Introduction
Jonathan Joestar, the protagonist of Phantom Blood, the first part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, is a versatile character who is good at many things. He excels at extending combos and pressure using Hamon specials, the main gimmick of Hamon Style characters. His neutral shines around mid-range, where his "Sendo Overdrive" projectiles reach, 6M will poke, and "The Sword of Luck and Pluck" will reach. Jonathan will almost always have a solid knockdown off of any hit, as if he confirms into 6M, he is guaranteed to get a followup. Up close, this can lead to a full combo, but can also be used to build meter with "Hamon Breathing" if too far away.
On offense, Jonathan has some fairly safe options, with "Overdrive Barrage" or "Sendo Overdrive" being used to end blockstrings: both options will create some distance between himself and the opponent, and the former will provide a soft launch on hit. Ending blockstrings with the EX versions of these moves also opens the opportunity to get a combo off of a stray hit in said blockstring, as both launch the opponent high into the air. Jonathan has a lot of opportunities to spend meter to extend his combos, leading him to have above average damage with the cost of sometimes running out of meter.
On defense, Jonathan has a meterless invincible reversal with "Scarlet Overdrive": each version has varying degrees of invincibility, making it very versatile in different situations. The M, H, and S variants all add a hit before the uppercut, which can either hit Assists out of the way or be used to add more damage to the move. This makes it a bit more tricky for the opponent to attack on his wakeup, as there is always the chance that Jonathan switches the variation of "Scarlet Overdrive" he uses to turn the tide of battle back to his favor.
- EX Moves: For the cost of 0.5 bars, Jonathan can perform enhanced versions of his special moves, which will also cause Hamon Damage against Stone Mask characters.
- This is my final Hamon!: For the cost of all meter available (and a requirement of 1 bar), Jonathan can prepare a resurrection that replaces his special moves with their EX versions.
