Introduction

This article is about Enrico Pucci's evolved incarnation, primarily known as "Final Pucci". For information about his base incarnation, see Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake).

In order to accomplish the long-dead DIO's plan to "achieve Heaven", Enrico Pucci, the main antagonist of Stone Ocean, the sixth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, seeks to merge with the Green Baby created from DIO's bone in order to evolve his Stand. True to his designs, Pucci must invest time and patience throughout the match, but is rewarded with new forms that alter his moveset in various ways.

At the beginning of the match, Pucci has access to Whitesnake, his initial Stand. With it, Pucci has the ability to seal the opponent’s special moves by comboing into his HHA, or through his "It's mine!" command grab. Once he has done this, Pucci can make use of his "I order you!" projectile while in Stand Off; the projectile sends opponents backwards on air hit, granting Pucci some breathing space. Alternatively, he can make use of "You shall be crucified!" as a combo extender and ender, granting Pucci a hard knockdown in the latter case; this works in his favor more than other characters, as he can spend any hard knockdown chanting the "14 Words", the key to his evolution.

Once all the words have been chanted, Pucci will gain access to his evolved Stand: C-MOON. In Stand Off, C-MOON grants Pucci access to new Heavy normals, as well as a new special move in "Be gone!"; this new move grants Pucci an effective anti-air option as well as a hard knockdown, making it a reliable combo ender. In Stand On, Pucci gains a completely new moveset that, while sacrificing the ability to seal special moves, opens the way for massive damage, which is partly the result of C-MOON's ability to cause a DOT effect; said effect is applied through its Unblockable special moves, which Pucci can utilize in conjunction with Stand Rush to ensure he can open up his opponent. Pucci also gains a counter in the form of "My body is the basis!", which launches the opponent away on activation.

The final step of the plan requires Pucci to successfully use his GHA, only available through C-MOON. Once this is done, Pucci acquires his final Stand: Made in Heaven. For the rest of the round, Pucci gains several enhancements, such as becoming much faster than his opponent. He also gains access to an extremely fast-yet-safe approach option in "Here it comes!", a deadly mixup game with his deceptive "Where is he?!" teleport, and an air projectile that doubles as a mix-up tool in "The knives!", which allows him access to very ambiguous overheads and cross-ups to overwhelm their defense.

However, all of this is offset by major drawbacks. In general, Pucci is very momentum-focused: evolving his Stand (whether by chanting the "14 Words" or using his GHA) eats up not only meter that could be used for combos, but also time that could be used for okizeme; this is particularly troubling for Pucci, as he must bide his time and options to obtain as much of an advantage over the opponent as possible. While boosted by the ability to seal the opponent's special moves, Whitesnake's kit is very limited (particularly while in Stand On), as it lacks serviceable mixup options and doesn't have many combo extenders, severely limiting Pucci's damage output. C-MOON can help Pucci make a major comeback with its improved damage and toolset, but evolving the Stand in the first place is not an easy task, and comes with mostly reduced range on its normals. For its part, Made in Heaven's strong offense and mixups are offset by its low damage output and limited nature, only being available once per match.

• The Green Baby Gauge: Pucci is able to evolve his Stand during battle, gaining access to new moves and abilites.
• DISCs: With Whitesnake, Pucci has the ability to seal certain actions for the opponent, limiting their options against him.
• Turn you inside-out!: With C-MOON, Pucci has access to multiple attacks the opponent cannot block, which will also cause them to lose health over time.
• Made in Heaven Mode: With Made in Heaven, Pucci can gain several advantages such as faster attacks and movement accelerated to extreme levels, granting him access to a strong win condition.

