Introduction

Guido Mista, a major ally in Vento Aureo, the fifth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, is a hybrid zoner/rushdown character who uses his Stand, Sex Pistols, to change the properties of his bullets and the trajectory of his shots. Mista can extend his combos using the changed shots from Sex Pistols to add more hits and get followups off of moves he previously could not.

On offense, Mista is all about playing from a distance and making sure the opponent doesn't get in by using precise shots from his revolver. "Gonna light you up!" fires his revolver in the basic fashion, but this can be changed up a bit by using "Time to get to work", loading a Sex Pistol into the next bullet he fires; this changes its trajectory a bit more to track and adds more hits per Sex Pistol loaded. Mista can also deploy Sex Pistols with "Places, everyone!", allowing him to use "Pass, pass, pass!" in order to shoot more precisely at the opponent by ricocheting off of the deployed Sex Pistols. Mista's HHA fires shrapnel across the entire screen, making it impossible to jump over, and his GHA fires all of his bullets with a Pistol riding each one, causing them to home in on the opponent. Both of his supers refill his bullets as well as resetting all of his Sex Pistols, making them great tools to either cash out on damage or keep the opponent at bay.

On defense, Mista really struggles, as his kit does not have any unique defensive options. His best option for defense is his HHA, as he can easily stop an opponent who is jumping in front of him, but not so much if they end up directly above and behind him. Mista wants to play defensively by making sure the opponent plays his game and keeping them in a combo for a long time.

• Sex Pistols: Mista can load his Sex Pistols into his next bullet to change its properties or deploy them on the screen in order to ricochet off of them and make sure he hits the opponent.
• Piercing Bullets: While in Resolve Mode, Mista's bullets will pierce through non-HHA or GHA projectiles, improving his own zoning.

Playstyle

Guido Mista is a Stand character who utilizes his Sex Pistols to provide tricky zoning and extensive combos against the opponent.
Pros	Cons
Tricky Zoning: By using Sex Pistols, Mista can make it much harder to beat or avoid his bullets, making him excellent at zoning. Meter Battery: Mista does not use a lot of meter, as he is usually zoning, meaning he can save it for when he really needs it or to cash out on damage. OTG Extender: "Gonna light you up!" has a different Infinite Prevention count for each angle, allowing him to extend his OTGs to be very long and draw out the timer or installs.	High Execution Combos: Mista's Sex Pistols are central to extending combos, meaning that he will have to load more into a bullet in order to do more damage in the combo, leading to hard routing. Unlucky Number 4: Although uncommon, Mista will lose meter if he is hit under certain conditions, which can cause him to lose everything very quickly. Walls: Walls are almost always a huge detriment to Mista's combos, causing them to drop often. This leads Mista to try to keep the opponent away from the wall when he goes into combos.

Sex Pistols

Despite being a Stand User, Mista does not change movesets by pressing the Style button. Instead, Mista uses this button to interact with his Stand, Sex Pistols.

Mista's Sex Pistols help him to hit all of his shots, being used either to change the properties of the bullets he fires or by being used to ricochet the bullets towards the opponent. "Time to get to work" will load a Pistol into the next bullet fired by "Gonna light you up!", changing how many hits it does and how much damage it deals as well as how much it tracks the opponent. "Places, everyone!" sets up a Pistol on the screen to ricochet a shot off of and can be done with all of his Sex Pistols. This gives Mista access to "Pass, pass, pass!", where he fires directly to the Sex Pistols and lets them handle all the aiming. All of the Sex Pistols can be reset by using "Get back here!", allowing him to switch between loading the next shot or setting up for ricochets, as they cannot be used simultaneously.

Bullets

Mista's specials that fire his gun are limited by the number of bullets left in his chamber, which is represented by his bullet icons above his HH gauge. The bullets are either reloaded automatically when Mista tries to fire an empty gun or done manually with Reload or Quick Reload.

Unlucky Number 4

Whenever Mista is hit while he has 4 bullets left in the chamber, he loses meter per hit. This should not come up to often, but it is still important to avoid it, as it is per hit, not per combo; this means that a long combo can cause Mista to lose a lot of meter.
