History Characters / ProjectXZone2BraveNewWorld

* EqualOpportunityVillain: He's worked and hired quite a lot of villains in this game. Notably, he has access to the [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Dural clones]], reprograms the [[VideoGame/GodsEaterBurst God Arc soldiers]], has access to the bio-terrorist viruses, one of it being Thanatos, and hires [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} B.B. Hood]] to kill Phoenix and frame Heihachi just to name a few.

* NotSoHarmless: While normally he and Tetsujin are only used as training opponents for you to beat up on, you need to fight them normally as a part of a challenge mission: Mokujin has maximum possible HP but near-zero defense while Tetsujin has massive amounts of defense but only barely over 1000 HP and they both can deal damage compareable to other enemies in the mission.

* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: It's their trademark after all. In-story, he delivers this to both Saya and Shadow. Both undergo a VillainousBreakdown, though Saya recovers very quickly.

* CanineCompanion: Hotsuma can summon one for a few attacks.

* StepfordSmiler: Demitri after he and Morrigan do their MAP attack.

* PrecisionFStrike: While the rest of the game doesn't shy away from swearing in general, it's still somewhat notable and fitting when Majima calls Bison a "shithead" towards the end of the game. When he he fails to defeat an enemy, he drops a "Sonnuva BITCH."

!! [[VideoGame/LegendOfTheValkyrie Kamuz]]

* BossRush: [[spoiler: In the final chapter, he is fought alongside [[VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}} Metal Face]], [[VideoGame/SakuraWars Ranmaru]], [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Pyron]], and [[VideoGame/LegendOfTheValkyrie Kamuz]].]]

* BossRush: [[spoiler: In the final chapter, he is fought alongside [[VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}} Metal Face]], [[VideoGame/SakuraWars Ranmaru]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX4 Sigma]], and [[VideoGame/LegendOfTheValkyrie Kamuz]].]]

* BossRush: [[spoiler: In the final chapter, he is fought alongside [[VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}} Metal Face]], [[VideoGame/MegaManX4 Sigma]], [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Pyron]], and [[VideoGame/LegendOfTheValkyrie Kamuz]].]]

* BossRush: [[spoiler: In the final chapter, he is fought alongside [[VideoGame/MegaManX4 Sigma]], [[VideoGame/SakuraWars Ranmaru]], [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Pyron]], and [[VideoGame/LegendOfTheValkyrie Kamuz]].]]

--> '''Voiced by''': JunkoMinagawa

* LimitBreak: Bushin Soutenha/Twin Wave, a dual Mystic Arte exclusive to the PS3 Japan-only UpdatedRerelease of ''Vesperia'', where Flynn was PromotedToPlayable. For their MAP attack, they perform their main Mystic Artes (Savage Wolf Fury and Radiant Dragon Fang) one after the other.

* PlayingWithFire: Majima will pull out a flamethrower and gleefully roast his enemies.

* CrossCounter: As a ShoutOut to Tekken 6's second arcade opening and Bandai Namco's current logo, Kazuya ends their Fated Combination LimitBreak by partaking in one against Jin... with the enemies in the middle.

* PunchParry: Jin and Kazuya do this to each other at the end of their super move, except the unfortunate enemy falls right between their incoming fists.

* BattleAura: Demitri, which he brags about it being the aura of nobility. Mocked by Morrigan who snarks that he can't "turn it off".

* BloodKnight: To the point of being connoisseurs. Morrigan goes by how much fun she has kicking her opponents ass, Demitri only cares if they can bleed at all and can be picky of the type.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Hiryu's Cypher Blade and Hotsuma's Akujiki.

* MundaneSolution: When the floor everyone is on is lined with time bombs, Axel demonstrates the best way to disarm them is to simple smash them, however dangerous it sounds.

* CreepyChild: If going by appearances. She appears innocent and cute, then would go into AxCrazy complete with a SlasherSmile the next moment.

* TokenReligiousTeammate: One of her counter quotes has her praying to God. Justified since she is a nun.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Both of them are demon nobles of the highest rank, and can kick serious ass.

* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: Ex-soldier, teacher, summoner, has some training in ninjitsu and dancing.

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: She's a demon rabbit.

** "Engage The Enemy" from Xenoblade is also present.

* SuperMode: Haseo uses his Skeith Form in their MAP attack.

* CatchAndReturn: When Dante throws Rebellion using Round Trip, his brother is on the other side, catching and throwing it back at Dante, who also catches it.
* DoomedByCanon: Subverted concering Vergil's eventual transformation into Nelo Angelo.

** "Vergil Battle 3" from ''Devil May Cry 3'' (also used in their Special Attack). Notably, this BGM was remixed multiple times as Vergil's themes in recent games.

* LovableSexManiac: Vashyron, which was one of the reasons Alisa made sure to put him in a transport shell with only men.

* MorphWeapon: As per the usual with God Eaters.

* BadassNormal: Kage-Maru, compared to the other ninja in the game.

* BigLittleBrother: Although Vergil is the older sibling, Dante age-wise is much older in his appearance. Lampshaded by Akira when Vergil appears for the first time.

* OffModel: Slight example: the short animation in their LimitBreak shows them preparing to fire a charged shot, with Vergil holding Ebony GangstaStyle. The actual sprites have Dante do it instead with Ivory.

* YouLookFamiliar: In a sense, when they note how Nelo Angelo has similar energy signals to Sparda, unaware of how Nelo is Vergil circa ''Devil May Cry 1''.

* ThePowerOfLove: Their MAP attack amounts to this.

* ActionSurvivor: Phoenix as he's dragged around by these crazy adventures thanks to Bulletta targeting him.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Despite being from the 1600s, she talks like a modern day {{Tomboy}} teenager. Albeit one who has no idea how to handle technology.

* TheCameo: During his attack animation, Commando summons the assistance of Michelle Heart from ''VideoGame/LegendaryWings'', Cyber Blue from ''VideoGame/BattleCircuit'' and the Colonel and Sargent {{Space Fighter}}s from ''Exed Exes''. He's more or less a walking ShoutOut to Capcom's earlier arcade titles, just as Ulala is with Sega's.
* CoolGuns: He wips out a missile launcher from his arcade game as part of his Solo attack.

