Wamuu (ワムウ, Wamū) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was also 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo in August 5.[3]
Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, a few tweaks have been made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
As Wamuu's one and only voice actor, debuting in the Battle Tendency anime and the original All-Star Battle, Akio Otsuka reprises his role in this game as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Wamuu were either added or re-recorded.
Wamuu has 950 health and uses the Mode (モード, Mōdo) Style, which allows him to toggle use of his unique Mode at any time during battle, at the cost of draining his Heart Heat Gauge. Furthermore, as a Pillar Man, part of the damage Wamuu receives from non-Ripple attacks is automatically converted into recoverable gray health.
Wamuu pokes out with his fingers. This attack does more damage if he is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Attack type: High Damage: 15 (normal) / 16 (Wind Mode) / 17 (Vapor Barrier/"I shall see with the wind.")
Standing Medium Attack
ON GROUND
Wamuu steps forward and kicks straight out with a leg surrounded by wind currents. This attack does more damage if he is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Attack type: High Damage: 22 (normal) / 23 (Wind Mode) / 24 (Vapor Barrier/"I shall see with the wind.")
Standing Heavy Attack
ON GROUND
Wamuu steps forward and performs an uppercut with two fingers extended. This attack does more damage if he is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Attack type: High Damage: 38 (normal) / 39 (Wind Mode) / 40 (Vapor Barrier/"I shall see with the wind.")
Crouching Light Attack
+
ON GROUND
Wamuu performs a crouching kick. This attack does more damage if he is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Attack type: Low Damage: 14 (normal) / 15 (Wind Mode) / 16 (Vapor Barrier/"I shall see with the wind.")
Crouching Medium Attack
+
ON GROUND
Wamuu leans forward and makes a horn out of wind, swinging it upwards in a two-hitting attack. This attack does more damage if he is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Attack type: Low Damage: 10 × 2 (20) (normal) / 11 × 2 (22) (Wind Mode) / 12 × 2 (24) (Vapor Barrier/"I shall see with the wind.")
Crouching Heavy Attack
+
ON GROUND
Wamuu stretches out and attacks with an arm surrounded by wind currents in a two-hitting attack. If the opponent is hit, they are knocked to the ground in a hard knockdown by the second hit. This attack does more damage if he is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Attack type: Low Damage: 18 × 2 (36) (normal) / 19 × 2 (38) (Wind Mode) / 20 × 2 (40) (Vapor Barrier/"I shall see with the wind.")
Jumping Light Attack
IN AIR OK
Wamuu attacks forward with both of his knees while airborne. This attack does more damage if he is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 18 (normal) / 20 (Wind Mode) / 22 (Vapor Barrier) / 26 ("I shall see with the wind.")
Jumping Medium Attack
IN AIR OK
Wamuu makes a horn out of wind and attacks downward with it in a multi-hitting attack while airborne. Because the horn deals more hits the longer it is in contact with the opponent, it will do more damage to other airborne opponents than it will grounded ones. This attack does more damage if Wamuu is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Wamuu flips in mid-air, kicking downward as he does so. This attack does more damage if he is in "Wind Mode" or if "Vapor Barrier" or "I shall see with the wind." is active.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 40 (normal) / 41 (Wind Mode) / 42 (Vapor Barrier) / 48 ("I shall see with the wind.")
Style/Specials/Etc.] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Wind Mode (風の流法)
ON GROUND
Wamuu can activate or deactivate Wind Mode, causing the damage for all his moves to increase as well as granting some skills projectile invincibility via turning Wamuu invisible during them. Wamuu's jump arc is also shortened, but the speed of his jump is increased. While active, attacking, guarding, and taking damage will not build Heart Heat. The mode can be canceled at any time by inputting . If Wamuu is knocked down, this mode will be forcibly deactivated. It will also automatically be deactivated if Wamuu uses his HHA.
Vapor Barrier (風のプロテクター)
+ for 1 HH
ON GROUND
Expending one stock of the Heart Heat Gauge grants Wamuu access to Vapor Barrier, increasing Wammu's damage and turning him invisible, which makes him immune to most non-HHA/GHA projectiles. The only exception is Caesar Zeppeli's "Bubble Cutter" and "Gliding Bubble Cutter" skills. While active, attacking, guarding, and taking damage will not build Heart Heat, but Wamuu can execute his HHA for no cost. However, doing so will immediately end the Mode. This mode will also be forcibly canceled if Wamuu is knocked down. Until this mode is canceled, Wamuu cannot activate "Wind Mode" or "I shall see with the wind.".
