Oh god. A Stand user that can attack your mind by amplifying anxieties and neurosis. That sounds like a bitch to deal with. Have we been told yet that Stands are tied to life force, yet? Cause that would influence my suggestion.

It's come up once or twice, namely in New Divide taking superficial damage leaving bruises on Shooting Star. It hasn't been directly stated "it's tied to life force", but given how intelligent he's acted so far, I'd say it's a good assumption to make.
9547709
Alright then.
My suggestion: All we know about this guy so far is that his Stand is capable of amplifying anxieties and neurosis, practically crippling the target from a combat perspective. It would be best to err on the side of caution, and assume that the Stand probably amplifies the target(s) worst mental flaw. Given how little we actually know about what both the stallion and his Stand are capable of, we should begin the fight by playing it safe and keeping our distance, feeling out our opponent's personality and abilities.
We would most likely have noticed that when New Divide received damage earlier we also received some form of damage. From this, we'd conclude that Stands are somehow tied to their user's life. Following that train of thought, if we find ourselves unable to simply incapacitate the mad stallion, we may have to resort to killing him, and should make piece with that idea now.
This guy just screams insanity. Look at his Stand for Pete's sake. And it seems his range has a longer distance than yours since he effected you and Canny before you even saw him. Aside from the mental attacks though, you don't know what else his Stand can do, so you have to be cautious and test the waters.
Fold one of the chocolate milk spewing cotton candy clouds directly around him, and while he's distracted, fold Canny out of range.
"Keep Back! He's Dangerous!" you warn her as his Stand seemingly inhales the cloud.
Send forth some bottle rockets at him to see what his Stand does to projectiles and how fast it attacks. Use as much misdirection as you can, the world around you is already crazy so use that to your advantage.
Fold the ballerina buffalo stampede directly behind him, and when they overwhelm him, fold yourself into the fray and have New Divide take a few shots at him and his Stand.
Well since Canny isn't a Stand User, she has no idea what is going on. As your Stands do damage to one another, all she sees is the two of you getting injuries seemingly from out of nowhere.
"Wh-What is going on?" she mutters in amazement as she watches the spectacle.
You get cocky at one point, and his Stand is able to grab New Divide with it's Straight Jacket straps, and suddenly your mind is once more filled with insane thoughts.
"There is Beauty in the chaos. There is fairness. There is peace." The thing makes you say, and in some way believe.
"SHOOTING STAR!" Canny calls out to you, but you're still being assaulted.
"Just Let Go...Let Chaos Reign. Let!"
"AAAAHHHH!!!" The Patient cries out as a gear sticks out of his leg.
His concentration elsewhere, New Divide is able to pull the strap off it's head and folds closer to you, where your thoughts once more unfaze.
"Yeah, how'd you like the taste of that psycho?!"
You look back and see that Canny is holding her hat like a canon, and right after she boasts that, another gear is launched at high speeds towards The Patient...and another, and another.
The Patient dodges as his Stand blocks the rest and Canny has a look of determination on her face.
"You made a hat that launches gears? Why?" you ask flabbergasted.
"For protection obviously!" she shouts in frustration as no more gears seem to effect the Patient.
With a volley of gears, you use this distraction to go back on the offensive.
And at some point in the fight, Canny gets hit with a Stand Arrow. Whether it's from yours in some sort of accident, or Discord being a jerk and sniping her, she needs to be able to see Stands in the future if she's going to help you more effectively. She's definitely worthy and strong enough.
9548158
Yeah...pretty sure this part can't happen. We gave our arrow to Celestia and Luna, and Discord wouldn't have been able to resist showing his own off when we first met him.
9548260
Maybe she unlocks a natural stand then. The arrow isn’t the only source of Stands after all.

Or unless Discord takes it from them, and that would make Shooting Star feel guilty since he thought it would be safe, and instead it got Canny shot and almost killed.

