All-Star Battle/Hol Horse

Hol Horse is a playable character in the PS3 game, confirmed along with Muhammad Avdol and DIO as one of the last Part 3 characters (excluding DLC characters Iggy and Vanilla Ice). He is voiced by Hochu Otsuka in this game, who previously voiced young Joseph Joestar in the Capcom game.

Hol Horse utilizes both Emperor and The Hanged Man of J. Geil for his moveset. Despite being one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, Hol Horse cannot switch between movesets nor does he have access to the Stand Rush ability, making his entire movelist always available to him. He shares this effect with Guido Mista and Diavolo. Instead, Hol Horse's Style button triggers the skill "Gun beats sword", wherein he trick-spins Emperor as it glows, enhancing the next skill marked with a star. Said abilities can be instantly performed following the skill. Hol Horse has 950 HP.

Command List
During a fight, Hol Horse uses moves that are loosely based on those featured in Stardust Crusaders.

Gameplay Overview
He is a "zoner" archetype of character, effectively battling at any range and capable of keeping his opponent from getting him within melee distance. Hol Horse exchanges an effective long-range zoning playstyle for high damage output and ways to better handle close-range confrontations. He possesses the smallest movelist of any character in the entire game. Despite this, each of his individual moves provide massively superior utility, which grants him a cohesive playstyle. He wields a wealth of bullet attacks that cover every angle, impressive combo ability with multi-hitting and combination attacks, a multi-purpose anti-air skill, and the unique ability to almost freely break himself out of combos under the right conditions. Completing this, his damage output is respectable and consistent for his ease of use.

However, his uncomplicatedness also makes his strategies somewhat basic, and patient opponents can undermine much of his effectiveness. In addition, Hol Horse's bullets tend to be very ineffective in 3D space due to linearity, as a simple sidestepping Dodge is enough for his foe to quash the threat of manually controlled bullets. His slower skills and bullets also make his long-ranged power pale in comparison to others of his archetype such as Kakyoin, although the priority his bullets possess helps alleviate this in matches against fellow zoners.

Hol Horse is a formidable yet simplistic fighter who utilizes both advanced control over his own Stand's bullets as well as Hanged Man's support to unleash a tricky, high-damage offense against aggressive foes, and works best at midrange distances. His straightforward yet rewarding approach to combat makes him favorable among novice and experienced players alike, and he is considered one of the best characters in the game.