I shall see with the wind. (「風」だけを感じてものを見よう)
+ 2 ATK Buttons for 2 HH
ON GROUND
Expending two stocks of the Heart Heat Gauge, Wamuu blinds himself and reveals his horn for the rest of the match. By doing so, his gains chip damage on his normals and access to "Whooosh!". His skills will also deal more damage and gain or lose various effects. This mode cannot be canceled, meaning it will carry over between rounds and will lock Wamuu out of activating "Wind Mode" and "Vapor Barrier".
With the strength of a pillar! (この「柱」を！)
+
ON GROUND
Wamuu steps forward and delivers a heavy lariat that crumples the opponent if it connects. If "Wind Mode" or "Vapor Barrier" is active, the damage dealt to the Guard Gauge is increased. This is true for when "I shall see with the wind." is active as well. This mode will also cause the attack to deal more damage overall and will grant it Super Armor for the startup. (Comboable)
Attack type: High Damage: 34 (normal) / 46 ("I shall see with the wind.")
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)
Activates below 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Wamuu 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)
Raging Tornado Aftermath! (真空竜巻の余波だッ！)
+
ON GROUND
Wamuu leans forward and spins the wires on his headgear into a vortex to pull opponents in and hit them. Rapidly tapping will increase the duration of the attack. The last hit will launch the opponent. This move has the added effect of nullifying incoming non-GHA projectiles, but it cannot cancel normals or specials like other skills can. If "Wind Mode", "Vapor Barrier", or "I shall see with the wind." is active, this skill will deal more damage (chip, guard, and overall), duration of the move, and increase the pulling force. While the skill can pull an opponent from any distance, if they are far enough away, they will recovery from the initial pull before they reach Wamuu, allowing for them to possibly punish him as the move cannot be Flash Canceled.
Attack type: High Damage: 14 ~ 50 (normal) / 20 ~ 74 (Wind Mode) / 26 ~ 98 (Vapor Barrier) / 34 ~ 124 ("I shall see with the wind.") (depending on number of hits)
Never stand in my shadow! (影に入ったお前が悪い)
+ //
ON GROUND
Wamuu performs an near-instantaneous upward reverse kick augmented by the wind that knocks the opponent into the air. The number of hits and damage increase in order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. While the variant can not be Flash Canceled, it has invincibility on startup. This move functions as an anti-air and reversal. (Flash Cancel comboable) While "Wind Mode" is active, Wamuu will become invisible until the recovery. If "I shall see with the wind." is active, this skill will gain additional hits. All three of Wamuu's modes will increase the damage of this skill.
Attack type: High Damage: : 50 (normal) / 55 (Wind Mode) / 60 (Vapor Barrier) / 5 + 60 (65) ("I shall see with the wind.") : 5 + 50 (55) (normal) / 5 + 55 (60) (Wind Mode) / 5 + 60 (65) (Vapor Barrier) / 5 × 2 + 60 (70) ("I shall see with the wind.") : 5 × 2 + 50 (60) (normal) / 5 × 2 + 55 (65) (Wind Mode) / 5 × 2 + 60 (70) (Vapor Barrier) / 5 × 3 + 60 (75) ("I shall see with the wind.")
I, Wamuu, will now consider you to be worthy prey! (このワムウに殺される資格はあるッ！)
+ //
ON GROUNDIN AIR OK
Wamuu somersaults in-place and unleashes a downward swipe that knocks the opponent down. If hit, the opponent will be bounced off the ground. The distance forward Wamuu moves and the damage dealt increases in order, but the greater the increase, the longer recovery. If used in the air, Wamuu's all of his momentum will be stopped, though he will fall an increasing amount based on what button is inputted. (Comboable) If "Wind Mode" is active, Wamuu will turn invisible during the startup. If "I shall see with the wind." is active, this skill will gain additional hits. All three of Wamuu's modes will increase the damage of this skill and how far Wamuu travels forward.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 55 (normal) / 60 (Wind Mode) / 65 (Vapor Barrier) / 5 + 55 (60) ("I shall see with the wind.") 60 (normal) / 65 (Wind Mode) / 70 (Vapor Barrier) / 10 + 60 (70) ("I shall see with the wind.") 65 (normal) / 70 (Wind Mode) / 75 (Vapor Barrier) / 15 + 65 (80) ("I shall see with the wind.")
