Introduction

Insert character introduction here.

• EX Moves: For the cost of 0.5 bars, Joseph can perform enhanced versions of his special moves. These enhanced moves cause Hamon Damage against Vampire and Pillar Men characters, making these moves deal extra damage against them.
• Counters: Joseph's moveset features several counters, which level up his "Guess I did it again!" mechanic, increasing the damage of his Hamon attacks even further.

Playstyle

Joseph Joestar is a Hamon character who utilizes crafty nature to mix between quick and punishing counters and high damage offense to keep the battle in his favor
Pros	Cons
High Damage: Joseph can do above average damage without spending too much meter, allowing him to make every hit hurt. His damage becomes even higher when he raises his "Guess I did it again!" Level Just hit me!: Joseph has access to plenty of counters, allowing him to create many tricky situations for the opponent to be in and catch their attacks Potent Anti-Airs: Both 3S and 623X allow Joseph to anti-air the opponent very effectively, as well as being able to deal considerable damage Adaptable: Joseph has situations where options allow Joseph to convert into full combos where many characters would not, allowing him to combo on the fly	Meter Hungry: Joseph's best options are all locked behind their EX versions, forcing him to spend meter constantly in order to maximize his damage and options

"Guess I did it again!" Level

By landing several of his counters, Joseph can buff the amount of damage any Hamon-compatible skill does, increasing his overall damage output. Joseph begins at level 0, and can increase for up to 4 levels.
