Introduction
The central antagonist of Battle Tendency, the second part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Kars is the leader of the Pillar Men, a group of ancient, super-human beings that seek to acquire the Red Stone of Aja so that Kars can be transformed into the most powerful being on the planet. As the leader of the Pillar Men, Kars is cunning and deceitful, always looking to gain an upper hand over his opponent at any cost.
Kars is a close-ranged rushdown character that can bully his way into his preferred range with his incredible aerial buttons, large and good-scaling grounded normals, and a variety of movement-based special moves that influence the different ways he can approach the opponent. His Modes add additional hits to his blade-related normals and special moves, increasing the pushback and hitconfirm potential on them as well as giving him an easy cancel option to continue his mix-ups. He has relatively high damage, being able to convert into 30-40% off of even the smallest stray hits, and his vortex potential after a hard knockdown makes him one of the most threatening characters in the game to defend against.
For the cost of two bars and a setup, however, Kars can shed his base form to become the Ultimate Life Form (ULF), an install super that dramatically changes his playstyle into a hybrid zoner-setplay monster who can pressure with a multitude of safe buttons and projectiles, as well as one of the best zoning tools in the game in "The power of supreme genes!". The drastic variations in gameplay between base form and ULF means that Kars can tweak his play depending on the matchup and his opponent, and choose to play in a variety of archetypes to find the one that irritates the other player the most.
Kars isn't all strengths, though; his wakeup is very weak in both forms, especially in ULF when he loses access to his HHA: a large and fast-starting hitbox that can be used as an anti-air callout at some ranges. Kars is extremely momentum focused, and understanding exactly how to keep his mix-ups going is the key to winning games with him.
- Stone Mask: Kars incurs White Damage whenever he is hit, is susceptible to Hamon Damage (does not apply in ULF), and can only be used in certain stages without completing certain in-game conditions.
- Modes: Kars has two main installs, both of which change the properties on his blade-related normals and special moves.
- Ultimate Life Form: For two bars, Kars can transform into the Ultimate Life Form, his third install. In this state, Kars has a multitude of changes to his moveset, with all of his original special moves being replaced with new tools.

Modes
Kars has access to two installs in order to enhance his abilities, both of which are accessible from his base form.
- Light Mode (Mode 1) is activated by pressing the Style button, and costs no meter. This Mode adds an additional hit to each of Kars' blade-related moves and shortens the arc of his jump.
- Brilliant Bone Blades (Mode 2) is activated by pressing 22S, and costs one bar. This Mode adds a third hit to each of Kars' blade-related moves, as well as making his jump arc even shorter and making some of his blade moves start up and end much sooner.
The following moves are affected by both Modes:
- 5H
- 3H
- j.H
- Cruel and beautiful violence!
- Behold, frozen brilliance!
- Victory is everything! (Light and Medium only)
The tradeoff for using Mode is that while in either install, Kars is unable to build any meter until he either turns off Mode (by pressing Style again, only in Mode 1), uses an HHA, successfully completes his GHA, or is forcefully knocked out of the install by taking a hard knockdown.
