All-Star Battle R ★ Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli
Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli (シーザー・アントニオ・ツェペリ, Shīzā Antonio Tseperi) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
As Caesar's voice actor in both the Battle Tendency anime and the original All-Star Battle, Takuya Sato reprises his role in this game as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Caesar were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Caesar has 950 health and uses the Ripple (波紋, Hamon) Battle Style, which allows him to use the "Ripple Breathing" special to charge his Heart Heat Gauge. He can also draw from his Heart Heat Gauge in order to perform Ripple-enhanced versions of his various skills, increasing their power and utility.
This section requires expansion.
