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

[Collaterale1]

Ulala's Partner - Pudding

Ulala's rival from Space Channel 5. She is the news reporter of Channel 42, a broadcasting rival to Channel 5. Despite appearing in multiple crossovers, she never appeared in the PXZ games physically, so Pudding will be a perfect partner for her rival. As for how she plays, she would use her henchmen and Rocka Billy to attack any enemy with musical notes, and uses her Tennis Racket from SEGA Superstars Tennis as a weapon.​

Akira Yuki's Partner - Aoi Umenokoji

• Series: Virtua Fighter
• Company: SEGA
• Debut: Virtua Fighter 3 (July 20, 1996)
• Character Theme: Mai - Virtua Fighter 3
  • Speaking of, Akira would likely retain his iconic "Ride the Tiger" from Virtua Fighter 2, especially it's linked arrangement from Project X Zone 2.

Well, in the previous two PxZ games, Akira had both Pai Chan and Kage-Maru accompanying him respectively, so why not try to give him a new partner to focus on this tradition? (pardon me for a short post)

Aoi Umenokoji is one of the playable characters, who debuted in Virtua Fighter 3. She is the childhood friend of Akira Yuki himself, thanks to their fathers having been old friends who are both dojo owners, often sparring against each other as children, with Aoi resolving to enter the tournament herself and prove her fighting abilities after seeing Akira competing in it. Since the fourth tournament (Virtua Fighter 4), she gained a rivalry with the Italian kickboxer, Brad Burns, after his victory by frustrating her with his pick-up lines and overconfidence.

As a practitioner of Aiki-jūjutsu itself, Aoi has extensive training in several martial arts such as Aikido and Kobujutsu, allowing her to more effectively counter-attack and parry opponents' attacks with her reversal techniques (fun fact: she has the highest number of counters/reversals in a whole franchise). This pretty much works as a nice contrast to the brute force of Akira's offensive techniques with a gentle flow from her defense-based fighting style, even being able to spin and twirl in order to dodge attacks, akin to her hobby as a Japanese fan dancer.

Anyone's free to make a moveset for the Cielo siblings using a combo of fencing and wrestling moves if they want.

Phoenix Wright & Maya's Partner

Name: Miles Edgeworth
Series: Ace Attorney
Debut: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Character Theme: Great Revival - Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies

Although it can be said that Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey can work as a pair unit, if there were any other Ace Attorny characters that could act as Phoenix Wright's partner, I'd opt for Miles Edgeworth. Miles is Phoenix Wright's childhood friend who once had ambitions to follow his father's footsteps to become a defense attorney, however it wasn't until he was haunted by the past events of the DL-6 incident in which he had a recurring guilt that he was responsible for murdering his own which in fact appeared to be Manfred von Karma who took Miles in his wing to become a prosecutor.

I always wanted to see Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth paired since even though those two are considered rivals, they will always work together to seek nothing but to unravel the truth within the courtroom.

Job 27: Minor Bosses for Represented Franchises​

Before we get too crazy with bosses, let's start with minor bosses from the franchises we have now. We'll probably take 1 or 2 maximum for each franchise actually. So you may submit a maximum of 2 bosses, but both must be from different franchises. These characters will either be working under other minor bosses, or taking direct orders from a major boss (Geese Howard at the moment), or acting on their own right but not at the same scale as a major boss. We will do a voting round for bosses that are submitted from the same franchise!

 

[cashregister9]

Job 27

Lord Raptor and Coco ★ Tapioca

A Villain from Darkstalkers and Space Channel 5 both have appeared in past PxZ games.

 

[Perkilator]

Job #27: Minor boss

Billy Kane (Fatal Fury)

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Yasha (Sakura Wars series)

A major part of Sakura A's arc in Sakura Wars 2019 is dealing with Yasha, she's one of the main antagonist of that games underlings.
Since none of the other Sakura wars villains in PXZ were major villains i dont see her being one either.

Pandora (Kid Icarus series)

She's one of the underworld bosses in the Kid Icarus series. I tried thinking of what good minor Kid Icarus villains would fit here, so i picked her.

