All-Star Battle R ★ Rudol von Stroheim
Rudol von Stroheim (ルドル・フォン・シュトロハイム, Rudoru fon Shutorohaimu) was officially announced as the second playable DLC character for All-Star Battle R on January 19, 2023,[1] and was released for all to play on February 3. Like the rest of the first four paid DLC characters, he is included in the game's first season pass, and therefore the Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the game as well; owners of either gained early access to the character on February 1, 2023.[2]
Unlike in Eyes of Heaven, Stroheim's default costume is the same in both the Western and Japanese versions of the game, and any direct mention of Nazis or explicit Nazi imagery have been altered or removed.
Having voiced Stroheim in both the Battle Tendency anime and Eyes of Heaven, Atsushi Imaruoka reprises his role in this game as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Stroheim were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Stroheim has 1000 health and uses the unique Best Science in the World (世界一の科学力, Sekai Ichi no Kagaku-ryoku) Style, which allows him access to a variety of skills utilizing his cyborg body. Notably, Stroheim is able to switch his primary weapon between a 600 rpm heavy machine gun in his chest and an array of ultraviolet lamps mounted on his shoulders.

TranslatedLocalized
An ally in Part 2: Battle Tendency, he is a German army officer who is the commander of a secret base in Mexico. Though proud and a little goofy, he is eminently likeable. He appears to die fighting Santana, but later returns as a cyborg powerful enough to faze even the mighty Kars.

Commemorative Giveaway
In commemoration of the release of Stroheim as the 2nd paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Battle Tendency badges,[6] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[7] The badges in question contain the ASBR render images of Kars, Joseph Joestar, and Stroheim respectively.
The campaign started on February 3, 2023, and lasted until February 19 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 illegible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users illegible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts would have caused all of those accounts to lose their eligiblity to win.[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 early March 2023.[7]
