All-Star Battle/Guido Mista

Mista makes his comeback in the PS3 title as a playable character and was confirmed for the game alongside Giorno, Kakyoin, and Polnareff.

Mista's entire moveset is based on his previous game appearance, as he uses Sex Pistols to deliver powerful shots and ricochet bullets at the opponent. Despite being one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, Mista cannot switch between movesets, nor does he have access to the Stand Rush ability. He shares this effect with Hol Horse and Diavolo. Instead, Mista's Style button triggers abilities that involve Sex Pistols, powering up the strength of his shots. Mista has 950 HP.

Command List
Exclusive to Mista are a Pistols Icon and Ammunition Icon above his Heart Heat Gauge. The Pistols Icon displays how many and which of Sex Pistols are readily available for use, and the Ammunition Icon displays the number of bullets left loaded in his cylinder out of six.

Gameplay Overview
A highly specialized fighter, Mista revolves almost entirely around his revolver with very few other traits that do not involve shooting or usage of Sex Pistols. As such, he is a proper "zoner" character who performs well at any range with high-speed bullets pressuring an opponent from anywhere. Despite a limited skill quantity, he possesses excellent versatility in his abilities. Up close, Mista has a simple high-low mix-up technique with his available melee attacks that can service him well, one of said attacks being a quick reversal. He can combine different applications of his Stand with gunshots to alter the timing of offensive maneuvers and make himself unpredictable.

As "Time to get to work!" passively enhances his next gunshot and can be performed during most other actions, Mista's best combos involve multiple enhanced bullets. When his bullets being able to strike downed opponents is also taken into account, his can uniquely deal tremendous damage against both juggled and knocked-down foes alike with repeat, enhanced gunshots.

However, Mista is a very difficult combatant to play, with an awfully steep learning curve that makes him unsuitable for beginner players. His simplified set of skills betrays astounding depth that requires practice and proficiency to properly command. Achieving greater damage output with him also requires very tight combo execution, with constant Style button presses. More obviously, however, is his need to manage Ammunition and repeatedly Reload throughout the battle, and extra caution be taken to avoid the effect of "Unlucky Number 4".

Mista is a deeply technical and nuanced character. He cleverly wields both his gun and Sex Pistols to deliver surprise attacks both up close and afar, and is rewarded with the potential for massive damage. When the tide of battle is in his favor, he rarely gives his opponent the opportunity to openly strike, leaving them wary of his attacks' timing and angles.
