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

Joseph Joestar (ジョセフ・ジョースター Josefu Jōsutā) also known as Jojo, is the main protagonist of Battle Tendency, a core ally in Stardust Crusaders, being a grandfather of the story's main protagonist, Jotaro Kujo. The younger version of Joseph is one of the hidden characters in the game.

According to the game's Story Mode, a missed opportunity in the manga, Alessi uses his Stand to de-age Joseph, however, instead of becoming a child, he becomes a young man in his prime.

Young Joseph (Youngseph for short) does not have a Stand yet, instead, he uses his Hamon based attacks and signature Clackers, making a lot of references to the part 2 of the main story. Also, unlike his older version, he is more of a zoning type character with some better rushdown tools, allowing for a more careless playstyle.

Good Mobility High priority on air Normals Can run his game in most Matchups with a good set of both Far and Close ranged Tools Decent Damage output despite having very Simple Combos Can also dish-out Moderately high to Really high damage with Aja setups and 236aa punishes	Has a Passive Stand (technically none at all) Has crazy Meter gain but very little use for Supers outside of punishing aerial attacks and Aja setups Easily punishable Pokes and Pressure All Projectile Attacks have very long Startup Slowest Wakeup in the game, tied with Old Joseph Due to these cons, some of his tools can seriously become inefficient and predictable at worst
