Vanilla Ice (ヴァニラ・アイス, Vanira Aisu) 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.
The English localization of the game has Vanilla Ice's name as "Cool Ice", carried on from its All-Star Battle debut.
Replacing Hiroyuki Yoshino, Sho Hayami reprises his role as Vanilla Ice's voice actor from the Stardust Crusaders anime adaptation. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Vanilla Ice were either added or re-recorded.
Vanilla Ice has 950 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) and Vampirism (吸血 Kyūketsu) Battle Styles, fighting foes with Cream. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Stardust Crusaders.
Cream moves forward a greater distance than it did in All-Star Battle when it attacks.
Crouching Medium Attack
+ ON GROUND
Vanilla Ice now shifts forward when uppercutting, giving this normal more range.
Jumping Heavy Attack
IN AIR OK
This attack hits only once now instead of twice.
Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
How dare you!
+ // ON GROUND
The height the opponent gets knocked into the air increases as the strength of the attack button inputted increases now instead of staying the same across all variants. Instead of the distance Vanilla Ice moves forward increasing in order, it decreases, meaning that the variant moves the farthest now instead of the variant as well. Additionally, this skill has lost its ability to be Flash Canceled, but has gained invincibility on the and variants.
This vicious arm!
+ // ON GROUND
The number of chops Cream delivers now increases in order instead of always being three. This means that only the variant causes a crumple now as it is the third chop that does so. However, the variant now causes a groundbounce. To go along with these changes, the skill no longer has an increasing delay before Cream attacks based on the variant used. As such, this skill no longer has a guard point effect on the and variants. Furthermore, Cream now moves forward farther when attacking, but due to the changed number of chops per variant, this is less obvious with the variant.
Lord DIO
+ // ON GROUND
This skill is no longer a follow-up skill to "How dare you!" and "This vicious arm!, now being its own skill, specifically a command throw. Because of this, its input has changed. Previously it was during one of the aforementioned skills in place of + //. This change also means that there are multiple variants of the skill now.
Now I've taken your legs!
+ // ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
This skill has less options than it did in All-Star Battle. There is no follow-up input required to change how Cream appears out of the ground. Instead, how Cream attacks after disappearing into the ground is now set based on which variant is used. Additionally, this skill now utilizes the Stand Power Gauge meaning that if the gauge is too low, this skill cannot be used. The trade-off is that this skill now deals significantly more damage (more than 1.5 times as much). Furthermore, this skill will no longer trigger counters. The translation of the name of this skill has also changed. Previously it was "Start with the legs!" instead of "Now I've taken your legs!".
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
The great void rises!
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
When Cream lunges forward, it moves a greater distance than it did in All-Star Battle. Instead of being considered a Throw, this HHA is now an Unblockable. This serves as a technical difference more than anything as it does not change the HHA's functionality. Also, this HHA is now a part of Vanilla Ice's Easy Beat Combo, though its inclusion is due to changes to "How dare you!" rather than the HHA itself.
Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
Once and for all!
// or / + // ON GROUND IN AIR OK WHEN DOWNED
Cream's attacks now use one-fourth of the Stand Power Gauge rather than one-fifth. These attacks will also no longer trigger counters.
