Kars (カーズ, Kāzu) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.

“

Only one can stand at the top! (頂点に立つ者は常にひとり！)

”

—Chapter 104: The Warrior Returns to the Wind

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.

Kars's voice actor, Kazuhiko Inoue, reprises his role from the Battle Tendency anime and All-Star Battle. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Kars were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay

Kars has 850 health and uses the Mode (モード, Mōdo) Style, which allows him to toggle use of his unique Mode at any time during battle, at the cost of draining his Heart Heat Gauge. Furthermore, as a Pillar Man, part of the damage Kars receives from non-Ripple attacks is automatically converted into recoverable gray health.

This section requires expansion.

Cruel and beautiful violence! (惨虐にしてあざやかな奇襲！)

+ //

ON GROUND

Kars dives forward, arm blade extended, to slice through the opponent, knocking them into the air if connected. The damage dealt and the distance forward that Kars dashes increases in order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. Each version of the attack has its own properties.

• Light (): Kars will not move through to the other side of the opponent.
• Medium (): Kars will move through to the other side of the opponent. If used up close, the two hits of the skill will not naturally combo into each other.
• Heavy (): Kars will move through to the other side of the opponent and will perform an uppercut with his blade.

This skill does more damage if Kars is in "Light Mode" or if "Brilliant Bone Blades" is active.

In a single motion of his arm, Kars unleashes multiple slashes in front of himself with great range. If it connects, the last hit will launch the opponent into the air. The distance Kars moves forward and number of hits, and therefore damage, increases in order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. The slashes are capable of destroying incoming non-GHA projectiles. (Flash Cancel comboable)
This skill does more damage if Kars is in "Light Mode" or if "Brilliant Bone Blades" is active.

Attack type: High

Shatter against the wall! (壁面にたたきつけてやろう！)

+ //

ON GROUND IN AIR OK

Kars performs a reverse kick that sends the opponent flying into the stage wall. The attack can also be performed in mid-air. The distance Kars moves forward and the damage dealt increases in order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. The version deals high guard damage.
Because this skill can launch opponents across the entirety of the stage, it can provide setup into Kars's GHA if used when facing away from a stage wall.

Attack type: High
Damage: 55 (grounded) 90 (airborne) / 65 (grounded) 100 (airborne) / 75 (grounded) 110 (airborne)

Victory is everything! (勝てばよかろうなのだァァァァッ！！)

+ //

ON GROUND

Kars utilizes light to disappear, with his subsequent reappearance and attack depending on the type of button inputted.

• Light (): He reappears above the opponent with a foot blade extended in a dive kick to knock them down, hard enough for them to bounce. It is plus on block, meaning that Kars can act before the opponent can if this skill is blocked. (Comboable)
• Medium (): He reappears in front of the opponent and strikes them with an upwards slash, launching them into the air on hit. This variant is only comboable if either "Light Mode" or "Brilliant Bone Blades" is active.
• Heavy (): He reappears directly behind the opponent without attacking. Kars can act almost immediately after he reappears, making this a great tool for catching the opponent off guard if used correctly. It is especially good as an anti-zoning tool if timed properly.

This skill does more damage if Kars is in "Light Mode" or if "Brilliant Bone Blades" is active.

Attack type: Middle / Low
Damage:
60 (normal) / 64 (Light Mode) / 72 (Brilliant Bone Blades)

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)

Brilliant Bone Blades (輝彩滑刀(きさいかっとう))

+ 2 ATK Buttons

ON GROUND

Kars slyly licks his arm blade before unleashing a large, shining array of slashes done in a single movement of his arm. If they successfully hit, Kars then dives forward to slash past the opponent in a samurai-esque fashion before bringing his arm down. After a short delay, the opponent suffers a final, gashing blow.
While Brilliant Bone Blades (install) is active, Kars may perform his HHA regardless of how much of the Heart Heat Gauge he has left. It will also cause it to do more damage. Light Mode being active also results in a damage increase.

