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, voice lines 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.

+ // for ½ HH ON GROUND TRAP CHARGEABLE WHEN DOWNED
Expending half of a stock of the Heart Heat Gauge, Anasui summons Diver Down to punch the ground, storing the energy in a visible spot as a trap. If the opponent steps on it, they'll be knocked into the air. If they are hit with Diver Down's initial punch, they will crumple to the ground, ensuring that they will activate the trap.

+ //ON GROUND
A command Throw. Diver Down moves forward and reaches outward. If it connects, it enters the opponent, attacking them from the inside, before it phases out of their body to kick them to the ground.

+ //ON GROUND
Diver Down dives into the ground and resurfaces to assault the opponent. The attack performed is determined by the attack button inputted. A Stand Rush skill that Anasui can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing.

Medium (): Diver Down leaps out of the ground to deliver a downward punch that bounces the opponent off the ground. (Comboable)
Heavy (): Diver Down flies out of the ground a set distance away from Anasui to deliver an advancing barrage of punches, knocking the opponent into the air on the final hit. Diver Down will automatically aim its attack towards the opponent; If they are caught between Anasui and DD's point of reappearance, DD will punch in the other direction and attack from behind, pushing them towards Anasui. DD will not perform its barrage unless the first hit either connects with the opponent or is blocked. (Flash Cancel comboable)
While in mid-air, Diver Down moves down at an angle to swing its fist downward, knocking the opponent to the ground hard enough for them to bounce. The distance Diver Down moves and the damage dealt increases in order, but the greater the range, the more vulnerable Anasui becomes.

+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND CHARGEABLE
Diver Down rapidly punches the ground before it and Anasui stomp on the same spot. Diver Down then sinks into the ground. The energy stored in that spot on the floor is then released in a barrage of uppercuts. If it connects, it sends the opponent flying backward. Diver Down then reappears behind the airborne opponent and delivers a second rush of punches, knocking them back towards Anasui and leaving them at his feet.
This HHA can be delayed for a few seconds with a held input.
Attack type: High Damage: 206
Diving in
+ 3 ATK Buttons or ON GROUND
Anasui tells the opponent he'll dispose of them as he sends Diver Down sinking into the ground. Diver Down then reappears directly in front of the opponent to lunge at them, homing in on their location regardless of range or orientation.
If the attack connects, Diver Down dives into their body, leaving them confused. The opponent is then ruthlessly battered internally with a vicious series of punches and kicks in all directions. They are slowly flung into the air by the force of Diver Down's attacks whilst Anasui expresses his Stand's potential to kill them from the inside-out. As he finishes speaking, Diver Down ends the assault with a powerful kick that is delivered with enough strength to pierce through the target's back and send them flying. It then phases out of their body and returns to Anasui.

Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト, Asaruto Ashisuto)

Attack type: High Damage: 71

A one-stock assist. Anasui jumps into the opponent as Diver Down punches down at them, knocking them away. He then dismisses his Stand and poses before jumping back off-screen.

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 WHEN DOWNED

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. It can also now hit downed opponents, with the charged version launching them into the air. 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 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

Crouching Medium Attack
+ ON GROUND

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.
