This is... Baoh! (これがッ！　これがッ！　これが『バオー』だッ！)

”

—Baoh the Visitor Chapter 1: Baoh, the Ultimate Weapon

Ikuro Hashizawa (橋沢 育朗, Hashizawa Ikurō) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's Part 4, 6, & 8 Reveal Trailer.

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.

Koki Uchiyama reprises his role as Ikuro from the original All-Star Battle. With Ikuro being unable to speak in his Baoh form, most of his dialogue consists of narration by Toru Okawa, also returning from the original All-Star Battle. As with a majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Ikuro were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay

Ikuro has 850 health and uses the Baoh Armed Phenomenon (バオー武装現象(アームド・フェノメノン), Baō Āmudo Fenomenon) Battle Style, which allows him to utilize his invincible body in a variety of attacks and slowly regenerate health over time. Ikuro represents the "Glass Cannon" sub-archetype of combatant, and firmly 'rushdown'. Despite his low health, he also sports the highest dash speed of any character in the game, making it easier for him to close the distance on his opponent or maneuver into favorable positions more frequently. Several projectiles, a super jump, and a forward-moving attack also serve in covering his approach. His skills all execute with great speed, as well as offer methods to repeatedly switch sides and force his foe into guessing what direction to guard in. When combined with his great damage output and Style action that allows him to shrug off incoming attacks, Ikuro is an oppressive offensive fighter. At the same time, his innate health regeneration forces the opponent to continuously engage him during battle so as to not allow him to recover any significant amount of lost health. In this manner, Ikuro also holds the advantage in prolonged rounds.

True to his role, however, Ikuro is fragile and his defense is poor. His Saber Phenomenon, his main combo starters, can easily be punished if he whiffs or gets blocked. Baoh also doesn't have any way to escape pressure other than using his Saber Off reversal, which leaves him extremely vulnerable if it is blocked or whiffed. He can also evade attacks using the Stylish Guard, but using this mechanic is also extremely risky. His "This is Baoh!" Style may activate fast and give him invulnerability to force his way through enemy attacks, but in the face of an aggressive opponent, Baoh won't get the chance to activate it without getting hit in response.

As a whole, Ikuro is a fickle and difficult combatant to wield. He rapidly overwhelms and defeats anyone who is unfamiliar with his powers, but may easily become the one being overwhelmed in turn. Nonetheless, with good execution and strong momentum in his favor, Ikuro can very quickly capture victory before his opponent has a chance to regain control over the battle and retaliate.

This is Baoh! (これが『バオー』だッ！)

(Consumes 0.25 stock of HHG)

ON GROUND

• Enlarge

Adds super armor to the start of the next skill used. This means Baoh cannot be interrupted by any attack while performing a skill (except HHA/GHAs) until it finishes its startup. The armor lasts from startup all the way to the first active frame. However, Baoh still takes damage while tanking attacks, albeit halved.

Astonishing Leap (驚くべき跳躍)

// after pressing //

ON GROUND

• Enlarge

DescriptionReferences

Baoh leaps high into the air. The neutral jump takes Baoh significantly higher than the standard jump, while his horizontal jumps make him fly forward and cover significant distance. Excellent for blockstrings and combos.

Baoh Melting Acid (バオー・メルテッディン・パルム・フェノメノン)

ON GROUND

• Enlarge

• Enlarge

• Enlarge

DescriptionReferences

Ikuro lunges forward a good distance with his hand extended. If he strikes the opponent, he'll lift them up by the face and unleash Baoh Meltedin Palm Phenomenon, burning their face with acid, before slamming them into the ground. Damage is the same across all versions, with the difference being the heavier the version, the further Baoh will travel with his lunge, but the slower the startup will be. This skill is an excellent combo ender as well.

Attack type: High
Damage: 20 + 5 × 12 + 65 (145)

Baoh Hardened Saber (バオー・リスキニハーデン・セイバー・フェノメノン)

+ //

ON GROUND

• Enlarge

• Enlarge

• Enlarge

DescriptionReferences

Baoh uses his arm blades to attack the opponent with Baoh Reskiniharden Saber Phenomenon. The attack button inputted changes the attack significantly.

• Light (): Baoh dashes forward, slashing the opponent. It causes crumple on hit and can leave Baoh on the other side of the opponent if done close enough.
• Medium (): Baoh leaps into the air and performs a circular slash. It causes a crumple on hit and can cross-up the opponent if done close enough. This version can also be used as a combo-extender.
• Heavy (): Baoh unleashes a flurry of quick slashes with his blades, with the final hit uppercutting the opponent into the air. The final hit will not come out on whiff or block. This is Baoh's primary combo starter, letting Baoh launch the opponent into the air and continue the combo after Flash Canceling.

