Diavolo (ディアボロ, Diaboro) 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 on 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.
In the English version of All-Star Battle R, Diavolo's Stand, King Crimson, is localized as "Emperor Crimson", carried on from its first official usage in All-Star Battle.
Replacing Toshiyuki Morikawa, Katsuyuki Konishi reprises his role as Diavolo's voice actor from the Golden Wind anime adaptation. Aditionally, Soma Saito replaces Akira Ishida as his alter ego, Vinegar Doppio. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Diavolo were either added or re-recorded.
Diavolo has 900 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with King Crimson. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Vento Aureo.
1. Use the "Star Platinum, The World!" style: 1000 G 2. Land a 20-hit combo: Star Platinum Publicity Artwork 3. Land a Great Heat Attack: Jotaro 4 Color Tint C
