Used in combos, but can also be useful for pestering or punishing your opponent. Be careful, though, it has a hefty recovery and can be punished in many ways if you use it at the wrong time or position your reticle badly. It does about the same damage on hit and block. With precise positioning, you can create an unblockable crossup with this move where it hits without giving them a chance to preblock.

Despite this version being much faster than the Stand OFF variant, the pose will usually let the opponent have a chance to at least jump away.
 
If the opponent is Stand ON when they get hit by this move, Alessi will skip his pose animation and immediately be able to act.

Depending on the how long you hold the buttons the attack will reach the ceiling or just be slightly larger than a normal attack. Interestingly, it has a dead zone right in front of Alessi if fully charged. Charging this move does not do extra damage. Can be used as an early anti-air, but when the hell are you gonna have this charged in time to do it early. This move is not air unblockable, either. The longer the charge, the more unsafe it is on block, with the shorter version being fairly safe. It is only really useful during combos, but the minimum charge required is only 30 frames, making it easy to execute.

   |description=Alessi rushes a short distance forward, if the attack connects he releases a flurry of hits with his stand while posing. At the end of the super the opponent is transformed into child form for a period of time. The quick startup and invincibilty makes this move one of Alessi's only options for beating out jump-ins. Keep in mind though, it is not air-unblockable and turns your Stand on when used in Stand off, allowing for a damaging punish (Stand turns back off if it hits from s.off). Can be used as a reversal if you are under pressure, but Jesus Christ please don't use this shit on wakeup, Custom Combo is usually a better reversal anyway. Catching some stand hurtboxes will teleport the opponent's body into this move, but sometimes if you hit an awkward hurtbox, they will fall out during the move and can easily punish the long animation you're stuck in.

   |description=Alessi shoots up his stand in the form of a tower. If the attack connects it hits 7 times and transforms the opponent into child form for a period of time. Mashing during the super will give you more hits. Strangely enough, mashing this move a little but not a lot will scale it to the point that it does less damage than if you didn't mash. Mashing will produce inconsistent damage, probably has weird properties related to how you mash. This move is a good early anti-air that can do more damage than 236AA, but it will whiff at very close range, has a sluggish startup, but is also air-unblockable. It will require a perfect read to pull off.

Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties

d.2C
HFTF Alessi 2a2b.png
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
- - - - -
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
- {{{block}}} - - -

Hard low jab. Good poke and whiff punish that can combo into 2C, 5C, 663A, and more. Very damaging combo starter, although its startup is a bit slow.

Command Normals

4C/6C (Close)
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
- - - - -
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
- {{{block}}} - - -

Sethan grabs the opponent, moves them away from Alessi, and Alessi chops the opponent with his axe. Recovery time is instant. Cannot be punished. Decent throw, though it forcibly sets Sethan to be slightly stretched out which can be pretty inconvenient.

Guard Cancel

Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
- {{{block}}} - - -

Very quick and large reversal, super good guard cancel. In Stand ON can be cancelled if you maintain your s.[AA] install.

Stand ON

ALL OF ALESSI'S STAND ON NORMALS HAVE DECENTLY SIZED TO EGREGIOUSLY LARGE HURTBOXES THAT ARE ACTIVE BEFORE THE HITBOXES BY A FEW FRAMES. DO NOT TRY TO BEAT OUT MOVES WITH LOTS OF ACTIVE FRAMES WITH STAND ON NORMALS. (This also includes Stand OFF 2C and j.C, though they are nowhere near as bad.)

[S]
HFTF Alessi reference.png
Startup Active Recovery Damage Guard
- - - - -
Hit Adv. Block Adv. Pushblock Adv. Cancel Properties
- {{{block}}} - - -

Holding S after activating Stand ON will make Sethan grow taller in size and effectively increase its range. However, this may leave a gap between Alessi and Sethan where the opponent cannot be hit by most of your attacks. Exception being s.2C and your dashing normals, which will come out at the same distance no matter how large Sethan is. Going Stand OFF and turning Stand back ON when neutral (5) will turn it back to normal size. Turning Stand OFF then ON while holding 6 or 4 will keep the added size. Doing s.63214x will also revert this size change. Expanding your stand can be useful to allow you to punish certain moves better in some matchups, especially since you can enlarge it safely between rounds.

