All Star Battle (PS3)

File:Kars ASB.jpg

Kars makes his first appearance as a playable character in the PS3 title. He was confirmed alongside Rohan Kishibe. In the English release of the game, Kars's Light Blades are called "Shining Sabres" (keeping the alliteration of the Japanese name).

Most of his normal attacks consist of regular punches and kicks. Along with Wamuu and Esidisi, Kars uses the Mode style as part of his moveset, which allows him to temporarily boost his strength and performance among other things, at the cost of the Heart Heat Gauge. Kars has 900 HP.

Kars also appears on the stage "The Battlefield" as a background character along with Lisa Lisa. If Wamuu is one of the combatants in battle, Kars will brag about Wamuu's strength, assuming that Kars himself is not part of the fight.

Kars also possesses two alternate costumes, the first one being the attire he usually wears and is seen in for the first half of his presence in Battle Tendency (the veil that covers his long hair), and the second one being the overcoat and large hat he wore in Switzerland, in his fight against Stroheim.

Moveset

Style/Specials/Etc

Light Mode

ON GROUND

By spending his Heart Heat Gauge, Kars can activate Light Mode in order to not only increase the overall damage of his moves, but exclusive to him, make his Lightblade attacks unblockable. This mode lasts until the HHG empties, but can be extended through dealing or taking damage, as well as ended at any time in conservation.

Shining Sabres Mode

x2 + ON GROUND

Expending a stock of the HHG grants Kars access to Shining Sabres Mode, strengthening his abilities even further, increasing the range of Lightblade-based skills, and improving his ability to follow up on attacks. This mode is on a set timer, and will end when the stock is used up.

Sabres from my feet?!

+ ON GROUND

Kars kicks forward as a blade comes out of his foot. All of Kars's moves can be performed instantly following this skill. (Comboable)

Special Moves

Cruel and beautiful violence

+ // ON GROUND

Kars dives forward, arm blade extended, to slice through the opponent, and follows up by swinging upward to knock them into the air. (Comboable)

Behold, frozen brilliance!

+ // ON GROUND

Kars, in a single movement of his arm, unleashes multiple slashes at mid-range. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)

Shatter against the wall!

+ // ON GROUND IN AIR OK

Kars performs an airborne reverse kick that, if not blocked, sends the opponent flying into the stage wall. This move can be used in mid-air.

Victory is everything!

+ // ON GROUND

Kars utilizes light to disappear, with his subsequent reappearance depending on the type of button inputted.

• If Light, he reappears above the opponent with foot blade extended to down them, knocking them to the ground hard enough for them to bounce. This move is a middle attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is crouching. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
• If Medium, he reappears behind the opponent and strikes them upward. This move is a low attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is not crouching. (Comboable)
• If Heavy, he simply reappears at a distance, or the move becomes a feint if he is already far enough.

Throw

I'll slice you in two!

2 ATK buttons at close range or ON GROUND

Kars, using his arm blade, cuts the opponent down the middle before sending them away.

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack

Shining Sabres

+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND

Kars's HHA, simply titled "Shining Sabres", has him lick his Lightblade before unleashing a large array of slashes done in a single movement of his arm. If they successfully hit, Kars moves past the opponent in a samurai-esque fashion and brings his arm down. After a short delay, the opponent suffers a final, gashing blow. Kars may perform his HHA while Shining Sabres Mode is active, regardless of how much of the Heart Heat Gauge he has left. Doing so however, will drop his HHG to zero.

I am the ultimate life form!

+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND

Kars's GHA, "I am the ultimate life form!", has him use the Stone Mask (in combination with the Red Stone of Aja) to attempt to turn into the Ultimate Life Form. Kars, wearing the mask, will slowly rise to his feet. If the animation fully plays out uninterrupted by the opponent, the mask shatters, and Kars gains a completely new array of moves (it is also one of the longest and most difficult GHA to fully activate, taking about 5 seconds to complete).

