Narciso Anasui (ナルシソ・アナスイ, Narushiso Anasui) was confirmed 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.
In the English localization of All-Star Battle R, Anasui's name is localized as "Narciso Anastasia", carried on from its first official usage in the Stone Ocean anime adaptation. However, in the French localization of the game, he is localized as "Narcisso Annasui". Additionally, his Stand, Diver Down, is localized as "Diver Drive", which is carried on from its first official usage in All-Star Battle.
Replacing Anasui's previous voice actor, Yuichi Nakamura, is Daisuke Namikawa, who voices Anasui in the Stone Ocean anime. Because of this, and like the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Anasui were either added or re-recorded.
Anasui has 950 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Diver Down. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Stone Ocean.
Anasui moves a significantly farther distance than he did in All-Star Battle since he no longer actually moves back when he steps back into his neutral position.
Standing Medium Attack
ON GROUND
The vertical hitbox has been extended, making it easier to hit aerial opponents and use this normal in juggles now.
Jumping Heavy Attack
IN AIR OK
This attack no longer stops Anasui's momentum, making it easier to use in combos. However, this makes it impossible to land all three punches on a grounded opponent now.
Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand Off] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Shut yer trap!
+ ON GROUND
Anasui moves forward a shorter distance than he did in All-Star Battle. Additionally, the attack executes faster now.
Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
And... RELEASE!
+ // for ½ HH ON GROUND TRAP CHARGEABLE
This attack now costs half a stock of Heart Heat rather than one-eighth. It also deals more hits, increasing from two to either five or eight based on whether or not the skill is charged. The damage is significantly higher as well, with the damage increasing as the strength of the attack button inputted does. Furthermore, the trap now causes a hard knockdown instead of a soft knockdown. Additionally, Diver Down now moves forward a short distance before attacking when the or variants are used.
You're in range!
+ // ON GROUND
Only the variant is a hitgrab now, as the and variants only have Diver Down perform its initial attack. This initial attack launches the opponent for those variants now instead. The variant also has the chance to not even activate the grab part of the attack if the attack connects too far away, in which case the opponent will be launched away by the single hit just like with the other variants. The damage of this skill is also significantly higher than it was in All-Star Battle, with the damage increasing as the strength of the button inputted does now rather than staying the same across variants.
Meat and Bone Suspension
+ // ON GROUND
The opponent is not launched quite as high into the air now. Additionally, the skill's damage has been unified across variants instead of varying based on the attack button inputted.
Normals [Stand On] (通常技)
Standing Heavy Attack
ON GROUND
Diver Down moves forward a significantly greater distance than it did in All-Star Battle when attacking.
Crouching Light Attack
+ ON GROUND
This normal and Anasui's Stand Mode Crouching Medium Attack have been swapped. As such, it deals less damage and changes Anasui's comboing routes.
Crouching Medium Attack
+ ON GROUND
This normal and Anasui's Stand Mode Crouching Light Attack have been swapped. As such, it's startup has been increased as has its damage. However, compared to Anasui's old Crouching Medium Attack, the damage and start up are comparable.
Jumping Medium Attack
IN AIR OK
This attack will now knock opponents into the air on hit rather than causing normal hitstun.
Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
How awful...
+ // ON GROUND
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was in place of . When this command throw completes, the opponent is now knocked to the ground in a hard knockdown rather than being launched high into the air. Diver Down also moves farther forward when it reaches out, with the range varying depending on what attack button is inputted.
Dive!
+ // ON GROUND
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was in place of . For the variant, Diver Down will no longer perform its barrage unless the first hit connects or is blocked. Additionally, Diver Down can now hit the opponent when it dives into the ground, increasing the damage of the variants slightly.
Go to hell!
+ // IN AIR OK
Diver Down now moves an increasing (depending on the attack button inputted) distance away from Anasui to deliver its punch, giving this attack much more range. Instead of stopping Anasui's momentum entirely, when using this skill, Anasui performs a small hop back, causing him to fall to the ground while Diver Down attacks. These two things combined result in Diver Down returning to Anasui on the ground rather than in the air. Furthermore, the variant now causes a groundbounce like the other variants instead of basic hitstun.
