All-Star Battle R/Dio Brando

"Weakling, weakling!! (貧弱貧弱ゥ！！)"

Dio Brando (ディオ・ブランドー) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.

Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from, 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 along.

As the voice of Dio since the Phantom Blood anime, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role for All-Star Battle R. Like with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Dio were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay
Dio Brando has 800 health and uses the Vampirism (スタンド) Battle Style. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Phantom Blood.

Dialogue
Outside of the All-Star Battle Mode, Dio Brando has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
