Introduction

Narancia Ghirga is a major character in Vento Aureo, the fifth part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. In ASBR, Narancia is a very strong and oppressive character that can bully the opponent with his superior range and tools.

Narancia can adapt his game plan based on the state of the match, switching freely between zoning out the opponent with projectiles and getting in the opponent's face and pressuring them up close. His Stand On playstyle primarily revolves around harassing the opponent with big, disjointed normals and capitalizing off of stray hits, using Stand Rush to convert into high damage combos. In Stand Off, Narancia has much less range but is scary nonetheless, thanks to gaining access to a fully invincible DP that he can Flash Cancel for a full combo, as well as a command grab, and can Quick Stand On back into Stand On mode whenever he feels like he needs the range.

• Disjoints: Most of Narancia's Stand attacks are fully disjointed due to being projectiles, preventing him from being counterpoked.

Playstyle

Narancia Ghirga is a hybrid keepaway/rushdown character that can choose to either zone out the opponent with projectiles or apply pressure based on the situation at hand.
Pros	Cons
Oppressive Neutral: In Stand On, Narancia has access to massive disjointed projectile normals that can easily out range the majority of the other characters in the game. In addition, he has a multi-projectile fireball that goes fullscreen with "I'll make you swiss cheese!", which can make approaching difficult. Gross Damage: Narancia's damage potential is incredibly high, with the potential of being able to kill some characters in a single combo with enough meter. Scary Pressure: Many of Narancia's strings and special moves can be canceled with Stand Rush, allowing him to continue pressure relentlessly and keep the opponent blocking. Ignorant DP: Access to a fully invincible DP in Stand Off with "I'll shoot you through!", which can be Flash Cancelled to either make it safe or convert into a full combo on hit, allowing Narancia to ignore oki situations for little risk and high reward.	Meter Hungry: Stand Rush is used constantly during combos and in pressure strings, using half of a bar of meter each time, which can add up quickly. He also wants to keep a meter on hand in order to be able to Flash Cancel "I'll shoot you through!" in a pinch.
