Risotto Nero (リゾット・ネエロ, Rizotto Nēro) was officially announced for All-Star Battle R on October 7, 2022 during the Stone Ocean anime stream[1] as the first playable DLC for the game, as well as the first character of the first Season Pass. A full gameplay trailer was later posted on October 23.[4] He was then released on October 27, 2022, although early access was available on the 25th for Season Pass and/or Digital Deluxe Edition holders.[2]
Risotto had 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Style. Unusually for a character with this Style, he does not summon or dismiss Metallica. Instead, he camouflages with his Stand's power, increasing his evasion and making it more difficult for his opponent to track his of actions.
His Iron Deficiency mechanic applies a debuff to opponents that prevents them from dashing, running, and gaining Heart Heat, allowing Risotto to zone them more easily with projectiles. His Assassin ability also further helps him keep a distance as it makes him impervious to Throws and most projectiles, and can make it difficult for opponents to read him. Both of these make him decent on defense, although direct attacks from up-close opponents naturally nullify this. Therefore, Risotto is best played offensively at a close- to mid-range until he is able to debuff the opponent with Iron Deficiency, at which point he is a lot safer to attack from afar.

Style/Specials/Etc. (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Assassin (暗殺者)
or /// + ON GROUND
* The attached media is outdated and displays an older version of the game.
Risotto turns invisible by covering himself in fine iron particles and camouflaging. The motion input performed determines the action he will execute while doing so:
None: Risotto will camouflage in place.
: Risotto dashes forward while camouflaging.
: Risotto dashes backwards while camouflaging.
: Risotto jumps forward while camouflaging.
: Risotto jumps backward while camouflaging.
Variations 2 ( + ) and 5 ( + ) can be chained into from any normal attack, but will cost 1/2th of a bar of Heart Heat to do so.
While camouflaged, Risotto is passively invulnerable to Throws and most projectiles. However, he is still vulnerable to any trap moves, and specific projectiles can still hit him. The exceptions are:
All of Narancia's projectiles, bullets and bombs alike.
Naturally, he makes it challenging for a human opponent to visually judge his next attack, improving his ability to bypass defenses with low-hitting or middle-hitting attacks when on offense.
The effect will deactivate upon Risotto performing any attack, taking or blocking damage, or at a second press of the Style button. Otherwise, it will last indefinitely.
I won't get closer to you. (オレはおまえに.........近づかない)
+ ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Risotto throws a knife projectile towards the ground in front of him, useful for hitting downed opponents. The initial slash that Risotto performs is also an attack, being a high attack whereas the knife is a low attack.
Whenever Risotto lands abilities marked with a star (☆), the opponent is inflicted with Iron Deficiency (鉄分不足) for a period of time, visualized by yellow blood seeping out of their bodies. While afflicted, the opponent is unable to dash forward or backward. In addition, they cannot generate Heart Heat under normal conditions (dealing, taking, or receiving damage; Ripple Breathing for Ripple Style characters), indicated by their Heart Heat Gauge rusting over.
This mode is automatically activated once Risotto falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.
Skills (コマンド技)
You can find iron anywhere in this world. (「鉄分」...それはこの地球上のどこにでもあるのだ...)
+ //ON GROUND
* The attached media is outdated and displays an older version of the game.
Risotto conjures a volley of 5 projectile scalpels from iron and launches them. The attack button inputted determines the angle the scalpels are launched at, inversely affecting Risotto's recovery speed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Light: Risotto launches the scalpels straight forward.
Medium: Risotto launches the scalpels at an upward angle, functioning as a mid-ranged anti-air.
Heavy: Risotto launches the scalpels sharply upward, functioning as a close-ranged anti-air.
Attack type: High Damage: 10 each (50 in total)
I know how I'll kill you. [☆] (『殺り方』は！できている...)
+ //ON GROUND
A counter. Risotto boldly gestures to his opponent. If struck by a non-projectile/HHA/GHA melee attack, he will cross his arms as razors begin bursting out of the opponent's face, knocking them back and inflicting Iron Deficiency. The attack button determines the attack's damage, inversely affecting Risotto's recovery speed. The attack button also determines the duration of the inflicted Iron Deficiency, being 8 / 9 / 10 seconds resepctively. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Damage: 80 / 100 / 120
Control iron within 5-10 meters (射程5～10メートル内の鉄分を操作する, Shatei 5～10 mētorunai no tetsubun o sōsa suru)
x2 + //ON GROUND CHARGEABLE
