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 changes that All-Star Battle R brought.

Yuki Kaji reprises his role from the original All-Star Battle, in addition to his new role as Koichi Hirose. For the most part, voice lines for Johnny were reused from the original All-Star Battle. However, some brand-new voice lines were added that weren't in the original game.

Gameplay

Johnny has 950 health and uses the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) Battle Style, which allows him to freely mount and dismount his horse, Slow Dancer, dynamically changing his moveset in the process. In addition, as a Stand user, Johnny is able to make use of his Stand Tusk both on and off his horse.

As a Steel Ball Run character, three parts of the Saint's Corpse will slowly appear on the ground as Johnny fights. He can pick up these parts to receive progressively better blessings that can boost his performance in combat. If Johnny battles Gyro Zeppeli, Diego Brando, Parallel World Diego, Funny Valentine, or another Johnny, both combatants will have to fight over the same three parts.

This section requires expansion.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Unmounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Mounting (騎乗切り替え)
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! (あそこまで行かなくては!!)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

Holy Corpse (聖なる遺体)
ASBDPad1.png/ASBDPad2.png/ASBDPad3.png while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Johnny receives a new blessing for every part of the Saint's Corpse he holds. If he is successfully knocked down, however, one Part is knocked away from him, and he loses the associated 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 (タスクの成長)
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 Heart Heat 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 ACT4, regardless of what his current level is.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)
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! (爪の方が回転してる!!)
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 Saint's Corpse part) / ASBM.png 25 × 2 (50) (normal) 27 × 2 (54) (one Saint's Corpse part) / ASBH.png 20 × 3 (60) (normal) 28 × 3 (84) (one Saint's Corpse part)

I'll call them Tusks! (これからは「(タスク)」と呼ぶ!)
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 Saint's Corpse part) / ASBM.png 10 × 4 (40) (normal) 12 × 4 (48) (one Saint's Corpse part) / ASBH.png 10 × 5 (50) (normal) 12 × 5 (60) (one Saint's Corpse part)

What is this?! (これはなんなんだ!?)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

Throw (投げ技)
My body just leapt up! (ぼくの体が飛び上がった!)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
Even if my Spin falters, I will never die! (回転は「穴」になっても死なないぞッ!!)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
Imbuing the Golden Spin into a nail bullet, Johnny evolves Tusk into ACT2, 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 Saint's Corpse part)

Even if my Spin falters, I will never die! (回転は「穴」になっても死なないぞッ!!)
It was such a long, roundabout path... (本当に本当になんて遠い廻り道………)
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 ACT4 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 ACT4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before ACT4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. ACT4 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.

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

It's time for Lesson 5... There! ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAAAAH! Thanks, Gyro. That's all I can think of to say. Chumimin! Pretty long for a shortcut! (「LESSON5」はこのために… そこだッ! オラオラオラオラオラオラオラオラオラオラオラオラオラオラアッ ありがとう、ジャイロ それしか言う言葉がみつからない… チュミミィイイン 本当に本当に、なんて遠い廻り道…)

Mounting (騎乗切り替え)
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! (あそこまで行かなくては!!)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

Care for some herbal tea? (ハーブティー飲む?)
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 (聖なる遺体)
ASBDPad1.png/ASBDPad2.png/ASBDPad3.png while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Johnny receives a new blessing for every part of the Saint's Corpse he holds. If he is successfully knocked down, however, one Part is knocked away from him, and he loses the associated blessing.

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 ACT4, regardless of what his current level is.
Tusk Icon (タスクアイコン)
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 ACT2.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)
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 (黄金回転の爪弾)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

The hole will attack you. (「穴」が攻撃をする)
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)

ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
DescReferences

Aiming a Golden Spin Nail Bullet at the side of his head, glaring eyes aflame with Dark Determination, Johnny evolves Tusk into ACT3 as he shoots himself. ACT3 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
Damage: 170 (normal) / 192 (one Saint's Corpse part)

Now I know where to shoot! Now I see. (さっきわかった! 撃つべき(・・・・)場所が… よし見える)

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 Saint's Corpse part)

Send me down the hole! (自分の肉体を穴の中に巻き込むッ!)
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
Damage: 102 (normal) / 122 (one Saint's Corpse part)

Where's the upper half?! (上半身はどこだ!?)
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.

Great Heat Attack (GHA)
It was such a long, roundabout path... (本当に本当になんて遠い廻り道………)
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 ACT4 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 ACT4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before ACT4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. ACT4 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.