* DemotedToExtra: Is now a Solo Unit to make room for Ciel and Nana. Soma's whereabouts are unknown.

[[folder: New pair units]]

New characters being introduced in this game are noted with asterisk (*).

!! [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima*]]
--> '''Kazuya voiced by''': Masanori Shinohara

* ArchnemesisDad: Kazuya is one to Jin, while his own, Heihachi, is a Solo Unit. Having all three makes one happy BigScrewedUpFamily.
* BadassBoast: One of the liners they drop when performing Fated Combination:
--> '''Kazuya''': Pray to your god, for all the good it will do you!
--> '''Jin''': You're headed straight to hell!
* TheBusCameBack: Slightly overlaps with RedemptionPromotion; Kazuya went from being a Rival in ''NamcoXCapcom'', to missing the original game, to returning as a Pair Unit in ''Brave New World.'' Apparently, he was stuck in the Makai realm, trying to harness the power of the Devil Gene.
* CallingYourAttacks: Tekken characters ''never'' do this, but Kazuya makes an exception by shouting ''"DEVIL BLASTER!!!"'' in their MAP attack.
* CrossCounter: As a ShoutOut to Tekken 6's second arcade opening and Bandai Namco's current logo, Kazuya ends their Fated Combination LimitBreak by partaking in one against Jin... with the enemies in the middle.
* EnemyMine: Circumstances have forced them to work together; neither is happy about it when they and Heihachi meet each other in the Darkstalkers universe.
* EyeBeams: Kazuya uses this when in Devil form.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrI2eSQbBYI "Burning", the opening of ''Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion'']] (also used for their Special and Multi Attacks)
** ''Jin Kazama''
* MythologyGag: Their Super Attack. See CrossCounter above.
* NotSoDifferent: They both equally hate Heihachi, and their victory conversation together has Jin suggest that Heihachi's old bones probably can't keep up with them, while Kazuya adds that he'll be playing bingo in a retirement home soon. Heihachi notes that their hatred is one of the few things they can agree on.
* SuperMode: Kazuya turns into Devil Kazuya for one of their standard attacks and their MAP attack.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Jin and Kazuya REALLY don't like each other, but are made to team up anyway, much to their disgust.
* UnfriendlyFire: On both ends. Jin's drop kick during their Special Attack hits Kazuya as well, and Kazuya attacks both the enemies AND Jin with his Devil Blaster in their MAP attack.

!! [[VideoGame/{{Strider}} Strider Hiryu]]* and [[VideoGame/{{Shinobi}} Hotsuma]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': KosukeToriumi and DaisukeKishio

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Hiryu's Cypher Blade and Hotsuma's Akujiki.
* AttackDrone: Hiryu brings forth his Options, as usual.
** OrbitingParticleShield: His Ouroboros move where he summons 2 Option Bs to spin around him and fire RingsOfDeath as he attacks.
* BadassArmFold: One of Hiryu's dialog portraits sport this. This is also Hotsuma's idle pose.
* BladeSpam: Their special in a nutshell. Hiryu finishes it with his Ragnarok Hyper Combo from MarvelVsCapcom.
* TheBusCameBack: Hiryu went from a playable unit in ''NamcoXCapcom'', to missing the first game, to return as a pair for ''Brave New World.''
* CanineCompanion: Hotsuma can summon one for a few attacks.
* CoolSword: Both of them: Hiryu has his plasma-blade Cypher whilst Hotsuma possesses the life-stealing blade Akujiki.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Hiryu's suggestion on getting away from the Balrog? Do it the exact same way they first did it in ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'': launch themselves from the catapult to Miyuki's ship. Everyone who had to do it before just gave up trying to justify it to the newcomers.
* CyberNinja: Hiryu is a ninja who brings out futuristic gadgets and robots in battle.
* FlashStep: Hiryu performs his Vajra move, where he moves fast enough to create copies of himself. Hotsuma also performs quick flash steps when he attacks which leaves afterimages in his wake.
* {{Ninja}}: What both of them are if it wasn't obvious looking at them. Specifically, they are Capcom and Sega's representatives (aside from Hibana and Kage-maru) while Natsu is Bandai Namco's.

** "Raid!" from ''Strider'' (also used in their Special Attack)
** "Patience" from the [=PlayStation 2=] ''Shinobi'' game (also used in their Multi Attack)
* OddFriendship: Strider seems to be fond of Valkyrie. He offers her his scarf if you have them team up and asks her if she wants him to kill Kamuz in Chapter 20.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Both sport a similar long, red scarf of badassery. If you team them up with Valkyrie, she'll compliment them on their wonderful mufflers, leading Hiryu to offer her his if she wants it; Hotsuma's is apparently off-limits, though, as he claims that it's become "a part of him".
* SwordBeam: Hiryu uses the "Boost" technique from ''Strider 2'' in their MAP attack, releasing a number of multi-colored plasma waves at his enemies.
* WallCrawl: Hiryu can do this on the side of the screen. Somehow.

!! [[Videogame/{{Yakuza}} Kazuma Kiryu* and Goro Majima]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': TakayaKuroda and Hidenari Ugaki

