A summary of Enrico Pucci's history and movesets in video games.
Pucci makes his first video game appearance in All-Star Battle and is the only villain playable from Part 6, voiced by Sho Hayami, who had voiced another follower of DIO, Vanilla Ice in the Capcom fighting game. He was confirmed for the game alongside Dio Brando (Part 1).
Along with Hol Horse, Kosaku-Kira, Johnny Joestar, Koichi Hirose and Giorno Giovanna, Pucci is a character who can utilize more than one Stand during a match as part of his moveset and is the only character who can utilize three Stands. As one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, Pucci can turn his Stands on/off, changing movesets, as well as having access to the Stand Rush ability returning from the Capcom game, being able to attack in conjunction with C-Moon only. Pucci has 900 HP.
During battle, Pucci can use many abilities of his featured in Stone Ocean.
Pucci can summon or dismiss his Stand, altering his available abilities.
Having stuck a cross under his index finger's nail, Pucci stabs forward with it at slightly enhanced ranged. A command normal that can chain into Pucci's skills. (Comboable)
Whitesnake or C-Moon lash out in a 5-hit punch combo, leaving the opponent crumpling. A command normal that can chain into Pucci's skills. (Comboable)
A counter. Pucci and C-Moon pose, bracing themselves for attack. If struck by a non-Throw/HHA/GHA melee attack, C-Moon shifts gravity to blast the opponent, making them suddenly fall away from Pucci and sending them into the stage wall.
Exclusive to Pucci and relevant to him for as long as he has Whitesnake. 14 rhombus units are displayed above the Heart Heat Gauge. When one is filled via the "14 words", it turns from light grey to purple, and filling all 14 will evolve Whitesnake into C-Moon.
Pucci pulls out the Green Baby and begins speaking the fourteen phrases to it at a steady rate, in order to progress towards evolving Whitesnake into C-Moon. Each phrase spoken fills one of the units of the Green Baby Gauge. Holding down the button input allows Pucci to speak more than one word at a time before putting the baby away. A small amount of Pucci's Heart Heat is immediately consumed to perform this ability, but any subsequent words spoken to the Green Baby within the same usage do not cost extra. Pucci is vulnerable to attack while this skill is in effect, but may Flash Cancel to mitigate his recovery.
Pucci lifts the opponent up by their face with one hand, before pulling them into a forceful knee-butt to the face and throwing them to the ground.
Pucci spins around and flings a DISC straight forward as a projectile. The DISC's speed is determined by the attack button inputted. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Pucci begins matches with Whitesnake as his Stand.
When Pucci steals the opponent's DISC via "It's mine!" or his HHA, their special skills and Style Button-related abilities (with the exception of Stand ON/OFF and Mounting/Dismounting) are locked away in the form of "the DISC":
The DISC will be in Pucci's possession until his opponent hits him, causing it to drop in front of him and allowing it to be picked up by either combatant via crouching over it. Pucci can retrieve the DISC to keep the opponent's Style locked, or the opponent can retrieve it and restore their abilities.
Pucci summons Whitesnake to deliver a forward chop. If it connects, the opponent is bounced off the ground before Whitesnake moves in and chop them again. This skill cannot be Flash-Cancelled once Whitesnake begins its second chop. (Flash Cancel comboable)
A command Throw. Whitesnake swings its arm forward, and if it connects, will pick the opponent up and rip out their DISC while throwing them to the ground.
A counter. Pucci poses with Whitesnake as he raises his arms in hallelujah. If struck by a non-Throw/HHA/GHA, Whitesnake reveals it has already put the opponent under an illusion via its Melt Your Heart ability, stunning them as the two fade away. The real Pucci and Whitesnake appear already behind the opponent as the opponent crumples to the ground, open to attack. (Comboable)Each individual character has a unique animation for falling victim to this attack, similar to Giorno Giovanna's HHA.
If Pucci completely fills the Green Baby Gauge completely by way of the "14 words" ability, the Green Baby will fuse with Whitesnake as Pucci grins, evolving it into C-Moon. Pucci's appearance is altered and his abilities will change accordingly.