 

[airConditioner]

Albedo (Xenosaga)

Spoiler: yo rubedo

If you know anything about Xenosaga outside of crossovers T-elos is like probably the least important character and yet they hype her up a lot. I'd prefer if we have Albedo, who is 1. a super recurring villain, to the point where he is basically the final boss of the first TWO out of THREE games and 2. has a more interesting personality than "I want to make KOS-MOS part of me."

Anyways he'd fight mostly in his normal form with powerful physical attacks, but he'd also use his own E.S. craft (E.S. Simeon) at times. I don't think you actually fight the Simeon at any point in Xenosaga but I'd imagine it would pop in and out similar to how Devilotte worked in PXZ1. Storywise he'd be pretty flexible. He originally works for UTIC in the first game so I'd imagine he would easily be one of Geese's subordinates, but he could also work standalone. This man has no moral qualms about anything but he still has some principles.

Ryuji Yamazaki (Fatal Fury)

Billy makes more sense since he is Geese's loyal subordinate but idk I wanna see some weirdos as Geese's subordinates. I think it would be funny to have Yamazaki working with another boss though. It was hard picking which Fatally Furious villain to pick since I really like Kain too but in the end I will go with Yamazaki and also having him in a post with Albedo kinda makes sense thematically anyway

Job 27

Wild Fang - Time Crisis

Wild Fang has been one of the prominent secondary boss villain characters since he was first introduced back in Time Crisis 3. In Time Crisis 5, he is equipped with a modified leg that is capable of firing missiles and solar generators attached on his back that can create solar energy orbs.

Judgement - House of the Dead 2

Also referred to as "Type-28" and a creation made by Caleb Goldman that consisted of Zeal, an imp like creature who is controlling the headless axe wielding giant named Kuarl.

While these are great, let's wait to get some representation first or a job specifically for these characters :')

 

[Collaterale1]

F.A.N.G from Street Fighter V. He is the newest member of Shadaloo, who fights with Chinese Kenpo, infused with the ability to shoot poison. He replaced Sagat as the new Shadaloo King after his defection. In PXZ3, he would have continue with his now dead master's plan of dominating the world with fear and technology, despite being such a bizarre person to anyone.

PS: I know Bison is not really dead per say, he has his physical body destroyed twice in Namco x Capcom and PXZ2.

B.B. Hood/Bulleta from Darkstalkers. Since she was hired by Bison in the previous game, it is only a matter of time for Geese to hire her as a spy to keep eye on the heroes, waiting for the right moment to appear with her own line of army.

 

[dezeray112]

While these are great, let's wait to get some representation first or a job specifically for these characters :')

OK, I've decided I want to change my characters:

Bishamon - Darkstalkers

Seeing that Raptor and B.B. Hood had been requested, there is another Darkstalkers villain that had not been represented within any of the Project X Zone games. Meet Bishamon, an accursed samurai ghost whose mind is colluded with hatred to anyone who wore the demonic armor called Hannya and the demonic blade called Kien that thirsts for the bloodshed of his victims.

Urien - Street Fighter III

Urien is an antagonist from Street Fighter III and brother to the main emperor of the Illuminati led by Gill in which he has plans to overthrow him in order to become the next leader of his group.

 

[Deleted member]

Akuma
Akuma is an iconic villian, but his story is much more personal to Ryu than other characters. He'd show up to do his thing, not really allying with anyone.

Ramirez
A major villian from Skies of Arcaida. He would ally with other villians on his quest of human eradication. He would also seek revenge on Vyse.

