png while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Johnny receives a new blessing for every Holy Corpse Part he holds, but if successfully knocked down, drops the part and loses said blessing.
  1. The damage of all of Johnny's attacks is increased by ~20%.
  2. All of Johnny's skills that use Nail Bullets gain Super Armor.
  3. The rate at which Johnny's Heart Heat Gauge fills is increased.
Tusk's Growth
Automatically activates when HHA or GHA is used in Acts 1-3
When Johnny activates his HHA, his Tusk Level (shown by the words above his HH gauge) will increase by one. This changes the moves Johnny has access to. Alternatively, when Johnny activates his GHA, Tusk will automatically be upgraded to Tusk Act 4, regardless of what his current level is.
Tusk Icon
Passive
Above Johnny's Heart Heat gauge are 10 icons that display how many nail bullets Johnny has remaining. When a skill that uses nail bullets is used, one of the icons will darken, regardless of how many actual nail bullets the skill uses. Once all 10 bullets have been fired, they will restore automatically, though it will take a bit of time. Their restoration speed will increase while "Care for some herbal tea?" is in effect. The icon only appears after Tusk has been upgraded to Tusk Act 2.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates below 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Johnny falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

My nails are spinning!
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny moves forward while spinning his nails as he swings upwards in a melee attack, knocking the opponent off their feet. The number of hits increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the less distance forward Johnny moves and the more vulnerable he becomes. This move doubles as an anti-air and reversal. (ASBL.png variant Flash Cancel comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: ASBL.png 40 (normal) 48 (one Holy Corpse part) / ASBM.png 25 × 2 (50) (normal) 27 × 2 (54) (one Holy Corpse part) / ASBH.png 20 × 3 (60) (normal) 28 × 3 (84) (one Holy Corpse part)

Golden Spin Nail Bullets
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny shoots a single nail bullet infused with the Golden Spin, hitting the opponent for more damage than his previous "I'll call them Tusks!" nail bullets. Johnny cannot use this ability if he has no nail bullets currently available. Depending on the attack button inputted, he will shoot at a different angle:
  • Light (ASBL.png): Johnny fires straight forward.
  • Medium (ASBM.png): Johnny fires at a upward angle.
  • Heavy (ASBH.png): Johnny fires a steeper upward angle, almost straight up.

Attack type: High
Damage: 79 (normal) / 60 (one Holy Corpse part)

The hole will attack you.
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.pngASBDPad4.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny fires into the ground, and the hole created by the nail bullet moves forward, homing towards the opponent and crumpling them if it connects. The speed and duration of the hole increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order. The projectile cannot be reflected. If Johnny is close enough to the opponent, the nail bullet he shoots into the ground can hit the opponent, dealing a small bit of damage and an additional hit. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: 10 + 45 (55) (normal) / 12 + 54 (66) (one Holy Corpse part)

Send me down the hole!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad2.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Johnny fires a nail bullet into the ground and sticks his forearm in. A second hole will begin quickly moving along the ground, until it reaches a set distance in front of the opponent, before Johnny's forearm appears from it and fires a Golden Spin Nail Bullet. If it hits, the opponent will be knocked off their feet. The ASBH.png variant is a feint and can be used regardless of if Johnny has any nail bullets available. The speed of the projectile decreases in ASBL.pngASBM.png order, but it is not a great decrease. The skill can be canceled at any time during its animation with ASBH.png. (Flash Cancel comboable)
This skill consumes two Golden Spin Nail Bullets per use; One to create the hole, and a second to fire in the actual attack. The attack cannot be used if Johnny has no more than a single nail left.

Attack type: High
Damage: 102 (normal) / 122 (one Holy Corpse part)

Where's the upper half?!
ASBDPad4.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad1.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND CHARGEABLE
Johnny fires a nail bullet into the ground and sticks his entire upper body into it. Another hole will then move along the ground, either forwards or backwards depending on the attack button inputted, before the rest of Johnny's body is sucked in. He will then reappear on the other side. The longer the button is held, the farther the hole will travel.
  • Light (ASBL.png): Johnny will appear forwards from his original position.
  • Medium (ASBM.png): Johnny will appear backwards from his original position.
  • Heavy (ASBH.png): Johnny will not move.

This skill is useful for quick traversal along the stage unmounted or simply for evasion, but has a delay before the hole begins to move, leaving Johnny's lower half open attack, though his hitbox is smaller than normal, making him harder to hit. It can be canceled at anytime during its animation by pressing ASBH.png, resulting in Johnny not moving.

Who'll be the sacrifice?
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny fires a nail bullet imbued with Act 4 as it rapidly punches, flying forward a good distance, pushing the opponent away, and knocking them down with the final punch if it lands.