Attack type: High
Damage: 174 (normal) / 191 (Light Mode/Brilliant Bone Blades)

“

Brilliant Bone Blades! This is it! (流法(モード)「輝彩滑刀(きさいかっとう)」！！ とどめッ！)

+ 3 ATK Buttons or

ON GROUND

Kars dons the Stone Mask in combination with the Red Stone of Aja to attempt to turn into the Ultimate Thing. From the ground, he will begin to slowly rise to his feet. If the animation fully plays out uninterrupted by the opponent, the mask shatters, and Kars gains a completely new array of moves.
This GHA is one of the longest and most difficult ones to fully activate, taking roughly 5 seconds to complete. As such, certain characters can make it nigh-impossible to successfully transform.

“

The Red Stone of Aja! Aaahhhhhhh... Hngh! Celebrate this new birth! Heh heh heh... Ha ha ha ha! (エイジャの「赤石(せきせき)」よッ！！ アアアアアアアアアアアアア… フン！ 新しい誕生祝いだッ フフ…フフフフフ。フハハハハハハ)

Predator Wings (猛禽類の翼)

// then //

ON GROUND

Kars sprouts wings and takes flight, slowly depleting the HH gauge for as long as he stays in the air. If he hits the opponent while jumping forward or straight-up, they will take damage and be launched into the air. Kars will not hit the opponent if he jumps backward. While flying, Kars gains improved mobility and has access to several attacks. Kars will continue flying until he either lands, inputs , completely depletes the HH gauge, or performs three aerial attacks. If Kars activates this move while he has no Heart Heat, he will still perform a Super Jump, but he will not transition into a flying state. (Comboable)
Because Kars's grounded normals can be canceled into this special, it makes for a great way to transition a grounded combo into an aerial one.

Attack type: High
Damage: 15

Aerial Dash (空中ダッシュ)

or in midair

IN AIR OK

Kars quickly rushes forward or backwards with a flap of his wings. The forward dash can collide with the opponent, acting as a reliable anti-air that can possibly be comboed off of. As long as Kars has Heart Heat, he will start flying after he dashes. If he has no Heart Heat, he will fall to the ground after the dash.

Attack type: High
Damage: 15

Aerial Chain Beat (空中チェーンビート)

//

IN AIR OK

While in mid-air, Kars can chain his aerial normal attacks together in order of increasing power, much like any other character could on the ground. This ability synergizes with "Predator Wings", allowing Kars to freely continue aerial combos from his Super Jump.

Brilliant Bone Blades (輝彩滑刀(きさいかっとう))

+

ON GROUND

Kars charges forward and attacks with his Bone Blade in one fell swoop, launching the opponent on hit. This move is a command normal that can chain into Kars's other skills. (Comboable)

Attack type: Unblockable
Damage: 50

Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)

Activates below 30% health

This mode is automatically activated once Kars falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

ON GROUND IN AIR OK

Kars launches projectile attacks from his body. This skill can also be used while in flight, and the resulting attack differs based on button input.

• Light (): He moves forward slightly and fires off a volley of his hardened feathers straight forward. If used in the air, Kars will move backward slightly instead of forward. (Flash Cancel comboable)
• Medium (): He jumps backward and launches a piranha that quickly arcs downward. If used in the air, Kars will instead move backwards slightly instead of up and back. If the piranha hits the opponent, they will crumple to the ground. (Comboable)
• Heavy (): He sics a squirrel created from his hand on his opponent. When used on the ground, Kars will toss the squirrel a small distance in front of him, while in the air, he will drop it directly down to the ground. The squirrel will chase and home in on the opponent. If it hits, it will launch the opponent into the air and cause a hard knockdown. (Flash Cancel comboable)
  
  

Attack type: High / Middle (first hit) High (second and third hit) / High (before squirrel hits the ground) Low (after squirrel hits the ground)
Damage: 66 / 58 / 60

Feast your eyes on my Ripple! (そおうだッ！　「波紋」だよォ！)

ON GROUND

Kars attacks with Ripple-charged fists. The technique performed determined by button input.