Risotto manifests Metallica on both of his hands while stretching his arms out, generating a massive field of the Stand's range of influence visually represented as gray ripples emanating outwards from his feet and covering most of arena space. The button must be held to maintain this skill's effect, and Risotto is forced to be stationary while performing it, though the input can be released at any time to minimize vulnerability.
While the opponent is inside Metallica's range, a timer gauge appears over their head counting down from 3. If Risotto does not release the skill prematurely, and the opponent does not escape the field or interrupt him with an attack before the timer reaches 0, razors will violently explode from their body and send them flying backwards to inflict high damage. This attack is completely unblockable, and will ignore invulnerability, Stylish Guard, and Stylish Evade. It will not however interrupt abilities with a Super Armor effect. To note, the countdown will continue while the opponent is downed, but the attack will not complete if the timer reaches 0 while they are downed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
If executed while "Assassin" is in effect, Risotto will remain camouflaged until the input is released, the attack succeeds, or he takes damage.
Damage: 150
The assassin that no one could find (誰もが見つけられなかった暗殺者)
+ //ON GROUND
* The attached media is outdated and displays an older version of the game.
Risotto rushes a distance forward while briefly camouflaging, before reappearing and unleashing a knife attack. The attack button inputted determines the strike performed.
Light: Risotto performs a low outwards slash, functioning as a low attack that knocks the opponent off their feet. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Medium: Risotto performs a leaping stab from the air, functioning as a middle attack that leaves the opponent crumpling. (Comboable)
Heavy: Risotto performs a lunging stab, sending the opponent flying far back. This variation leaves Risotto the least vulnerable if blocked.
If executed while "Assassin" is in effect, Risotto will remain camouflaged until the instant he delivers the attack.
Expending 1/2 of a bar of Heart Heat, Risotto attempts to manifest Metallica on his body in order to mend his injuries.
While the health regained is considerable, this ability takes time to perform, and can be interrupted if used inopportunely. Upon success, the health begins as regenerating silver damage that disappears if Risotto is struck, meaning he must avoid damage in order to recoup any significant lost health.
Throw (投げ技)
Controlling with magnetism (『磁力のような能力』で操作)
2 ATK buttons at close range or ( to back-throw) ON GROUND
Risotto shoves his opponent off-balance before conjuring several scalpels into the air and launching them into the opponent.
Attack type: Throw Damage: 130 Startup frames: 7
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
The scalpel is pointing in the direction of the magnetic force! (メスは磁力の方向を指し示したッ！)
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
Risotto conjures a volley of projectile scalpels before pointing to launch them forward. If they connect, he follows up by creating more scalpels in a circle around the opponent. The scalpels then fire off and attack the opponent from all sides, launching them away.
Attack type: High Damage: 30 + 8 × 14 + 48 (190)
“
Magnetism pulls at iron. There's nowhere to run. (『磁力』は鉄をひっぱる 逃げ場は無い)
”
This is the end! Take this! Metallica! [☆] (とどめだ くらえ 『メタリカ』ッ！)
+ 3 ATK Buttons or ON GROUND
Commanding his opponent's attention, Risotto flings several scalpels straight forward, traveling the length of the stage if allowed to do so. If they connect, the opponent is knocked off balance by the attack as Risotto camouflages and disappears. A massive number of scalpels are then conjured from the ground and fire forward at high speeds, barraging the opponent and carrying them into the air. Reappearing, Risotto finishes his attack by focusing Metallica's power from within the opponent, making razor blades explode out of their body and inflicting them with Iron Deficiency afterward.
This GHA is based off of Risotto's attack prior to being shot by Aerosmith, with its main visual effect being taken from the Golden Wind anime.
Attack type: High Damage: 340 / 408 / 510 (depending on HH gauge)
“
Look over here. Now die! You're done for. Take this! Metallic! (こっちを見ろ… 死んでもらうッ！ とどめだ くらえ 『メタリカ』ッ！)

Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト)

In commemoration of the release of Risotto as the 1st paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Vento Aureo badges,[7] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[8] The badges in question contained the ASBR render images of Ghiaccio, Prosciutto & Pesci, and Risotto respectively.
The campaign started on October 28, 2022, and lasted until November 13 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:
However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.[8]
The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third-party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were announced sometime in December 2022.[8]