Once his GHA is successful, Kars is dubbed as "Kars (Ultimate Life Form)" for the rest of the battle and gains a whole new moveset capable of dealing more overall damage than his previous state. Ultimate Life Form Kars is not entirely infallible. If he falls victim to Kosaku-Kira's Bites the Dust GHA, Kars will revert back to his original form. He is also permanently unable to use his HHA, or enter Light Mode and Shining Sabres Mode.

Style/Specials/Etc (Ultimate Life Form)

Predator Wings

then // ON GROUND

Kars takes flight, and can attack while in the air, slowing draining the HHG.

Aerial Dash/Back Dash

(while flying) x2/x2 IN AIR OK

Quickly moves forward or backwards. The forward dash can collide with the opponent and act as an anti-air to knock them down.

Aerial Combo Beat

(while flying) then then IN AIR OK

Kars can chain together his normal attacks while in flight.

Shining Sabres

+ ON GROUND

Kars charges forward and attacks with his Lightblade in one fell swoop. This move cannot be blocked, and Kars's skills can be performed instantly following it.

Special Moves (Ultimate Life Form)

The power of supreme genes!

+ // ON GROUND

Kars launches projectile attacks from his body that can be used while flying and differ based on button input.

• If Light, he fires off his hardened feathers in a straight line.
• If Medium, he launches a piranha that quickly arcs downward but deals the most damage. This version is a middle attack that can only be blocked while the opponent is standing.
• If Heavy, he sics a squirrel on his opponent, and while it does the least damage and is a high attack until it hits the ground, it is capable of tracking and chasing them, becoming a low attack.

Feast your eyes on my Ripple!

+ // ON GROUND

Kars attacks with Ripple-charged fists, the result depending on attack button inputted. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)

• • If Light, he unleashes two punches.
  • If Medium, he slides forward to unleash a downward elbow. This version is a middle attack that can only be blocked while the opponent is standing.
  • If Heavy, he dashes forward to unleash a powerful swing. This version is a low attack that can only be blocked while the opponent is crouching.

This cannot be!

+ // ON GROUND

Kars turns his arm into a large octopus tentacle and swings it in a wide girth while maniacally laughing, capable of hitting the opponent at most ranges and sending them flying. If used while the opponent is in mid-air, he will swing in upward as an anti-air.

Throw

You worthless fool!

2 ATK buttons at close range or ON GROUND

Kars grins as he grabs the opponent and smashes them between his elbow and knee, before shoving them away.

Stardust Shooters (Android/iOS)

Kars appears as one of the several Part 2 characters who possesses a Metal Striker. His Finish Move consists of him using his Light Blades and cutting the opponent's defeated Metal Striker.

Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)

File:Kars jojoeoh.jpg

Kars returns as a playable character in Eyes of Heaven, confirmed alongside Wamuu and Esidisi.

As a Pillar Man, Kars has the special ability Switch Mode, exclusive to the Mode style. His specific Mode is Light Mode. He is also able to stand and walk on the spike pit in the Air Supplena Island stage without taking damage (though he will still take extra damage if knocked down onto the spikes). Of special note is that he has the fastest base movement speed of any character.

Kars (Normal Mode)

• Style Action - Light Mode: Kars's body begins generating sparkles. All attacks involving his Light Blades become unblockable and receive a damage increase.
• Victory is everything!: Kars utilizes light to disappear and reappear behind an opponent. The skill by itself will not deliver an attack, but a Powerful Attack can be inputted to do so. If not in range of an opponent or locked on, Kars will simply teleport forward, though he cannot teleport across gaps or through walls. In Light Mode, the skill executes quicker and the additional attack becomes unblockable.
• Shining Sabres: Kars, in a single movement of his arm, unleashes multiple slashes, with the last strike sending opponents flying. In Light Mode, the skill deals more hits.
• EX - Victory is everything!: The skill gains all of its benefits from Light Mode regardless of whether or not it's currently active.
• EX - Shining Sabres: The skill executes quicker and Kars gains brief invincibility.
• Dual Heat Attack - You don't stand a chance!: After landing a kick to the opponent's abdomen, Kars unleashes a rapid, alternating barrage of slashes from the Light Blades on both his arms, finishing with a single downward slice that successively rends them multiple times and sends them flying with the final hit as Kars turns around.
• I am the ultimate life form!: Kars dons the Stone Mask (in combination with the Red Stone of Aja) to attempt to turn into the Ultimate Life Form. Kars, wearing the mask, will slowly rise to his feet. If the animation fully plays out uninterrupted by his opponents, the mask shatters, and Kars gains a completely new array of moves.

