Joseph Joestar (Old)

Joseph Joestar is a supporting protagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part III: Stardust Crusaders. He was originally the main protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part II: Battle Tendency, albeit much younger.

Joseph is the biological grandson of Jonathan Joestar, as well as the biological father of Josuke Higashikata and the biological grandfather of Jotaro Kujo. In Stardust Crusaders, Joseph returns decades later, now an elderly 69-year old man, to act as a mentor figure to his grandson Jotaro, helping him on a quest to find and kill Dio Brando. Although he is still quite skilled in Hamon from his adventures years ago, he now possesses the stand Hermit Purple, which is capable of various forms of divination, including psychic photography. Unlike other stands, Hermit Purple does not manifest itself as a separate humanoid entity, but is physically bound to Joseph, who is able to use Hermit Purple like a weapon or rope, which he can control at will. Joseph is also capable of using Hermit Purple's vines to amplify and transmit his own Hamon attacks.

In M.U.G.E.N, Joseph Joestar has been made by various creators.

Nimame's version


Nimame's version of Old Joseph is a slow, but strong character with a few unique abilities, such as using his Stand, Hermit Purple, to grab his opponent from a distance and either pull them towards him or deal damage by sending Hamon energy through his stand, which is performed by mashing attack buttons while the opponent is grabbed. He also has a counter move in which he charges himself with energy. With a good amount of versatility to his techniques and methods to approach their opponent, he is a solid choice of character to play.

His A.I. is slightly above normal, and will use his Hypers effectively.