Playstyle

Enrico Pucci (Final) is a Stand character who invests time and resources to evolve as the battle progresses.
Pros	Cons
Move Sealing: By comboing into his HHA, Pucci can limit the opponent's answers against him, leaving them at a severe disadvantage. Snowball: With strong momentum, Pucci can evolve his Stand into C-MOON, granting him access to stronger tools, high damage and the potential to trigger Made in Heaven. Good Normals: Pucci has an array of good normals at his disposal in all forms, which can be good for poking, jump-ins, air-to-airs, etc. Made in Heaven: By successfully using his GHA, Pucci's Stand further evolves into Made in Heaven, which turns him into an absolute force to be reckoned with.	Limited Moveset: Pucci always starts matches with Whitesnake, which features a limited toolkit. Meter Hungry: Evolving Pucci's Stand into C-MOON with "14 Words" requires notable meter investment, and both C-MOON and Made in Heaven always require meter investment if they want any kind of damage. Learning Curve: Due to his multiple Stands and the ways each one change his moveset, Pucci has a significantly higher learning curve than most characters. Low Damage: Whitesnake and Made in Heaven both have relatively low damage outputs. While the latter can get around it by spending meter, Whitesnake will not yield amazing damage even with max meter investment. Allergic to Zoning: Characters that boast good projectiles or have measures against zoning will give Pucci a hard time in neutral, as using his "I order you!" projectile becomes a lot harder.

The Green Baby Gauge

Only available with Whitesnake at Pucci's disposal, the Green Baby Gauge manifests as 14 diamonds displayed above his Heart Heat Gauge. Any successful use of "14 Words" will fill at least one diamond (which turns from light grey to purple), with Pucci being able to hold the move to fill more (albeit at a slow pace). Any diamonds already filled will carry over between rounds, and successfully filling all 14 will cause Whitesnake to evolve, turning it into C-MOON.

While the evolution is normally irreversible, C-MOON will revert to Whitesnake if Pucci is hit by Kosaku's GHA. The Green Baby Gauge will also be emptied, requiring him to fill it again in order to evolve once more.

DISCs

Only available with Whitesnake at Pucci's disposal, Pucci has the ability to take a DISC from the opponent by hitting them with "It's mine!" or "So it was already done...". When the DISC is stolen, the opponent loses the ability to use any command normals, special moves or Style actions (except for Stand On/Off and Mounting). Should they attempt to use something they've been sealed out of, they are briefly staggered, even while airborne.

After a DISC is taken, the effects will stay in place until the round ends, or until the opponent recovers the DISC. If Pucci blocks or gets hit by an attack (including Throws and non-damaging attacks such as Reversal Assists), the DISC will be dropped in front of him (usually ending up behind the opponent due to proximity). A dropped DISC can be picked up by crouching on top of it, being concealed once more if Pucci himself picks it up. If Pucci lands a DISC-stealing move while there's a DISC somewhere on the ground, the DISC will disappear from the ground until Pucci is forced to drop again.

Turn you inside-out!

Only available with C-MOON at Pucci's disposal, this is a status effect that is inflicted when any of C-MOON's Unblockable special moves hit the opponent. On hit, the opponent is affected by C-MOON's gravity-altering effects and will become Inverted, making them slowly lose health over time. The effect normally lasts 6 seconds (dealing roughly 97.5 damage if it runs its course) and will not go away if Pucci is hit; however, if a second Unblockable attack connects while the effect is active, it will be canceled. While active, the opponent's torso visually has blood continuously spewing out.

Made in Heaven Mode

• 

  The stage in which Made in Heaven Mode takes place.

After evolving his Stand into C-MOON and successfully using his GHA, Pucci's Stand further evolves into Made in Heaven; from this point, the round will take place in a unique, unselectable stage. While Made in Heaven is active, Pucci gains access to a new moveset, moves at almost triple his speed, his attacks become faster, gains the Aerial Chain Beat ability (allowing him to chain his aerial attacks), and his run and backdash gain the unique advantages of becoming invisible (though his hurtbox will still remain) and being able to pass through the opponent. However, Pucci's accelerated speed will return to normal upon getting hit, allowing him to be properly combo'd.

