Bruno Bucciarati (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) from Part 5. Why him over Giorno? Because, having Witch Time Punches doesn’t sound fun, and Bruno is just as much of a Main Character as Giorno in Part 5, on top of him potentially being able to bring in the rest of his gang in to help him. So he can also use Sticky Fingers to give him more range than everyone except Aang. So if I had to compare him to anyone it would be Ginyu in FighterZ. Thus why I feel Bruno is best for JoJo’s Second Fighter. As for his actual kit:
Capo of The Ring! Bruno is a Zoner, plain and Simple!

Bruno’s Neutral Special is Zipper Punch. He extends his Stand’s Arm to punch! Simple, but it has a massive disjoint, which helps a lot in terms of achieving his goal of being the Capo.
Bruno’s Side Special calls out Narancia to use Aerosmith. Narancia is summoned and uses Aerosmith to fire. It lasts for 10 Seconds total and makes the opponent think twice about going to that part of the Stage.
Bruno’s Up Special has him use Sticky Fingers to Teleport in one of four directions, doing Dana when he runs back out. It does put him into Freefall though so be careful. This is a good move to retreat with.
Bruno’s Down Special has Giorno show up and Punch the Ground. This will create a Tree that acts as a Wall. This, in turn, gives Bruno a good defense mechanism against Counter Zoning, and a good tool in Neutral held back by the long Startup.
Bruno’s Final Smash is Inutile Arrivederci! He does a Zipper Punch, and if it lands Giorno will pop up and help Bruno finish the opponent off, which will then have a Witch Time effect due to Giorno’s Ability. Thus giving Bruno ample time to strategize.
Bruno overall is a really good character at setplay and keep away, which fits how most fights in JoJo’s as a whole. He also has some really good range at large, with his Normals using Sticky Fingers, his Grab completely destroying all approach options, as well as Narancia and Giorno stepping in to help. Overall, this fits Bruno, and JOJO Combat as a whole. But he is also fairly skinny, and thus would make sense if he was light. Probably lightest overall of this 11 Character Roster. His Alts could be various color schemes, as JoJo’s is known for its varied use of coloring (something I adore) and I feel Bruno is the perfect fit for a JoJo Newcomer!
His Stand is harder to nail down than Jotaro’s but I think giving him Gold Experience would be fitting, since Giorno is this Part’s other Protagonist. And as for Favorite Foods……. wow we’re really out of date aren’t we? Well, Aang would get the Fruit Pies (the Cabbages from the Cabbage Merchant would just be generic, or could just spawn with the Merchant), Panty and Stocking are really hard since both have really different tastes in Food. So I guess Jean-Paul Heaven could do, but if there’s any other better options that also work while keeping an E10 Rating please let me know. And then finally, Bruno himself! Bruno gets Spaghetti, since that’s what he got at the Restaurant during Narancia’s Flashback.
