* '''Move Sealing:''' Although he can't combo into any DISC steal except for "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Heart Heat Attack|So it was already done...]]", managing to land any of these moves limits the opponent's answers against Pucci, leaving them at a severe disadvantage.
* '''Move Sealing:''' Although he can't combo into any DISC steal except for "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Heart Heat Attack|So it was already done...]]", managing to land any of these moves limits the opponent's answers against Pucci, leaving them at a severe disadvantage.
* '''Strong Neutral:''' Pucci is not particularly helpless at any range, with moves such as [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#5M|5M]], [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#JH|j.H]], and [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Stand JH|s.jM]] acting as strong pokes and approach options, respectively. From afar, "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#236X|I order you!]]" is a fullscreen projectile with varying speeds that can singlehandedly force opponents to respect Pucci's presence.
* '''Rewarding Command Grabs:''' Pucci has 2 command grabs (across modes), both of which lead into great reward: "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#623X|A Stand power]] [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Stand 623X|that can boil water...]]" leads into a combo, while "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Stand 63214X|It's mine!]]" seals the opponent's special moves. This forces the opponent to guess after nearly every blocked hit, as the reward Pucci gets from them cannot be ignored.
* '''Rewarding Command Grabs:''' Pucci has 2 command grabs (across modes), both of which lead into great reward: "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#623X|A Stand power]] [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Stand 623X|that can boil water...]]" leads into a combo, while "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Stand 63214X|It's mine!]]" seals the opponent's special moves. This forces the opponent to guess after nearly every blocked hit, as the reward Pucci gets from them cannot be ignored.
* '''Air-to-Air:''' Stand On j.M can lead into combos if it hits an airborne opponent, which is a rare property for air normals.
* '''Projectile:''' Although only available in Stand Off, "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#236X|I order you!]]" is Pucci's only safe on block special move, as well as a fullscreen projectile with varying speeds that singlehandedly makes his Stand Off long range neutral powerful.

* '''Zoning Woes:''' Pucci struggles against zoning characters due to his slow movement speed and the low priority of his projectile.
* '''Zoning Woes:''' Pucci struggles against characters who can get past his projectile. In addition, zoning characters who can exploit its low priority can force Pucci to approach, which can be a difficult task due to his relatively slow movement speed and predictable options.
* '''Risky Pressure:''' Pucci has very few ways to get guaranteed, consistent pressure due to how many gaps there are in his moves. Additionally, while in Stand On, all of Pucci's special moves (and his s.3H) are very unsafe on block.
* '''Risky Pressure:''' Pucci has very few ways to get guaranteed, consistent pressure due to the many gaps present in his moveset. Additionally, while in Stand On, most of Pucci's options are very unsafe on block, and those that aren't (such as [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Stand 3H|s.3H]] and "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Stand 214X|You shall be crucified!]]") force him to end his turn.
* '''Low Damage Potential:''' While his meterless combo damage is about average, he doesn't get as much from spending meter as other characters, leaving his damage potential lower than most.
* '''Predictable Defense:''' Pucci's most reliable defensive options are both Counters, and his next best option ([[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Whitesnake)#Heart Heat Attack|HHA]]) requires meter to use, making them rather unreliable against attentive opponents. He also lacks any real meterless anti-airs, making jump-ins rather effective against him.
* '''Weak Defense:''' Pucci has a weaker defense than most characters due to not having a meterless reversal. He also lacks any real meterless anti-airs, making jump-ins rather effective against him.

If the opponent has had multiple abilities stolen, all of them will be stored on a single DISC. If the opponent attempts to use something they've been sealed out of, they temporarily get staggered.
If the opponent has had multiple abilities stolen, all of them will be stored on a single DISC. If the opponent attempts 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 picks up the DISC. The opponent can make Pucci drop the DISC by hitting him, with the DISC usually ending up behind them; it can then be picked up by crouching on top of it, but Pucci is also able to pick it back up to conceal it. Being captured by a Throw and being hit by a Reversal Assist both count as Pucci being hit, making him drop the DISC. 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 hit again.
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.

*Launches airborne opponents ''very far'' backwards, especially if they're already in hitstun.
*A great move, giving Pucci a strong neutral and a safe blockstring ender.
*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, have a low priority projectile (such as Kosaku's "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Stand 214X|Contact Bomb]]"). Conversely, it will lose heavily against multi-hit projectiles (most notably Kakyoin's "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Noriaki Kakyoin#236X|Emerald Splash]]" and Risotto's "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Risotto Nero#236X|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.
*Switching up the versions used occasionally can catch the opponent off guard.
----
*In a blockstring, it's often unclear whether canceling into this move will be gapless or a frametrap, but the L version is most likely to frametrap, and the H version is the most likely to be a true blockstring. Using the H version can be a way to prevent the opponent from using an invincible move and taking advantage of the gap; while it won't always be a gapless blockstring, it leaves the smallest gap even when it isn't.
'''L version:'''
*While a decent projectile on its own, it will lose heavily against multi-hit projectiles (most notably Kakyoin's "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Noriaki Kakyoin#236X|Emerald Splash]]" and Risotto's "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Risotto Nero#236X|You can find iron anywhere in this world.]]"), making any zoner matchup an insane uphill struggle in neutral as Pucci is essentially denied of his main neutral tool. However, against characters who lack projectiles, have a low priority projectile (such as Kosaku's "[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Kosaku Kawajiri#Stand 214X|Contact Bomb]]"), or are deprived of their DISC, it's a pretty great zoning tool.

