All-Star Battle R ★ Ermes Costello
Ermes Costello (エルメェス・コステロ, Erumēsu Kosutero) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] She was one of the four characters playable in the game's second Early Access Demo alongside Jotaro Kujo, Jolyne Cujoh, and Foo Fighters.
Her moveset is fundamentally the same as hers from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit her into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
In the English version of All-Star Battle R, the name of Ermes's Stand, Kiss, is localized as "Smack", the same name used in the original All-Star Battle.
Mutsumi Tamura reprises her role from the Stone Ocean anime, replacing Chizu Yonemoto. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Ermes were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Ermes has 1050 health, the highest of any character in the game. She uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, which allows her to freely summon and withdraw her Stand Kiss, dynamically changing her moveset in the process.
This section requires expansion.

Moveset Changes from All-Star Battle
The translation of the name of this skill has changed as well. Previously, it was Pretty handy, huh? instead of It's quite useful....
- : Only deals the punch barrage attack.
- : Adds in the kick barrage.
- : Adds both the kick barrage and the last spinning punch.
As a result of this, Ermes cannot use the follow-up as she pleases unless she commits to the greater recovery time of the higher strength variants. However, this change also results in the third part of the barrage in the variant connecting naturally without having to have stickers on Ermes's legs. Furthermore, aerial opponents no longer fall out in-between the different parts of the attack.