* BadassInANiceSuit: Kiryu's outfit is very sharp and stylish.
* BadassNormal: Probably the most prominent examples. At first glance, they appear to be just yakuza. (Well ''ex-''yakuza in Kiryu's case.) Then you play their games and realize they are anything but. Not including the fact that they ''have fought zombies before''.
* BadassBoast: When Majima learns that Shadaloo is behind the Kamurucho outbreak:
--> '''Majima''': ''Shadaloo, huh?... A few knives in a few ribs, and maybe they'll reconsider.''
** This becomes a BrickJoke later, when Kiryu and Majima join Ryu and Ken in fighting Bison on top of the [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Millennium Tower]] near the game's climax.
* BigDamnHeroes: When Phoenix and Maya are surrounded by a lot of zombies, Majima and Heihachi do this trope to rescue them. Kiryu later blows up a van to save the four of them down the line.
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: When Thanatos spreads amongst Kamurucho, Kiryu wonders if he should resume fighting, having gone on the straight and narrow. Majima understands, but uses this trope to convince Kiryu to take up arms in the city's defense.
* ChainsawGood: Majima brandishes this a few times in their attacks.
* CoolGuns: Majima has a riot shotgun and Kiryu has an ''anti-material rifle'', although he has [[DoesNotLikeGuns his reservations on firearms.]] Lampshaded by Chris and Jill, who are surprised they can find those kinds of weapons in Japan. However, as they are taken from the events of ''Dead Souls'', their use of weapons are justified.
* DynamicEntry: How does Kiryu save Majima, Phoenix, Maya, and Heihachi from a horde of zombies? ''Blow up the van near them.''
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Majima's signature HEAT attack as a boss, where he spins around like a top while sticking his knife out, serves as one of his last attacks, and shows up in their Special Attack.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: They seem to have been taken from the point in their timeline when ''Yakuza: Dead Souls'' was going on: Kiryu and Majima wield their guns from that game and their section of Kamurocho is ravaged with [[NotUsingTheZWord ''them''.]]
* EyepatchOfPower: Majima.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Despite being from the gun-centric ''Dead Souls'' iteration of the series, Kiryu still uses a good deal of his hand-to-hand skills and [[BattleAura Heat attacks]], including his [[LimitBreak "Komaki Dragon King" kick]] from ''Yakuza 5'' during his super attack.
* GrenadeSpam: Majima tosses several grenades at his foes in their MAP attack.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Kiryu ends their support attack with him slicing a katana towards the enemy.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: HEAT Sniping, where Kiryu uses his rifle to shoot and detonate Majima's grenades in their MAP attack.
* IOweYouMyLife: Majima is very grateful of Phoenix as he got Majima innocent on a previous case, implied to be his incarceration in ''Yakuza 4.''
* JapanesePronouns: Kiryu uses "nii-san" (brother) when addressing Majima. On the other hand, Majima uses a more affectionate "Kiryu-chan", localized as Kazzy.
* KnifeNut: Majima is this, being the Yakuza series' AxCrazy maniac.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: How Kiryu finishes their special, drawn in the graphical style of the first game's cover art.

** "Tatakai no Theme/Theme of Battle" (aka Kiryu's theme) from ''Yakuza: Dead Souls'' (also used for their Multi Attack)
** "Funk goes on" from the first ''Yakuza'' game (also used in their Special Attack).
* LimitBreak: Some of their HEAT attacks are present in-game in different combinations. Kiryu's Lotus Palm Strike and Majima's knife spin are the last set of attacks they learn, Kiryu performs his Komaki Dragon Kick alongside the aforementioned knife spin and they perform the HEAT Sniping gimmick from ''Dead Souls'' in their MAP attack.
* LovableSexManiac: Majima towards some of the female cast. When Felicia is partnered with him and Kiryu, she comments how she was going to perform a special dance before the fight, then Majima comments that he's tempted to slip her some cash but can't figure out where to put it in. Generally speaking, he does get away more with this behavior than Ogami and Vashyron.
* PrecisionFStrike: While the rest of the game doesn't shy away from swearing in general, it's still somewhat notable and fitting when Majima calls Bison a "shithead" towards the end of the game.
** He also belts out "Motherf---" at Demitri's party, when it turns out the men are forced to foot the bill for Sylphie and Miyuki's catering.
* RedOniBlueOni: Majima and Kiryu, respectively.
* RedBaron: Respectively known as "the Dragon of Dojima" and "The Mad Dog of the Shimano Family". Heihachi is at familiar with both of their reputations through their monikers alone. In their pre-battle conversation, Kiryu responds by calling Heihachi "The King of the Iron First", while Majima comments that their nicknames sound like the boxing match of the century.
* ShipperOnDeck: Majima refers to Maya Fey, in different ways, as Phoenix Wright's girlfriend.
* SlasherSmile: Majima gives one while tossing grenades.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: One of Kiryu's moves is a wrestling backbreaker. He even launches people into the air with a giant swing for their MAP attack.
* {{Yakuza}}: It's the name of their home series in the West, for God's sake.

!! [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante and Vergil]]*
--> '''Vergil voiced by''': Creator/HiroakiHirata

* BadassLongcoat: One red and one blue.
* {{BFG}}: Dante brings Kalina Ann with him this time.
* BigLittleBrother: Although Vergil is the older sibling, Dante age-wise is much older in his appearance. Lampshaded by Akira when Vergil appears for the first time.
* CatchAndReturn: When Dante throws Rebellion using Round Trip, his brother is on the other side, catching and throwing it back at Dante, who also catches it.
* GunFu: Dante during his Rainstorm move. He suggests Leon to try it out if paired while Vergil [[DoesNotLikeGuns declares this trope "the height of vulgarity"]].
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Vergil with his [[KatanasAreJustBetter Yamato,]] as usual.

** "Ultra Violet" (also used in their Multi Attack)
** "Vergil Battle 3" from ''Devil May Cry 3'' (also used in their Special Attack). Notably, this BGM was remixed multiple times as Vergil's themes in recent games.
* MusicalAssassin: Dante uses Nevan for their support attack.
* MythologyGag: Their super attack's finale[[note]]where Vergil takes up Dante's Ebony and then the two simultaneously fires a powerful shot with their arms aligned together[[/note]] completely mimics the "Jackpot" moment from ''Devil May Cry 3''.
** To boot, their MAP attack uses Dante's Level 3 hyper combo from MarvelVsCapcom3, "Devils Must Die".
* NamedWeapons: Pair them up with Captain Commando and Dante name drops Ifrit while Vergil mentions about Beowulf. They both don't have it in this game however.
** Aside from the aforementioned Dante's, Vergil brings his Yamato and Force Edge to this game.
* NotQuiteDead: Despite Nelo Angelo being present and Dante having his [=DMC1=] appearance, Vergil seems to be quite alive. Turns out this Vergil comes from a time when he separated from Dante for only half a day after slicing Dante's hand.
* OffModel: Slight example: the short animation in their LimitBreak shows them preparing to fire a charged shot, with Vergil holding Ebony GangstaStyle. The actual sprites have Dante do it instead with Ivory.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Dante when he sees Vergil again, as Ulala lampshades.
* RedOniBlueOni: [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience Guess who.]] One has a BFS and multiple weapons (including firearms) while another sticks with a katana and magic swords. If they're paired with Ingrid, she also points out that the hero being the red one is unusual in her post-battle quote.
* SuperMode: Devil Trigger.
* StormOfBlades: Vergil's Summoned Swords.
* TagTeamTwins: Would count as an EnemyMine situation... except this Vergil is from post-Devil May Cry 3 where he separates from his brother for only half a day and hasn't found Mundus yet.

