Ghiaccio (ギアッチョ, Giatcho) was revealed as a new playable character for All-Star Battle R on August 24, 2022, during the game's Part 5 Reveal Trailer.[1] However, Ghiaccio was accidentally revealed earlier when a Japanese Youtuber uploaded two videos that showed photos of the back of the game box.[3]
“
"Dig up the roots and leaves"... I understand the "dig up the roots" part... But what the hell does the "dig up the leaves" part mean?! This phrase is super frustrating![2] (『根掘り 葉掘り』ってよォ～～『根を掘る』ってのは わかる………だが「葉掘り」って部分はどういう事だああ～～っ！？この言葉ァ超イラつくぜぇ～～ッ！！)
“Nebori hahori” tteyo~o ~~“ne o horu” tte no wa wakaru………daga `hahori' tte bubun wa dō iu kotoda ā ~~ ~tsu! ? Kono kotoba ~a chō iratsuku ze ~e ~~ ~tsu! !
Having neither previously appeared in All-Star Battle nor Eyes of Heaven as a playable character, he has an original moveset based on his appearance in Vento Aureo.
Ghiaccio also once again appears as an explanatory character, this time in the game's "JoJo Glossary".
In the English versions of All-Star Battle R, Ghiaccio's Stand, White Album, is localized as "White Ice", carried on from its first official usage in All-Star Battle.[4]
Ghiaccio has 950 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style. While he does summon and dismiss White Album like other Stand Style characters, he does not summon a separate entity. Instead, Ghiaccio wears his Stand. As such, White Album is not dismissed when Ghiaccio is knocked down while it is active, outside of special knockdowns such as Throws, HHA, or GHA. Also, when wearing White Album, Ghiaccio's movement speed is increased and he can run in both directions. When combined with his strong ability to force opponents to guess how to react on wake-up (vortex), Ghiaccio makes for an effective rushdown character.

Resolve Mode (覚悟モード, Kakugo Mōdo)
Automatically when health falls below 20%

Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
And now you're frozen solid!
+ //
ON GROUNDTRAP
Ghiaccio conjures a small ball of frost in front of himself with both hands, slowly inching forward and striking the opponent multiple times (Flash Cancel comboable). The attack button inputted determines how long the frost lasts, with higher strength buttons causing it to linger in the air for a few seconds. However, the longer the duration, the more vulnerable Ghiaccio is and the slower the projectile becomes. If spaced well, Ghiaccio can use the attack as a delayed projectile or trap. (Comboable)
Attack type: High Damage: 33
I'll shatter you!
+ //
ON GROUND
A command Throw. Ghiaccio reels back his hand before reaching forward with it covered in freezing ice. If he touches the opponent, they'll be briefly frozen, leaving them crumpling and vulnerable to attack. The attack button inputted determines the damage of the attack, inversely affecting Ghiaccio's recovery speed afterward if the skill fails. (Comboable)
Attack type: Throw Damage: 40 / 60 / 80
Are you friggin' mocking me?!
(During a successful guard) + (costs 1/2 HH)
ON GROUND
This skill can only be performed once Ghiaccio guards an incoming attack (known as a 'guard-cancel' skill). Expending 1/2 of a bar of Heart Heat, he instantly encases himself in a thick layer of ice, pushing the opponent back a moderate distance. This allows Ghiaccio to defensively repel the opponent away from himself, interrupting many forms of offense.

I can slide along!
/ (hold to extend duration)
ON GROUND
Ghiaccio can ice skate at high speeds by freezing the ground in front as he moves, allowing him to quickly advance in both forwards and backwards directions. This makes him one of the only six characters in the game capable of running in the opposite direction, the others being Joseph Joestar (both versions), Iggy, and Hol Horse, and Shigekiyo Yangu.
Will you lay off?!
+
ON GROUND
Ghiaccio performs a short leaping kick, bouncing the opponent off the ground. This is a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching, and a command normal that can chain into Ghiaccio's skills.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 20
You won't escape...
+
ON GROUND
Ghiaccio dives into a sliding kick, moving a considerable distance forward and launching the opponent into the air. This is a low attack that cannot be blocked crouching, and a command normal that can chain into Ghiaccio's skills.

