Risotto Nero (リゾット・ネエロ, Rizotto Nēro) was officially announced for All-Star Battle R on October 7, 2022 during the Stone Ocean anime stream[1] as the first playable DLC for the game, as well as the first character of the first Season Pass. A full gameplay trailer was later posted on October 23.[4] He was then released on October 27, 2022, although early access was available on the 25th for Season Pass and/or Digital Deluxe Edition holders,[2] and could be fought - even without buying the DLC - via the "Endless Mode" in "Arcade Mode".
In the English versions of All-Star Battle R, Risotto's Stand, Metallica, is localized as "Metallic", carried on from its first official usage in Eyes of Heaven.
Risotto had 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, although unlike what is typical of characters with this Style, he does not summon or dismiss Metallica. Instead, he camouflages with his Stand's power, increasing his evasion and making it more difficult for his opponent to track his of actions.
His Iron Deficiency mechanic applies a debuff to opponents that prevents them from dashing, running, and gaining Heart Heat, allowing Risotto to zone them more easily with projectiles. His Assassin ability also further helps him keep a distance as it makes him impervious to Throws and most projectiles, and can make it difficult for opponents to read him. Both of these make him decent on defense, although direct attacks from up-close opponents naturally nullify this. Therefore, Risotto is best played offensively at a close- to mid-range until he is able to debuff the opponent with Iron Deficiency, at which point he is a lot safer to attack from afar.