A status effect that is inflicted when any skill marked with a star (☆) connects. The opponent is affected by C-Moon's gravity-altering effects, and they slowly lose health as their bodies are turned inside-out. While in effect, the opponent's torso visually has blood continuously spewing out.
Pucci summons C-Moon forward to strike the ground, causing three pieces of projectile debris to be sent upwards in different directions and launching the opponent if they are hit. The attack button inputted determines how far C-Moon moves before performing the maneuver. This skill functions as an anti-air. (Flash Cancel comboable)
C-Moon performs a devastating, unblockable uppercut that sends the opponent flying. A Stand Rush skill that Pucci can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing.
After a short delay, C-Moon punches it fists together in an unblockable attack. If the opponent is caught, they will be left crumpling to the ground and vulnerable. A Stand Rush skill that Pucci can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing. (Comboable)
Pucci and Whitesnake fly forward a moderate distance. If they connect with the opponent, Whitesnake rapidly swipes its hand across the opponent's face, causing their DISC to eject from their head. It will then quickly steal the DISC and roundhouse-kick them away.
Pucci, using C-Moon's gravity-altering ability, attempts to float with his Stand on debris skyward. If left uninterrupted for a few seconds, bright light with bathe Pucci completely, shining out of different parts of his body including his eyes. In a bright flash, Made in Heaven appears and rushes from behind him, and Pucci and his newfound Stand rapidly zip around the sky in streaks of light before landing, prepared to finish the battle.
After evolving his Stand into Made in Heaven, the stage will move into outer space, with the stage walls and background being a road made out of light representing the rapidly changing universe, making this the only stage that cannot be readily accessed from the Stage Select menu.
While in Made in Heaven Mode, the battle timer will tick three times as fast, Pucci will move at double his speed, and the opponent's own speed is halved; This means that Pucci moves at effectively four times the speed of his opponent. His attacks with Made in Heaven are not only excellent combo abilities, but too fast for a human opponent to react to. Due to the opponent's own slowed nature, they will also fall more slowly to ground when knocked into the air, making extended combos much easier to execute for Pucci. Although he can dismiss Made in Heaven, it will only leave him with his usual set of skills; All of Pucci's new abilities are only available when Made in Heaven is active.
Made in Heaven is not entirely infallible. Most notably, it can only be successfully activated once per match and becomes permanently unavailable after the round ends; Pucci begins the next round with C-Moon again, and the stage will return to its original form. Special animations performed by the opponent such as Throws, HHA, and GHA, temporarily return them to normal speed until the animation in question ends. Due to the rapidly accelerated timer, it is very common for the round to end via Time Up, which can result in the transformation backfiring on Pucci if he has less health than his opponent.Lastly, if he is somehow struck by the Bites the Dust GHA of "Kosaku Kawajiri", Pucci's Stand will revert all the way back to Whitesnake; Though he may work his way back to C-Moon through the Green Baby Gauge and 14 words, Made in Heaven will remain lost to him as according to the once-per-match rule.
The only character who does not suffer from Made in Heaven's slowing effect is Giorno Giovanna with Gold Experience in Requiem Mode.
Pucci and Made in Heaven charge forward at incredible speeds before unleashing a large slashing strike that knocks the opponent off their feet. (Comboable)
Pucci and Made in Heaven suddenly flash and directly and instantly reappear at the opponent's location from any distance. The attack button inputted determines where they appear in relation to the opponent. (Comboable)
While in mid-air, both Pucci and Made in Heaven fling five knives straight in a direction as projectiles. The knives strike as a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching, and the direction they're thrown is determined by the attack button inputted. (Comboable)
Of note is that the design of the knives are similar to those thrown by DIO.
Alongside the others characters from Part 6, Pucci has a special intro against DIO, the same conversation they had during one of Pucci's flashbacks: DIO claims that Pucci could easily steal his Stand DISC and The World with it, while Pucci respectfully states that he would never do such a thing.
For the western version, he was named "Father Pucchi" and his Stands' names were changed to "Pale Snake", "Full Moon", and "Maiden Heaven", respectively.