I can see her being a Hamon/Spin User later on, or she could make technology that would help her fight any Sutando Tsukai.
So first off, if Canny is going to be a proper Speedwagon stand in (ha!), she must obviously narrate everything that is happening to the audience, as well as state the obvious as well. The audience can either be an actual audience Discord conjured up (cause lets be honest, he would do that) or it could be to us. Either or really.
So far the fight has been pretty one-sided...in that you can't freaking hit the buck, or even close for that matter, without having to dodge his Stand. Which from what you've seen (and felt) is stronger the closer you are to the user. Which is just perfect for you, since while he can hit you with his mental attacks, you can't get close without suffering from his Stand.
Thankfully you've managed to dodge the Stand's straight jacket swipes using both New Divide and your flaying, and you've managed to get a few pot shots via your bottle rockets and Canny's hat gears, but his Stand is getting better at blocking the projectiles. And to make everything even better, the Stand User is one of the worst type of evil minion clichés. He's a-
"You fail to understand Lord Discords true brilliance! His chaos shall bring about a new world of utopia for us all! Why can't you just see that and submit to CHAOS!"
-crazy obsessed monologuing follower type. In other words, the guy's been yapping his mouth off about the 'glory of Lord Discord' for the entire fight, and its starting to get on your nerves.
You dodge yet another one of the User's Stand attack via New Divide before you question him in frustration just why he's so crazy for Discord. The User's attacks momentarily stop as he blankly looks at you.
"Why...why you ask!? You dare to question my faith in Lord Discord!? He has given me purpose! I was just another one of Celestia's hidden failures, and I had lost hope of ever seeing my dreams through!"
Another one of Celestia's hidden failures? The buck...
"But then he was freed! And he gave me this power, and allowed me to make my dream reality! I shall show that old tart how Chaos is the true superior magic once and for all!"
He seems to pose once again in a victory pose, which is twisted with the deranged smile and cackle he gives. You glare confusingly at the pony as you ask,
"So your dream is to spread Chaos like Discord?"
"NO YOU FOOL!"
Before you even realize it the User's Stand manages to grab you in its straight jacket. You are pulled up to the crazed ponies face as you feel him squeezing you.
"My dream is far more pure then simply spreading chaos! My dream is to prove that Harmony is nothing but a mindless, predictable and pathetic magic that has stunted our civilization for far to long! Chaos is the true beauty of magic, and with it the world shall enter a new era of UTTER BEAUTY!"
This guy...he's out of his mind! I don't think he's under Discord's influence either, he's just full blown nuts!
Besides the utter pain you feel as your being squeeze, you manage to voice your thoughts,
"Your...insane..."
The crazed User's mirth seems to leave him as he give you a annoyed eye roll.
"Of course you wouldn't understand, your blind to the beauty of chaos. But your soon change your tune, ohohoh you all will change your tunes soon enough! 「CHAOS LIVES」!"
And like that your world goes blank, and you find yourself surrounded by the voices of past failures once again. But with how close you are to the User, the voices are drilling into your skull.
And end scene! I have a idea for the ending of the fight, but its a bit too soon for that. Gotta have at least two eps pure fight like a true JoJo ep (aside from finales of course).
As for favorite JoBro? Have to go with Okuyasu, cause having a super powerful Stand given to a complete moron is funny as hell. Plus he stuck by Josuke through thick and thin, and helped stop you know who in the end. Plus, Zu Hando just sounds awesome!
earlier with the fight with Luna you had a moment of anger that pushed you to fight harder, maybe you can find a way to use this guys stands ability against him by (ether by sheer willpower or by tricking him into it) making it push out that anger again but this time it's pointed at him, it be risky even to attempt, but if it works it could pay off big time

Are we allowed to just drop plot hooks like that?

Well, since this seems like a bit of a...what's the word for "thing to figure out before next chapter"...kerfuffle?
I'll go ahead and say that both the original post and the responses have given me good ideas on how to handle this part of the comment on my end.
9550744
Of course! Just be aware they'll be under a bit more scrutiny because a whole plotline is something I do need to fit into the larger narrative instead of a more chapter-by-chapter basis, and like with technically all comments, I'm fully allowed to veto.
But yes, you are indeed allowed to add in a plot hook here and there. Just not so many at once so as to bog down the whole story. :)
Ay yo idea:beat this man ass with the knife. Give it to new divide
Lure the patients stand as far away from him as possible and close a fold around him using our offensive technique, trapping it in place. Hopefully allowing us to get close to the patient without suffering from his mental attacks, or dealing damage directly on the stand itself.