!! [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom* and Lucina*]]
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/TomokazuSugita and Creator/YuuKobayashi

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething The Exalt]] and [[BadassPrincess Princess of Ylisse]]
* BladeOnAStick: Both Chrom and Lucina make extensive use of lances in addition to swords. Chrom can do so as a Lord, but Lucina always changes into the [[KickingAssInAllHerFinery Bride class]] to use them.[[note]]Ironic, considering Lucina's class is also Lord, which promotes to Great Lord, which allows use of swords and lances[[/note]]
* BowAndSwordInAccord: Lucina normally uses a sword, but occasionally she switches to the Bride class to use a bow.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Lucina can change into the Bride class for her lance attacks, even though she can technically use lances as a Lord.
* ContinuitySnarl: A slight one. Chrom and Lucina are introduced as the Prince of Ylisse and his daughter. In ''Awakening'', Lucina didn't reveal her parentage until after Chrom became Exalt.
* CoolSword: Falchion and Parallel Falchion, as well as a Levin Sword.
* GuestFighter: The ''Fire Emblem'' series they originate from is copyrighted by Nintendo.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Lucina's mere presence counts due to her identity as Chrom's daughter from the future.

** "Conquest (Ablaze)" (also used for their Multi Attack)
** "Divine Decree (Ablaze)" (also used for their Special Attack)
* MythologyGag: Their super attack ends with a shot mimicking their game's cover art, albeit without Lucina wearing her mask.
* ShockAndAwe: Both Chrom and Lucina use the Levin Sword to summon lightning.
* TitleDrop: Their special attack is literally titled [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fire Emblem: Awakening.]]

!! [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Demitri Maximoff and Morrigan Aensland]]

* BatOutOfHell: And two of them too!
* BloodKnight: To the point of being connoisseurs. Morrigan goes by how much fun she has kicking her opponents ass, Demitri only cares if they can bleed at all and can be picky of the type.
* EnemyMine: Their first meeting has Demitri challenge Morrigan to determine the Makai realm's new ruler. Then Phoenix, Maya, BB Hood and the rest of the party arrive to mess their plans up.
* FacePalm: Like in the previous game, Demitri has dialogue art specially reserved for this.

** "Feast of the Damned" (also used for their Special Attack)
** "Deserted Chateau" (also used for their Multi Attack)
* PlayingWithFire: Demitri's Chaos Flare
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Both of them are demon nobles of the highest rank, and can kick serious ass.
* StepfordSmiler: Demitri after he and Morrigan do their MAP attack.
* ThisIsADrill: Morrigan's Valkyrie Turn and Demitri's Bat Spin, from both sides!

!! [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun-li]] and [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Ling Xiaoyu]]

* AnimeChineseGirl: Both are one.
* ApologeticAttacker: Chun-Li uses her famous "Gomen ne!" taunt during their super attack. [[CherryTapping And it does damage.]]
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Much to Chun-Li's chagrin, Xiaoyu uses a lot of the former's catchphrase.
* CrutchCharacter: Available very early, is the first unit that will get a MAP attack that targets 4 enemies right from the word go, and will eat up a lot of the grunts if players let them, leaving behind the other characters and their much needed experience. Considering some of them don't get a MAP attack until the plot gives it to them, they'll really fall behind when the latter chapters come up and they're forced into the party.
* CulturalStereotypes: Pair them up with Pai Chan and they all star making FunnyBruceLeeNoises, which Chun-Li [[LampshadeHanging lampshades.]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: Chun-Li tells Xiaoyu that's she's gonna protect her after the latter accidentally barged in on a confrontation between the former and a Shadowloo-Ouma meeting.
* GoombaStomp: Both of them do this with Xiaoyu doing an exaggerated version of this in their LimitBreak.
* HypocriticalHumor: In a post-victory quote, Chun-Li tells Xiaoyu not to say that all of the men must kneel before them. Pair them up with Valkyrie and Chun-Li will say that line with Xiaoyu commenting that the quote came out of nowhere.
* KickChick: Chun-Li as always.

** Chun-Li adopted the Volcanic Rim theme from ''Street Fighter IV'' (also used for their Multi Attack).
** Xiaoyu's theme is the intro music for ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' (also used for their Special Attack).
* RunningGag: Anytime Chun-Li and Reiji meet, it's always at Shibuya for some reason.

!! [[Franchise/DotHack Kite and Haseo]]*
--> '''Haseo voiced by''': Creator/TakahiroSakurai

* {{BFS}}: One of Haseo's weapons, with ChainsawGood added to the mix.
* DelayedReaction: When Kite and Haseo lead the party back into the real world, Haseo assures that they are indeed in the real world. After all, character graphics are still smooth and sharp and... hey wait...
* DualWielding: Both Kite and Haseo can dual-wield blades.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Several characters comment on how excessively... designed Haseo's outfit is.

** "Stairs of Time" (also used in their Special Attack)
** "Yasashi Ryoute", the ending theme to ''.hack///G.U. Volume 1'' (also used in their Multi Attack)
* ReverseGrip: Both Kite and Haseo use dual blades in this fashion.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Haseo can't wrap his head around time travel, so by the time the ''Resonance of Fate'' crew and Alisa show up:
--> '''Haseo''': ''Oh my god, PK me now.''
** {{Irony}}: Considering he's a Player Killer ''Killer'', this is even more hilarious than what it should be.
* SinisterScythe: One of Haseo's weapons. In particular, he uses the Lost Weapon, Ticking Death.
* SuperMode: Haseo uses his Skeith Form in their MAP attack.
* TimeSkip: For Haseo, it's been seven years since Kite's adventures.

