Bruno Bucciarati (ブローノ・ブチャラティ, Burōno Bucharati) appears in All-Star Battle as a playable character, confirmed for the game alongside Narancia Ghirga and Diavolo in the game's 5th official trailer[1] after being announced in Weekly Shonen Jump prior to said trailer.
As one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, Bucciarati can turn his Stand, Sticky Fingers, "on/off", changing movesets, as well as having access to the Stand Rush ability returning from the Capcom game, Capcom Fighters, being able to attack in conjunction with his Stand. Bucciarati has 950 HP.
Bucciarati is one of the only characters who activates Resolve Mode instead of the normal Rumble Mode when low on health. In this state, attacks that do not result in hard knockdowns or blow-backs no longer phase the character.
Unlike the Golden Wind anime adaptation, Bucciarati here is voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama, replacing Takahiro Sakurai who was Bucciarati's voice actor in the GioGio's Bizarre Adventure videogame. Noriaki went on to also voice Bucciarati in Eyes of Heaven.
Command List
During a fight, he can use various moves pulled from his appearance in Vento Aureo.
Expand/Collapse All
Ground versions:
- Light (): Bucciarati punches upwards, and the attack functions as an anti-air.
- Medium (): Bucciarati punches straight forward.
- Heavy (): Bucciarati punches at a downwards angle.
Aerial versions:
- Light (): Bucciarati punches straight forward, allowing him to challenge an opponent also in the air.
- Medium (): Bucciarati punches at a diagonally downwards angle.
- Heavy (): Bucciarati punches sharply downwards.
Of special note is that this skill is cancelable not only into a dedicated follow-up skill, but also "I'll have to finish you from afar!" and Bucciarati's Throw, offering him both impressive mobility potential as well as the ability suddenly cover a large distance and Throw the opponent in a single maneuver.
- Light (): Bucciarati reappears a distance from the opponent, or his horizontal position does not change if he is already far enough.
- Medium (): Bucciarati reappears closer to the opponent, or right in front of them if close enough.
- Heavy (): Bucciarati reappears right in front of/above the opponent, or much closer if he is too far.
The damage dealt to Bucciarati himself is silver, and he can regain this lost health over time, provided he doesn't take damage again during this process.
Gameplay Overview
Bucciarati is a utilitarian combatant that emphasizes excellent maneuverability, strong spacing and neutral with multiple ranged attacks, and an overall impressive repertoire of different abilities. Sticky Fingers's various zipper-based powers lend him a wealth of possibilities, ranging from a very fast, multi-purpose movement ability, a "teleporting" skill, and many mid- to long-ranged attacks; He can functionally move to any range he needs to be immediately and reliably begin attacking from there. While Stand OFF focuses on his mobility and quick, long-reaching attacks for a defensive style, Bucciarati switches to a much more aggressive strategy with Sticky Fingers active, gaining heavier strike attacks and launching skills while retaining his core above-average reach.
However, Bucciarati's most important damage-dealing skills have considerable recovery period after performing them, which means he is vulnerable to retaliation should the opponent successfully dodge or block his attacks. Although Flash Cancels and Stand Rush may help mitigate this weakness, it can naturally make him more reliant on Heart Heat. As a result, he requires proper knowledge of his attacks' ranges and spacing to help keep himself safe from counterattack, and more care be given towards Heart Heat as a fail-safe.
With all his strengths combined, Bucciarati is outstandingly reliable and versatile, and seen as one of the most well-rounded characters in the game. When proper understanding of his talents is applied, he possesses a naturally advanced level of spatial control over the arena, unleashes attacks from any angle, and outmaneuvers his foe before quickly punishing their actions.
