All-Star Battle R ★ Jean Pierre Polnareff
Jean Pierre Polnareff (ジャン・ピエール・ポルナレフ, Jan Piēru Porunarefu) 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 changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
Polnareff from Vento Aureo also makes an appearance as a non-playable guide character for both Arcade Mode (アーケードモード, Ākēdo Mōdo) and the Support Effect (サポート効果, Sapōto Kōka) menu in All-Star Battle Mode (オールスターバトルモード, Ōru Sutā Batoru Mōdo).
Fuminori Komatsu reprises his role as Polnareff's voice actor from the Stardust Crusaders anime, replacing Hiroaki Hirata. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Polnareff were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Polnareff has 930 HP and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Silver Chariot, dynamically changing his moveset in the process.

Damage: 20 (normal) / 20 + 4 × 2 (28) (Off comes the armor)
This skill can be used when an opponent is about to retaliate against Silver Chariot or a defenseless Polnareff in order to grant him the time needed to defend, or otherwise fool them into letting their guard down.
If used after the variant of "Start packing for hell!", it will not combo. If Polnareff's HHA is active, this skill will deal more hits and damage.
Attack type: High
Damage:
5 × 5 + 10 (35) (normal) / 49 (Off comes the armor!)
5 × 7 + 10 (45) (normal) / 63 (Off comes the armor!)
5 × 8 + 15 (55) (normal) / 79 (Off comes the armor!)
All variants of this skill can be naturally comboed off of, but the weaker the variant used, the harder it is as, the weaker the variant, the later in the dive Polnareff has to hit the skill. If Polnareff's HHA is active, this skill will deal more hits and damage. It will also be easier to combo off of.
Attack type: Middle
Damage:
30 (normal) / 30 + 7 × 2 (44) (Off comes the armor!)
40 (normal) / 40 + 9 × 2 (58) (Off comes the armor!)

- Light (): Silver Chariot shoots the rapier directly in front of itself, nearly directly down.
- Medium (): Silver Chariot shoots the rapier a short distance in front of itself, at about a 45° angle.
- Heavy (): Silver Chariot shoots the rapier at a great distance in front of itself, almost straight out.
If timed with a taunt on a downed opponent, this skill can allow Polnareff to do a taunt combo as the rapier can hit the opponent right as they are forcibly restood.

This attack can initiate Rush Mode and is a Stand Rush skill that Polnareff can disconnect from to attack the opponent while it is executing. This skill also deals more damage if Polnareff's HHA is active.
Attack type: High
Damage:
10 × 5 + 20 (70) (normal) / 108 (Off comes the armor!)
10 × 6 + 20 (80) (normal) / 124 (Off comes the armor!)
10 × 6 + 30 (90) (normal) / 142 (Off comes the armor!)
If Polnareff's HHA is active this skill will deal more hits and damage.
Attack type: Middle
Damage: 40 (normal) / 40 + 9 × 2 (58) (Off comes the armor!)
While Polnareff's HHA is active, this skill will deal a little more damage.
Attack type: High
Damage: 10 (normal) / 10 + 2 × 2 (14) (Off comes the armor!)
Attack type: Throw
Damage: 100
As Heart Heat Attacks can be universally canceled into from most attacks including specials, this gives Polnareff a means to extend combos by chaining into its activation, instantly canceling an attack, not unlike a Flash Cancel, and allowing him to continue his offense in his enhanced state from there. Polnareff's GHA can be used while this effect is active if he has enough Heart Heat to spare, but it will have no special effect and results in it always being a Lvl 1 GHA, even if the HHG timer is more than half full.
If the initial stab misses, Polnareff withdraws Silver Chariot and laments, "Guess I got sloppy!" (あせり過ぎたか).
Attack type: High
Damage: 322 / 386 / 483 (depending on HH gauge)
A two-stock assist. Polnareff lands in and summons Silver Chariot to shoot its blade into the ground so that it deflects onto the opponent. If hit, the opponent will be launched into the air.
Because of the angle the blade is shot at and the fact that it launches on hit, this assist can be used for taunt combos if a taunt on a downed opponent is timed properly.
Attack type: High
Damage: 80
