All-Star Battle R ★ Risotto Nero
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".
Having neither previously appeared in All-Star Battle nor Eyes of Heaven, he has an original moveset based on his appearance in Vento Aureo.
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.
As Risotto's voice actor for the Golden Wind anime adaptation, Shinshu Fuji reprises his role in All-Star Battle R.
Gameplay
Risotto had 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Style. Unusually for a character 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.

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.
- Muhammad Avdol's "Flaming Detector" skill.
- 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.
Attack type: High (slash) + Low (knife)
Damage: 13 + 30 (43)
The only two characters immune to Iron Deficiency are Giorno Giovanna with Gold Experience Requiem, and Diego Brando while in Dinosaur Form.
- 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)
Damage: 80 / 100 / 120
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. It will not however interrupt abilities with a Super Armor effect. 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
- 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.
Attack type: Low / Middle / High
Damage: 40 / 42 / 38
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.
Attack type: Throw
Damage: 130
Startup frames: 7
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)
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, with its main visual effect being taken from the Golden Wind anime.
Attack type: High
Damage: 340 / 408 / 510 (depending on HH gauge)
Attack type: Low
Damage: 40

- When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Risotto leans forward and holds his hands in front of him, as he does after he is shot by Aerosmith.[5]

Risotto's theme is I Have My Own Way. (「殺(や)り方」はできている, 'Yari-kata' wa Dekiteiru), and is automatically unlocked when purchasing Risotto's DLC.
Its name is in reference to a line from Risotto in Chapter 105 of Vento Aureo before he demonstrates his Stand's ability for the first time.

Commemorative Giveaway
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,[7] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[8] 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)".
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:
- Follow the @jojo_games_jp Twitter account.
- 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.[8]
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.[8]