!! [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Yuri Lowell and Flynn Scifo]]

* ATasteOfPower: The first pair that has access to MAP attacks. Naturally, they're the final unit to join the roster, though they're still just as good as when they started.
* BadassCreed: Flynn can join in on Yuri's creed as they both perform Savage Wolf Fury.
* DeadpanSnarker: It's Yuri Lowell. This is kind of expected from him.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Yuri fought MemeticBadass Sanger in the first game to a standstill. In this game, he says that he isn't playing games, which invokes the wrath of ''another'' MemeticBadass and properly beats down Segata Sanshiro.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Both of them since childhood have been together.

** "Fury Sparks" (also used in their Special Attack)
** "Furnace of War" (also used in their Multi Attack)
* LetsYouAndHimFight: He and Flynn get to fight Segata in his first appearance after Yuri accidentally pushes Segata's BerserkButton. Yuri references Sanger from the first game as he wonders why he always seems to attracts crazy old guys. It's practically a RunningGag for Yuri at this point, which he [[LampshadeHanging thankfully lampshades.]]
* LimitBreak: Bushin Soutenha/Twin Wave, a dual Mystic Arte exclusive to the PS3 Japan-only UpdatedRerelease of ''Vesperia'', where Flynn was PromotedToPlayable. For their MAP attack, they perform their main Mystic Artes (Savage Wolf Fury and Radiant Dragon Fang) one after the other.
* MagicKnight: Flynn now uses magic quite a bit more than he did as a solo unit, likely to contrast Yuri's most melee-oriented approach.
* RedOniBlueOni: Yuri is the more outspoken between the two while Flynn is more of the rational guy.

!! [[VideoGame/GodEaterBurst Ciel Alencon* and Nana Kouzuki*]]
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/MamikoNoto and Creator/EmiriKatou

* BigEater: Nana has a lot of lines about the food she wants to eat, and suggests that everyone try an oden sandwich. This stretches to villains too: when Pyron appears in The World and poses a question to the party, Nana wordlessly holds up an oden.
* DropTheHammer: Nana, full stop.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Ciel.
* FriendlySniper: Ciel.
* GenkiGirl: Nana is one.

** "F.A.T.E.", the opening to ''God Eater 2'' (also used in their Special Attack)
** "No Way Back", an insert song featured in ''God Eater 2'' (also used in their Multi Attack)
* MorphWeapon: As per the usual with God Eaters.
* SempaiKouhai: The two of them are kouhais to Alisa.
* {{Stripperific}}: Contrasting Ciel who's wearing a lot, Nana barely wears anything.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Nana's odenpan, which she almost always offers to the party.

!! [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Akira Yuki and Kage-Maru]]*
--> '''Kage-Maru voiced by''': Takenobu Mitsuyoshi

* BadassArmfold: Parodied when he and Akira had to make it to the Zenobia, they did it via a rowboat, or more specifically, Akira did all the rowing while Kage-Maru just stood on top of the bow with his arms crossed the entire trip.
* BadassNormal: Kage-Maru, compared to the other ninja in the game.

** "Ai ga Tarinaize", the 2nd opening to the ''Virtua Fighter'' anime (also used in their Special Attack)
** "Ride the Tiger" (also used in their Multi Attack)
* {{Ninja}}: Kage-Maru. But unlike Hiryu and Hotsuma, Kage-Maru's fighting style is strictly hand-to-hand.
* RingOut: Kage-Maru does this to the enemy in their super move, but the kick also sends him off of the edge as well. Not that it hurts him, though.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Kage-Maru drags Akira along for the ride, intending to find the real Dural and destroy her.
* YearsTooEarly: Akira does a spin on his usual victory quote, occasionally saying that the opponent is "[[UpToEleven twenty years too early]]". Kage-Maru is shocked that he had added in another ten years to his training regimen. Segata also namedrops this, and as with Pai in the first game, Akira states that he say it after winning.

!! [[VideoGame/SakuraWars Ichiro Oogami and Erica Fontaine]]

* BattleCouple: Much to Sakura's annoyance.
* BladeOnAStick: Ichiro uses a halberd for a few of his attacks. To be exact, it's Glycine Bleumer's halberd.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Aside from her CatGirl costume, Erica now also changes to her army uniform in their super attack.
* ChickMagnet: Ogami as usual, much to Sakura's chagrin.

** "Mihata no Moto ni" (also used for their Special and Multi Attacks)
** "Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan/Manifest! Imperial Floral Assault Group"
* ThePowerOfLove: Their MAP attack amounts to this.

!! [[VideoGame/SakuraWars Sakura Shinguji and Gemini Sunrise]]

* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Sakura does this once again with her Army uniform in their super attack, and Gemini does the same with her uniform in their MAP attack.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Sakura even more so in this game as Oogami is now partnered with Erica instead of her.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Gemini does this a few times which confuses Sakura. [[LateArrivalSpoiler It's because]] [[SplitPersonality Gemi]][[SharingABody nine]] sometimes manifests from Gemini.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Gemini throws a baseball at the enemy for their Super Attack.

** "Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan/Manifest! Imperial Floral Assault Group" (also used in their Special Attack)
** "Chijo no Senshi" (also used in their Multi Attack)
* NotHelpingYourCase: When the Sakura Wars cast suggest using the giant magnum to get to their next destination, the others were not quite sure about it. Sakura said the landing coordinates have been improved and that the amount of passengers falling out was ''minimal''.
* {{Samurai}}: The both of them are one with Gemini being a SamuraiCowboy.
* ShipTease: Sakura with Segata Sanshiro, referencing the commercial they had together.