Pucci also appears as a background character and the Situation Finish for the Green Dolphin Street Prison stage, provided he himself is not at least one of the two combatants. If a character were to be defeated in the direction of the gate where Pucci is standing, Whitesnake will appear and steal the loser's Stand/Memory DISC similar to the chapter scene when Whitesnake obtains Jotaro's Stand DISC from Jolyne.
Enrico Pucci (エンリコ・プッチ, Enriko Putchi) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's Parts 4, 6, 8 trailer.
In one of the most drastic character changes from the original All-Star Battle, Pucci has been separated into two playable characters, not unlike his playable iterations in Eyes of Heaven.
A version of Pucci with only Whitesnake as his Stand is part of the base roster.
The original version of Pucci from All-Star Battle, with all three Stands (C-Moon and Made in Heaven included) was released on December 1st, 2022 in a free DLC update to coincide with the release of the final set of episodes for the Stone Ocean anime.
Replacing Pucci's previous voice actor of Sho Hayami now is Tomokazu Seki, who voices him in the anime. Because of this, and like the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Pucci have been re-recorded accordingly.
Pucci with only Whitesnake as his Stand (localized to "Father Pucchi") was confirmed alongside the rest of the Part 6 cast during the game's Parts 4, 6, and 8 Reveal Trailer. Following the removal of the ability to evolve into C-Moon and related mechanics such as the Green Baby Gauge and 14 words, Pucci's set of abilities has been expanded to compensate, including a new GHA.
This section requires expansion.
During battle, Pucci can use abilities featured during the course of Stone Ocean, exclusively from his time with Whitesnake as his Stand.
Pucci can summon or dismiss Whitesnake, altering his available abilities.
Pucci is able to steal his opponent's DISC via "It's mine!", his HHA, or "This is my Whitesnake's ability!", his GHA. Depending on the attack landed, various abilities of theirs are locked away in the form of a "DISC". The DISC will remain in Pucci's possession until his opponent hits him, causing it to drop in front of him. It can then be picked up by either combatant via standing over it and crouching; Pucci can retrieve the DISC to keep the opponent's abilities locked, or the opponent may retrieve it and restore their abilities. If the opponent has had multiple abilities locked via Pucci's different DISC-stealing attacks, all of them will be stored on a single DISC.
Having stuck a cross under his index finger's nail, Pucci stabs forward with it at slightly enhanced range, knocking the opponent off their feet. A command normal that can chain into Pucci's skills. (Comboable)
Whitesnake lashes out in a 5-hit punch combo, leaving the opponent crumpling. A command normal that can chain into Pucci's skills. (Comboable)
Whitesnake delivers a downwards chop moving forward. If it connects, the opponent is knocked to the ground in a ground bounce. This is a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching. Depending on the attack button inputted, a follow-up chop may be performed.
A new skill. A command Throw; Whitesnake 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 attack button inputted determines the range of the attack, inversely affecting Pucci's recovery speed afterwards if the attack fails. This skill's effect is altered based on whether or not Whitesnake is active:
A command Throw. Whitesnake swings its arm forward, and if it connects, will pick the opponent up and rip out a DISC while throwing them to the ground. The attack button inputted determines the range of the attack, inversely affecting Pucci's recovery speed afterwards if the attack fails.
The DISC taken by this skill seals the opponent's specials, skills, and abilities related to Style () (with the exception of Stand On/Off and Mount/Dismount).
Pucci and Whitesnake fly forward a moderate distance in a melee tackle. If they connect with the opponent, Whitesnake rapidly swipes its hand across the opponent's face, causing their DISC to eject from their head. It will then quickly snatch the DISC and roundhouse-kick them away.
The DISC taken by this HHA seals the opponent's own HHA.
A counter. Pucci and Whitesnake raise their arms up high in hallelujah, in praise of his own euphoria. If he is then struck by any melee attack that is not a Throw, including HHA and even other GHA, his counterattack will trigger.Pucci is seemingly blown away by the opponent's attack, before the entire screen suddenly begins to distort and fade away; In reality, the opponent was under the influence of Whitesnake's Melt Your Heart ability. When the screen clears, they are lying unconscious on the ground with Pucci standing over them, explaining that it was an illusion they struck. With his target utterly vulnerable, he brings forth Whitesnake to stab its hand with great force into their head, and brutishly rip out a DISC while throwing them away.