Introduction

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

Enrico Pucci, loyal follower of DIO and the main antagonist of Stone Ocean, the sixth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, exhibits a grappler/debuffer playstyle, taking away the opponent's options and limiting their answers to his tactics.

In Stand Off, Pucci makes use of his projectile, "I order you!", to safely zone his opponent. He also uses his normals for pressure, making use of tick throws to land "A Stand power that can boil water...", a command grab that rewards Pucci with a combo on a successful use.

Stand On is where Pucci shines, gaining improved normals (notably j.M, which grants him combos on air hit) and access to an altered version of his "A Stand power that can boil water..." command grab, granting him more combo options. The true reward in Stand On, however, is his second command grab, "It's mine!": if this command grab is successful, Pucci will take away a DISC, sealing away the victim's special moves and several Style actions. From here, Pucci can either zone with his projectile in Stand Off or pressure the opponent at close range, both of these made way harder for the opponent to deal with by the removal of their special moves. Both his HHA and GHA will also take away a DISC (sealing the opponent's own HHA and HH Gauge, respectively), further reducing their options and granting Pucci an immense advantage.

On defense, Pucci really struggles, as his kit does not have any reliable defensive options. While having access to a counter in "It's an illusion", it requires Pucci to be in Stand On, which is not always feasible; similarly, his GHA is also a counter, making it extremely risky.

  • DISCs: Pucci has the ability to steal people's DISCs, which will seal certain actions for the opponent and limit their options against him.
Playstyle
JJASBR WS Pucci Small Icon.png Enrico Pucci is a Stand character who seals the opponent's options, after which he can play at either close range or long range depending on the situation.
Pros Cons
  • Move Sealing: Although he can't combo into any DISC steal except for "So it was already done...", managing to land any of these moves limits the opponent's answers against Pucci, leaving them at a severe disadvantage.
  • Strong Neutral: Pucci is not particularly helpless at any range, with moves such as 5M, j.H, and s.jM acting as strong pokes and approach options, respectively. From afar, "I order you!" is a fullscreen projectile with varying speeds that can singlehandedly force opponents to respect Pucci's presence.
  • Rewarding Command Grabs: Pucci has 2 command grabs (across modes), both of which lead into great reward: "A Stand power that can boil water..." leads into a combo, while "It's mine!" seals the opponent's special moves. This forces the opponent to guess after nearly every blocked hit, as the reward Pucci gets from them cannot be ignored.
  • Zoning Woes: Pucci struggles against characters who can get past his projectile. In addition, zoning characters who can exploit its low priority can force Pucci to approach, which can be a difficult task due to his relatively slow movement speed and predictable options.
  • Risky Pressure: Pucci has very few ways to get guaranteed, consistent pressure due to the many gaps present in his moveset. Additionally, while in Stand On, most of Pucci's options are very unsafe on block, and those that aren't (such as s.3H and "You shall be crucified!") force him to end his turn.
  • Predictable Defense: Pucci's most reliable defensive options are both Counters, and his next best option (HHA) requires meter to use, making them rather unreliable against attentive opponents. He also lacks any real meterless anti-airs, making jump-ins rather effective against him.

DISCs

Hitting the opponent with "It's mine!", "So it was already done...", or "This is my Whitesnake's ability!" will take a DISC from them. Afterwards, the opponent will see their abilities restricted, the exact restrictions depending on which attack stole the DISC:

  • Template:NotationIcon-JJASBR It's mine!: Seals almost all special moves and command normals. This includes options like Hamon Breathing, (meter-costing) installs, air dashes, superjumps, Pet Shop's Flight Mode, and Risotto's "Assassin". Does not include (Quick) Stand On/Off, (dis)mounting, Speedwagon's "Ogre Street", Pet Shop's "Dive", and command dashes.
  • Template:NotationIcon-JJASBR So it was already done...: The opponent will be unable to use their HHA.
  • Template:NotationIcon-JJASBR This is my Whitesnake's ability!: The opponent's HH Gauge will be sealed, preventing the use and gain of meter. This includes options such as Pillar Men Modes (despite not inherently costing meter), Quick Stand On, and Stand Rush. It also prevents the use of ULF Kars' "Flight".

If the opponent has had multiple abilities stolen, all of them will be stored on a single DISC. If the opponent attempts 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.

Pucci summons Whitesnake, who attacks with a sweeping kick.

  • Causes hard knockdown.
  • Very unsafe on block, but can be cancelled into Pucci's projectile for a frametrap that will end up being safer on block (the gap between the 2H and the projectile will be vulnerable to some invincible moves, but will not lose to most counters due to its nature as a projectile). Other options include his command grab and 3H > 236H, the latter leading into a gapless blockstring.

