All-Star Battle R ★ Ikuro Hashizawa
Ikuro Hashizawa (橋沢 育朗, Hashizawa Ikurō) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's Part 4, 6, & 8 Reveal Trailer.[1]
As Koki Uchiyama voiced Ikuro in All-Star Battle, he reprises his role as Ikuro's voice actor in this game too. His moves are narrated by Toru Okawa. As with a majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Ikuro were either added or re-recorded.
As Ikuro is unable to speak in his Baoh form (only capable of repeated battle cries of "BARU!" as well as general grunts and roars), he is accompanied by the game's narrator calling out the names of his attacks along with descriptive phrases. However, Ikuro will call out the game's name on the title screen in his human voice, and briefly speaks lines, also in his human voice, during his special mirror match intro and during match victories.
Gameplay
Ikuro has 850 health and uses the Baoh Armed Phenomenon (バオー
True to his role, however, Ikuro is fragile and his defense is poor. Ignoring his low health, he also suffers from a longer "blockstun" than others, meaning when he is made to successfully guard incoming attacks, he recovers slower and is only able to act out of his guard later. This allows opponents to more safely pressure him when he's the defender, and also makes him very vulnerable to characters that can utilize throws and unblockable attacks. Another weakness is that Ikuro's fast skills act as a double-edged sword, and it is more difficult to properly execute strong combos with him despite the damage potential he possesses.
As a whole, Ikuro is a fickle and difficult combatant to wield. He rapidly overwhelms and defeats anyone who is unfamiliar with his powers, but may easily become the one being overwhelmed in turn. Nonetheless, with good execution and strong momentum in his favor, Ikuro can very quickly capture victory before his opponent has a chance to regain control over the battle and retaliate.