Saber Off! (セイバーッ、オフ！)

+ //

ON GROUND

• Enlarge

• Enlarge

• Enlarge

DescriptionReferences

Ikuro jumps into the air with a blade extended in an uppercutting attack, before spinning and using Saber Off to launch it as a spinning projectile downward. The attack button inputted determines how the move behaves.

• Light (): Baoh rises a small amount. It has no invincibility, no hard knockdown on the second hit, and does not throw the blade as a projectile.
• Medium (): Baoh rises slightly higher. It is an invulnerable anti-air, and the projectile thrown will curve and move forwards, enabling it to act as a second projectile along with "Baoh Shooting Bees Stinger Phenomenon!". The projectile can also hit downed opponents.
• Heavy (): Baoh rises the highest. It is the version with the most invincibility and recovery. The saber this version throws is hurled downwards at a 30 degree angle, able to hit downed opponents easier.

This move functions as an reversal and anti-air.

Attack type: High
Damage: 30 × 2 (60) / 40 + 35 (75) / 20 + 60 + 35 (15)

Baoh Shooting Stinger (バオー・シューティングビースス・スティンガー・フェノメノン)

+ //

ON GROUND

• Enlarge

DescriptionReferences

Baoh fires the needle-like hairs from his head as a projectile with Baoh Shooting-Bees Stinger Phenomenon. This attack also burns the opponent for a brief moment. The heavier versions of the attack will increase the damage and number of projectiles in the attack but at the cost of more startup and recovery. Baoh whipping his hair deals one of the hits, so using it at point-blank does slightly more damage. It is an excellent projectile which can be used for zoning, combo extensions, and even pressure if Baoh performs a Flash Cancel and runs behind it.

Attack type: High
Damage: 15 + 30 (45) / 15 × 2 + 30 (60) / 15 × 3 + 30 (75)

DescriptionReferences

After charging up for a moment, Ikuro discharges a potent blast of electricity outward from his body, shocking the opponent and sending them flying back. The electricity can also remove enemy projectiles. This skill has an extremely long startup even for its fastest version, making it only usable when catching the opponent off-guard with it. The heavier the attack, the further Baoh will move forward and the more hits will be dealt, but the startup time will also significantly increase. It notably does a great amount of guard gauge damage if blocked. There is a pull effect on the initial hit to catch sidestepping opponents.

Ikuro wires a large laser cannon to himself as his feet leave the ground, before firing a narrow red beam that travels across the screen instantly, mirroring the way Ikuro defeated the psychic warrior Walken.

ON GROUND

Ikuro roars as he charges at the opponent. If he makes contact, Ikuro will pick them up by the face and use Meltedin Palm Phenomenon before repeatedly assaulting them with a relentless extended Reskiniharden Saber Phenomenon combo attack. Ikuro then grabs the opponent by the neck and throws them overhead, slamming them into the ground hard enough for them to bounce. Finally, he unleashes a super-charged Baoh Break Dark Thunder Phenomenon from his hands to electrocute them. This GHA can easily hit from a combo due to its quick forward movement and large hitbox. However, it is a weak wake-up option, as it's easily blockable and jumpable.

Attack type: High
Damage: 372 / 446 / 558 (depending on HH gauge)

The animation speed of this move was tremendously sped up in patch 1.4.1. It can now be activated safely during combat with much less risk of the opponent catching Baoh in its animation. In patch 1.6.0, the invincibility during the active and recovery animation given to specials was removed in order to compensate for this massive speed increase.

The Light and Medium versions have been slowed down. The Light version of this attack has had its forward motion increased in patch 1.4.1, meaning that Baoh now travels slightly further during the move. The Heavy version was reworked in the same patch so that the final hit sending the opponent upwards will not trigger on block or whiff. The recovery of the final hit has also been slowed down tremendously, making it much less usable as an anti-air. There is also now a noticeable gap in the animation between the final hit and the rest of the attack, but it does not affect gameplay. The invincibility frames on the Heavy version were also removed.

DescriptionReferences

The startup speed of this attack has been greatly lengthened, making it much slower and extremely hard to use in combos. The knockback of this move has also been greatly increased, launching the opponent across the screen instead of just popping the opponent into the air like the previous version. This also completely revokes this move of any combo starting capabilities besides using the HHA to catch the opponent as they're being flung. Overall this special move has been greatly weakened in usability and is only now used during neutral to catch the opponent off-guard and to burn away their guard gauge.

Attack type: Middle

General Changes

• Baoh's increased block stun on hit has been removed. Infamously, blocking attacks as Baoh in the original game was extremely punishing, as the opponent could keep attacking him while he was stunned, trapping Baoh until his guard gauge ran out.
