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 will gain 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.