Pucci spins around and flings a DISC straight forward as a projectile.

  • The DISC's speed varies depending on the version used.
  • Launches airborne opponents very far backwards, 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, have a low priority projectile (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.

Pucci summons Whitesnake, who flies forward while reaching its arm out. If it grabs the opponent, it forcibly inserts a DISC into their head that causes their entire body to rapidly heat up.

  • The version used determines how fast and far Whitesnake flies out.
  • Causes crumple on a successful Throw.
  • Combos starting from this move will be heavily scaled.

L version:

  • Quick, but has the least range.
  • This is the best version for close-range tick throws.

M version:

  • Balanced range and speed.
  • Useful for when the opponent is slightly too far away.

H version:

  • Slow to start, but has the most range.
  • Pucci's longest ranged move, but it's not useful in neutral due to its recovery. It can catch some people off guard if they are playing very defensively from far away, but it's always a massive risk.

Pucci summons Whitesnake, who delivers a downward chop while moving forward.

  • The version used determines Whitesnake's behavior.
  • Shares IPS with the Stand On version.

L version:

  • Hits once.
  • Launches the opponent towards the floor, leading to a soft knockdown.
  • A very fast Overhead that's barely unsafe on block. While it cannot be confirmed into a combo, Pucci recovers fast enough to capitalize on its knockdown.

M version:

  • Adds a second chop if the first one hits.
  • Both hits cause a groundbounce.
  • Only the second hit can be canceled into HHA.
  • Somewhat weaker for mix-ups due to being quite a bit slower, but it is only a bit more unsafe on block and can be confirmed into a combo with 3H at close range.
  • Core combo piece that leads to some of Pucci's highest damage, recovering fast enough to link a dash-jump j.H.

H version:

  • Adds a second chop if the first one hits.
  • The first hit causes a groundbounce, while the second leads to a soft knockdown.
  • Only the second hit can be canceled into HHA, although it will not connect.
  • Too slow to be used for mix-ups and not worth starting a combo with, 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.

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.
  • If this move is Stylish Guarded, Pucci is so unsafe that the opponent can pick their strongest starter.
    • However, since it can be cancelled into GHA immediately (even on whiff), this can potentially catch an opponent who tries to punish Pucci.

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.
  • If this move connects, Whitesnake steals a DISC from the opponent, leaving them unable to use any command normals, special moves or Style actions (except for Stand On/Off and Mounting).
  • A command grab that's decently fast across all versions, further aided by the fact that it does not inflict hitstop on a successful Throw, unlike any other Throw in the game.
  • Landing this move will automatically recover a stolen DISC, even if an opposing Pucci (WS) is concealing it.

L version:

  • The fastest version with the shortest range.
  • Tick throws with 5L and 2L. Can also tick throw with 5M and 2M at certain distances.

M version:

  • Balanced speed and range.

H version:

  • The slowest version with the longest range.
  • Typically used after 5H on hit to catch the opponent as soon as hitstun ends.

  • Does not work against projectiles, Throws, HHAs, GHAs or Assists.
  • Each character has a unique animation for falling victim to this attack.

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.
  • Pucci can use 214H to OTG after the Throw, exchanging some frame advantage for a bit extra damage.

  • Pucci (Final) cannot make use of this Assist.
  • Only performs the second chop if the first one hits.
  • The first hit causes a groundbounce, while the second leads into a soft knockdown.
  • Can hit OTG, which can be taken advantage of by characters like Kars or Giorno in order to buy time and achieve their respective installs while remaining next to the opponent.

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 their DISC from their head, which it quickly snatches before kicking them away.

  • A great HHA in general: advances very far forward, has a very tall hitbox, will never miss in combos and the opponent will usually never be able 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.
  • If this move connects, Whitesnake steals a DISC from the opponent, leaving them unable to use their HHA.
    • Landing this move will automatically recover a stolen DISC, even if an opposing Pucci (either version) is concealing it.
    • The DISC stolen by this move has a higher priority than that of "It's mine!", which means Pucci (Final) cannot steal it with his own version of "It's mine!". 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.

Pucci raises his arms while Whitesnake taunts the opponent. If struck by the opponent's attack, Pucci is seemingly blown away, before the event is revealed to be an illusion. Afterwards, Pucci commands Whitesnake to unceremoniously rip a DISC out of the unconscious opponent's head while throwing them away.

  • Frame 1 counter super and the second most damaging move in the game.
  • Works against HHAs and GHAs, but not against Throws, Assists or projectiles.
  • On a successful activation, Whitesnake steals a DISC from the opponent, leaving them unable to use and gain HH Gauge.
    • The opponent still gains 0.45 HH Gauge for getting hit by the GHA.
    • Landing this move will automatically recover a stolen DISC, even if an opposing Pucci (either version) is concealing it.
    • The DISC stolen by this move has a higher priority than that of "It's mine!", which means Pucci (Final) cannot steal it with his own version of "It's mine!". 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.
