Introduction

The primary protagonist from Stardust Crusaders, the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Jotaro Kujo is one of the most well-rounded characters in the game, with a strong combination of normals and special moves that make his neutral game scary to play around. His air and ground buttons are fast and convert into high-damage combos, easy hard knockdowns, and simple loopable vortex pressure that closes out rounds in a pinch. While his Stand-Off buttons encourage you to use his smaller hurtbox to slip between the enemy's defenses to start your strings, Stand-On mode's buttons are much more oppressive and powerful, sacrificing a bit of speed and utility for sheer brute force and meter dump combos. Combined with his time-stop, Jotaro is one of the most fearsome characters to have to approach in ASBR.

• Notable Trait: Jotaro is one of three characters in the game with the ability to stop time, with a very slow startup possible at 1.5 bars that gets faster with the more meter you have built. It is similar to Axl's timestop from Strive, although all limits of the IPS still apply. All attacks can be performed in timestop, including grab, which automatically ends the timestop. More details included in the move's section.

Playstyle

Jotaro Kujo is a Stand character who utilizes his large normals and powerful neutral tools to control the midrange.
Pros	Cons
Oppressive buttons: Incredibly good normals that allow him to force the opponent to play his game. Ease of use: Easy combos, high damage, and versatility with nearly any assist, as well as an invincible reversal in the form of his 623X.	Weakness to zoning: Gets slightly countered by well-timed zoning and keepaway characters. Predictable neutral: Predictable approach options, and usually has to rely on strike/throw mixups as opposed to crossups.

Normal Moves

5L

5L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 14 Mid 7 - - 0 +4 Jotaro raises his leg to do a small knee attack. Slightly poor range, and not as good for neutral as his other grounded normals.

5M

5M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 24 Mid 7 - - -2 +2 Jotaro does a backhanded fist attack. One of Jotaro's best neutral tools, as it gives you medium scaling on it and can keep you relatively safe on block.

5H

5H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 37 Mid 13 - - -6 0 Jotaro summons Star Platinum to attack with a fist from over his shoulder. Another strong neutral option, though much less positive on block. Needs to be made safe with 3H or a special move at point blank if blocked.

2L

2L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 13 Low 7 - - 0 +4 Jotaro attacks with a crouching backfist strike.

2M

2M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 22 Low 7 - - -3 +2 A crouching underhand blow.

2H

2H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 36 Low 13 - - -16 - Jotaro summons Star Platinum to attack with a crouching fist, knocking the opponent down on hit. VERY minus on block. Always cancel into 3H if possible. Causes hard knockdown

3H

3H Back off.	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 17 Low 13 - - -12 -6 Jotaro does a downwards kick with the tip of his boot. Command low. Very good way to catch your opponent not blocking low. Minus on block and hit, so remember to either cancel into a special move that's safe or plus, or go into quick stand-on to continue pressure or the combo, at the cost of half a bar.

JL

j.L File:JJASBR Jotaro jL.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 16 Overhead 11 - - - - Jotaro attacks with the tip of his knee. Small hitbox and not much hitstun. j.M and j.H are better as air-to-airs, so go with those in most situations.

JM

j.M File:JJASBR Jotaro jM.png The god normal. The god normal.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 21 Overhead 11 - - - - A diving kick with a lot of active frames. The hitbox for this move covers both sides of Jotaro's leg, and even a little bit of his upper waist, so feel free to abuse it for crossups. Amazing for okizeme, as the amount of active frames makes meaties easy to perform and allows you to vary your timing to watch for wakeup parry. One of Jotaro's best air tools.

JH

j.H File:JJASBR Jotaro jH.png The (other) god normal. The (other) god normal.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 38 Overhead 19 - - - - Star Platinum appears for a diving punch attack. Insanely high amount of active frames + hitstun, allowing you to bully your way into neutral via repeatedly forcing your opponent to block this button. Use this normal in combination with dash jumps to give Jotaro a terrifying presence midscreen, being able to jump at you with a full combo at almost any time.

Stand On

Normal Moves

Stand 5L

5L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 18 Mid 5 - - -2 +2 Star Platinum does a short-ranged jab. Due to being a mid, s5L isn't Jotaro's best stand-on poking option, as he would prefer s2L for that in most situations due to it being a low.

Stand 5M

5M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 36 Mid 9 - - -8 -4 Star Platinum strikes with a quick hook. Medium normal, meaning it gives some of the best possible scaling for a combo on hit if it connects. Deceptive hitbox, allowing for cheesy counter hit openings from a distance your opponent may not expect.

Stand 5H

5H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 44 Mid 15 - - -12 -6 Star Platinum swings down with an overhand punch. Formerly the animation for Jotaro's s6H in vanilla ASB.

Stand 2L

2L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 17 Low 7 - - 0 +4 A close-range crouching jab. Big hitbox, and the universal hitstop being so high means that it's incredibly easy to convert into full combos from this move. Feel free to abuse in neutral whenever possible, considering it's neutral on block. Great for stagger pressure, and tick throws, due to the low hitstun.

Stand 2M

2M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 30 Low 9 - - -6 -2 Star Platinum does a crouching uppercut.
