Funny Valentine (ファニー・ヴァレンタイン, Fanī Varentain) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[2]
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought.
In the English versions of All-Star Battle R, Valentine's Stand, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, is localized as "Filthy acts, at a reasonable price". However, this title only appears in the character's Great Heat Attack. All other appearances of the Stand's name simply use its abbreviated title, D4C.[1]
As Valentine's voice actor since All-Star Battle, Yasuyuki Kase reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Valentine were either added or re-recorded.
Funny Valentine has 900 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (いともたやすく行われるえげつない行為, Itomo Tayasuku Okonawareru Egetsunai Kōi).[a] During a fight, he can use several different attacks of his that were featured in Steel Ball Run.
Outside of the All-Star Battle Mode, Funny Valentine has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
Valentine starts with three Corpse Parts. The opponent's Heart Heat Gauge continuously refills. The player's attack power is decreased.