Resolve Mode (覚悟モード, Kakugo Mōdo)

Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
You thought you could get away from me?
+ //
ON GROUND
Ghiaccio strikes the ground, causing a series of ice spikes to erupt in a forward wave. If the opponent is caught, they'll be knocked into the air. This attack deals significant chip damage (or damage dealt through a successful guard). The attack button inputted determines the damage, the range of the attack, and the number of spikes that erupt, inversely affecting the skill's start-up length and recovery speed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Attack type: High Damage: 30 / 40 / 50
Ultracold temperature freezes the moisture in the air.
+ //
IN AIR OKWHEN DOWNED
While in mid-air, Ghiaccio freezes the air below himself to generate a small ice projectile, then vaults off of it in a double-jump as it drops straight below. The falling projectile is a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching, and can also strike a downed opponent. The attack button inputted determines the direction of Ghiaccio's leap:
Light (): Ghiaccio leaps backwards during the attack, allowing him to attack and retreat from the opponent in a single maneuver.
Medium (): Ghiaccio leaps straight upwards during the attack.
Heavy (): Ghiaccio leaps forwards during the attack, allowing him to cross large forward distances in mid-air and possibly switch to the opponent's other side before landing.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 20
Any form of attack stops cold when it hits my ultracold temperatures!
+ //
ON GROUNDTRAP
Ghiaccio touches the ground with his freezing power, causing a layer of ice to generate and cover the ground in a forward wave. If the opponent touches the furthest ice sheet, they'll be momentarily frozen and left crumpling, vulnerable to attack. The attack button inputted determines the range of the skill, with the ice sheet remaining on the ground as a trap at its maximum distance. (Comboable)
Attack type: High Damage: 45
Throw (投げ技)
What the hell! What the hell! Are you serious?
2 ATK buttons at close range or ( to back-throw)
ON GROUND
Ghiaccio grabs the opponent and begins delivering repeated body blows with one fist, the final punch knocking them to the ground.
Attack type: Throw Damage: 120
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
White Album Gently Weeps!
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
Ghiaccio activates White Album Gently Weeps, causing floating crystals of frozen air to surround him. The stock of Heart Heat spent becomes a draining timer, canceling the ability upon depleting. While Gently Weeps is active, Ghiaccio will counter all non-GHA strike attacks upon guarding them, causing any melee strikes to freeze the opponent and leave them crumpling, open to attack. Guarding against non-HHA/GHA projectiles also reflects them, as they are bounced between the floating ice crystals before firing back at the opponent. However, Ghiaccio must remain in Stand ON for the duration of this HHA and cannot deactivate his ice armor; Upon deactivation, he will briefly release the ability and his ice armor in exhaustion, leaving him vulnerable and switching him to Stand OFF.
As HHA can be universally canceled into from most attacks including skills, this gives Ghiaccio a means to extend combos by chaining into its activation, instantly canceling an attack not unlike a Flash Cancel and allowing him to continue his offense from there.
You really piss me off you know that?! How dare you try to make me look like a fool! You moron!
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or
ON GROUND
Ghiaccio brags about White Album's ability to freeze anything in the world as he emits a dense mist of frost that scatters in front of himself, lasting for some time. If it connects, the opponent is frozen over, allowing him to begin his infamous, longwinded soliloquy about city names in different languages while speaking nonchalantly: He points out how non-English languages pronounce "Paris" without the "s" sound as it would be pronounced in French, but then notes that non-English languages use "Venice", the English term, instead of "Venezia". Ghiaccio's calm demeanor abruptly breaks and he starts relentlessly and viciously punching his frozen-solid opponent, feeling grievously insulted by the inconsistency and demanding people use the Italian term. At the height of his fury, he reels back his fist, calls the opponent a dumbass, and delivers one final punch to shatter their frozen body to pieces. Upon activation of this GHA, Ghiaccio will automatically switch to Stand OFF before attacking; If he attempts the attack while White Album Gently Weeps is active, the HHA will immediately cancel and the Heart Heat spent will be lost.
Attack type: High Damage: 360 / 432 / 540 (depending on HH gauge)
