Funny Valentine (ファニー・ヴァレンタイン, Fanī Varentain) 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.
In the English versions of All-Star Battle R, Valentine's Stand, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, is localized as "Filthy acts, at a reasonable price". However, this title only appears in the character's Great Heat Attack and default match entrance quote. All other appearances of the Stand's name simply use its abbreviated title, D4C.[2]
As Valentine's voice actor since All-Star Battle, Yasuyuki Kase reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Valentine were either added or re-recorded.
Funny Valentine has 900 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (いともたやすく行われるえげつない行為, Itomo Tayasuku Okonawareru Egetsunai Kōi).[a] During a fight, he can use several different attacks of his that were featured in Steel Ball Run.
Valentine briefly summons D4C to attack with a swinging sideways chop.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand Off] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Stand On/Off (スタンドON/OFF, Sutando ON/OFF)
ON GROUND
Switches between User Mode and Stand Mode. Switching modes changes the skills Valentine is able to use.
Back from the "other side"
+ 3 ATK buttons ON GROUND
An exclusive, powerful skill that can only be performed when Valentine holds all three Holy Corpse parts and has a full three stocks of the Heart Heat Gauge. Valentine will slowly spin around with a flag in-hand, swapping places with an alternate version of himself from another dimension. This completely and instantly restores his health to full. If Valentine is low on health and has activated Rumble Mode, then it and its boons will persist into his transition, resulting in him at full health with Rumble Mode engaged. The drawback of this ability, however, is that Valentine will drop all of the Holy Corpse parts and his Heart Heat Gauge will be disabled for the rest of the match. The three stocks of Heart Heat are also immediately consumed upon attempting this skill regardless if Valentine succeeds or not, rendering it a heavy loss if he is interrupted. If struck by Kosaku's GHA, Bites the Dust, after having used this skill successfully, Valentine's HHG will be restored once time has looped backward.
Holy Corpse
// while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Valentine receives a new blessing for every Holy Corpse part he holds, but if successfully knocked down, drops the part and loses said blessing.
Guard Gauge will not go down as quickly.
Defense power increases, reducing the amount of damage Valentine takes by 10%.
"D4C -Love Train-" triggers.
D4C -Love Train-
Automatically activates when in possession of all three Holy Corpse parts
When in possession of all three Holy Corpse parts, D4C -Love Train- generates a barrier of light from the ground around Valentine, making him invincible to all non-HHA/GHA projectiles and traps. However, if in hitstun, Valentine will still be susceptible to these attacks, meaning that if they are used mid-combo, they will still deal their intended effects. The performance of some skills in Stand Mode will also be enhanced, and Valentine's defense will be further increased, resulting in him taking 25% percent less damage (15% more than the damage reduction granted from possessing 2 Holy Corpse parts). The window in which he can Stylish Evade will be extended during this time.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates when under 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Valentine 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 [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
It's merely self-defense
+ //ON GROUND
Valentine draws his gun and rapidly fires a number of bullets before throwing the gun away. The number of the bullets and therefore damage increases in order, but the more bullets, the more vulnerable Valentine becomes. The bullets will miss against crouching (unless they have their Stand summoned or are on their horse) and shorter opponents entirely. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Valentine twirls an American flag around himself as another Valentine comes out from behind it, delivering a flying dive kick that causes a groundbounce if it connects. The other Valentine then disappears using his own flag. The distance away from Valentine that the alternate version emerges increases in order. This skill functions as a short-ranged projectile attack and anti-air. If Valentine is hit after casting this move, the alternate Valentine will still appear and complete his attack, allowing this skill to also function as a sort of combobreaker. Because the version has the alternate Valentine appear behind Valentine, this version of the skill can catch cross-ups. (Comboable)
Attack type: Middle Damage: 55
Hiding in the next dimension.
+ //ON GROUND CHARGEABLE
A special movement technique where Valentine throws a flag into the air, wrapping himself inside of it and disappearing. He then reappears from the flag as it floats around. Valentine is completely invincible from the start of the jump until right before he reappears. Valentine's reappearance can be delayed by holding the inputted attack button. Valentine's jump trajectory is determined by the attack button inputted:
Light (): Valentine jumps straight up.
