All-Star Battle/Funny Valentine

Funny Valentine is a playable character in All-Star Battle (PS3). He was the last standard character confirmed for the game, alongside "Kosaku Kawajiri". As a Part 7 character, three parts of the Holy Corpse appear scattered on stages when he, Johnny, and/or Gyro are being played, which they can pick up to receive blessings that boost their performance in combat. Corpse Parts are obtained by crouching while over them.

Valentine is both the only playable antagonist and "Stand" Style fighter in Part 7. He can turn Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap on/off which changes his moveset and lets him use the Stand Rush ability, being able to attack in conjunction with his Stand. Valentine has 900 HP.

Command List
During a fight, Valentine showcases skills and feats he had performed throughout Steel Ball Run.

Gameplay Overview
Valentine is a cunning fighter who utilizes an unorthodox set of abilities to trick his opponents. His abilities in Stand Off focus primarily on an array of various diverse skills, ranging from multiple projectiles, a counter, and an evasive move, potentially making it hard to predict his next action and create a neutral-focused playstyle. While D4C is active, he shifts entirely toward the Stand's close-quarters offense with various striking attacks and mix-up specials that lead to considerably damaging combos. As he switches between the two sets of skills, Valentine achieves great utility. More importantly, he arguably benefits the most from collecting Holy Corpse Parts of any Part 7 character, gaining increased defense and eventually developing Love Train, which passively protects him from most projectiles and enhances his Stand On skills.

Though his moves are considered versatile, it is just as easy to view them as situational as well, mainly his Stand Off skills. When D4C is inactive, Valentine becomes much less effective and focuses on neutral and defense, partly due to the linearity and awkward application of his skills; If his opponent can force him to remain in Stand Off, it becomes very difficult for him to repel high aggression and rushdown types, which in turn prevents him from retaining Corpse Parts that bolster his defense.

Nonetheless, Valentine is an advanced character who benefits greatly from creative application of his diverse powers, pressuring and prodding at the opponent from afar until he can seize the chance to assault them with D4C's tricky melee. Once Love Train is active, he can more readily shift to a bolder, offensive style of play as he possesses innate protection, ultimately leading him to becoming a nigh-uncontestable force.