Attack type: High

Chumimin!
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png + ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny fires a nail bullet imbued with Act 4 into the ground. Act 4 will immediately reappear in front of the opponent and rapidly punch them, regardless of range or orientation.

Great Heat Attack (GHA)
It was such a long, roundabout path...
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 3 ATK Buttons or ASBG.png ON GROUND
DescReferences

Johnny's GHA can only be performed while mounted, but will automatically summon Slow Dancer if inputted while unmounted. This GHA can be used when Johnny has Tusk at any ACT, and executing it will evolve it directly to Act 4 regardless if it succeeds or not.

Johnny launches off of Slow Dancer and fires a singular powerful nail bullet imbued with the power of the Complete Golden Spin Energy as Act 4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before Act 4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. Act 4 finishes by spinning and funneling itself into the hole created by the nail bullet. As its head appears from behind the opponent, the entrance of the Stand into their bodies generates a massive pink burst. Throughout Tusk's assault, Johnny calmly and quietly thanks Gyro.

Johnny's GHA is altered when used against Valentine. Valentine attempts to protect himself from the Complete Golden Spin Energy nail bullet with D4C Love Train, only for Tusk Act 4 to forcefully rip the dimensional wall open and fly past, recreating the climactic scene from the battle in the manga. When beating Valentine, a slow-motion close-up of Tusk punching D4C in the face and the hit reflecting in Valentine is shown.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Mounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Mounting
ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny can summon his horse, Slow Dancer, to mount it, or dismount and send it away, shifting his movement and available abilities. Slow Dancer improves his mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Johnny's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted. It can, however, be partially restored by the "Care for some herbal tea?" special.

If the Style input (ASBS.png) is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Johnny mounts Slow Dancer much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Johnny's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

Care for some herbal tea?
ASBDPad2.png + ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny quickly drinks a cup of chamomile tea. When he does, his guard gauge is partially restored and his missing nail bullets will instantly be restored. However, if he is hit before this move completes, these effects do not activate.
Holy Corpse

Johnny receives a new blessing for every Holy Corpse Part he holds, but if successfully knocked down, drops the part and loses said blessing.
  1. The damage of all of Johnny's attacks is increased by ~20%.
  2. All of Johnny's skills that use Nail Bullets gain Super Armor.
  3. The rate at which Johnny's Heart Heat Gauge fills is increased.
Tusk's Growth
Automatically activates when HHA or GHA is used in Acts 1-3
When Johnny activates his HHA, his Tusk Level (shown by the words above his HH gauge) will increase by one. This changes the moves Johnny has access to. Alternatively, when Johnny activates his GHA, Tusk will automatically be upgraded to Tusk Act 4, regardless of what his current level is.
Tusk Icon
Passive
Above Johnny's Heart Heat gauge are 10 icons that display how many nail bullets Johnny has remaining. When a skill that uses nail bullets is used, one of the icons will darken, regardless of how many actual nail bullets the skill uses. Once all 10 bullets have been fired, they will restore automatically, though it will take a bit of time. Their restoration speed will increase while "Care for some herbal tea?" is in effect. The icon only appears after Tusk has been upgraded to Tusk Act 2.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates below 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Johnny falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

Slow Dancer moves forward while Johnny spins his nails as he swings upwards in a melee attack, knocking the opponent off their feet. The number of hits and the distance away the opponent is launched increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order, but the greater the increase, the less distance forward Johnny moves and the more vulnerable he becomes. This move doubles as an anti-air and reversal. (ASBL.png variant Flash Cancel comboable)

Golden Spin Nail Bullets

Johnny shoots a single nail bullet infused with the Golden Spin, hitting the opponent for more damage than his previous "I'll call them Tusks!" nail bullets. Johnny cannot use this ability if he has no nail bullets currently available. Depending on the attack button inputted, he will shoot at a different angle:
  • Light (ASBL.png): Johnny fires at a downward angle.
  • Medium (ASBM.png): Johnny fires at a shallower downward angle, almost straight forward.
  • Heavy (ASBH.png): Johnny fires at an upward angle.

Johnny fires into the ground, and the hole created by the nail bullet moves forward, homing towards the opponent and crumpling them if it connects. The speed and duration of the hole increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order. The projectile cannot be reflected. If Johnny is close enough to the opponent, the nail bullet he shoots into the ground can hit the opponent, dealing a small bit of damage and an additional hit. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Send me down the hole!
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad2.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Johnny fires a nail bullet into himself and sticks his forearm in the hole it creates. A second hole will begin quickly moving along the ground, until it reaches a set distance in front of the opponent, before Johnny's forearm appears from it and fires a Golden Spin Nail Bullet. If it hits, the opponent will be knocked off their feet. The ASBH.png variant is a feint and can be used regardless of if Johnny has any nail bullets available. The speed of the projectile decreases in ASBL.pngASBM.png order, but it is not a great decrease. The skill can be canceled at any time during its animation with ASBH.png.
This skill consumes two Golden Spin Nail Bullets per use; One to create the hole, and a second to fire in the actual attack. The attack cannot be used if Johnny has no more than a single nail left.