Medium (): Valentine jumps diagonally up and forward.
Heavy (): Valentine jumps diagonally up and backward.
If Valentine is knocked down with a non-HHA/GHA, he can enact this skill at the cost of one bar of the Heart Heat Gauge, which is particularly useful for holding onto the Holy Corpse part he would normally lose in that situation. If an opponent is in the air during a combo, this skill will continue to juggle them. (Comboable when hitting a previously launched opponent)
Attack type: High Damage: 10
He's gone?!
+ //ON GROUND
A counter attack. Valentine strikes a pose. If hit with a non-Throw/Heart Heat Attack/Great Heat Attack, Valentine grabs the opponent and falls backward, using the opponent and the floor to disappear into another dimension while the opponent instead hits the ground and takes damage. Valentine then reappears from the ground behind the downed opponent. He will always end up on the opposite side of the opponent from where the counter was triggered. The recovery decreases in order, but the speed of the startup will also decrease.

Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
Well, now you've done it!
+ //ON GROUND
D4C advances forward while unleashing a barrage of chops, knocking the opponent to the ground a short distance away on the last hit. The distance D4C travels and number of hits increase in order, but the greater the increase, the more vulnerable Valentine becomes. (Flash Cancel comboable) During D4C -Love Train-, Valentine is invincible from just after activation until the attack begins.
Attack type: High Damage: 72 / 84 / 96
I'll dispose of you
+ //ON GROUND
D4C shifts forward and attacks. D4C will always perform a two-hitting chop, but the follow-up attacks vary based on the attack button inputted. This attack is a Stand Rush-compatible skill that Valentine can disconnect from to freely act while it's executing. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Light (): D4C only performs the initial downward swinging chop.
Medium (): D4C moves into the air to perform a follow-up overhead chop, causing the opponent to crumple to the ground. While the two attacks do not normally combo into each other, they can be made to if the skill is Stand Rushed at the right time after the first hit. They can also combo if the opponent has been launched previously, though the second hit will knock opponents to the ground.
Heavy (): D4C moves forward even more to perform a follow-up low kick that launches the opponent into the air. The two attacks do not combo into each other. However, if used in a combo where the opponent has already been launched, these hits will juggle opponents, though the hits are still not guaranteed to combo into one another without being Stand Rushed with proper timing.
During D4C -Love Train-, the and variants have a slightly faster startup.
Valentine pulls out and tosses a flag into the air before D4C slams it down to the ground. If the last hit connects, the opponent will disappear under the flag with Menger Sponges flying out from under it. Valentine and D4C will then strike a pose as the opponent is launched into a hard knockdown. The damage increases in order, but the higher damage, the more vulnerable Valentine will become. The second hit of this skill can hit downed opponents, but only if they have not been downed by this skill previously. Damage is increased if D4C -Love Train- is active.

Guess who's back! (連れて戻って来た！)
+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
A counter. Valentine and D4C openly present themselves to the opponent with a shrug. If the opponent's non-projectile/Throw/GHA connects, Valentine will slam them into the ground as he uses them as cover to disappear. He will return from the ground with two extra Valentines as the three proceed to beat the downed opponent. D4C finally throws the opponent into the air and in unison, all three Valentines uppercut them, sending them flying. The two extra Valentines then return to their dimensions.
Attack type: Counter Damage: 220
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (いともたやすく行われるえげつない行為, Renamed "Filthy acts, at a reasonable price." in the English localization)
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND
Valentine pulls out a large flag and blankets it forward as he declares the attack something the opponent should be honored to receive. If the opponent is caught, they are draped over by the flag and Valentine jumps under in pursuit shortly afterward. The two are pulled into a parallel dimension, interrupting the battle between their alternate universe counterparts as the camera view is upside-down. Valentine poses with his welcoming doppelganger as the camera reorients itself, while the opponent is forcibly pulled and slammed into their counterpart, resulting in them violently disintegrating into a shower of Menger Sponges as per the rules of D4C.
A two-stock assist. Valentine jumps in and covers himself with an American flag, creating a new Valentine clone that flies towards the opponent with a leg out for a kick. Valentine then poses before jumping back and covering himself with an American flag, disappearing into it.