• Light (): Kars moves forward slightly and swipes downward with one hand before swiping up with the other, launching the opponent into the air if connected. (Flash Cancel comboable)
• Medium (): Kars slides a distance forward while performing a downward elbow strike, knocking the opponent to the ground in a soft knockdown.
• Heavy (): Kars dashes forward to unleash a powerful body blow, knocking the opponent to the ground in a hard knockdown.

ON GROUND

Kars transforms his arm into a large octopus tentacle as he swings it in a wide breadth while laughing maniacally. The last hit pulls the opponent towards Kars. The range of the tentacle, number of hits, and therefore damage, as well as the distance the opponent is pulled towards Kars increases in order, but the greater the increase, the longer the recovery. This skill can cancel into "Predator Wings".

Moveset Changes from All-Star Battle

NormalUltimate Thing (究極生命体)

Show Commands

Normals (通常技)

Standing Heavy Attack

ON GROUND

This attack now deals more damage when Light Mode is active. Similarly, when "Brilliant Bone Blades" is active, this move will deal more damage now instead of becoming Unblockable.

Jumping Light Attack

IN AIR OK

The hitbox of this attack is bigger than it was in All-Star Battle and now extends farther downward, making it appear as if Kars's knee is also part of the attack.

Jumping Medium Attack

IN AIR OK

The hitbox of this attack is bigger than it was in All-Star Battle and now extends farther backward. This results in Kars's other leg now being included in it, which makes it much better for crossups.

Jumping Heavy Attack

IN AIR OK

The hitbox of this attack is bigger than it was in All-Star Battle and now extends farther forward. This allows for better crossups as the attack can be used much later in Kars's jump arc and still connect. This attack now also deals more damage when Light Mode is active. Similarly, when "Brilliant Bone Blades" is active, this move will deal more damage now instead of becoming Unblockable.

Show Commands

Style/Specials/Etc. (スタイル/特殊技/その他)

Light Mode

ON GROUND

While active, this mode will no longer drain the Heart Heat Gauge. Instead, it prevents Kars from building Heart Heat while guarding, attacking, or being hit. This also means that Kars does not require Heart Heat to activate the mode. It also no longer turns skills that use Kars's bone blades into Unblockable attacks. Additionally, when Kars is knocked down, the mode will be forcibly deactivated now.

Brilliant Bone Blades

+

ON GROUND

This install no longer uses the HH gauge as a timer. Instead, the install will be active until Kars is either knocked down or he uses his HHA. Kars's attacks that utilize his bone blades also are no longer Unblockable; they instead add more hits, and therefore damage. When Kars uses his HHA during this mode, it will cost him no Heart Heat instead of emptying the rest of his HH gauge, regardless of the number of stocks he has. Additionally, the translation for the name of this install has changed from its previous title of "Shining Sabres".

Skills (コマンド技)

Cruel and beautiful violence!

ON GROUND

When the version of this skill hits, Kars no longer passes onto the other side of the opponent to knock them into the air. Because of this, the animation is now different. Instead of swinging his arm into the air after he dashes forward, Kars instead follows through on his swing and spins around back into a standing position. The version shares this animation as well, while the only uses it when the attack misses. If the version is used up close to the opponent, the first and second hits will not naturally combo into each other, allowing the opponent to block it if they cross their block properly. The and variants also now knock the opponent away from Kars instead of straight into the air when hitting an aerial opponent.

Behold, frozen brilliance!

+ //

ON GROUND

When using the and versions, Kars now moves forward a small distance. The last hit now also launches the opponent into the air. Furthermore, the recovery on all versions of the skill is much shorter than it was in All-Star Battle.

Shatter against the wall!

