I'm assuming that we're allowed to submit one from each - correct me if I'm wrong.Job #7: Submit A Capcom And/Or Shonen Jump Villain Character
For this job, please submit a villain character from capcom, shonen jump or both. Please submit the character, explain a bit about how they would fight, and why they should be in this game.
Shonen Jump: Raoh (Fist of the North Star)
The adopted older brother of Kenshiro, also known as Ken-Oh (King of Fists). Raoh is someone who seeks to bring order to the nuclear wasteland by any means necessary, earning the nickname "The Conqueror of Century's End". With the desire to become the strongest, and a mastery of Hokuto Shinken the likes of which hasn't been seen in over a thousand years, Raoh is ruthless towards most people, only showing a well-hidden soft side to those he cares about (his biological brother Toki, along with Yuria and eventually Kenshiro), and is a more complicated character than he appears to be at first glance.
Raoh is very much someone who fights with brute force and overwhelming power. He's a mountain of a man (nearly seven feet tall, though often drawn larger), and is one of the few fighters in Fist of the North Star who can use ki energy to create ranged blasts. In addition, he eventually unlocks the hidden technique Muso Tensei, rendering him untouchable, though this would likely just be a special move like it is in some video games.
Raoh has appeared in numerous video games, like the Arc System Works fighting game, J Stars Victory Versus, the Dynasty Warriors spin-off, the Yakuza spin-off, and Jump Ultimate Stars, so there's no shortage of material to work with.
Capcom: Vergil (Devil May Cry)
Clearly, I've got a theme going here, because Vergil is Dante's twin brother who has cast aside his humanity and craves more power, no matter what the cost is to the world. In contrast to Dante, who's wacky and fights with countless different weapons, Vergil takes himself completely seriously and almost entirely relies on Yamato, the sword that he inherited from their father Sparda.
There's plenty of material to draw from when it comes to including Vergil in a fighting game. He was in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which is already a solid base, and he's also playable in the special editions of Devil May Cry 3, 4, and 5. (here's his DMC4 moveset) He tends to fight with iaijutsu, or a quick-draw style, either hitting his enemies with his sheathed sword, or quickly drawing it from the sheathe, usually faster than the eye can follow. Yamato can somehow cut through space itself, allowing for long distance slashes, and in case his normal levels of power aren't enough, he can transform into a demonic state using Devil Trigger.