Johnny evolves Tusk into Act 4 as the new Stand is summoned to advance forward while rapidly punching. The whole HHA does not have to hit in order for it to work; If the opponent is struck, even by just the last punch, they will be knocked to the ground as Tusk Act 4 follows up by pummeling them as they lay. This HHA will remain after Tusk evolves to Act 4, being Johnny's final and highest-damaging HHA.

ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 3 ATK Buttons or ASBG.png ON GROUND
DescReferences

Johnny's GHA can only be performed while mounted, but will automatically summon Slow Dancer if inputted while unmounted. This GHA can be used when Johnny has Tusk at any ACT, and executing it will evolve it directly to Act 4 regardless if it succeeds or not.

Johnny launches off of Slow Dancer and fires a singular powerful nail bullet imbued with the power of the Complete Golden Spin Energy as Act 4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before Act 4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. Act 4 finishes by spinning and funneling itself into the hole created by the nail bullet. As its head appears from behind the opponent, the entrance of the Stand into their bodies generates a massive pink burst. Throughout Tusk's assault, Johnny calmly and quietly thanks Gyro.

Johnny's GHA is altered when used against Valentine. Valentine attempts to protect himself from the Complete Golden Spin Energy nail bullet with D4C Love Train, only for Tusk Act 4 to forcefully rip the dimensional wall open and fly past, recreating the climactic scene from the battle in the manga. When beating Valentine, a slow-motion close-up of Tusk punching D4C in the face and the hit reflecting in Valentine is shown.

Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト, Asaruto Ashisuto)
ON GROUND
A three-stock asssit. Johnny crawls out of a hole in the ground before shooting the ground. The hole his nail bullet creates moves forward, homing towards the opponent and crumpling them if it connects. He then poses before shooting himself with another nail bullet and falling into the hole on the ground that appears.

Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト, Ribāsaru Ashisuto)

A one-stock assist. Johnny wheels on screen using his spinning nails to move. He continues across the ground until he reaches the edge of the screen. If he hits the opponent, he'll knock them away. He then poses before shooting himself with another nail bullet and falling into the hole on the ground that appears.
Because Johnny does not jump into the stage from the top of the screen like all the other Reversal Assists, it's easy for this assist to whiff, making it less reliable than other characters' assists.

Johnny mounts and dismounts Slow Dancer much faster than he did in All-Star Battle, granting him more safety when transitioning from one mode to another as he can act sooner. However, as a trade off, he no longer has Super Armor when he manages to touch Slow Dancer and this move will be canceled unless it fully completes.
I've got to get there!
ASBDPad4.png or ASBDPad6.png + ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny now always has a hitbox, meaning that if he hits the opponent, he will always do damage, regardless of the distance, unlike in All-Star Battle, where he had to be point-blank to deal damage. To go with this change, the opponent is now knocked into the air when hit instead of suffering normal hitstun. Additionally, Johnny can now cancel this attack into skills. However, that does not extend to other specials.

ASBDPad2.png + ASBS.png ON GROUND
The move's input has been changed. Formally, it was ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad2.png + ASBM.png instead of ASBDPad2.png + ASBS.png. The move also functions differently as instead of only increasing the rate that the nail bullets are restored, they instantly restore them. Because of this, the Tusk Icon no longer glows to show the duration of the increased recovery like it did in All-Star Battle. The amount of guard gauge that is restored by this move is significantly less than it was in All-Star Battle.

The attack's input has been changed. Formally, it was ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png in place of ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad2.png. Where Johnny's arm pops out of the hole is different now too. Instead of being different based on what button is inputted, his arm always appears a set distance in front of the opponent instead of being a set distance in front of or behind Johnny. If Johnny only has one nail bullet left, he no longer performs an animation when this attack is inputted.

Johnny no longer has invulnerability to High and Middle attacks while he is in the hole. Instead his hitbox is a set size, though, because it is smaller than normal, he is much harder to hit, and some standing normals will still whiff.

Commemorative Giveaway

ASBR DLC4 Commemorative Giveaway.jpg

In commemoration of the release of Parallel World Diego as the 4th paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Steel Ball Run badges,[4] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[5] The badges in question contained the ASBR render images of Gyro Zeppeli, Parallel World Diego, and Johnny respectively.

The campaign started on June 16, 2023, and lasted until July 2 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:

  1. Follow the @jojo_games_jp Twitter account.
  2. Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway.

However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.[5]

The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third-party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were announced sometime towards the end of July 2023. The gifts were delivered in mid-August 2023.[5]