Normals

s.5A

Alessi quick shove. Still a useful normal, but it's range is mostly negated by how close you need to be for this to activate. Can combo into s.41236+A and s.63214+A and does a BILLION stand gauge damage (26).

Alessi Mode

Alessi Mode is active when the opponent is in child form. Alessi stands a little taller and gets completely different Stand OFF normals in this mode. Stand ON normals are the same. Child opponents hit in the air cannot be damaged until they land again.

Any dashing normal will make Alessi do a dashing version of 5C. Great damage move that can combo into itself if you are fast enough, and also combos into 41236+C which is useful at the end of a transform. This move can whiff on some child forms if they are close enough so you'll have to be careful with your spacing.

Alessi stands still as he pulls out his gun and a reticle appears on the screen. Shoot by pressing A B or C up to 13 times while controlling the reticle instead of Alessi. It will end when you press S, fire all 13 shots, or after a long period of time. The initial button after 41236 controls where the reticle appears: GUn-blockable demonstration.mp4

A = In front of Alessi

B = Midscreen, between you and the opponent

C = On the enemy or in front of them if fullscreen.

Used in combos, but can also be useful for pestering or punishing your opponent. Be careful, though, it has a hefty recovery and can be punished in many ways if you use it at the wrong time or position your reticle badly. It does about the same damage on hit and block. With precise positioning, you can create an unblockable crossup with this move where it hits without giving them a chance to preblock.

Alessi uses a wave of 'energy' on his stand to turn anyone standing in it into their child form. This attack hits low. No variation in buttons. Very slow with no combo potential, you will only do this by accident. Upon a hit and after the long recovery resolves, Alessi will pose in an additional "recovery" animation. This animation wastes precious Alessi Mode time and renders this move punishable on hit (albeit by baby damage).

Alessi uses his stand to grab the opponent and transform them into a child. Unlike the Stand OFF variant, this move is rather fast. Hits low. The button pressed determines the range it comes out from slightly. Can combo into this instead of Custom Combo if you don't have meter. Air-unblockable. Despite this version being much faster than the Stand OFF variant, the pose will usually let the opponent have a chance to at least jump away.

If the opponent is Stand ON when they get hit by this move, Alessi will skip his pose animation and immediately be able to act.

When pressing and holding two attack buttons in Stand ON, Alessi will charge a Stand On attack. When the buttons are released, a large axe is released from Sethan. Depending on the how long you hold the buttons the attack will reach the ceiling or just be slightly larger than a normal attack. Interestingly, it has a dead zone right in front of Alessi if fully charged. Charging this move does not do extra damage. Can be used as an early anti-air, but when the hell are you gonna have this charged in time to do it early. This move is not air unblockable, either. The longer the charge, the more unsafe it is on block, with the shorter version being fairly safe. It is only really useful during combos, but the minimum charge required is only 30 frames, making it easy to execute.

Alessi rushes a short distance forward, if the attack connects he releases a flurry of hits with his stand while posing. At the end of the super the opponent is transformed into child form for a period of time. The quick startup and invincibilty makes this move one of Alessi's only options for beating out jump-ins. Keep in mind though, it is not air-unblockable and turns your Stand on when used in Stand off, allowing for a damaging punish (Stand turns back off if it hits from s.off). Can be used as a reversal if you are under pressure, but Jesus Christ please don't use this shit on wakeup, Custom Combo is usually a better reversal anyway. Catching some stand hurtboxes will teleport the opponent's body into this move, but sometimes if you hit an awkward hurtbox, they will fall out during the move and can easily punish the long animation you're stuck in.

Alessi shoots up his stand in the form of a tower. If the attack connects it hits 7 times and transforms the opponent into child form for a period of time. Mashing during the super will give you more hits. Strangely enough, mashing this move a little but not a lot will scale it to the point that it does less damage than if you didn't mash. Mashing will produce inconsistent damage, probably has weird properties related to how you mash. This move is a good early anti-air that can do more damage than 236AA, but it will whiff at very close range, has a sluggish startup, but is also air-unblockable. It will require a perfect read to pull off.
