Rudol von Stroheim (ルドル・フォン・シュトロハイム, Rudoru fon Shutorohaimu) was officially announced as the second playable DLC character for All-Star Battle R on January 19, 2023,[1] and will be released for all to play on February 3. Like the rest of the paid DLC, he is included inside the game's season pass, and therefore the Digital Deluxe Edition as well; and holders of either gained early access to the character on February 1, 2023.[2]
Unlike Eyes of Heaven, Stroheim's design is the same in both Western and Japanese versions of the game.
Having voiced Stroheim since the Battle Tendency anime adaptation, Atsushi Imaruoka reprises his role in this game as well. Like with the majority of the roster that have returning voice actors from Eyes of Heaven, voicelines for Stroheim were added and re-recorded.
Stroheim uses the unique Best Science in the World (世界一の科学力, Sekaīchi no Kagakuryoku) Battle Style, being the only playable character to do so. As he appears in his cyborg form for All-Star Battle R, Stroheim uses various moves of his from Battle Tendency.

ON GROUND
Stroheim switches between Heavy Machine Gun Mode & UV Laser Mode, altering his available abilities.
For the homeland! For eternal glory!
+ ON GROUND
Stroheim steps forward and swings his fist straight down, knocking the opponent down in a ground-bounce. (Comboable)
Attack type: Middle
Farewell, you annoying Englishman!
x2 + (costs 1 HH) ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
This ability can only be attempted while Stroheim has a minimum of two stocks of Heart Heat, and consumes one stock upon activation. Stroheim pulls the pin on a Stielhandgranate and hugs it while lying down. After a long delay, the grenade explodes, blasting Stroheim backwards and reducing his health to 1. However, if the opponent is caught they will also be blown away while taking a colossal amount of damage, capable of KO'ing almost any character from half health. The explosion may even connect with them while they are downed.
From the moment he initiates the attack, Stroheim becomes immune to Throws. Once he reaches his lying position, he naturally low-profiles most attacks in the game and additionally gains passive Super Armor. As a result, he can no longer be interrupted by attacks aside from command Throws, HHA, and GHA. After a successful detonation, Stroheim's Heart Heat Gauge will be permanently disabled for the rest of the match.
Attack type: Unblockable
UV Laser Gauge
A gauge above Stroheim's Heart Heat Gauge displays how much energy he has left for UV Laser Mode. It fills gradually while in Heavy Machine Gun Mode and is instantly replenished to full upon connecting with his HHA. While in UV Laser Mode, it gradually drains overtime and automatically switches Stroheim back to Heavy Machine Gun Mode when depleted.
Rumble Mode
Activates under 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Stroheim falls bellow 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

However, Stroheim may also be caught in the grenade's explosion if he is too close, causing him to flinch while taking a small amount of damage. (Comboable)
Attack type: High
Leave the rest to me, Rudol von Stroheim!
+ //ON GROUND
Stroheim slides a forward distance in a low stance and delivers a body blow. His travel distance increases in order of , inversely affecting recovery speed.

+ 2 ATK buttons ON GROUND
Smirking, Stroheim launches his prosthetic hand off in a rocket punch a moderate distance forward. If it connects, he seizes the opening to load ammunition into himself and deliver a heavier volley of 20 bullets from his Heavy Machine Gun, carrying the opponent into the air.
This HHA has the bonus effect of replenishing the UV Laser Gauge to full.
Attack type: High
I can't tell you how good it feels to finish you myself!
+ 3 ATK buttons, or ON GROUND
Jovial over the chance to kill the opponent with his powers, Stroheim wields UV Laser Mode and launches high-powered beams in front of himself.

To finish the assault, he pulls the pin on a Stielhandgranate and fires off his prosthetic hand holding it in a rocket punch, striking the opponent's body and propelling them backwards.

Special Interactions
Dialogue
Outside of the All-Star Battle Mode, Rudol von Stroheim has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
Due to the availability of certain voice actors, some of these interactions re-use existing dialogue for Stroheim's opponents. In this case, only Joseph Joestar and Risotto Nero have new dialogue - Joseph because the voice actor returned for his character's "Your next line is..." interaction; Risotto due to both characters being DLC released close to each other.
