All-Star Battle R ★ Gyro Zeppeli
Gyro Zeppeli (ジャイロ・ツェペリ, Jairo Tseperi) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was 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.
As Gyro's voice actor since All-Star Battle, Shin'ichirō Miki reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Gyro were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Gyro has 900 health and uses the Mounted (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes on his horse, Valkyrie. He also uses his Steel Balls combined with Spin, utlizing his Scan (スキャン, Sukan) Stand ability which he temporarily gains in Steel Ball Run. Additionally, in his Great Heat Attack, he is able to make Ball Breaker manifest. During a fight, he can use several different attacks of his that were featured in Steel Ball Run.

ON GROUND If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Gyro mounts Valkyrie much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Gyro's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

- Gyro gains Super Armor when throwing Steel Balls, meaning enemy attacks received while skills that throw Steel Balls are in effect no longer knock Gyro back.
- Keeps Gyro in Golden Spin Mode.
+ // then // ON GROUND - Light (): Gyro throws the Steel Ball in a diagonal line upwards.
- Medium(): Gyro throws the Steel Ball straight ahead.

+ (requires at least one corpse part) ON GROUND CHARGEABLE TRAP input is held. When is released, the Steel Ball will float in the air for a fixed period of time. While the ball floats there, touching it will cause damage. Inputting the same command a second time while the Steel Ball is in the air can be used to ricochet another Steel Ball off of the original. This will cause the initial Steel Ball that was floating in the air to return to Gyro immediately. The damage of this skill is dependent on the Spin Gauge. (Flash Cancel comboable)
If the second ball is thrown right as the first is returning, it will be thrown in the direction the first ball is currently, resulting in it being thrown at an upward angle. If it does not hit the opponent, it will keep going until it reaches the end of the stage, where it will drop to the ground and spin across it until it returns, which is the only time the ball can hit on its return, regardless of whether Gyro has been hit in the interim or not. If it hits the opponent on the way back, it will cause a hard knockdown.

ON GROUND Gyro, galloping forward on horseback, launches a singularly powerful Steel Ball imbued and cloaked with Complete Golden Spin Energy. If it lands, the Steel Ball will shred into the opponent's torso, before Ball Breaker appears in front of them. The Stand finishes the attack by spinning and funneling itself into the Steel Ball, dramatically increasing its power and rotation speed. The entrance of the Stand into the Steel Ball ripping at the opponent generates a massive green burst.
Gyro's GHA is altered when used against Valentine. Valentine attempts to protect himself with D4C Love Train, only for Ball Breaker to penetrate and fly through the dimensional wall, recreating the scene from the battle in the manga. Ball Breaker will zoom past Valentine and D4C's face, the two bracing themselves, before violently exploding in a blast of Complete Golden Spin Energy.

General Changes
- Skills that use Steel Balls decrease the Spin Gauge less than they did in All-Star Battle.
- The Spin Gauge naturally depletes significantly slower than it did in All-Star Battle.
- If Gyro is hit while a Steel Ball is out, the Steel Ball will now no longer hit the opponent when it returns. The only exception to this is the "Scan" skill and only in the circumstance that the returning Steel Ball is one that was spinning across the ground and never hit the opponent when initially thrown.
