Hol Horse (ホル・ホース, Horu Hōsu) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]
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 Hōchū Ōtsuka, Hidenobu Kiuchi reprises his role as Hol Horse's voice actor from the Stardust Crusaders anime adaptation. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Hol Horse were either added or re-recorded.
Hol Horse has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Emperor. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Stardust Crusaders.
When Hol Horse hops forward to perform his kick, he now stays moved forward when he finishes his attack rather than returning to his original position.
Standing Heavy Attack
ON GROUND
This entire attack executes faster than it did in All-Star Battle. However, Hol Horse does not move as far forward, giving this attack less range now.
Crouching Medium Attack
+ ON GROUND
This attack executes much faster than it did in All-Star Battle.
Skills (コマンド技)
You lose, loser! [☆]
+ //ON GROUND IN AIR OK
The recovery of the variant is significantly shorter than it was in All-Star Battle. The startup of all grounded variants is also shorter, so the bullet is shot earlier now.
Even my bullets are part of my Stand! [☆]
+ ON GROUND CHARGEABLE
The number of times that Hol Horse can redirect Emperor's bullet has changed. For the normal bullet, he can only change its direction two times instead of four. For the enhanced version, he has a maximum of four times he can redirect the bullet instead of an infinite amount. Additionally, the normal bullet travels slower than it did in All-Star Battle.
Come get us!
+ // for ½ HH ON GROUND TRAP
This skill now costs half a stock of the Heart Heat Gauge instead of a little more than a seventh, meaning this skill has to be used much more sparingly. However, now, if the bottle hits a grounded opponent, it will launch them into the air, allowing Hol Horse to combo off of it. Furthermore, Hol Horse does not toss the bottle as far as he did in All-Star Battle when using the variant.
You're up, J. Geil!
(While puddle from "Come get us!" is deployed) + //ON GROUND IN AIR OK
Hanged Man's attack is now a Low rather than a High.
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
Eat this! [☆]
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
Hol Horse shoots faster now than he did in All-Star Battle, shortening the overall duration of the attack. However, this is not very noticeable unless the HHA is extended.
Hol Horse is gonna kill ya!
+ 3 ATK Buttons or ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
When Hol Horse breaks the bottles, they now shatter into shards so small that they can only be seen by the light reflecting off of them, causing them to sparkle. These shards are scattered in a large area in front of Hol Horse. This is opposed to them being mainly large chunks of glass that are concentrated in a relatively small area directly below where the bottles were broken. Along with this, the shockwave created when the bottles are shattered is larger now, almost completely covering the created cloud of broken shards. Because of this, the hitbox for this GHA is much larger, making it able to now hit opponents that are close to Hol Horse while simultaneously giving the GHA more range.
Hol Horse can't use J. Geil moves. The player's defense is decreased.
