SmashBoards creates - Project X Zone 3: Fractured Bloodlines (Current Job: Chapter 1)

[PastaRorroKuma]

My wifi is so ****ty rn that I can't attach images, I'll attach them and the music when I can.

Spoiler: Pair

Nightmare & Rick Taylor

Origins: Splatterhouse (1988)
Soul Edge (1995)

Why?
Well, Soul Calibur is one of Namco's most iconic franchises, Splatterhouse while more obscure is also beloved, these two make a good pairing since they are a completely out of left field concept.

Spoiler: Solo

Bravoman

Origins: Bravoman (1988)

Why?
Cuz he's cool

• Name: Cassandra Alexandra & Yoshimitsu
• Origin:
  • Cassandra: Soul Edge (1995); appears only in Sophitia's Egde Master ending
  • Yoshimitsu: Tekken (1994)
• What they're based on:
  • Cassandra: Soul Calibur II (2002)
  • Yoshimitsu: Tekken 6 (1996)
• Reason: The name Yoshimitsu also belongs to the ancestor of the Tekken incarnation, so I figured it would be a hoot to pair Tekken Yoshimitsu with someone from the time of Soul Calibur Yoshimitsu.
• Music:
  • Unwavering Resolve (Cassandra)
  • Yoshimitsu

• Name: Richard Miller
• Origin: Time Crisis (1995)
• What they're based on: Time Crisis (1995)
• Reason: I always thought it was kinda sad that Time Crisis never really got anything in the previous games (not even Namco x Capcom), so I was aiming to have the series finally hit its PxZ stride in Fractured Bloodlines (credit to @dezeray112 for the idea)
• Music: 2nd Theme from Time Crisis

Submitting an old one.

Louis Amamiya and Mia Karnstein
From Code Vein. The game focuses on Revenants: human corpses brought back to life via a parasite in order to fight monsters We should have some newer Namco ips in here and this one fits pretty well.

IO
Also from Code Vein.

[ssbashworld]

Power Stone is from Capcom

Sorry misread the the part about different franchises, didnt realize they had to both be from namco.
In that case will my change Mitsurgi's partner to Arthur who previously replaced Mitsurgi in certain regions for a few SoulCal games.

Job #54: Genesis-era Pair and Solo
​

There's not that much classic Genesis representation as far as SEGA goes, so this job is going to be about that.

View attachment 355034View attachment 355033

• Name: Axel Stone & Blaze Fielding
• Origin: Streets of Rage (1991)
• What they're based on: Streets of Rage 4 (2020)
• Reason: Axel appeared in PxZ2 as a Solo Unit, so I thought it appropriate to promote him to a Pair Unit with Blaze.
• Music:
  • Go Straight! (Axel)
  • Funky HQ (Blaze)

• Name: Gillius Thunderhead
• Origin: Golden Axe (1989)
• Reason: I dunno, he's just the first character who came to mind in terms of Genesis-era characters (at least from series that weren't featured in PxZ yet) that could work as a Solo Unit.
• Music: Wilderness

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

• Name: Joe Musashi
• Origin: Shinobi (1987)
• Reason: I like a lot Hotsuma but I think Joe should also have a chance to be relevant after the unsucessful remake of 2013.
• Music: Intro Theme (Shinobi III)

I don't have more ideas for pairs.

Spoiler

Nei and Rolf (Phantasy Star III)
It's kind of crazy that these games have never had any PS characters.

Sketch Turner
These games always have at least one odd ball pick. Comix Zone is weirdly prevalent in sega stuff.

I was gonna suggest Sketch as well, i really like the asthetic of Comix zone.

 

[ssbashworld]

Will also nominate Gillius but will pair him with Centurion from Altered Beast, a series with ties to Golden Axe

Solo unit nominee is Casey from Kid Chameleon (honorable mention to Red from Gunstar Heroes)

Job #55: Atlus Solo​

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

• Name: Hibiki Kuze
• Origin: Devil Survivor 2 (2011)
• Reason: I didnt wanted to submit another character from Persona (even if I think there are some good options like Yu or Aigis) and SMT is cool but I think a pair would be cooler, so I will submit something of the usually left behind Devil Survivor, if Atlus revive Soul Hackers of all things then Devil Survivor could probably have a return soon (I hope).
• Music: Shining One (Devil Survivor 2)

 

[Deleted member]

Raidou Kuzunoha
Another SMT sub seires. But this one has a very different vibe to the sci-fi Ringo. A supernatural detective from the Taishō period of Japan. He is a pretty popular character and would be easy to slide into this game.

 

[Perkilator]

• Name: Aigis
• Origin: Persona 3 (2006)
• Reason: Similarly to Gilius, Aigis was the first thing that came to my mind when it came to Atlus Solo Units.
• Music: Mass Destruction

 

[ssbashworld]

Going to go outside the smt related series & nominate Vincent from Catherine
