JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future/Young Joseph

From SuperCombo Wiki
JoJo-Challenger.png

Joseph Joestar (ジョセフ・ジョースター Josefu Jōsutā) also known as Jojo, is the main protagonist of Battle Tendency, a core ally in Stardust Crusaders, being a grandfather of the story's main protagonist, Jotaro Kujo. The younger version of Joseph is one of the hidden characters in the game.

According to the game's Story Mode, a missed opportunity in the manga, Alessi uses his Stand to de-age Joseph, however, instead of becoming a child, he becomes a young man in his prime.

Young Joseph (Youngseph for short) does not have a Stand yet, instead, he uses his Hamon based attacks and signature Clackers, making a lot of references to the part 2 of the main story. Also, unlike his older version, he is more of a zoning type character with some better rushdown tools, allowing for a more careless playstyle.

Pros Cons
  • Good Mobility
  • High priority on air Normals
  • Can run his game in most Matchups with a good set of both Far and Close ranged Tools
  • Decent Damage output despite having very Simple Combos
  • Can also dish-out Moderately high to Really high damage with Aja setups and 236aa punishes
  • Has a Passive Stand (technically none at all)
  • Has crazy Meter gain but very little use for Supers outside of punishing aerial attacks and Aja setups
  • Easily punishable Pokes and Pressure
  • All Projectile Attacks have very long Startup
  • Slowest Wakeup in the game, tied with Old Joseph
  • Due to these cons, some of his tools can seriously become inefficient and predictable at worst
