All-Star Battle R ★ Dio Brando
Dio Brando (ディオ・ブランドー, Dio Burandō) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]
Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, a few tweaks have been made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought along.
As the voice of Dio since the Phantom Blood anime, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role for All-Star Battle R. Like with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Dio were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Dio Brando has 800 health and uses the Vampirism (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Phantom Blood.
