Take a first look at what players can expect in the demo:
What’s new in All-Star Battle R
Originally released in 2014, All-Star Battle R is more than just a remaster of a fan-favorite fighting game. Character models and voiceovers have been redone to match the hugely popular JoJo Anime to create an authentic JoJo experience. You will also find new mechanics, like assists, engaging players in modern and fast-paced gameplay.

Limited to a finite amount of uses per match, assists allow players to strategically amplify their attacks and combos Where defensively disrupt their opponents. With 50 uniquely designed characters to choose from, players will be able to mix, match and optimize their playstyle.
Tips for the demo
Want to quickly climb to the top of online matchmaking? Here are some quick tips to get you started.
Enjoy Easy Beat mode:
By spamming your light attack button, your fighter will complete a combo of light, medium, and heavy attacks. If you have at least 1 gauge bar, it will activate the fighters HHA (a mini super move).
Caption: DIO may have all the time in The World, but he could still use some help.
Use your assists when you’re in a bind:
Get bludgeoned? Can you feel the pressure of a super move (GHA) being charged? Send your help to disrupt them and even the playing field.
Assault Aids: Different actions are performed by each character, such as rush attacks, long-range attacks, and setup traps. If they can be successfully integrated into combos, they can do a lot of damage.
Inversion aids: When defending or taking damage, the assist character steps in and cuts off the opponent’s attack. Assist Gauge recovery is slower than when used during an assist attack.
Flash Cancel to go on the offensive:
Flash Cancel shortens your combos and immediately lets you start a new one – but be careful! Canceling flash costs a full yard, which can leave you dry when you could have saved up for a game-changing super move (GHA).
Caption: Four iconic JoJo characters are playable during the demo but 50 characters will be available in the full game.