He bent backwards! (逆におもいっきりのけぞったッ！)
+ // + //
ON GROUND
Wamuu performs a slow forward flip, and while this does do nothing by itself except act as a feint or cancel, a second press of the attack button during this initial animation makes him launch into a flying kick forward. If it connects, a second kick sends his opponent flying across the stage. The distance Wamuu flips and the damage dealt increase in order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. If only the flip is performed, Wamuu will be invincible during the recovery. This recovery can also be cancelled by normals or "Go for the throat and lungs!". If "Wind Mode" is active, Wamuu will turn invisible during the later half the flip. If "I shall see with the wind." is active, the damage done to the Guard Gauge will increase. All three of Wamuu's modes will increase distance opponents are knocked back, the wallbounce effect, and damage. The skill will also be knocked down into a hard knockdown.
Attack type: High Damage: 75 (normal) / 100 (Wind Mode) / 108 (Vapor Barrier) / 116 ("I shall see with the wind.") 85 (normal) / 103 (Wind Mode) / 111 (Vapor Barrier) / 119 ("I shall see with the wind.") 95 (normal) / 106 (Wind Mode) / 114 (Vapor Barrier) / 122 ("I shall see with the wind.")
Victim of your own delusion (発想のスケールでまけた)
(When opponent is downed) +
ON GROUNDWHEN DOWNED
This move can only be performed if the opponent is down; Wamuu brings out a broken column and swings it downward, smashing them with it. Should the opponent recover in time, this move will cause a groundbounce when if it hits. If "Wind Mode", "Vapor Barrier", or "I shall see with the wind." is active, this skill will do more damage.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 35 (normal) / 38 (Wind Mode) / 41 (Vapor Barrier) / 44 ("I shall see with the wind.")
Whooosh! (ドルルルルッ)
(When "I shall see with the wind." is active) + //
ON GROUND
This skill is only available while "I shall see the wind!" is active. Wamuu slides forward horn-first to attack the opponent, covering a moderate range in front of him. If the opponent is hit, they will crumple to the ground. The distance Wamuu slides forward and the damage dealt to the guard gauge and the opponent increases in order, but the greater the increase the longer the recovery. If the skill is blocked, this skill deals heavy damage to the guard gauge, approximately 40-65% depending on the button inputted. (Comboable)
Wamuu jams his fingers into the opponent's neck before slamming them into the ground. If he back-throws the opponent, he will lift them over his head to toss them to the ground on the other side of him.
Attack type: Throw Damage: 120
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
Ultimate Technique! Divine Sandstorm! (闘技！ 神砂嵐！！)
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
Wamuu uses his signature Divine Sandstorm. Rapidly spinning his arms, he generates a huge, devastating sandstorm vortex on screen, covering a massive range in front of him. This HHA does not require an initial hit to connect in order to work, and will not stop until it finishes or Wamuu is interrupted. If "Wind Mode" or "Vapor Barrier" were active when the HHA was activated, they will automatically be canceled.
Attack type: High Damage: 199
“
Ultimate Technique! Divine Sandstorm! (闘技！ 神砂嵐！！)
”
Ultimate Mastery: Atmospheric Rift (最終流法 『渾楔颯』)
+ 3 ATK Buttons or
ON GROUND
Wamuu turns his horn into a giant wind-based drill and swings the razor-sharp stream of air to knock the opponent into the air above him. He then rapidly juggles them above his head with the drill as it shapes itself into a Mobius strip. If the initial assault is successful, he then finishes by focusing the drill into his opponent for a powerful attack that sends them flying. This GHA does not require an initial hit to connect in order to work and will not stop until the first part finishes.
Attack type: High Damage: 318 / 381 / 477 (depending on HH gauge)

Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト)
ON GROUND
A three-stock assist. Wamuu lands in and flips forward into a flying kick, covering a large distance. If it connects, a second kick sends the opponent flying across the stage.