Ultimate Life Form

• Style Action - Flight Mode/Ground Mode: Kars can switch between being on the ground and sprouting wings to take to the sky. While in Flight Mode, his stamina gauge slowly drains, and upon emptying, Kars is forced to land. Ascending will cause the stamina gauge to drain faster.
• Dual Heat Attack - How fitting! I shall cast you into the dark abyss of death with your own precious Ripple!: Kars lunges at the opponent and deals two powerful slashes that leave them lying on the ground. Ecstatically reveling in the fact he can now use Ripple, Kars charges and unleashes an all-powerful Ripple blast straight into the downed opponent. This is a reference to the method he tried to finish Joseph off with during the final chapters of Part 2.

While in Ground Mode:

• Victory is everything!: The maximum range and damage of the attack is increased, but the EX version is no longer available.
• Shining Sabres: The skill gains a damage increase.
• I have absorbed the abilities of every living thing. I contain all of existence.: Kars turns his hand into a squirrel that he then sics on opponents, automatically attacking any threat to him within range. Opponents caught crumple and are open to further attacks.
• Arm yourself!: Kars creates a crustaceous shell layer over most of his body as he assumes a defensive posture to create a special guard. Opponents that attempts to attack him from the front with melee attacks are knocked off-balance, creating an attack opening. While active, Kars's stamina gauge slowly drains, and the skill will end if it empties or the activating button is released.
• EX - Shining Sabres: The skill gains an extra damage increase.

While in Flight Mode:

• You're like a butterfly in a spider's web!: Kars fires two hardened feathers downward. Once they hit the ground, the feathers transform into octopus legs that automatically attack any opponents in range. The attacks are unblockable and up to four octopus legs can be out at any given time.
• Do you believe for a moment that you can escape from me, the mighty Kars?: Kars fires three hardened feathers downward. If they hit the ground, they will start shaking, and transform into piranhas to attack any opponent that gets too close. If they hit an opponent, they will transform instantly. The piranhas themselves latch onto opponents and deal damage in intervals whilst slowing them down.
• EX - Do you believe for a moment that you can escape from me, the mighty Kars?: Kars fires five feathers.

JoJolities

• Victory is everything!!: Kars must connect the additional attack that follows "Victory is everything!" 3 times. A glitch exists where attacks dealt by the tentacles created by "Do you believe for a moment that you can escape from me, the mighty Kars?" also fulfill this JoJolity. (200 Points)
• What would life be without enemies?: Kars must Retire an opponent. (200 Points)
• Finally... finally... I've conquered the sun!: Kars must successfully perform "I am the ultimate life form!". (300 Points)
• Heh heh heh... I'm going to make you die slowly!: Kars must survive the first 20 counts of the battle timer without taking damage. (500 Points)
• Kars used the Red Stone to become the Ultimate Life Form?!: Kars must succeed with a Dual Combo Finish while in Flight Mode. (800 Points)

Unlike the previous game, his main color scheme is now based on his anime appearance.

Tournament

He is paired with Pet Shop in the Eyes of Heaven Tournament. In the preliminaries, they defeated Pannacotta Fugo and Noriaki Kakyoin in the first round, and Dio Brando and Joseph in the second. In the semifinals, they defeated Jotaro Kujo and Kakyoin in the first round, and Jotaro and DIO in the second. Ultimately, the team won the Tournament, defeating Jolyne Cujoh and Gyro Zeppeli in the final round.