Made in Heaven Mode can only be successfully activated once per match, becoming permanently unavailable afterwards. After the round ends, Pucci begins the next round with C-MOON, his Heart Heat Gauge is emptied, and the stage will return to its original form. Additionally, if Pucci is hit by Kosaku's GHA with Made in Heaven active, Pucci's Stand will revert all the way back to Whitesnake, with the Green Baby Gauge being drained; while it is still possible to evolve into C-MOON again, Made in Heaven will remain lost due to its once-per-match rule.

Moves Pucci forward. While safe on block, it cannot be chained into without leaving a gap. Occasionally whiffs in max range confirms - in these situations, going straight into 3H from 5M is preferred. C-MOON Pucci summons C-MOON, who attacks with an upward punch. Moves Pucci forward. The second hit launches. Made in Heaven Pucci summons Made in Heaven, who slashes twice. Moves Pucci forward. The second hit launches.

2M

2M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 20 Low 6 - - -2 +2 Pucci swipes his arm inwards. A good stagger move in pressure. Like 2L, this move is also a very fast and large low that routes into 3H for max range confirms.

Can be combo'd into from Pucci's very long Medium normals for confirms at ranges where 5H > 3H will whiff.

JL

j.L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 18 Overhead 6 - - - - Pucci jabs in front. Low hitstun and blockstun, bad hitbox and a bad jump arc means that Pucci probably won't land before the opponent on flipout. Don't use.

Causes a groundbounce on hit, leading to a full combo after 3H. Great jump-in, but can be a bit predictable. Mixing this up with empty jumps works to improve Pucci's approach. C-MOON Pucci summons C-MOON, who attacks with a downward punch. Tiny, but very active. j.M is usually the better choice for jumping in.

Special Moves

236X

I order you! 236L/M/H An okay projectile in the same game as Emerald Splash An okay projectile in the same game as Emerald Splash

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. Light 40 Mid 10 - - -14 -8 Medium 40 Mid 12 - - -14 -8 Heavy 40 Mid 14 - - -14 -8 Pucci spins around and flings a DISC straight forward as a projectile. The only special move present across all of Pucci's evolutions. The DISC's speed varies depending on the version used. Launches opponents very far backwards on air hit, especially if they're already in hitstun. While a decent projectile on its own, its effectiveness is heavily matchup-dependent: it shines the most when the opponent is deprived of their DISC, and can be useful against characters who lack projectiles or have one with low priority (such as Kosaku's "Contact Bomb"). Conversely, it will lose heavily against multi-hit projectiles (most notably Kakyoin's "Emerald Splash" and Risotto's "You can find iron anywhere in this world."), making any zoner matchup an uphill struggle in neutral as Pucci is essentially denied of his main neutral tool. L version: Has the slowest travel speed. M version: Has an average travel speed. H version: Has the fastest travel speed.

WS 214X

You shall be crucified! 214L/M/H with Whitesnake Domine quo vadis? Domine quo vadis?

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. Light 32 Overhead 26 - - -12 Groundbounce Medium 87 (37, 50) Overhead 30 - - -22 KD Heavy 92 (42, 50) Overhead 32 - - -14 KD Pucci summons Whitesnake, who delivers a downward chop while moving forward. The version used determines Whitesnake's behavior. Pucci's only standing Overhead, yet unviable for mix-ups due to its slow startup always leaving a large gap when used in a blockstring. L version: Hits once. Causes a groundbounce on hit. Vital combo tool. M version: Adds a second chop if the first one hits. The first hit causes a groundbounce, while the second launches the opponent towards the floor, leading to a soft knockdown. Only the second hit can be canceled into HHA, although it will not connect. Not worth starting a combo with it, which can only be done with Assists. The least useful variant, as it lacks the combo versatility of the L version while also lacking the OTG property of the H version. H version: Adds a second chop if the first one hits. The first hit causes a groundbounce, while the second launches the opponent towards the floor, leading to a soft knockdown. Only the second hit can be canceled into HHA, although it will not connect. Not worth starting a combo with it, which can only be done with Assists. The only version that can hit OTG, which is its main use. Can be used to OTG even after a Throw.