!! [[VideoGame/ResonanceOfFate Zephyr and Vashyron]]

* BloodKnight: Both show it off more now than in the first game.
* CoupDeGrace: Vashyron finishes the enemy off... by shooting them in the mouth.
* FacePalmOfDoom: Vashyron delivers this towards the enemy before doing the above.
* GunFu: Just like before.
* KnifeNut: Zephyr now uses knives in his neutral-A attack. [[CherryTapping They're certainly more useful here than in his home game.]]

** "The Beginning of Eternity" (also used in their Special Attack)
** "Irruption [B]" (also used in their Multi Attack)
* LovableSexManiac: Vashyron, which was one of the reasons Alisa made sure to put him in a transport shell with only men.
* MythologyGag:
** The end of their super attack mimics how Vashyron finishes his fight with Zephyr in their game's opening. Hell, the entire attack is a big CallBack to ''Resonance's'' opening.
** Chapter 25 has them don the same reindeer costumes that they wore in the {{Christmas|Episode}} mission in their home game.
* MaamShock: Male version on Vashyron's part. He took offense to being called "mister"/"[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics oji-san]]" by Kite in Prologue 4, insisting on being referred to as "big brother"/"onii-san".

[[/folder]]

[[folder:New solo units]]

New solo units are:
* Solo units who are new characters.
* Solo units who are old characters and previously part of a pair unit.
New characters are noted with asterisk (*).

!! [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil Leon S. Kennedy]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa

* BadassNormal: Ostensibly a normal guy like Chris and Jill, he nevertheless will show that he can kick some supernatural asses too.
* GunsAkimbo: Fires two handguns like this while prone.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Strapped to the brim with guns as far as the eye can see. His arsenal is rather limited compared to Chris and Jill's, carrying only a mine thrower, two pistols, incendiary grenades and a rocket launcher.

** "Main Theme" from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''
* MythologyGag: The rocket launcher he finishes his attack with is the special red rocket launcher he used to finish off [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Osmund Saddler.]] He even refers to it as "custom-made" and that he and "this guy go way back."
** CastingGag: He starts using [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Kyosuke]]'s catch phrase in front of [[{{Expy}} Reiji and Xiaomu]].
* OnlySaneMan: Refuses to believe in any of the supernatural cross-dimensional happenings at first, but gradually accepts it.
* StickyBomb: Starts his solo attack with the popular Mine Thrower.
* TimeyWimeyBall: He is taken from the events of ''Resident Evil 6'', which chronologically takes place after ''Revelations'', where this game's Chris and Jill hail from. This factors in his recruitment chapter, where he refuses to join the party and is suspicious of his younger ''RE'' compatriots.

!! [[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/TakayukiKondo and Satomi Hanamura

* ActionSurvivor: Phoenix as he's dragged around by these crazy adventures thanks to Bulletta targeting him.
* BadassNormal[=/=]EmpoweredBadassNormal: One's a spirit medium and the other's a defense attorney. Neither of them have much combat experience [[MarvelVsCapcom3 (unless you count Nick fighting Galactus that one time)]]. Turns out, it's because Morrigan gives them power.
* DeadpanSnarker: Phoenix true to form would do this when hearing something crazy like in his own series.
* TheDividual: See TagTeam below.
* DubNameChange: In their native Japan, they are addressed as Ryuchi Naruhudo and Mayoi Ayasato.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: It's their trademark after all. In-story, he delivers this to both Saya and Shadow. Both undergo a VillainousBreakdown, though Saya recovers very quickly.

** "Cornered-Variation-2001" is their battle theme. "Objection-2001" also appears.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Phoenix and Maya are not fighters, but were given the ability to fight back against the enemies by Morrigan. Despite this, they are probably the most effective supports as they can instantly break through an enemy's guard. They can also hand out a buff to instantly break guards as well as increase EXP and CP to their own unit.
* OnlySaneMan: Phoenix, considering that even Maya gets in on the fighting quite well.
--> ''Phoenix'': I can't wait to return to the courtroom... where everything makes SENSE.
* TheSmartGuy: Sometime during the story, Phoenix will point out the obvious lies in the bad guys speeches and will often deduce the truth from their various "testimonies", ThemeMusicPowerUp included.
* TagTeam: Yes, [[ViolationOfCommonSense they are a duo acting as a Solo Unit.]] Just like Tron and Servbots before them. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as neither of them, stated above, do a lot of fighting.
* TouchedByVorlons: The reason they can fight is because Morrigan empowers Maya's Magatama. Considering how canonically powerful Morrigan really is, Phoenix and Maya needed it.
* WeaponsGradeVocabulary: They use the series' trademark [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath "OBJECTION!!!"]] as an attack, although this is the first time their speech bubbles were left untranslated.

!! [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Natsu]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/FuyukaOura

** "Faster than a Howling Wind"
* MotorMouth : Just pair her with [[TheQuietOne Hiryu an]][[TheStoic d Hotsuma]] and contrast.
* {{Ninja}}: To round out the trifecta witn Hiryu and Hotsuma above as Bandai Namco's main ninja.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the lively Red Oni to... every other ninja (Hiryu, Hotsuma, Hibana and even Kage-Maru) in the game.
* SealedInAPersonShapedCan: Holds the sealed demon Arahabaki inside her, and can summon it to attack foes.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Despite being from the 1600s, she talks like a modern day {{Tomboy}} teenager. Albeit one who has no idea how to handle technology.
* TeleportSpam: Engages with this quite a bit.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: One of Natsu's moves includes a jumping spinning frankensteiner.
* YouRemindMeOfX: A lot of characters who have traveled together in ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' note that she has Taki's sense of style and fighting skills. Justified since she's Taki's student.

