Introduction

Two minor villains from Golden Wind, the Fifth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Prosciutto and Pesci (often referred to as just Prosciutto) are a highly versatile character in All-Star Battle with almost every tool in the game, with strong normals and specials giving Prosciutto an answer to almost everything. Using Stand-Off mode Prosciutto has Pesci by his side giving him access to a highly powerful trap with 214L/M/H that makes approaching Prosciutto a very difficult task, a strong ranged low special with 22L/M/H that leads into Prosciutto's highly damaging OTG combos using his 3H. Combining all of these tools together can make Prosciutto in Stand-Off one of the hardest to approach characters in the game.

Prosciutto's Stand-On mode gives Prosciutto some of the hardest to escape pressure in the game with his s.236L allowing him to make everything highly plus and with his quick standing overhead 3H and instant overhead with dash jump j.H makes blocking him a tough task. Prosciutto's damage in Stand-On is also some of the highest meterless damage in the game making him a monster if he ever gets close and someone you absolutely must keep out or be ready to block. Adding onto this, every time Prosciutto gets in he ends his combos with his s.22L which increases his unique aging gauge which disables certain universal mechanics making it even harder to escape his next pressure sequence as you'll be heavily gimped and missing out a few key answers to escaping him. While Stand-On Prosciutto can very easily 2 touch the entire cast even without assists thanks to his high damage and scary pressure.

While Prosciutto and Pesci sound invincible they have one huge weakness and it's zoning, Prosciutto has no easy answer to getting zoned out hard and will have to wade his way through projectiles to get his game plan started, but nevertheless, with his combination of huge strengths, few weaknesses, and unique aging mechanic makes Prosciutto and Pesci one of the strongest characters in the game.

Playstyle

Prosciutto & Pesci are a hybrid defensive monster and pressure demon that can seal the opponent out of their precious system mechanics.
Pros	Cons
Versatility: With both a highly useful Stand-Off and Stand-On mode, Prosciutto has access to everything you could want minus a projectile, combining his powerful trap, ranged lows, and strong conversions with Stand-Off. Alongside his powerful mixup, pressure that seemingly has no end in sight, and oppressively good aging mechanic with Stand-On you get a powerhouse of a character. Aging Mechanic: To the uninitiated, his aging mechanic can prove to be a massive annoyance as even at level one it disables the universal defensive mechanic of Stylish Dodge allowing Prosciutto to run offense at virtually no risk. High damage output: Prosciutto deals amazing damage off virtually everything before adding in meter and assists, easily 3 touching almost the entire cast without even needing to spend a single drop of meter and potentially in fewer touches if meter is used. Not Meter Reliant: Not only does Prosciutto easily build over a whole bar of meter off every confirm but he never needs it for his combos and usually when he does spend it on a Flash Cancel for an extension he always builds back way more than he spent. This lack of a reliance on meter lets Prosciutto stock up as much meter as he wants to spend it on whatever he wants, whether it's level 3 GHAs or Flash Cancels to maintain safety if he accidentally overextends in pressure.	Weak to strong zoning: Prosciutto can struggle to approach someone with strong zoning as he lacks a good answer other than 22L/M/H and hoping it trades in his favor. ※ Inconsistent combos: This only applies to certain characters but a good amount of Prosciutto's combos do not work on the entire cast (namely 3H > 236H-4) but universal combos exist and still do good numbers but are definitely slightly weaker. The more notable weakness is that Funny Valentine can entire avoid his OTGs with his 623L/M/H. This however only applies to one matchup and does mean you force him to spend meter to escape your combos and this can be avoided by doing universal routes.

Unique Mechanic

Prosciutto has a unique aging mechanic that increases by one level every time he lands his s.63214L/M/H, s.22L/M/H, or all the way to level 3 if Prosciutto successfully counters his opponent with his HHA. Each level disables a specific universal system mechanic and the effects last 7 seconds before it goes to back level 0 but the timer is reset every time Prosciutto lands an aging move. A level is removed every time Prosciutto is knocked down and is reset to 0 instantly if Prosciutto is hit by a GHA. If the opponent attempts to use something they've been sealed out of they temporarily get staggered.

The mechanics that are removed at each level

• Level 1: No stylish dodge/stylish guard
• Level 2: No jumping
• Level 3/MAX: Disables forward and backdashes
