Iggy (イギー, Igī) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was also 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo in August 5.[3]
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.
Replacing Shigeru Chiba, Misato Fukuen reprises her role as Iggy's voice actress from the Stardust Crusaders anime adaptation. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Iggy were either added or re-recorded.
Iggy has 800 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with The Fool. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Stardust Crusaders.
Unlike the rest of the roster, when his stand is not summoned, Iggy takes chip damage from normal attacks and cannot recover his guard gauge. When combined with his small health pool, it can make blocking extremely punishing. Also unique to Iggy is his ability to automatically escape universal throws at the cost of white health.
The player's health is decreased. The opponent's health continuously refills.

Stand: The Fool. A purebred Boston Terrier, he joins Joestar's team in Egypt after being flown in as aid by the Speedwagon Foundation. He loves to tear out hair and fart in people's faces.
Iggy's Stand. It takes the form of a sand monster. By its very nature, it cannot suffer physical damage. It has all kinds of useful functions, such as being able to turn into a glider or a dome, being highly versatile as a result.