CM 214X

Light 66 (22*3) Mid 20 - - -24 HKD Medium 66 (22*3) Mid 20 - - -24 HKD Heavy 66 (22*3) Mid 20 - - -24 HKD Pucci summons C-MOON to strike the ground, causing three pieces of debris to be sent upwards in different directions. The distance C-MOON leaps changes with the version used. Launches on hit and causes a hard knockdown. Coupled with "I order you!", it can be an effective zoning tool, dealing with opponents trying to jump over the DISCs. L version: C-MOON stays next to Pucci. M version: C-MOON moves forward further. H version: C-MOON moves forward the furthest.

WS 22H

14 Words 22H with Whitesnake The Key to the Kingdom The Key to the Kingdom "Now I can enter your world, DIO!" "Now I can enter your world, DIO!"

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. - - - - Total 44 - - Pucci pulls out the Green Baby and begins speaking to it. Requires 0.1 HH Gauge to be used. Pucci can hold the button to chant more words; holding has no additional HH Gauge cost. Whitesnake evolves into C-MOON if all 14 Words are successfully chanted. If Pucci's default costume is used, his appearance will change as well. Rapidly chanting and then putting the Green Baby away is a fast (if meter-intensive) way to progress through the 14 Words.

CM 22H

My body is the basis! 22H with C-MOON

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 90 - - - - - HKD Pucci summons C-MOON, with both posing and bracing themselves for attack. If struck by the opponent, C-MOON shifts gravity to blast the opponent away. Does not work against projectiles, Throws, HHAs, or GHAs. Causes knockback and triggers a wallbounce on a successful activation. Can be canceled into GHA on a successful activation, making it a valid GHA setup if Pucci isn't close to the wall.

Whitesnake

Normal Moves

WS 5L

s.5L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 13 Mid 4 - - -2 +2 Whitesnake performs a quick, underhanded chop. Big hitbox, and the fastest of Whitesnake's Stand On normals by far.

WS 5M

s.5M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 21 Mid 12 - - -4 0 Whitesnake attacks with a downward punch. A decent poke. Very slow in the context of other standing normals, but has nice reach to make up for it.

WS 5H

s.5H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 42 Mid 16 - - -4 +2 Whitesnake attacks with a violent sideways chop. Moves Pucci forward, advancing further than the Stand Off version. While safe on block, it cannot be chained into without leaving a gap.

WS 2L

s.2L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 12 Low 6 - - -4 0 Whitesnake attacks with a quick horizontal chop. The only comboable Low at Whitesnake's disposal.

WS 2M

s.2M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 26 Mid 6 - - -8 -4 Whitesnake performs an uppercut. Good for anti-airs. Used in optimal juggle routes frequently.

WS 2H

s.2H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 32 Low 12 - - -8 HKD Whitesnake attacks with a sweeping kick. Causes hard knockdown. Pretty much the same as its Stand Off counterpart, but with longer range (though slightly shorter than s.5H).

WS 3H

s.3H Die!	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 30 (5*4, 10) Mid 16 - - -8 Crumple Whitesnake lashes out in a 5-hit punch combo. The final hit causes a crumple and is special-cancelable on whiff. Has long range at the end of the attack, but takes very long to reach that point. It's very unsafe as a poke because of this.

WS JL

s.jL	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 18 Overhead 6 - - - - Whitesnake jabs in front. Not particularly useful due to hitting so high.

WS JM

s.jM	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 24 Overhead 8 - - - KD Whitesnake kicks forward. Launches on hit. Great move for air-to-air, as it's a rare launcher aerial that can be combo'd out of on air hit. Deceptively large hitbox, and very scary as an approach tool.

