All-Star Battle R/Enrico Pucci (Final)

"The time for Heaven has finally arrived... (「天国の時」はついに来た……)"

Enrico Pucci (エンリコ・プッチ) with the potential to evolve his Stand was announced alongside and the Kennedy Space Center stage on November 25, 2022, and was released on December 1, 2022 in a free DLC update to coincide with the release of the final set of episodes for the Stone Ocean anime.

As this version of Pucci is the one that was originally in, his moveset is fundamentally the same with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought. Despite the inclusion of, Whitesnake remains part of this Pucci's command list.

In the English localization of All-Star Battle R, Pucci's name is localized as "Father Pucchi", while his Stands, Whitesnake, C-MOON, and Made in Heaven, are localized as "Pale Snake", "See Moon", and "Maiden Heaven" respectfully, all of which are carried on from their first official usage in either or the Stone Ocean anime ("See Moon").

Just like the Whitesnake-only version of Pucci, replacing his previous voice actor, Sho Hayami, now is Tomokazu Seki, who voices him in the Stone Ocean anime. Seki also replaces as Whitesnake and C-MOON. Because of this, and like the majority of the game's roster, Pucci's voicelines have been either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay
Pucci has 900 health and uses the Stand (スタンド) Battle Style, fighting foes alongside either Whitesnake, C-MOON, or Made in Heaven. During battle, Pucci can use abilities featured during the course of Stone Ocean.

The intended playstyle of Pucci (Final) is to stall using Whitesnake's various moves (such as his special-stealing HHA, his disc projectile, and his barrage which crumples the opponent) the buy time in order to speak the 14 phrases to the Green Baby. Once completing the phrases, he gains access to C-MOON, who possesses some of the highest damage in the game with his powerful specials and unique bleed mechanic which slowly drains the opponent's health once they are hit by a special (this status is removed after some time or if they are hit by another special, referencing C-MOON's ability which turns anything inside-out). C-MOON can also use its GHA to evolve into its final form, Made in Heaven; which possesses incredible speed and the ability to teleport near the opponent. Slowly evolving through these forms throughout the course of the match is how Pucci (Final) was meant to be used.

However, the most popular and effective playstyle for Pucci (Final) is a "Whitesnake-only" playstyle which focuses on disabling the opponent's specials with its HHA and harassing the opponent while they're crippled. This method is currently far more effective than evolving into C-MOON as not only does it take a strenuous amount of time and effort to unlock him, his normal attacks are incredibly short-ranged and he no longer possesses Whitesnake's incredible special-stealing ability which makes him more of a side-grade than an upgrade, making the effort put into getting him severely not worth it. Made in Heaven is also not worth the work as not only do you have to first unlock C-MOON, who already isn't worth the time chanting words to the baby, and having the set up a way to not get interrupted by the opponent while transforming, his speed is not completely game-winning. Although Made in Heaven turns Pucci (Final) into one of, if not the strongest character in the game, the fact that it does not secure a win just by reaching heaven makes him all the more lackluster. Especially since he does not carry between rounds.

Whitesnake possesses below-average damage, but also has the extremely powerful ability of outright disabling the opponent's specials making them much easier to fight against. Pucci (Final) aims to always keep the opponent's disc away from them. If Final Pucci is hit after stealing an opponent's specials, he will drop their disc; Which can be picked up by the opponent to give their specials back. Pucci (Final) can also pick the disc back up to keep it off the ground and out of the hands of the opponent. This lockdown strategy makes Pucci (Final) a formidable character to fight against, as many characters are reliant on their special abilities to perform basic functions.