!! [[SegataSanshiro Segata Sanshiro]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/HiroshiFujioka

* AwesomenessIsVolatile: The enemy explodes upon landing after getting Judo thrown by Segata, akin to his ''[[SaturnBomberman Saturn Bomberman Fight!]]'' commercial.
* BackgroundMusicOverride: A minor version: whether or not his theme plays when you control the pair that has him as the solo unit, there's still a random chance that you'll hear the familiar "[[BigWordShout SEGA!]]" shout when you pick that pair as one of the pair's themes begins to play.
* {{Badass}}: At this point, it goes without saying.
* BerserkButton: Yuri pushes it by accident when he says that he really doesn't have the time to play, since both Yuri and Flynn need to find Estelle (plus Yuri just doesn't want to deal with Segata's shenanigans). Segata then gets furious and challenges both Yuri and Flynn for it.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He ''demolishes it''. For example, he namedrops Katsuhiro Harada (the director of ''Tekken'' and the man who successfully pitched the localization of the ''Project X Zone'' games) when paired with Jin and Kazuya, demands that Chrom and Lucina play [[FireEmblem on Classic Mode]], and points out the ''{{Xenosaga}}''/''{{Xenoblade}}'' connection with KOS-MOS and Fiora. Justified because, unlike all of the other characters, he ''is'' an otherwise normal human who advertises games.
* CaptainObvious: Pair him up with Demitri and Morrigan and he says that they're not human. Doubles as a ShoutOut to [[VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead one of the commercials he did.]]
** There are also this one.
-->'''Segata''': Be careful for the Zombie! They're not human!
* FamedInStory: Almost every Sega character has known him, ''even across dimensions, space, and time.'' [[NoExportForYou Except for Gemini.]]
* FastballSpecial: Tosses both Yuri and Flynn towards Estelle to get closer to her. Fortunately, both don't explode.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Segata seems to start out as an enemy unit. As with Zanger before him, he ends up picking a fight with Yuri. Unlike before, the Vesperia native comes out on top.
* {{Leitmotif}}: You knew this was coming.
** "SEGATA SANSHIRO! SEGATA SANSHIRO! SEGA SATURN SHIRO!"
* MadeOfExplodium: What happens when he gets his hands on you.
* MST3KMantra: Segata just so happens to know every Sega character in the game. Reiji realizes that it's impossible because of time and space reasons. Segata's reasoning:
--> '''Segata''': ''Segata Sanshiro will live forever in your hearts!''
* SelfDuplication: Can do this in reference to the ''[[VideoGame/DragonForce Dragon Force II]]'' commercial.
* ShipTease: With Sakura, as a ShoutOut to his commercial for ''[[VideoGame/SakuraWars Sakura Wars 2]]''.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Mainly due to the fact that he was initially plugged to sell the Saturn and wasn't technically a video game character. But don't tell him that, lest he throw you into hell itself.
* UseYourHead: One of his moves, likely in reference to his ''Solo Crisis'' ad.
* ViolationOfCommonSense: Plugs the Sega Saturn... despite being in a video game released long after the Saturn's end.

!! [[VideoGame/CaptainCommando Captain Commando]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/RyotaroOkiayu
----
* AssistCharacter: Calls out Michelle Heart and Cyber Blue in substitution of his usual team.
* TheBusCameBack: Previously appeared in ''NamcoXCapcom'', missed the first PXZ, then returns in the second.
* TheCameo: During his attack animation, Commando summons the assistance of Michelle Heart from ''VideoGame/LegendaryWings'', Cyber Blue from ''VideoGame/BattleCircuit'' and the Colonel and Sargent {{Space Fighter}}s from ''Exed Exes''. He's more or less a walking ShoutOut to Capcom's earlier arcade titles, just as Ulala is with Sega's.
* CoolGuns: He wips out a missile launcher from his arcade game as part of his Solo attack.
* CoolShades: Ruby-colored shades at that.
* DemotedToExtra: From a fully playable unit in NXC to a support solo unit in the second.
* ForGreatJustice
* TheGoodCaptain: He couldn't be anything else.
* GroundPunch: His ever popular CAPTAIN CORRIDOR.

** "Stage 1 (City)"
* PlayingWithFire: Captain Fire and Captain Kick.
* ShockAndAwe: As it should be, he finishes his attack with his good ole' '''CAPTAIN CORRIDOR''', engulfing his foes in a pillar of electricity.

!! [[VideoGame/StarGladiator June Lin Milliam]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/YukariTamura

* AssKicksYou: Strikes the enemy away with hers during her Solo attack.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: June tries to plead with Black Hayato to return to his real self.

** "Against the Absolute"
* RingsOfDeath: Uses plasma rings to fight.

!! [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Felicia]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/KanaAsumi

* TheBusCameBack: Previously appeared in ''NamcoXCapcom'', didn't appear in the first ''Project X Zone'', then returns in the second.
* CatGirl: Obviously!
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Changes into a cabaret outfit to finish off her solo attack.
* DanceBattler: A given as Felicia is a dancer. Her Dancing Flash is obvious, but she can also summon a chorus line of showgirls to literally kick your ass.
* ExposedToTheElements: Lampshaded by Ciel and Nana if paired with her.
* FurBikini: "Quit calling me naked!"
* HypocriticalHumor: When told about the Dolls of Shadaloo, she along with Alisa were shocked and disgusted that Bison would kidnap young girls and force them into outfits that showed off their legs.
* IdolSinger: She ''was'' in Paris to do a concert, but then winds up summoned by Aty's magic.
* KickChick: More towards her backup showgirl lineup.

** "Felicia Stage (USA)"
* LittleBitBeastly: As being a catwoman.
* NaturalWeapon: One of Felicia's taunts is that she wouldn't mind sharpening her claws on the enemies.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis
--> '''Felicia''': ''Ryu. The rest of us CAN'T. DO. THAT.''
* ShesGotLegs: Felicia herself, and her showgirl chorusline who kick ''very'' high.
* ShockAndAwe: One of her moves is an imitation of Blanka's Electric Charge move.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Obviously, much to the delight of the men, especially Vashyron and Majima, the former even offering her to start a hostess club with him and the latter tempted to slip her cash for a dance.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her natural hair color.

!! [[VideoGame/SummonNight Aty]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AyakoKawasumi

* GoshDangItToHeck: PlayedForLaughs. When she shouts "Fiddlesticks!" at the Ouma agents, Xiaomu tells her to watch her language, even though nearly everyone else said something worse at least once.