WS JH

s.jH	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 38 Overhead 8 - - - - Whitesnake attacks with a quick vertical chop. Nearly identical in animation to the Stand Off version, but has less range and does not cause a groundbounce.

Special Moves

WS Stand 22X

It's an illusion. s.22L/M/H

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 40 - 4 - - - Crumple Whitesnake poses as Pucci raises his arms. If struck by the opponent, Whitesnake stuns them as the two fade away. Move performance is identical across all versions. Switches sides and causes a crumple on a successful activation. Does not work against projectiles, Throws, HHAs, GHAs or Assists. Each character has a unique animation for falling victim to this attack.

WS Stand 63214X

It's mine! s.63214L/M/H

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. Light 45 (20, 25) Throw 16 - - - HKD Medium 45 (20, 25) Throw 22 - - - HKD Heavy 45 (20, 25) Throw 28 - - - HKD Whitesnake swings its arm forward with a chop. If it connects, the Stand will rip out a DISC from the opponent while throwing them to the ground. The move's range changes depending on the version used, inversely affecting speed. Causes hard knockdown on a successful Throw. A very fast command grab across all versions. Pucci doesn't have many threats to stop the opponent from up-backing against the grab, however, apart from very tight stagger pressure and dash-jump j.M. If this move connects, Whitesnake steals the DISC from the opponent. Generally outclassed by HHA in this regard, but can still prove useful from time to time due to being meterless. Cannot be used to retrieve DISCs stolen by Pucci (WS)'s HHA and GHA. In fact, attempting to do so can lead to a state where Pucci is considered to have recovered his DISC without actually having done so, preventing him from recovering it until another DISC is stolen. L version: The fastest version with the shortest range. Essentially unreactable. M version: Balanced speed and range. H version: The slowest version with the longest range.

C-MOON

Normal Moves

CM 5L

s.5L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 13 Mid 4 - - -2 +2 C-MOON jabs in front. Surprisingly good range for its animation.

CM 5M

s.5M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 21 Mid 12 - - -4 0 C-MOON performs a hook. Very similar to Whitesnake's Stand On 5M, although with somewhat less range as C-MOON doesn't lean as far forward.

CM 5H

s.5H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 50 (16, 34) Mid 12(3)1 - - -10 KD C-MOON attacks with an upwards punch. Moves Pucci forward, advancing further than the Stand Off version. Launches on hit. Good for adjusting awkward hit confirms mid-route (air-to-airs, etc.) as the second hit will pop the opponent back up.

CM 2L

s.2L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 12 Low 6 - - -4 0 C-MOON punches downwards. Very stubby Low, but rewarding on hit and useful for point-blank stagger pressure.

CM 2M

s.2M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 20 Mid 10 - - -4 0 C-MOON performs an uppercut. Fulfills the same purposes as Whitesnake's s2M. Bad poke, but great vertical hitbox and useful for anti-airs and juggles.

CM 2H

s.2H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 34 Low 12 - - -8 HKD C-MOON attacks with a low kick. Causes hard knockdown. Pretty much the same as its Stand Off counterpart, but with longer range.

CM 3H

s.3H Die!	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 30 (5*4, 10) Mid 16 - - -8 Crumple C-MOON lashes out in a 5-hit punch combo. The final hit causes a crumple and is special-cancelable on whiff. Cannot be canceled into "My body is the basis!". Much like Whitesnake's version, the attack covers a lot of range but takes too long to do so, making it a very unsafe poke.

CM JL

s.jL	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 16 Overhead 8 - - - - C-MOON punches in front. Very small. Might be useful for tick throws but doesn't serve much purpose otherwise.

CM JM

s.jM

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 24 Overhead 8 - - - KD C-MOON attacks with an uppercut. Launches on hit. Hitbox is positioned in such a way that it barely hits grounded opponents, aside from fringe examples (Stand On characters, tall characters such as Wamuu, etc.). Extremely effective air-to-air, however, as it covers almost the entire space in front of and above Pucci, and is extremely rewarding on hit.

