JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future/Young Joseph

Introduction

JoJo is Joeseph Joestar from the 2nd series of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (vols. 6-12). According to the story of the game, Joeseph is made younger by Alessy, who then runs away, leaving Joseph young until he defeats Alessy. I don't know if this actually happens in the manga, though. He plays like Joseph, but without a stand, he loses quite a few moves, but he gains some as well.

JoJo is a much better character than his older self (which makes perfect sense), He can either rush down, or when the chips are down, turtle very well. He is a versitile character with an almost shoto feel to him. And being without a stand puts him at an advantage over most of the characters, i.e., no stand crash.

Advanced Strategy

The fact that the slide kick can cancel into any move is very advantageous. Basically, you can run away from the enemy, do a slide kick to punish your opponent for chasing you and cancel into anything you like.

The Hamon Beam is a terrible super to use point blank (since it can be ducked easily), and cannot be comboed into, due to delay so here is a set-up: use the crackers sweep (which can be combo'ed into) and do the Hamon Beam right before they hit the ground. By the time the start up is finished, your opponent will get up and eat the beam for massive damage!

JoJo's "Crackers" are your friend in the air, just don't do it too much or you'll end up eating an anti-air super!

Only use the C Overdrive if you are sure you can land it, the start up is too long to make mistatkes.

NEVER use the cracker boomerang up close. Start-up is too great. Use at half- to full-scren distance from opponent.

Here is a throw setup: Crackers upper, j.S, land directly in front of opponent and throw. If they do not air tech afterward, juggle with Iron bowgun (A or B version) or get them on wakeup w/hamon beam.
