Muhammad Avdol (モハメド・アヴドゥル, Mohamedo Avuduru) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]
Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, a few tweaks have been made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
The English localization of the game spells his name as "Mohammad Avdol," the same name used in the original All-Star Battle.
Kenta Miyake reprises his role as Avdol's voice actor from the Stardust Crusaders anime, replacing Masashi Ebara. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Avdol were either added or re-recorded.
Avdol has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Magician's Red, dynamically changing his moveset in the process.
Avdol punches upwards in an swinging motion that hits twice and launches the opponent.

Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)

+ //ON GROUND

ON GROUND

Crouching Medium Attack
+ ON GROUND
While attacking, Magician's Red now moves forward slightly, giving this attack slightly more range.
Standing Heavy Attack
ON GROUND

IN AIR OK
The hitbox has been extended downwards, allowing this attack to now hit grounded opponents if timed correctly.
Jumping Heavy Attack
IN AIR OK

Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
I'll burn you to cinders!
+ //ON GROUND
The number of hits has been decreased by two for all variants of the skill. This results in the damage being different for all three variants, with the variant being significantly less while the variant is significantly greater. The variant is slightly less, but relatively comparable. The and variants have also lost their ability to be Flash Canceled, while the variant has lost its invulnerability on startup.
Flaming Detector
+ //ON GROUND
The and variants' projectiles are now slower but travel a greater distance. The projectile will also disappear if Avdol takes damage now.
HELL 2 U!
+ //ON GROUND
Magician's Red moves farther out while attacking for all variants. Because of this and the fact that the duration of the skill remains the same, this results in Magician's Red teleporting back to Avdol when using the variant rather than sliding back like it does with the other variants. The now launches the opponent while the variant now launches the opponent farther away than it did in All-Star Battle into a hard knockdown instead of a soft knockdown. It can also now cause a wallbounce if the opponent hits a wall after being launched away. The damage for all variants is also greater. Furthermore, the first strike of the assault now only hits once instead of twice.
Now's my chance!
+ //ON GROUND
The startup of the variant has decreased while the recovery of the variant has increased, affecting their animations accordingly. The height the opponent is launched and the damage dealt increases as the strength of the attack button inputted does instead of staying the same across variants. Furthermore, the point at which the can be Flash Cancel is now earlier, making it easier to combo off of.
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
Give me four wishes instead!
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND
The camera behavior after the HHA finishes is different. Instead of being a slow pan that zooms out as it moves, it quickly zooms out as the camera view moves upward then straight down. This helps with the feel of the HHA's recovery as it feels much faster now despite being unchanged. The translation for the name of this HHA has also changed slightly. Previously it was "Gimmie four wishes instead!" in place of "Give me four wishes instead!".

This change is to make it easier to cancel into this attack when a Standing Medium Attack hits on the edge of its hitbox.
Crouching Medium Attack [Stand On]
Fixed a bug where the collision box was disappearing during the attack.
"Must I do this the hard way?" skill
Sped up when Magician's Red's collision box would disappear to help prevent moves from both players not hitting due to collision boxes colliding and pushing both players away from each other.
