JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R: Jolyne Cujoh Combo Guide

Numpad numbers represent the in game directions.
4 is left, 6 is right, 2 is down, 8 is up and 5 is neutral.If you’ve played Street Fighter or other non-anime fighting games, this notation may feel a bit alien to you, but once you get used to it, it’s very intuitive. For example, a quarter circle forward input would be written as 236L and a DP input would be written as 623L.

• L – Light Attack
• M – Medium Attack
• H – Heavy Attack
• S – Stand on/off
• A – Assist
• HHA – Heart Heat Attack
• GHA – Great Heat Attack

j indicates that an attack is during jumping, so jM means jumping medium attack.
Ok, with these basics out of the way, onto Jolyne’s moves!

• 6H – Whatever It Takes To Win!
• 236 L/M/H – Sweet Dreams, Creep!
• 63214 L/M/H – Your Body’s Best Angle To Punch
• 22 L/M/H – String Barrier
• 412 L/M/H – I Don’t Need Strength To Block With String! (This is her parry move)

Stand ON

• 236 L/M/H – So You’re The Enemy, Huh?
• 623 L/M/H – Don’t Wait! Just Attack
• 2 L/M/H – I Won’t Cut My String Yet! (during Don’t Wait! Just Attack)
• 1H/2H/3H (in air) – Stringing Me For A Ride!
• 27/28/29 – With My String! (Press down and then quickly an up direction to activate)

Heat Attacks

• HHA – 1,000 Throws [Requires 1 gauge of HH]
  • 236 L+M or M+H or L+H (any 2 attack buttons)
• GHA – Time To Retire You! [Requires 2 gauges of HH]
  • 236 L+M+H (all 3 attack buttons)

• 236 L/M/H – Sweet Dreams, Creep!
  This is Jolyne’s Lightning Legs, she kicks out with a flurry of Ora Ora kicks which can be combo’d into her HHA.
• 412 L/M/H – I Don’t Need Strength To Block With String!
  Jolyne draws a string from her hand to the ground, any attack that touches the string will be countered by Jolyne’s kicks automatically. The different attack buttons modify how long Jolyne will take this parry stance. Light behind the longest and Heavy being the shortest.
  
• 63214 L/M/H – Your Body’s Best Angle To Punch
  Jolyne casts out a thread which reaches across the bottom of the screen, if this hits your opponent, they will be wrapped in string while Stone Free punches them.
  
• 27/28/29 – With My String! (Press down and then quickly an up direction to activate)
  This is a lot more straight forward than it looks, simply press a down direction and then an up direction quickly in order to activate this. Jolyne can use this movement to get into place and in the middle of combos. It’s a super jump.
  
• 22 L/M/H – String Barrier
  Double tap down plus an attack button to set up a vertical weave of thread that can be used to catch your opponent out from behind or use it to create space between you.
  Using this while your opponent is knocked down can lead to some great Oki potential*
  *Translator’s note: Okizeme (起き攻め) or Oki referes to pressuing an opponent while they are getting up after being knocked down

The easy combo system in ASBR allows you to easily pull of a combo by just pressing 1 button repeatedly. The draw back is that the easy combo version does less damage than if you were to do the inputs normally.
You can input the easy combo by spamming L like this:

• L > L > L > L > L

I have you have 1 bar of Heat Gauge, it will automatically add the HHA to the end for you also.
However if you want to do it properly for that extra bit of damage, Jolyne’s easy combo consists of the following:

• 5L > 5M > 5H > 236H > HHA

The combo damage difference can be seen here:

…It might not look like much, but that extra damage can be the difference between losing and winning.

This opener is used quite often in these combos, so I will abbreviate 5L > 5M > 5H as 5LMH from now on.
For example: 5L > 5M > 5H > 236H > HHA becomes 5LMH > 236H > HHA

Now, let’s use that basic combo as a basis for some other fun combos.
We can squeeze a 6H after the initial light, medium, heavy and see what happens.

• 5LMH > 236H
• 5LMH > 6H > 236H

Adding 6H takes us from 168 damage to 182 damage, nice!

Now that we’ve added that 6H, let’s swap out will then allow us to combo into “What Angle Is Best To Hit You From?”, however only the light or medium versions will land. This results in a 182 Damage meterless combo.

• 5LMH > 6H > 63214M

This is a nice option, but cannot be combo’d into HHA like the previous combo, so keep that in mind.
GHA requires 2 bars and can be executed as part of this basic combo:

• 5LMH > 6H > GHA

Once you’ve mastered Jolyne’s basic combo, we can do a few things to extend it.
We can use our assists to add some additional meterless damage, but with Jotaro specifically we can do Jolyne’s basic combo twice in a row if we time things right.

• 5LMH > 236H > assist > 5LMH > 236H

This results in a 435 damage meterless combo.
In order to pull this off you need to delay activating Jotaro’s assist until after Jolyne’s kicks have connected. Once Star Platinum is juggling your opponent you can dash forward and begin another combo just before the assist finishes.

The video below demonstrates this in action.
