Job #112 - Rikiya Busujima moveset
I’ll admit that I am far from a House of the Dead expert, much less a Zombie Revenge expert, so feel free to correct me if there are any big inaccuracies in this moveset. I mainly used a GameFAQs guide, the gameplay video linked above, and Speed Weed’s original pitch for the character as references to pull from.
General playstyle: Busujima is an absolute powerhouse in every sense of the word. He’s one of the slower characters on this roster, but his powerful attacks more than make up for his lack of mobility. He’s not the kind of character you’d use if you’re looking to rack up combos, rather he’s there to deal large meaty hits that feel satisfying to land. And yes, a majority of his punching attacks result in explosions. This is very important to note.
Notable normals: Busujima’s jab consists of him doing two punches, a kick, and then a knife slash. For his up tilt, he performs a sommersalt kick. His up air is also a sommersalt kick. his neutral air has him performing a lariat attack. His forward tilt has him kicking forward as if he’s kicking down a door. His forward smash has him put both of his fists together to punch forward. He slashes upward with his knife for his up smash, and his down smash has him punching downward at an angle. For his dash attack, he’ll quickly roll forward. Busujima will grab an enemy by the shoulder (or for fighters that don’t have arms like Opa-Opa, whatever the closest approximation to an arm is for them) and punches them with his other hand. For his down throw, he’ll place the enemy in a leglock and slam them down to the ground with him. His up throw has him explode his opponent, launching them in the air.
Neutral Special: Shoot - When tapping the special button, Busujima will pull out his dual hand guns and begin shooting, dealing quick chip damage. Busujima can also move as he fires the handguns. If you hold the button, Busujima will take out the guitar case and begin charging up. Once the button is released, a rapid barrage of bullets will shoot from the guitar and pelt anyone in Busujima’s way.
Side Special: Weapon Roulette - Busujima will rotate between multiple different melee weapons in a set order, each of which with different effects and utilities. The weapon Busujima currently has equipped will show up next to his character portrait.
Axe - Busujima takes a large swing with his axe do deal massive damage.
Grenade - A grenade is thrown at a short distance, creating a decently-sized explosion.
Taser - Busujima takes out a taser and zaps his opponent with it. The attack deals minimal damage, but stuns the opponent in place for a short period of time.
Drill - Busujima takes out a drill and holds it in front of him, dealing rapid damage to the opponent.
Up Special: Busujima Uppercut - Busujima will launch himself in the air while performing an uppercut. When the special button is tapped again, he’ll slam both fists onto the ground, creating an explosion.
Down Special: Gasoline Ignition - Busujima will take out a container of gasoline and pour it in front of him, able to move freely as he drenches the floor with it. Once the floor is nice and wet, Busujima can use any of his firearm or explosion punch attacks to create a line of fire. Do keep in mind that this attack can also damage Busujima if he gets too close to the gasoline, and other fighters can also activate the gasoline if they use a firearm or fire-based attack near it. There’s also a limited supply of gas per stock, meaning if you run out, you can’t pour more until you get knocked out.
All-Star Move: Zombie Revenge - Busujima fires one shot from his handgun to activate his All-Star Move. If the bullet hits an opponent, it will trigger a cutscene where Stick and Linda fly in from a helicopter to assist their friend. They’ll gun down their target from the sky, after which Busujima will run up and deliver a finishing blow which results in a massive explosion.
Taunts:
- Busujima loads up his hand gun and holds it up at an angle
- Busujima shakes his fist in front of him and says “It’s not over yet!”
- Busujima says “I smell evil” as he holds his gun upwards and looks both ways.
Victory animations:
- Busujima stands straight with his gun by his side saying “You’re not afraid to die, are you?”
- Busujima looks up at the sky and says “What a beautiful moon”
- Busujima gets up off the ground and says “We’ve still got a lot to do!”