Attack type: High Damage: 95
Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト)
ON GROUND
A one-stock assist. Wamuu flips into the opponent, kicking them away. He then poses before jumping back off-screen.
Wammu now moves forward when executing this attack.
Crouching Medium Attack
+
ON GROUND
The second hit is no longer a High, instead staying a Low. The move also executes much faster than it did in All-Star Battle.
Style/Specials/Etc.] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Wind Mode
ON GROUND
The Heart Heat Gauge no longer depletes while this Mode is active. As such, it can only be ended if Wamuu is knocked down or inputs again.
Vapor Barrier
+ for 1 HH
ON GROUND
This install no longer uses the HH gauge as a timer, and as such, the mode will not time out. The only way it can be canceled is if Wamuu is knocked down or if he activates his HHA. Because of this, Wamuu no longer has Super Armor while this install is active. When Wamuu uses his HHA during this mode, it will cost him no Heart Heat instead of emptying the rest of his HH gauge, regardless of the number of stocks he currently has. Wamuu's jump arc is now altered while the install is active as well, and he will not jump as far forward as he did in All-Star Battle. Additionally, the translation for this install has been changed. Previously it was "Wind Protector" instead of "Vapor Barrier".
I shall see with the wind.
+ 2 ATK Buttons for 2 HH
ON GROUND
The Heart Heat cost has increased from half a stock to two whole stocks. He also no longer loses access to his ability to chain his normals together.
With the strength of a pillar!
+
ON GROUND
Instead of causing a groundbounce, this command normal now crumples the opponent. It has also lost its ability to be Flash Canceled. However, when "I shall see with the wind." is active, it now has Super Armor during its startup.

This skill no longer pushes the opponent away, instead sucking them in, even from fullscreen. The final hit will also launch opponents now, but it can no longer be Flash Canceled.

ON GROUND
The distance the opponent is launched no longer decreases in order. It instead increases. The number of hits also now increases in this order. However, the skill will no longer have an increased number of hits while "Wind Mode" or "Vapor Barrier" is active, though it now will while "I shall see with the wind." is. It does this instead of launching the opponent higher into the air. Additionally, the variant has lost its ability to be Flash Canceled, but has gained invincibility on startup instead.
I, Wamuu, will now consider you to be worthy prey!
+ //
ON GROUNDIN AIR OK
The variant has Wamuu moving forward more than he did in All-Star Battle. This skill will now always cause a groundbounce on hit instead of the hit effect changing based on what mode Wamuu is in. While "Wind Mode" or "Vapor Barrier" is active, the skill will no longer have an increased number of hits, though it now will while "I shall see with the wind." is. Additionally, the translation for this skill has changed. Previously it was "Smitten by the great Wamuu!" in place of of "I, Wamuu, will now consider you to be worthy prey!".
He bent backwards!
+ // + //
ON GROUND
This flip portion of this skill executes faster than it did in All-Star Battle. Wamuu also covers more distance while flipping now. While "Wind Mode" is active, Wamuu is no longer invisible for the startup. He is only invisible during the later half of the flip animation now. Additionally, the translation for this skill has changed. Previously it was "The power of flexibility" in place of "He bent backwards!".

ON GROUND
The startup on this skill, especially on the and variants, is longer now. As a trade off, Wamuu moves farther when he slides forward and deals more hits, with all variants having an increased and standardized number. Instead of launching the opponent away, this skill crumples the opponent as well. The skill also deals significantly higher damage to the Guard Gauge than it did in All-Star Battle.
Wamuu's first ten Taunt and Victory Lines are included in his Taunt and Victory Poses respectively, with two lines per pose; the first two poses of each type are unlocked by default, while the other three of each must be purchased for 450 G each.

Besides Heart Heat Attacks and Great Heat Attacks, the only projectiles in the game that can hit Wamuu while his "Vapor Barrier" is active are Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli's "Bubble Cutter" and "Gliding Bubble Cutter" skills.
When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Wamuu's pained expression resembles his at the moment when Joseph Joestar lands a second successful attack on him.[4]
When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Wamuu's neck and arms go limp, referencing his pose after Joseph destroys his wrists.[5]
When summoned as an Assist by Esidisi or Kars ("Lord Kars!"), Wamuu calls out his ally's name.
