The primary protagonist of "JoJolion", the eighth part of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", Josuke Higashikata 8 is a character who gains momentum by utilizing a variety of powerful okizeme setups. Josuke specializes in strong strike-throw pressure and uses deceptive mobility to start high damage combos that lead to dangerous hard knockdown situations. His playstyle in Stand Off revolves around closing the gap in mid-range and starting his oki setups. "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Part 8#236X|So slippery!]]" hits low and travels far, making it very effective at catching opponents off guard. Also, while not as good a neutral tool, "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Part 8#623X|Don't mess with me.]]" has invincibility frames allowing Josuke to dash through even multi-hitting projectiles (i.e. Emerald Splash, Narancia's bullets, Risotto's scalpels, etc.). "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Part 8#22X|How to use the bubbles...]]" is his primary okizeme tool, creating a wall of bubbles that surround Josuke. Using this move after grab or on knockdown greatly limits the opponent's options on wake-up. In Stand-On, his gameplan is focused on applying strong pressure using his long-range normals. [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Part 8#Stand 5H|S.5H]] in particular is plus on block, allowing for easy stagger pressure.

Josuke specializes in strong strike-throw pressure, and uses deceptive mobility to start high damage combos that lead to dangerous hard knockdown situations.


*'''Link Combos''': Josuke 8 is able to link from special into normals much more easily than other characters, being able to juggle at both midscreen and in the corner. This leads to him having high damage potential on many hits.  
His playstyle in Stand Off revolves around closing the gap in mid-range and starting his oki setups. "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (Part 8)#236X|So slippery!]]" hits Low and travels far, making it very effective at catching opponents off guard. Also, while not as good a neutral tool, "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (Part 8)#623X|Don't mess with me.]]" has upper-body invincibility frames, allowing Josuke to dash through even multi-hitting projectiles (i.e. [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]]'s Emerald Splash, [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Narancia Ghirga|Narancia]]'s bullets, [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Risotto Nero|Risotto]]'s scalpels, etc.). "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (Part 8)#22X|How to use the bubbles...]]" is his primary okizeme tool, creating a wall of bubbles that surround Josuke; using this move after a knockdown (such as his [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (Part 8)#Throw|Throw]]) greatly limits the opponent's options on wake-up.


*'''HHA Combos''': Unlinke most characters in the game, Josuke 8 is able to combo after landing HHA, which leads to high damage, impressive meter gain, and an oki setup.
In Stand On, his gameplan is focused on applying pressure and contending in air-to-air situations using his long-range normals. [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (Part 8)#Stand JM|s.jM]] in particular causes a launch animation, allowing for effective punishes against errant jumpers. Additionally, "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (Part 8)#Stand 236X|The hell is your problem?!]]" makes for a decent anti-air and defensive tool. The medium and heavy versions in particular are excellent at avoiding well-timed attacks and creating distance.
 
*'''Link Combos''': Josuke is able to link from special moves into normals much more easily than other characters, being able to juggle at both midscreen and in the corner.

| pros =
* '''Self Sufficient:''' Josuke's meter gain is above average (especially in the corner) thanks to most of his moves being multi-hitting.
* '''Self-Sufficient:''' Josuke's meter gain is above average (especially in the corner) thanks to most of his moves being multi-hitting.
* '''Good Oki:''' Josuke's 22X can provide a sort of wall of safety after hard knockdown>3H OTG, giving him the chance to attack and start pressure. He also has a great variety of meaty setups.
* '''Good Oki:''' "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (Part 8)#22X|How to use the bubbles...]]" can provide a sort of wall of safety after a hard knockdown > 3H OTG, giving Josuke the chance to attack and start pressure. He also has a great variety of meaty setups.
* '''HHA:''' Josuke's HHA activation has invincible frames so defensive assists can't always interrupt it. It can also lead to a combo after a grounded hit.
* '''Not So Soft''': Unlike most characters in the game, Josuke is able to combo after landing his [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (Part 8)#Heart Heat Attack|HHA]], which leads to high damage, impressive meter gain, and a potential oki setup.
 
|cons =
|cons =
* '''Needs Meter:''' If not facing the corner, Josuke needs meter in order to start any decent damage combos.
* '''Execution:''' Josuke's combos are very long and somewhat precise (especially in the corner). Calling assist after HHA has strict timing.
* '''Commital Neutral Options:''' Most of Josuke's long-range neutral tools have a lot of recovery on whiff or are very unsafe on block, so approaching in neutral can be risky without enough meter to Flash Cancel.
* '''Needs Meter''' If not facing the corner, Josuke needs meter in order to start any decent damage combo's.

*Least amount of recovery
Josuke covers himself with bubbles, which will start moving forward after a brief moment.
*Primary okizeme tool
*Different versions alter the velocity of the bubbles, although all of them are very slow regardless.
*None of the versions reach midscreen.
*Due to its slow startup, it's not a good projectile or combo filler. Instead, it plays the role of an oki tool.
----
'''L version:'''
*Has the most recovery, but can be Flash Cancelled the soonest.

'''M version:'''
*Balanced recovery and Flash Cancel timing.

Introduction

This article is about the character from Part 8, JoJolion, primarily known as "Josuke 8". For information about the character from Part 4, Diamond is Unbreakable, see Josuke Higashikata (Part 4).

The primary protagonist of JoJolion, the eighth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Josuke Higashikata is a character who gains momentum by utilizing a variety of powerful okizeme setups. Josuke specializes in strong strike-throw pressure, and uses deceptive mobility to start high damage combos that lead to dangerous hard knockdown situations.

His playstyle in Stand Off revolves around closing the gap in mid-range and starting his oki setups. "So slippery!" hits Low and travels far, making it very effective at catching opponents off guard. Also, while not as good a neutral tool, "Don't mess with me." has upper-body invincibility frames, allowing Josuke to dash through even multi-hitting projectiles (i.e. Kakyoin's Emerald Splash, Narancia's bullets, Risotto's scalpels, etc.). "How to use the bubbles..." is his primary okizeme tool, creating a wall of bubbles that surround Josuke; using this move after a knockdown (such as his Throw) greatly limits the opponent's options on wake-up.

In Stand On, his gameplan is focused on applying pressure and contending in air-to-air situations using his long-range normals. s.jM in particular causes a launch animation, allowing for effective punishes against errant jumpers. Additionally, "The hell is your problem?!" makes for a decent anti-air and defensive tool. The medium and heavy versions in particular are excellent at avoiding well-timed attacks and creating distance.

  • Link Combos: Josuke is able to link from special moves into normals much more easily than other characters, being able to juggle at both midscreen and in the corner.
Playstyle
JJASBR Josuke Part 8 Small Icon.png Josuke Higashikata 8 is a Stand character who utilizes his strong neutral presence and various okizeme setups to keep the opponent guessing.
Pros Cons
  • Self-Sufficient: Josuke's meter gain is above average (especially in the corner) thanks to most of his moves being multi-hitting.
  • Good Oki: "How to use the bubbles..." can provide a sort of wall of safety after a hard knockdown > 3H OTG, giving Josuke the chance to attack and start pressure. He also has a great variety of meaty setups.
  • Not So Soft: Unlike most characters in the game, Josuke is able to combo after landing his HHA, which leads to high damage, impressive meter gain, and a potential oki setup.
  • Needs Meter: If not facing the corner, Josuke needs meter in order to start any decent damage combos.
  • Commital Neutral Options: Most of Josuke's long-range neutral tools have a lot of recovery on whiff or are very unsafe on block, so approaching in neutral can be risky without enough meter to Flash Cancel.
