Zeppeli is of the Ripple User (波紋使い, Hamon-tsukai) style, which allows him to charge the Ripple Gauge that determines the strength of his attacks as well as do more and unhealable damage to Vampire and Pillar Man characters.
Most of his moveset and character model remain the same from All-Star Battle.
Style/Specials/etc
What a jump! From a seated position, using only his knees!
Zeppeli leaps high into the air with his knees alone. This skill can be used to simply evade attacks, and can also be canceled using any mid-air attack.
Ripple Breathing
ON GROUND CHARGEABLE
Zeppeli performs a pose and Ripple Breathes, filling up the Ripple Gauge. He cannot move and is vulnerable to attacks while doing so. Similar to All-Star Battle, Zeppeli fills his gauge the fastest out of all Ripple Users.
One question at a time, okay?
Zeppeli swiftly charges forward, passing through partner and enemy alike. He is able to cancel this skill with any kind of attack or skill, allowing him to close the distance and/or Backstab opponents in one swift move. If Ripple-enhanced, the speed and distance of the charge is increased.
Skills
Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!
Zeppeli dives forward with a Ripple-charged hand extended. If the opponent is hit, the Ripple will shock them in the abdomen. Zeppeli then pulls his hand back before hitting them off with a more concentrated attack, sending the opponent flying.
Ripple-enhanced: The skill will receive a damage boost and increase the speed and distance of the dive.
Tornado Overdrive!
IN AIR OK
Zeppeli performs a special flipping leap. Further input will make him come down at a diagonal angle spinning, using his legs as a drill. If the skill hits an already downed opponent, they will be blown back.
Ripple-enhanced: Zeppeli will be invincible during the initial jump, the attack's speed will increase, and more hits will be dealt.
Ripple Cutter
IN AIR OK
Zeppeli spits wine out of his mouth as a disc-shaped projectile with some homing capability.
Ripple-enhanced: He spits out three with augmented homing capabilities, the third of which will send opponents flying.
EX - Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!
EX SKILL
Zeppeli is invincible when executing the skill and the skill will crumple the opponent instead, allowing him to combo from it. This is in addition to the damage benefits granted by the Ripple Gauge. Zeppeli is able to cancel this skill immediately after the kick with a jump.
EX - Tornado Overdrive!
EX SKILL IN AIR OK
Zeppeli is invincible until he lands and will finish with a sweeping kick that launches standing opponents into the air.
Dual Heat Attacks
Solo - "Ripple of the Sun! Sunlight Yellow Overdrive"
+ ON GROUND
Zeppeli will leap into the air and come down on a grounded opponent and send the Sunlight Yellow Overdrive through his finger into their abdomen.
The two of them attack the opponent's head, sequentially with a Ripple-charged Zoom Punch from Jonathan and a Sendo Wave Kick from Zeppeli, before they charge up and run up to the opponent and unleash a double Sendo Ripple Overdrive-enhanced Zoom Punch into them, the two reciting the phrase commonly associated with Overdrives.
