JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Final)
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 the sixth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stone Ocean, 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, which works in his favor more than other characters: 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 imposes extreme conditions on the fight, such as becoming much faster than his opponent, who is also slowed down. This can help ensure Pucci gets the upper hand, aided by the fact that the timer counts down at an accelerated rate, ending the round quickly. This, combined with long juggle combos, makes Made in Heaven primarily used for timeouts.
However, all of this is offset by major drawbacks. 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 doesn't have many combo extenders, severely limiting Pucci's damage output. Pucci is also very momentum-focused: chanting the "14 Words" eats up not only meter that could be used for combos, but also time that could be used for okizeme. C-Moon can help Pucci make a major comeback, but achieving it in the first place is not an easy task, as Pucci must bide his time and options to obtain as much of an advantage over the opponent as possible. For its part, Made in Heaven, rather ironically, isn't good for comebacks at all: its attacks and combos all deal low damage, simply being meant to waste time, and because the timer ticks down at a rapid rate, obtaining Made in Heaven with a life deficit can backfire horribly.
- Evolution: Pucci is able to evolve his Stand during battle, gaining access to new moves and abilites.
- Option Sealing: With Whitesnake, Pucci has the ability to steal people's DISCs, which will seal certain actions for the opponent and limit 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: Once per match, Pucci can accelerate time while slowing down the opponent, granting him access to a strong win condition.

The Green Baby Gauge
Only available with Whitesnake at Pucci's disposal, the Green Baby Gauge manifests as 14 rhombus units displayed above his Heart Heat Gauge. When using "14 Words", Pucci will bring out the Green Baby and speak to it, filling one rhombus (which turns from light grey to purple). Succesfully 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 Kawajiri's "Bites the Dust". 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, this mechanic grants Pucci 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 special moves or Style actions (except for Stand On/Off and Mount/Dismount). If the opponent attempts to use something they've been sealed out of, they temporarily get staggered.
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, which will make it appear right in front of (or behind) the opponent after they hit Pucci; 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. Escaping 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.
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); 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
After evolving his Stand into C-Moon and succesfully 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, the timer will tick down three times as fast, Pucci will move at double his speed, and the opponent's own speed (as well as that of Assists, both the opponent's and Pucci's own) is halved; as a result, Pucci's attacks with Made in Heaven are much faster and the opponent falls more slowly when launched, making extended combos much easier to execute for Pucci. Special animations performed by the opponent (such as Throws, HHAs, and GHAs) temporarily return the speed to normal until the animation in question ends. The only character who does not suffer from Made in Heaven's slowing effect is Giorno Giovanna (and only with Gold Experience Requiem active).
However, Made in Heaven 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 becomes empty, and the stage will return to its original form. Additionally, if Pucci is hit by Kosaku Kawajiri's "Bites the Dust" with Made in Heaven active, Pucci's Stand will revert all the way back to Whitesnake, with the Green Baby Gauge becoming empty; while it is still possible to evolve into C-Moon again, Made in Heaven will remain lost due to its once-per-match rule.
