All-Star Battle/Lisa Lisa

Lisa Lisa makes her first playable appearance in the PS3 game as a DLC character (along with Old Joseph, as part of Campaign #2, named "Ripple Masters"). As a Ripple-user character (along with Jonathan Joestar, Will Anthonio Zeppeli, Joseph [Both Parts 2 and 3], and Caesar), Lisa Lisa can recharge her Heart Heat Gauge through "Ripple Breath" by holding down the Style button, performing a pose, as well as deliver enhanced versions of skills if Style is inputted in place of normal attack buttons. Lisa Lisa has 900 HP.

Lisa Lisa also appears on the stage "The Battlefield" as a background character along with Kars. If Joseph is one of the combatants ingame, Lisa Lisa will cheer him on. This is assuming that Lisa Lisa herself is not part of the fight.

Lisa Lisa always starts the match wearing sunglasses; if she get hits by a HHA/GHA, she will drop them on the stage (making her the only character in the game who can lose an item of clothing during a match). Lisa Lisa's alternate costume features her Italian Oarsman's outfit worn during her debut; by wearing this costume, a mask will replace the sunglasses.

Moveset
During a fight, Lisa Lisa can use several different attacks that were featured in Battle Tendency.

Lisa Lisa encapsulates the rare and unconventional "Rekka" archetype of character, firmly within 'rushdown'. Most of her skills begin or are part of a "Ripple Chain" exclusive to her playstyle, allowing her to successively branch and chain as many moves together as she desires to rapidly confuse a defending opponent. However, there are recovery gaps in-between many of her looping attacks so as to prevent the chain from becoming an inescapable perpetual combo, or let her pressure her opponent's guard indefinitely.

Lisa Lisa's various Ripple Chain attacks offer immense burst damage, allowing her to deal devastating combos for less effort. Her skills are especially built for 'mix-ups', leaving the opponent unsure whether to defend high or low. More importantly, her esoteric playstyle allows her to rapidly overwhelm those unfamiliar with her arsenal. Even with gaps in her offense, she can utilize moves that properly defend against or avoid incoming attacks in anticipation, up to and including her powerful GHA, forcing her opponent to remain cautious.

Her biggest weakness is an intrinsic one: the barrier of entry necessary to wield her. Lisa Lisa's unusual style of control when attacking calls for a much greater degree of precision and focus to utilize. As a result, she's widely considered one of the most difficult characters in the game with an extraordinarily high level of execution. As a rushdown character, few of her moves extend past close-range, meaning she requires more effort to close the distance and is less versatile overall. In addition, she's somewhat dependent on Heart Heat to keep her vulnerability to a minimum; If skills within the Ripple Chain aren't Ripple-enhanced, her opponent can easily recover and be given the chance to defend or even retaliate during the Chain.

Lisa Lisa is a highly technical, unorthodox fighter who requires great skill to properly play. However, once mastered, she offers consistently high close-ranged damage output and the means to repeatedly outmaneuver and outsmart her foe, winning battles in explosive bursts.

Trivia

 * In the English localization, if Joseph defeats Lisa Lisa, his victory screen quote has him say, "Why did it have to come to this?! You are tearing me APART, Lisa Lisa!". This quote is a joke-translation and a reference to the 2003 American drama film The Room, in which Tommy Wiseau's character, Johnny, shouts "You are tearing me APART, Lisa!"
