I would’ve liked to preface this video with how much I like La Squadra, but I’m sure
everyone already subbed knows how many times I’ve said that, so I don’t need to put
that up.
Well, since I’ll be ranking the members in the group, it’d be optimal to rank on
how well they’d be able to do against each other instead of doing something like ranking
on how well they do against everyone else or one specific person.
Let’s give them that fighting game starting position and see where they rank.
[Melone] Well, starting this, I’m going to be putting
Melone at the bottom.
Melone’s stand is Babyface, a stand that can create a secondary stand which is the
one we saw fight against Giorno.
It’s a strong stand when manifested, having an ability that basically lets it manipulate
matter.
The problem is if I’m going to consider everything about a stand user stand like activation,
Melone gets 86’d since his stand requires a good while to start-up.
[Illuso] Next is Illuso because he runs into difficulties
with how impractical his stand is.
Illuso’s stand Man in the Mirror has this mirror world ability to where Illuso can dictate
what does and doesn’t come into it.
Meaning he can do stuff like only grab a stand user without pulling their stand, it’s actually
busted.
If I’m going to put everyone on a neutral ground where no one gets buffs to their abilities
off the weight of their surroundings, then I can’t give Illuso a scenario where everyone
that fights him is in a place with multiple mirrors.
Which means since this is a versus situation and Man in the Mirror isn’t that strong
to combat other stands like that, he falls in comparison to the others.
Though putting this aside, Man in the Mirror is busted.
If he does have the right surroundings, he has the ability to contest almost everyone
here.
Or well, I don’t know how Man in the Mirror splits Ghiaccio and how that looks, but it
most likely does work anyways so yeah.
Can take out everyone with the right conditions.
[Formaggio] Next is Formaggio and his stand Little Feet.
Little Feet’s ability is shrinking, after being cut with the stand’s long index finger,
you’ll shrink gradually over time.
Little Feet can fair well enough to defend itself on normal stand attacks towards it
which means it can take out someone like Illuso mono y mono, but its ability is a process.
To shrink anything takes a reasonable amount of time, meanwhile you have some like Prosciutto
who can speed up your aging off contact.
While Formaggio is faster than Prosciutto, he’s heating his body up by fighting, which
in turn makes him age faster because of Grateful Dead.
So, if Formaggio knicked Prosciutto, Prosciutto would still end up being able to play the
better game.
[Prosciutto] Now onto Prosciutto and his stand The Grateful
Dead.
The Grateful Dead’s ability causes organisms to age physically and mentally at an accelerated
rate.
An amazing thing about this stand is that temperature aspect where the rate that people
age depends on their body heat.
It’s so strong when it comes to Prosciutto fighting because of how people heat up during
these fights like when he had fought against Bruno.
So then stands that normally outmatch The Grateful Dead by a huge margin are now a lot
easier to fight because they’re being whittled down by the aging.
And for being an AOE ability, it’s great that he doesn’t get affected by it unless
he purposely ages himself for some reason.
Cons to the stand though, it’s boxing range is relatively short, especially with its leggy
arms.
And if you do know about its ability and have the range to out-match him, then it should
be relatively easy to put Prosciutto.
[Pesci] Enter Pesci and his stand Beach Boy who has
both the range and knowledge to out-match Prosciutto.
Pesci’s Beach Boy phases through anything, and basically lets him fish anything or anybody.
Beach Boy also lets him tear apart every member before him, the problem is he doesn’t have
much to do for those in-front
of him.
[Ghiaccio] The next member is Ghiaccio.
White Album’s ability is cryokinesis with him being able to making everything he touches,
colder.
He can also create ice armor out of the moisture in the air, and it’s ridiculous efficient
at doing its job.
With the speed and abilities of White Album, he blitzes the members below him and freezes
them.
Mobility is an enormous thing with this stand.
While someone like Pesci is standing around swinging his Beach Boy trying to catch Ghiaccio,
he gets frozen over.
He also completely invalidates Prosciutto.
Everyone can obviously get frozen over, but Prosciutto gets destroyed since his stand
ability banks off of you getting hotter basically.
[Risotto Nero] And lastly, the strongest member of La Squadra,
Risotto Nero.
His stand Metallica gives him the ability to manipulate iron with magnetism.
It’s so strong and potent, he’s able to use the iron from blood to create metal objects
from within a person’s body.
That’s ridiculously strong.
Now, originally I was a bit skeptical on where him and Ghiaccio would be, but because of
chemistry class I remember that magnetism can be affected by temperature.
The hotter it is, the weaker it gets.
So, the colder it is, the stronger the magnetism gets.
Imagine Ghiaccio’s situation.
First, Metallica doesn’t have to worry about getting inside of his ice armor because his
attack is an aoe attack, second, Ghiaccio now has a disadvantage state for using his
own ability, and third, imagine his positon inside of the ice armor.
He’d basically drown himself with all that blood, or in a realistic approach it would
most likely affect his vision in almost the same way that Mista had used his blood to
obstruct Ghiaccio’s vision.
Except that it’s Risotto doing it from the inside using Ghiaccio’s own blood.
[Conclusion] Now before closing this out, match-up obviously
do vary when it comes to the right conditions, and some with the normal conditions we have
here are actually a lot more elaborate than what I had shown.
Like for example, I don’t think that Pesci Vs. Risotto is as much of a wash as it would
seem and think there’s a lot that be gone over in that, it’s just that this video
doesn’t call for all of that.
I’ll probably have a lot more room to go about stuff like that when Part 5 is over
because I have a lot of videos I have lined up, but working in some versus stuff in the
mix wouldn’t be that hard, hopefully.
Thank you all
for watching.
