==Gameplay==

[[File:JJBA ASB gameplay.jpg|thumb|left|[[Jonathan Joestar]] (right) blocking an attack from [[Dio Brando]] (''Phantom Blood'' version, left). The in game display includes a health bar, Guard Gauge, and Heart Heat Gauge.]]

 

Attacking and receiving damage fills up a player's {{nihongo|Heart Heat Gauge|ハートヒートゲージ|Hāto Hīto Gēji}} which, when filled to either one or two levels, allows players to perform powerful {{nihongo|Heart Heat Attacks|ハートヒートアタック|Hāto Hīto Attakku|HHA}} or {{nihongo|Great Heat Attacks|グレートヒートアタック|Gurēto Hīto Attaku|GHA}}, depending on how much their gauge is filled and which multiple button input is chosen. Players can decrease their opponent's Heart Heat Gauge by using taunts when they are knocked down. Players can also use Flash Cancels{{efn|group=lower-greek|{{nihongo|Strange Cancel|プッツンキャンセル|Puttsun Kyanseru}}}} to deplete their own Heart Heat Gauge to cancel their current combo attack and chain into a new one.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 オールスターバトル』最新情報！ 新たに4人のキャラクターの参戦が決定!!|url=http://www.famitsu.com/news/201209/13020986.html|magazine=[[Famitsu]]|access-date=2012-09-26|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004092102/http://www.famitsu.com/news/201209/13020986.html|archive-date=2012-10-04}}</ref> The Heart Heat Gauge is also used in some Battle Styles and certain special techniques. {{nihongo|Rush Mode|ラッシュモード|Rasshu Mōdo}}, similar to the "Blazing Fists Match" system of [[Capcom]]'s [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (video game)|1998 fighting game based on the series]], occurs when two "Rush" attacks collide with each other, beginning a button mashing minigame. When a character's Stamina is low, the character enters one of two modes to turn the tide of the match: {{nihongo|Rumble Mode|ゴゴゴモード|Gogogo Mōdo}}, which increases the character's attack strength and Heart Heat Gauge restoration, and {{nihongo|Resolve Mode|覚悟モード|Kakugo Mōdo}}, which in addition to the bonuses from Rumble Mode adds a temporary invincible armor as well. Novice players can use the {{nihongo|Easy Beat|イージービート|Ījī Bīto}} system, which allows them to more easily string together combos and techniques by using only a single button. Along with the stamina gauge, players also have a {{nihongo|Guard Gauge|ガードゲージ|Gādo Gēji}} which depletes when they block attacks, causing them to become vulnerable if it is completely drained in a {{nihongo|Guard Crush|ガードクラッシュ|Gādo Kurasshu}}. The Guard Gauge is also depleted by Stylish Evades,{{efn|group=lower-greek|{{nihongo|Stylish Moves|スタイリッシュムーブ|Sutairisshu Mūbu}}}} special dodges that when executed properly make the character perform one of their iconic poses from the manga. The remaster adds three new mechanics; Assist Attacks, in which players can summon another character for an attack, Air Dash, which lets fighters dash in the air, and Stylish Guard, which lets players dodge attacks at the last second.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.comingsoon.net/games/news/1227283-jojos-bizarre-adventure-all-star-battle-r-producer-details-changes-new-features | title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R Producer Details New Features | date=20 June 2022 }}</ref>

Versus Mode features both local offline play and online play in either free battles or ranked matches which affect a player's Battle Score.<ref name=rohan>{{cite web |url=http://www.famitsu.com/news/201306/06034323.html |title=『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 オールスターバトル』最新情報！ 岸辺露伴＆カーズ参戦！ - ファミ通.com |publisher=Famitsu.com |date=2013-06-06 |access-date=2013-06-12 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130610085603/http://www.famitsu.com/news/201306/06034323.html |archive-date=2013-06-10 }}</ref> The Western version of the game adds an Arcade Mode, in which the player faces up against eight computer-controlled opponents.

 

 

===Battle Styles===

Characters each possess one of five main {{nihongo|Battle Styles|バトルスタイル|Batoru Sutairu}}, reflecting the origins of their own abilities from the manga's continuity, although some characters may possess aspects of the other Battle Styles.

*{{nihongo|Stand|スタンド|Sutando}}: Stand users can bring out their respective Stand at will, offering different movesets and special attacks. They also possess a unique {{nihongo|Stand Rush|スタンドラッシュ|Sutando Rasshu}} ability that allows them to unsync with the Stand mid combo to begin a new combo. Some characters possess Stands that are always active and have different play styles than other Stand using characters. For example, Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum is toggled on or off by the player while Hol Horse's Emperor is always active.

*{{nihongo|Mounted|騎乗|Kijō}}: Characters Mounted on horseback have the ability to call their horse at will, offering up different movesets on or off their horses. These characters also possess Stands, but they are only seen during certain moves.

There are a total of 32 playable characters available on the game disc, with 14 available from the start. Nine additional characters were made available as [[downloadable content|DLC]], eventually bringing the total number of characters to 41. One of these downloadable characters, Ikuro Hashizawa, makes a guest appearance from Hirohiko Araki's earlier manga series, ''[[Baoh]]''.

;Part 8 ''JoJolion''

As a way to promote the video game, Namco Bandai and CyberConnect2 performed a series of [[Livestream]] broadcasts called {{nihongo|''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle League''|ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 オールスターバトルリーグ|JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Ōru Sutā Batoru Rīgu}} during July and August 2013. During the broadcasts, Bandai Namco producer Noriaki Niino, CyberConnect2 producer Hiroshi Matsuyama, and comedian and ''JoJo'' fan [[Kendo Kobayashi]] hosted a tournament between the computer controlled characters to display gameplay. There were six sets of preliminary matches where characters were grouped together randomly, with the top two characters out of each group moving onto the quarter-finals. A seventh group consisting of the last characters to be announced and a fan favorite from the previous groups was run, with the winner joining the other twelve characters. Several fan favorite characters were included as seats. The sixteen characters then were put into a tournament bracket, with the winner of the ''All Star Battle League'' ultimately being Dio. To commemorate the victory, a special PlayStation 3 theme featuring Dio and his Stand The World was made available.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mirror.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/asb/custom.html |title=ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 オールスターバトル &#124; バンダイナムコゲームス公式サイト |publisher=Mirror.bandaigames.channel.or.jp |access-date=2013-10-10 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131014073414/http://mirror.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/asb/custom.html |archive-date=2013-10-14 }}</ref>