ON GROUND IN AIR OK

Kars moves farther forward than he did in All-Star Battle for all variants. Also, the aerial version of the skill now does significantly more damage than the grounded version instead of being the same.

Victory is everything!

ON GROUND

The attack's input has been changed. Previously, it was in place of . All variants of the skill also have their own differences.
The variant of the skill can now be comboed off of without having to be in Light Mode.

ON GROUND

The input for this ability is slightly different now. Instead of the first input only being , it now also allows for or . Also, this special now has a hitbox and causes damage when Kars is jumping forward or straight up. If connected, it will launch the opponent into the air, making it a great way to turn a grounded combo into an aerial one. Additionally, if Kars runs out of Heart Heat while in the air, his flight will now be cancelled instead of continuing until something else cancels it. This also means that if Kars activates this special while he has no Heart Heat, it will instead act only as a Super Jump instead of transitioning him into a flying state.

Aerial Dash

or in midair

IN AIR OK

The "Aerial Dash" and "Aerial Back Dash" specials from All-Star Battle have been combined into this single special. While they remain functionally the same, there are some small differences. Kars does not dash as far now, and it deals significantly less damage. It also now causes a soft knockdown after launching the opponent rather than a hard knockdown, which means that if it connects on an aerial opponent, it is now possible to combo off of. Because Kars can no longer fly if he has no Heart Heat, activating this move while he has no HH will no longer cause him to start flying after he dashes.

Brilliant Bone Blades

+

ON GROUND

The opponent is not launched as far as they were in All-Star Battle. They are also launched at a slightly higher angle, which allows for the version of "The power of supreme genes!" to combo off of this command normal now. However, the version of the same skill can no longer be comboed into, though that is due to changes to that version of the skill rather than this attack. The skill has also lost its ability to be Flash Canceled. Additionally, the translation for the name of this command normal has changed from its previous title of "Shining Sabres".

The power of supreme genes!

ON GROUND IN AIR OK

Each variant of the skill has changes.

• Light (): Kars does not move as far forward when shooting his feathers as he did in All-Star Battle.
• Medium (): Kars now jumps backward before shooting the piranha, leading to the piranha being shot later than it was in All-Star Battle and the arc of the shot being different. The distance it travels is ultimately the same though. If the piranha connects, the opponent will now crumple to the ground, making it so this variant no longer needs to be Flash Canceled to combo off of. It also means that if it connects on an aerial opponent, the opponent will now be knocked to the ground in a hard knockdown instead of recovering out of the hit.
• Heavy (): If the squirrel hits after it touches the ground, all hits of the squirrel are now Lows instead of the last one being a Middle. If the squirrel hits while it's falling to the ground, all hits after the first are now Lows instead of Middles. The first hit also now launches the opponent.

Feast your eyes on my Ripple!

ON GROUND

Each variant now causes a different effect.

• Light (): Instead of normal hitstun, this variant now launches the opponent. Kars also now moves forward.
• Medium (): Instead of causing a groundbounce, this variant now causes a soft knockdown. As such, it can no longer be comboed off of, but it does deal more damage now. Also, Kars does not move as far forward as he did in All-Star Battle.
• Heavy (): Instead of being launched on hit, this variant now causes a hard knockdown, meaning that this variant can no longer be comboed off of. It deals more damage now though. Also, Kars does not move as far forward.

This cannot be!

+ //

ON GROUND

This skill now pulls the opponent towards Kars on the last hit of the skill instead of launching them away on the first hit, making it easier to combo off of. This is further helped by its ability to now be canceled into "Predator Wings". The number of hits also increases in order now, which causes the damage to increase instead of staying the same across all variants. Furthermore, the and variants execute significantly faster than they did in All-Star Battle.

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, although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan. The badges in question contained the ASBR render images of Rudol von Stroheim, Joseph Joestar, and Kars 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:

1. Follow the @jojo_games_jp Twitter account.
2. Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway.

However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.

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 announced sometime in early March 2023.