Style/Specials/Etc. (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Assassin (暗殺者, Ansatsusha)
or /// + ON GROUND
Risotto turns invisible by covering himself in fine iron particles and camouflaging. The motion input performed determines the action he will execute while doing so:
None: Risotto will camouflage in place.
: Risotto dashes forward while camouflaging.
: Risotto dashes backwards while camouflaging.
: Risotto jumps forward while camouflaging.
: Risotto jumps backward while camouflaging.
Variations 2 ( + ) and 5 ( + ) can be chained into from any normal attack, but will cost 1/2th of a bar of Heart Heat to do so.
While camouflaged, Risotto is passively invulnerable to Throws and most projectiles. However, he is still vulnerable to any trap moves, and specific projectiles can still hit him. The exceptions are:
Projectiles unleashed through HHA and GHA.
All of Narancia's projectiles, bullets and bombs alike.
Mariah's "Sorry, but you'll have to die now." knives.
Naturally, he makes it challenging for a human opponent to visually judge his next attack, improving his ability to bypass defenses with low-hitting or middle-hitting attacks when on offense.
The effect will deactivate upon Risotto performing any attack, taking or blocking damage, or at a second press of the Style button. Otherwise, it will last indefinitely.
I won't get closer to you. (オレはおまえに.........近づかない, Ore wa omae ni… chikazukanai.)
+ ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Risotto throws a knife projectile towards the ground in front of him, useful for hitting downed opponents. The initial slash that Risotto performs is also an attack, being a high attack whereas the knife is a low attack.
Whenever Risotto lands abilities marked with a star (☆), the opponent is inflicted with Iron Deficiency (鉄分不足, Tetsubun Fusoku) for a period of time, visualized by yellow blood seeping out of their bodies. While afflicted, the opponent is unable to dash forward or backward. In addition, they cannot generate Heart Heat under normal conditions (dealing, taking, or receiving damage; Ripple Breathing for Ripple Style characters), indicated by their Heart Heat Gauge rusting over.
This mode is automatically activated once Risotto falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.
Skills (コマンド技)
You can find iron anywhere in this world. (「鉄分」...それはこの地球上のどこにでもあるのだ..., 'Tetsubun'… Sore wa kono chikyū jō no doko ni demo aru noda…)
+ //ON GROUND
Risotto conjures a volley of 5 projectile scalpels from iron and launches them. The attack button inputted determines the angle the scalpels are launched at, inversely affecting Risotto's recovery speed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Light: Risotto launches the scalpels straight forward.
Medium: Risotto launches the scalpels at an upward angle, functioning as a mid-ranged anti-air.
Heavy: Risotto launches the scalpels sharply upward, functioning as a close-ranged anti-air.
Attack type: High Damage: 10 each (50 in total)
I know how I'll kill you. [☆] (『殺り方』は！できている..., 'Yari kata' wa! Dekiteiru…)
+ //ON GROUND
A counter. Risotto boldly gestures to his opponent. If struck by a non-projectile/HHA/GHA melee attack, he will cross his arms as razors begin bursting out of the opponent's face, knocking them back and inflicting Iron Deficiency. The attack button determines the attack's damage, inversely affecting Risotto's recovery speed. The attack button also determines the duration of the inflicted Iron Deficiency, being 8 / 9 / 10 seconds resepctively. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Damage: 80 / 100 / 120
Control iron within 5-10 meters (射程5～10メートル内の鉄分を操作する, Shatei 5～10 mētorunai no tetsubun o sōsa suru)
x2 + //ON GROUND CHARGEABLE
Risotto manifests Metallica on both of his hands while stretching his arms out, generating a massive field of the Stand's influence visually represented as grey ripples emanating outwards from his feet and covering most of arena space. The button must be held to maintain this skill's effect, and Risotto is forced to be stationary while performing it, though the input can be released at any time to minimize vulnerability.
While the opponent is inside Metallica's range, a timer gauge appears over their head counting down from 3. If Risotto does not release the skill prematurely, and the opponent does not escape the field or interrupt him with an attack before the timer reaches 0, razors will violently explode from their body and send them flying to inflict high damage. This attack is completely unblockable, and will ignore invulnerability, Stylish Guard, and Stylish Evade. To note, the countdown will continue while the opponent is downed, but the attack will not complete if they are downed when the timer reaches 0. (Flash Cancel comboable)
If executed while "Assassin" is in effect, Risotto will remain camouflaged until the input is released, the attack succeeds, or he takes damage.
Damage: 150
The assassin that no one could find (誰もが見つけられなかった暗殺者, Dare mo ga mitsukerarenakatta ansatsusha)
+ //ON GROUND
Risotto rushes a distance forward while briefly camouflaging, before reappearing and unleashing a knife attack. The attack button inputted determines the strike performed.
Light: Risotto performs a low outwards slash, functioning as a low attack that knocks the opponent off their feet. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Medium: Risotto performs a leaping stab from the air, functioning as a middle attack that leaves the opponent crumpling. (Comboable)
Heavy: Risotto performs a lunging stab, sending the opponent flying far back. This variation leaves Risotto the least vulnerable if blocked.
If executed while "Assassin" is in effect, Risotto will remain camouflaged until the instant he delivers the attack.
Close the wound with magnetism (磁力で傷口を縫合, Jiryoku de kizuguchi o hōgō)
x2 + (costs ½ HH) ON GROUND
Expending 1/2 of a bar of Heart Heat, Risotto attempts to manifest Metallica on his body in order to mend his injuries.
While the health regained is considerable, this ability takes time to perform, and can be interrupted if used inopportunely. Upon success, the health begins as regenerating silver damage that disappears if Risotto is struck, meaning he must avoid damage in order to recoup any significant lost health.
Throw (投げ技)
Controlling with magnetism (『磁力のような能力』で操作, 'Jiryoku no yōna nōryoku' de sōsa)
2 ATK buttons at close range or ( to back-throw) ON GROUND
Risotto shoves his opponent off-balance before conjuring several scalpels into the air and launching them into the opponent.
Attack type: Throw Damage: 130 Startup frames: 7
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
The scalpel is pointing in the direction of the magnetic force! (メスは磁力の方向を指し示したッ！, Mesu wa jiryoku no hōkō o sashishimeshita!)
+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
Risotto conjures a volley of projectile scalpels before pointing to launch them forward. If they connect, he follows up by creating more scalpels in a circle around the opponent. The scalpels then fire off and attack the opponent from all sides, launching them away.
Attack type: High Damage: 30 + 8 × 14 + 48 (190)
This is the end! Take this! Metallica! [☆] (とどめだ くらえ 『メタリカ』ッ！, Todomeda! Kurae! 'Metarika'!)
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND
Commanding his opponent's attention, Risotto flings several scalpels straight forward, traveling the length of the stage if allowed to do so. If they connect, the opponent is knocked off balance by the attack as Risotto camouflages and disappears. A massive number of scalpels are then conjured from the ground and fire forward at high speeds, barraging the opponent and carrying them into the air. Reappearing, Risotto finishes his attack by focusing Metallica's power from within the opponent, making razor blades explode out of their body and inflicting them with Iron Deficiency afterward.
This GHA is based off of Risotto's attack prior to being shot by Aerosmith which was originally featured in the Golden Wind anime.
A two-stock assist. Risotto lands in and rushes a distance forward while briefly camouflaging before reappearing and unleashing a knife attack. He then poses before jumping back off-screen. If hit, the opponent will be knocked into the air.
Attack type: Low Damage: 40
Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト, Ribāsaru Ashisuto)
A two-stock assist. Risotto jumps into the opponent, slashing at them with a blade and knocking them away. He then poses before jumping back off-screen.

Give up. Your body can't pass oxygen through itself anymore.

That's all you've got? Then this whole thing was a waste of time.

In commemoration of the release of Risotto as the 1st paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Vento Aureo badges,[6] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[7] The badges in question contain the ASBR render images of Ghiaccio, Prosciutto & Pesci, and Risotto respectively, titled the "Assassionation Team (暗殺者チーム, Asashin Chīmu)".
The campaign started on October 28, 2022, and lasted until November 13 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:
Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway in the first place.
However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.[7]
The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were then announced sometime in December 2022.[7]

Fixed a bug where if Diego Brando was hit with this skill right before the animation to his HHA transformation took place, he would be treated as if he was in a permanently downed state, meaning he'd become invulnerable to skills that cannot hit downed opponents, unable to act, and would not revert back from the transformation after the bar of HH drained. He could, however, still be hit by this skill.[8]