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

Style/Specials/Etc. [Unmounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Mounting (騎乗切り替え)
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! (あそこまで行かなくては!!)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

Care for some herbal tea? (ハーブティー飲む?)
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 (聖なる遺体)
ASBDPad1.png/ASBDPad2.png/ASBDPad3.png while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Johnny receives a new blessing for every part of the Saint's Corpse he holds. If he is successfully knocked down, however, one Part is knocked away from him, and he loses the associated 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 (タスクの成長)
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 ACT4, regardless of what his current level is.
Tusk Icon (タスクアイコン)
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 ACT2.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)
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! (爪の方が回転してる!!)
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 Saint's Corpse part) / ASBM.png 25 × 2 (50) (normal) 27 × 2 (54) (one Saint's Corpse part) / ASBH.png 20 × 3 (60) (normal) 28 × 3 (84) (one Saint's Corpse part)

Golden Spin Nail Bullets (黄金回転の爪弾)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

The hole will attack you. (「穴」が攻撃をする)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

Send me down the hole! (自分の肉体を穴の中に巻き込むッ!)
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 Saint's Corpse part)

Where's the upper half?! (上半身はどこだ!?)
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? (『生贄』は……どっちになると思う?)
ASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.pngASBDPad6.png + ASBS.png ON GROUND
Johnny fires a nail bullet imbued with ACT4 as it rapidly punches, flying forward a good distance, pushing the opponent away, and knocking them down with the final punch if it lands.

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.

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 ACT4 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 ACT4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before ACT4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. ACT4 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.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Mounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Mounting (騎乗切り替え)
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? (ハーブティー飲む?)
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 (聖なる遺体)
ASBDPad1.png/ASBDPad2.png/ASBDPad3.png while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Johnny receives a new blessing for every part of the Saint's Corpse he holds. If he is successfully knocked down, however, one Part is knocked away from him, and he loses the associated 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 (タスクの成長)
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 ACT4, regardless of what his current level is.
Tusk Icon (タスクアイコン)
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 ACT2.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)
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)

Send me down the hole! (自分の肉体を穴の中に巻き込むッ!)
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.

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 ACT4 follows up by pummeling them as they lay. This HHA will remain after Tusk evolves to ACT4, being Johnny's final and highest-damaging HHA.

Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト)
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.

Attack type: High

Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト)
ON GROUND
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 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.

My nails are spinning!
ASBDPad6.pngASBDPad2.pngASBDPad3.png + ASBL.png/ASBM.png/ASBH.png ON GROUND
Johnny now moves forward when using this skill. The amount of hits, and therefore damage, now increases in ASBL.pngASBM.pngASBH.png order instead of always hitting three times for the same amount of damage. However, it's worth noting that both the ASBL.png and ASBM.png variants deal less hits and damage than they did in All-Star Battle. Only ASBH.png remains the same between the two games in this regard. When hit, the opponent is now launched higher as well. Because of this, it's more difficult to Flash Cancel combo off of. Furthermore, the ASBL.png variant no longer has invulnerability, and the ASBM.png and ASBH.png variants can no longer be Flash Canceled.

ASBS.png ON GROUND
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.

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.

  • When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Johnny puts a hand to his face while supporting himself with his other, as he does after cactus needles shot by Mrs. Robinson pierce his face.[5]
  • When hit by Johnny's Great Heat Attack, "It was such a long, roundabout path...", Valentine attempts to protect himself with D4C Love Train, only for Tusk ACT4 to forcefully rip the dimensional wall open and fly through. A slow-motion close-up of Tusk punching D4C and Valentine in the face is also shown.
  • When summoned as an Assist by Gyro Zeppeli, Johnny calls out his ally's name.

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,[6] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[7] 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.[7]

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.[7]

    • ArrowNerf.png Fixed a bug where, after jumping and not performing an aerial attack, the landing recovery while Mounted was much shorter than intended.
  • Standing Medium Attack
    • ArrowBuff.png Fixed so the attack will deal Chip Damage like Mounted normals are supposed to.
  • "Mounting" Style
    • ArrowNerf.png Adjusted so that Johnny is never considered to be airborne while mounting.
    • This change is intended to make punishing this ability more consistant since Johnny could easily drop out of combos due to how low to the ground he was while performing this ability.
  • "Send me down the hole!" skill
    • ArrowChange.png Added icon that indicates this move can be used on a Downed opponent in the Command List.

2.2.0

  • Landing After Aerial Recovery
    • ArrowChange.png Fixed an issue where Johnny could not Stylish Guard at the moment he landed after being knocked off his horse and performing an aerial recovery.

  • Assault Assist
    • ArrowBuff.png Increased number of stocks from two to three.