CM JH

s.jH	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 40 Overhead 6 - - - - C-MOON attacks with a downward punch. Also a bit stubby, but extremely fast and rewarding.

If struck by the opponent, C-MOON shifts gravity to blast the opponent away. Does not work against projectiles, Throws, HHAs, GHAs, or Assists. Causes knockback and triggers a wallbounce on a successful activation. Can be canceled into GHA on a successful activation, making it a valid GHA setup if Pucci isn't close to the wall.

Made in Heaven

Normal Moves

MIH 5L

s.5L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 13 Mid 2 - - -2 +2 Made in Heaven jabs in front. Very small. Not that good of a blockstring tool - 2L/5M is preferred as a combo starter in most situations.

MIH 5M

s.5M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 21 Mid 6 - - -2 +2 Made in Heaven attacks with a downward punch. Similar to Pucci's two other Stand On 5Ms, but slightly shorter.

MIH 2H

s.2H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 34 Low 8 - - -6 HKD Made in Heaven swipes its arm outwards. Launches on hit and causes a hard knockdown. Launches higher than its Stand Off counterpart, so it can be used in juggles to pop the opponent up.

The distance MiH moves changes with the version used. Launches on hit and causes a hard knockdown. All versions cause a decent chunk of Guard Damage, and its pushback on block makes it very difficult for some characters to punish despite being minus on block. Overall, a fantastic move to throw out in neutral every now and then due to its huge reach and staggering speed. L version: Moves only slightly forwards. Has the least amount of pushback on block. M version: Moves forward a decent amount. H version: Moves the most, speeding across the screen at almost fullscreen distance. Has the most amount of pushback on block.

Throw

Throw Weep at your own weakness! 5/4 + Any Two Attack Buttons

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 110 (90, 20) Throw 6 3 - - HKD Pucci lifts the opponent up by their face with one hand, before hitting them in the face with his knee and throwing them to the ground. Forward Throw leaves the opponent further from Pucci than Back Throw. Regardless of the version used, Pucci's Throws slightly rotate the axis. With Whitesnake, Pucci can OTG after the Throw with 214H, getting a little extra damage at the cost of giving up pressure on wakeup.

Heart Heat Attack

So it was already done... 236 + Any Two Attack Buttons with Whitesnake

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 144 (24+48+72) Mid 2+8 - - -56 HKD Pucci and Whitesnake fly forward a moderate distance in a melee tackle. On hit, Whitesnake rapidly swipes its hand across the opponent's face, ejecting a DISC from their head, which it quickly snatches before kicking them away. Steals the DISC from the opponent. A great HHA in general: advances very far forward, has a very tall hitbox, will never miss in combos and the opponent will usually be unable to jump above it. Pucci has invincibliity during this move, allowing it to get past Reversal Assists. This is especially important for Pucci because getting hit by such will make him drop the DISC. Landing this move will automatically recover a stolen DISC, even if an opposing Pucci (Final) is concealing it. Against Pucci (WS), it can be used to recover a DISC if it was stolen via his version of "It's mine!".

Great Heat Attack

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 5 Mid 2+4 - - - HKD Pucci, using C-MOON's gravity-altering ability, attempts to float with his Stand while holding onto debris. If left uninterrupted for a few seconds, Pucci's Stand evolves into Made in Heaven, with both the Stand and its User prepared to finish the battle. Can only be successfully activated once per match, with subsequent rounds disabling the move altogether. C-MOON evolves into Made in Heaven if the move is successful. Upon evolving, Pucci's moveset changes once more, and Made in Heaven Mode is triggered. Has an initial hitbox with some invincibility during startup, which launches on hit and causes hard knockdown, but cannot kill the opponent. The hitbox carries the same priority as a Heavy normal, meaning it can trigger non-HHA/GHA Counters.