The DISC taken by this GHA seals the opponent's Heart Heat Gauge itself, leaving them unable to use any Heart Heat-consuming ability nor generate Heart Heat.In addition, this is the second highest-damaging Great Heat Attack in the entire game, behind the GHA of Diavolo. It deals roughly ~47% of the average character's max health in damage at level 1, making it capable of KO'ing an opponent and bypassing Rumble or Resolve Mode from a little under half-health. Its damage can increase up to level 3, making it inflict a whopping ~71%; It can reduce most character's health down to Rumble/Resolve Mode from a full gauge.
Pucci with the potential to evolve his Stand was announced alongside Weather Report and the Cape Canaveral stage on November 25th, 2022, and was released on December 1st, 2022 in a free DLC update.
Pucci with Whitesnake (simply "Enrico Pucci") was confirmed as a playable character alongside Jolyne, Ermes, and Weather Report. Whitesnake is unable to evolve, unlike the previous game. As a result, his move set is primarily based around the powers and attacks demonstrated before his merging with the Green Baby. Whitesnake Pucci cannot be paired with his New Moon form.
As a Stand User, Pucci is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle. Opponents hit by Pucci's various skills will be Sealed. While Sealed, they will randomly lose access to one of their skills. This effect can be applied multiple times, up to four; this translates to an opponent losing three of their normal skills and one of an EX skill. Also of note is that Pucci by default is immune to the effects of Weather Report's "The Devil's Rainbow! It's Heavy Weather!" skill.
Pucci's original form does not appear in Story Mode, unlike THE WORLD Diego, and Part 4 and 6 Jotaro, all of whom briefly appear during the game's ending sequence. Instead, New Moon Pucci is the one to be involved in the game's storyline, set after his transformation and during the final battle at Cape Canaveral.
He is paired with Akira Otoishi in the Eyes of Heaven Tournament, but was eliminated in the preliminaries by Weather Report and "Kosaku Kawajiri".
Pucci with C-Moon and subsequently, Made in Heaven, is now a separate playable character, and was confirmed alongside Anasui, Josuke Higashikata 8, and Joshu Higashikata. His name is titled Pucci Waiting For the New Moon (新月の時を待つプッチ, Shingetsu no Toki o Matsu Putchi), commonly shortened to New Moon Pucci (新月プッチ, Shingetsu Putchi) and dubbed "Pucchi, Awaiting the New Moon" in the English localization. New Moon Pucci cannot be paired with his original form possessing Whitesnake.
This version of Pucci appears in the game's story mode. He is first seen with Pet Shop, sent to kill Part 3 Jotaro and his future daughter Jolyne at Cape Canaveral in order to prevent them from gathering any more of the Saint Corpse Parts. However, the two retreat when they are defeated by the father-daughter team. Later, after the Joestar Group encounters Heaven Ascension DIO, Pucci confronts Jotaro again at the Joestar Mansion, sending Enya the Hag's zombies after him before fighting Jotaro himself. Even with the assistance of zombies, Pucci is defeated once again. Knowing that Joseph Joestar will inevitably use Hermit Purple to extract his knowledge of The World Over Heaven's ability and weakness, Pucci makes his final commitment to his lord DIO, and jumps from the second story floor of the mansion. He impales himself on the Statue of the Goddess of Love and perishes to keep his master safe, recreating the original Dio Brando's first defeat by Jonathan Joestar.
With C-Moon, Pucci can perform various attacks that turn his opponents inside-out. While in effect, affected opponents will very gradually lose health as blood continuously seeps out of their torso, with no way to manually undo the effect aside from losing a health gauge or getting hit by C-Moon's attacks a second time. The only character immune to this effect is Jolyne while her "Bring it on right until the end!" skill is active.
With Made in Heaven, Pucci gains incredible speed and power due to the Stand's abilities, being able to deal many hits and cover a large amount of ground in a short amount of time.
Enrico Pucci was obtainable for a limited time as a collaboration character in the mobile game Monster Strike.
