1.0-Joesph Joestar's Bio
------------------------------------

Joesph Joestar
Country: England
Height: 195 cm
Weight: 97 kg
Relations to anyone: Jotaro's grandfather
Stand: Hermit Purple
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------


"It's not age, it's experience!" Joseph Jostar is the elderly grandfather of
Jotaro.
He uses a mass of living vines known as Hermit Purple as his Stand.
Since the revival of Dio, Joseph has been searching the world to trying to
destroy the vampire who caused his daughter Holly to become ill.
Joseph uses a Weapon Stand, but he fights fairly effectively without it as
well.
His biggest weakness is the lack of range in his Super Combos.
After a run in with Alessi, Joseph Joestar got a second chance at youth.
And since Alessi ran away like the coward he is, Joseph was forced to stay
that way for awhile.
In this form, Joseph loses his Stand and all related moves, but he gains
numerous weapons.
All the art for this character is from the second series, when Joseph was
the star of the story.

4.0-How to use Joesph Joestar effectively
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joesph Joestar,at first,may seem like a hard character to use,especially
the 360 moves. But,once you get the feel of him,you can let loose. Try
to not to use his Hermit Web to often,as it always usually gets blocked.

Joesph's Hop Kick(F+A) is excellent when you feel like "poking",but
don't use it to often,as it can be countered easily.

Joesph's jumping Heavy attack is perfect for jumping in. Use this to
your advantage,such as comboing into a Masters Teachings super.

Without his stand,Joesph is just as good. Use the Turqouise Blue
Overdrive if you want to keep your enemy away.

His Master Teachings is one of the dopest supers in the whole game.
So flashy and cool,although it's not really that powerful. Use it
when the you see an opening,and when the opponent is near death,for
some good results. A good way to set up a Masters Teachings is to
go up to them,press the Medium Attack button,Joesph will uppercut them
into the air,then before the land,do the command for the Masters
Teachings,and BAM! You've just shown them that age has plenty of
experience!

A good stragety against Vanilla Ice(Iced) is right before he activates
his stand,jump up quickly to him,and press the medium attack button.
Joesph will do a sort of uppercut move that will knock him into the
air,then,just keep on doing this until he runs out of life! This works
ESPECIALLY WELL in the corner. He'll keep trying to break out of it,
which is actually pretty funny. But once you start,don't stop! If you
do,he'll just recover quickly and hit you easily.
