• Release!: Anasui has access to a trap that can be used in combos or setplay with every version being able to be enhanced

Playstyle

Narciso Anasui is a mid-range Stand character who utilizes his range for strike/throw pressure.
Pros	Cons
Great Normal Range: Anasui has access to a variety of options that reach very far as pokes, counter-pokes, or just general long-range confirms Scary Strike/Throw: Anasui has access to a command grab in both Stand Off and On, allowing him to create scary pressure situations for the opponent Setplay: Anasui can set up a trap for 0.5 HH Gauge that launches the opponent into the air while damaging them, allowing to have scary setplay alongside his command grabs, which can be used for oki as well Self Sufficient: Anasui can easily do 300+ damage and get hard knockdown while looping oki situations and building back meter spent, allowing him to be self-sufficient with everything he does	Stubby Stand Off: Anasui's range is very short in comparison to his stand's great range, making his Stand Off less effective in neutral Weak Defense: Anasui does not have access to any meterless reversals and his HHA and GHA have limited invulnerability, forcing Anasui to use universal mechanics to get out of pressure Lack of Flash Cancels: Anasui does not have access to flash cancel on many of his moves, making many of his options very commital

Heart Heat Attack

Give me your blessing! 236 + Any Two Attack Buttons	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 5*6, 20, 6*20, 36 Mid - - - - - Diver Down punches the ground several times and then releases the store energy at the opponent Can be held down to delay the release but offers no real benefit for doing so. Due to its poor scaling, its mostly outclassed by 623H as an ender in longer juggles.

Great Heat Attack

Diving in 236L+M+H Unlike Sheer Heart Attack, it has many weaknesses Unlike Sheer Heart Attack, it has many weaknesses

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. - Mid - - - - - Diver Down tracks the opponent and enters their body to destroy them from the inside out. Too slow to confirm off of grounded attacks but ends juggle combos well if you are certain to kill. Aside from initial invul when diving into the ground, both Anasui and Diver Down are completely vulnerable before the move actually connects. Making it a poor choice for punishing any projectiles.
