Heritage for the Future ★ Alessi

Capcom Fighters

Alessi

Alessi, or Alessy in the English localization, appears in the Capcom game. He was part of the original roster in JoJo's Venture, and is a Weapon Stand User.

Alessi plays the same role he did in the manga during Story Mode. He is an assassin hired by DIO to destroy Jotaro Kujo and his companions. Very little is offered in terms of his backstory, so his motivations and the potential reward for helping DIO are a mystery.

During his storyline, he manages to defeat the protagonists, and he starts to believe that he is even more powerful than DIO himself. Alessi travels to DIO's mansion and kills Vanilla Ice and his vampire master. Alessi becomes the most powerful Stand Master in the world afterward and contemplates "who to torture next" in his ending.

Moveset & Gameplay

Alessi is characterized as a comic-relief character (such as Dan from the Street Fighter series) with his ridiculous animations and over the top attacks, but is, in fact, a powerful character. His active Stand possesses incredible range and can be extended even further by holding the Summon button down while calling it out. Its weakness, however: Alessi will not be able to attack aerially with it active since Sethan is a shadow, and cannot leave the ground.

• After certain attacks, Sethan will transform the opponent into a different form and Alessi will use an axe instead of his stand to finish them off. Not everybody who is hit by Sethan becomes younger. Some characters turn into minor characters from the manga.

• Alessi has a looped backdash, running away from his opponent as a nod to his cowardice. However he possesses a very short dash towards them. When they're reverted to children, however, the speed of his dash is increased, as they are easier to take on.
• Alessi's victory animation has him being slightly de-aged by his own stand. The younger Alessi is a reference to the cover art for the game.
• The young Joseph Joestar's story mode is started by Alessi de-aging him and running away after realizing that he did not become a child.
