All-Star Battle R/Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli

"That last thing you'll see is the Zeppeli spirit that holds the future! The spirit of humanity!"

Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli (シーザー・アントニオ・ツェペリ) was confirmed for during the game's initial announcement trailer.

His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from, 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.

As Caesar's voice actor in both the Battle Tendency anime adaptation and the original, Takuya Sato reprises his role in this game as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Caesar were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay
Caesar has 950 health and uses the Ripple (波紋) Battle Style, which allows him to use the "Ripple Breathing" special to charge his Heart Heat Gauge. He can also draw from his Heart Heat Gauge in order to perform Ripple-enhanced versions of his various skills, increasing their power and utility.

Dialogue
Caesar'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. The remaining lines of both types can be purchased as a single set for 300 G. Caesar's Tag Lines can be purchased as a set for  140 G, excluding "Mamma mia! Okay, okay, I'm-a going!", which is unlocked by default.
