The game uses a 2D side-view one-on-one fighting system. Players choose from a cast of JoJo characters and battle through rounds using normal attacks, special moves, throws, dodges, and Stand commands. Many fighters can switch between their normal form and Stand mode, changing move properties and tactical options. Arcade-style progression and training-like practice elements help players learn each character’s range, confirms, and counters.

Characters
Jotaro Kujo
A close-range powerhouse with heavy Stand attacks and strong pressure tools.

The series rival, built around oppressive offense and time-related Stand abilities.
Noriaki Kakyoin
A zoning-oriented fighter who uses Stand attacks to control space and punish approaches.
Jean Pierre Polnareff

Joseph Joestar

Strategy
Learn each character’s Stand activation rules and how long the Stand remains active. Use movement and spacing to test the opponent before committing to pressure. Avoid reckless offense when cornered; instead, block patiently, retreat when possible, and punish predictable attacks. Mix throws, jump-ins, and grounded pressure to keep the opponent guessing.