 

[airConditioner]

OK Cool!! So we have a bunch of baddies running loose, namely:

• Coco★Tapioca (Space Channel 5)
• Yasha (Sakura Wars)
• Albedo (Xenosaga)
• Ramirez (Skies of Arcadia)

And we have multiple submissions for these series:

• Darkstalkers
  • Lord Raptor
  • B.B. Hood
  • Bishamon
• Fatal Fury
  • Billy Kane
  • Ryuji Yamazaki
• Street Fighter
  • F.A.N.G.
  • Urien
  • Akuma

So while we're only going to have 1 minor boss per series right now, it's most likely guaranteed we'll have more in the future. We just need to see what bosses we have then and what series are present in our roster then. So nearing the middle and the end we will have the chance to assess what bosses we will need and/or like to have. Again, a lot of these bosses are great and we will have the chance to revisit the ones we don't vote in now later on.

Please vote for your favorite fighting game boss per series like so (also you can vote for your own since I don't see the harm in doing so rn):

Darkstalkers: Bishamon
Fatal Fury: Ryuji Yamazaki
Street Fighter: Urien

Well... with all these villains surely can't run around forever. We have yet another job involving our loner characters~

Job 30 28: Pick which of our unpaired characters to be solo​

I have dreaded this one because I don't really know how to do it. Anyways we have 4 (5) unpaired characters and we NEED to figure out who should be a solo unit. This one will run concurrently with the rival unit voting so: when you make your submission, please give a number and the characters that you want to be solo. This one is weird but I want to empty this pool as soon as possible. So for example:

3: Dante, Ulala, and Morrigan

So yeah. Hahahaha. Do that I guess and we'll see you Sunday for the actual fun job.

Hey everyone sorry for the radio silence in the what, 20 or so hours? I had a pretty busy day with personal things and while I expected to be able to squeeze in time to close this job and start the next, I didn't. I'll be able to tomorrow most likely.

Hmm

Our fighting game rivals (for now) will be:
From Darkstalkers: B.B. Hood
From Fatal Fury: Ryuji Yamazaki
From Street Fighter: F.A.N.G.

and..

The votes seem to be in a resounding agreement to make Ulala a solo unit, so we'll do that. Ulala will now be ineligible for a partner. Her moveset will be open as well. Please keep in mind Ulala's previous movesets, as well as osby 's original pitch for Ulala.

Job #4: Ulala (Space Channel 5) - SEGA

View attachment 344763

Ulala is an intergalactic news reporter who made her debut as the protagonist of the 1999 rhythm game Space Channel 5. While her skill set is simple as a solo unit (her Tension Blaster laser guns from her first game and her electro guitar from her second game), Ulala has a unique gimmick as she calls various retro SEGA characters to the news scene to help her in battle.

Aside from gaining a new, neon yellow-colored outfit from her latest game Space Channel 5 VR: Kinda Funky News Flash!, she would also gain a new set of three characters to aid her in battle, just like she did in PXZ2. These characters could be;

An F-14 Tomcat jet airplane that would fire missiles (Afterburner)​

A red penguin that would push giant ice blocks (Pengo)​

Mary, a red-clad woman with a jetpack, launches several shots from a bazooka (Quartet)​

I think Ulala makes perfect sense as a veteran. Her games are among some of the most iconic titles of Dreamcast, she has a large number of crossover appearances under her belt, she appeared in both previous entries and she's a fun character with enduring popularity.

Additionally, we will be eventually opening jobs for Dante, Morrigan, and Phoenix/Maya's partners. Provided something doesn't get in the way... oh MY GOD WHAT IS THAT!!

Job Number 29. Our First Mixed Company Pair​

You heard that right. We'll be pairing up characters from different companies! Pick a character, any character. And pair them with a character that's from a different company. Any character, so long as they aren't solos or pairs already are eligible. This includes Dante, Morrigan, and Phoenix/Maya. Usually characters have themes or some kind of pre-existing relations that make them great mixed pairs. For example: Fiora and KOS-MOS in PXZ2 were paired due to the relations between their games, and Chun-Li and Xiaoyu have a pretty easy to spot theme. HOWEVER!! Once we decide our pair here, these two companies will not be able to be paired up again. So.. if we were to pair up a Capcom and Sega character now, this pairing will be ineligible for all future mixed pairing jobs. And as always, include names, companies (!), origins, what they're based on, etc. See you tomorrow for voting!