** "Taiyou ga Yondeiru" the opening theme for ''Summon Night 3''
* {{Meganekko}}
* MistakenIdentity: Pair her up with Kite and Haseo and Haseo calls her Atoli before correcting himself. [[ActorAllusion Although he's not exactly wrong, per se.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: Gains it when finishing her solo attack.
* RedHeadedHeroine: Her hair color and very heroic.
* SenseiChan: She's a teacher and she won't let the party forget it.
* SummonMagic: Her support attack is filled to the brim with this. She also has the ability to de-summon them and attempts this to send away the hordes of monsters attacking Paris with this method, but instead accidentally summoned Felicia into the fray.
* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: Ex-soldier, teacher, summoner, has some training in ninjitsu and dancing.

!! [[VideoGame/GodEaterBurst Alisa Illinichina Amiella]]
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/MaayaSakamoto

* ArtShift: Uses her ''God Eater 2'' costume.
* BareYourMidriff: Coupled with {{Underboobs}} due to her open top. Jin and Kazuya tell her to [[HypocriticalHumor close it up]].
* DemotedToExtra: Is now a Solo Unit to make room for Ciel and Nana. Soma's whereabouts are unknown.
* HypocriticalHumor: When told about the Dolls of Shadaloo, she along with Felicia were shocked and disgusted that Bison would kidnap young girls and force them into outfits that showed off their legs.

!! [[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Axel Stone]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/TomokazuSugita

* BadassNormal: Took down numerous crime syndicates with just his fists and makeshift weapons.
* CowboyCop: Is considered a detective despite his look.
* ElementalPunch: His Grand Upper, Dragon Smash, and Dragon Wing are the fire variety.
* FingerlessGloves: Wears red ones. It's also how to tell him apart from his robot clone, Break, who wears blue ones.

** "Go Straight", the theme of the first stage in ''Streets of Rage 2''.
* MundaneSolution: When the floor everyone is on is lined with time bombs, Axel demonstrates the best way to disarm them is to simple smash them, however dangerous it sounds.

!! [[VideoGame/NightshadeKunoichi Hibana]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AtsukoTanaka

* ATasteOfPower: She joins in Prologue 3 paired alongside Hiryu and Hotsuma and has one of the best self-buff skills of the game (although at that point, it's overkill). Naturally, she's the final solo unit that joins the party.
* DramaticUnmask: Takes off her mask at the end of her Solo attack. She also does this when she first appears to both Hiryu and Hotsuma as a sign of her trusting the two of them to believe her.
* DualWielding

** "Jade Water", also named "Vengeful Beauty"
* TimeyWimeyBall: As ''Nightshade'' is a sequel to ''Shinobi'', she is careful to not impart any information towards Hotsuma that could change the flow of time.

!! [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Pai Chan]]
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/MinamiTakayama

* BigDamnHeroes: Her first appearance has her appearing from out of nowhere and destroys the MookMaker that Dokurobo was using.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Uses M. Bison's ButForMeItWasTuesday quote from the ''Film/StreetFighter'' movie as a post-battle quote.
* {{Leitmotif}}:
** "Ai ga Tarinaize"

!! [[VideoGame/ResonanceOfFate Reanbell/Leanne]]
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AyaEndo

* DemotedToExtra: Was formerly teamed with Zephyr in Project X Zone, but became a solo unit in the sequel.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Uses one to finish off her solo attack.
* GunFu: Retains this like Zephyr and Vashyron. When paired with Chris and Jill, she suggests they also incorporate this in their gunplay, but they decline the idea.
* {{Leitmotif}}:
** "The Beginning of Eternity"

!! [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ingrid]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Masako Jo
----
* {{Leitmotif}}:
** "Seek No Escape" from ''Street Fighter Alpha 3''
* SealedEvilInACan: Houses the Psycho Power used by the Street Fighter series' BigBad, M. Bison.
* TheRival: Xiaomu considers her to be one since they're both ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, mysterious in various ways and female. Also for both almost thinking alike when it comes to shipping.
* YaoiFangirl: Does see the potential in a Ryu x M. Bison shipping.

!! [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Estelle]]
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/MaiNakahara
----

!! [[VideoGame/{{Shenmue}} Ryo Hazuki]]*
--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/MasayaMatsukaze

* BadassNormal: Similar to his [[SpiritualSuccessor successors]] Kiryu and Majima, except without their usage of weapons. His solo attack further emphasizes this: it has the least amount of hits out of any solo attack in the game and consists entirely of basic martial arts strikes, ending in a strange-looking throw.
* ButIReadABookAboutIt: When paired with Ryu and Ken, Ryo asks for the technique scrolls for the Shotokan style to learn the moves. Ryu seems shocked Ryo can learn moves by reading about them and Ken suggests his "fighting school by mail" course.
* CanonWelding: Of sorts. The Phoenix Mirror was stolen by M. Bison, and Ryo crashes a Shadoloo-Ouma meeting (with Chun-Li and Xiaoyu) to demand it back by force.

** "Main Theme" from Shenmue

* LateArrivalSpoiler: He's actually Vergil, who was corrupted by demonic energies after chasing Mundus and ultimately defeated by Dante during the events of the first ''DevilMayCry''. This makes negative amounts of sense when the actual Vergil is alive fighting alongside Dante and has the opportunity to fight him. Turns out the Vergil that joins the party is a Vergil is from a different time when he separated from a Dante and from his point of view, only half a day had passed.
* TechnicolorFire: Attacks with it

* ExtremityExtremist: Only uses kicks

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After being defeated in Terca Lumireis, she decides to break her contract with Bison out of frustration of not killing Phoenix and Maya. She's recruited again by Raptor in the Marvel Land theme park and breaks THAT contract before returning once more to Bison and breaks it again when beaten in Kamurucho.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: All of the fights with him and June are this. When he is finally defeated in Shibuya, Sylphie transports him back to the Star Gladiator's HQ to recover.

* UndyingLoyalty: To Oda Nobunaga.

** To give players a break down of what they need to do in order: Part 1) Kill off all the starting bosses. Part 2) Kill Dokumezu, Dokugozu, and Sheath. Part 3) Kill Saya. Finally, players can kill off Byakushin. While this happens, Byakushin will keep on summoning monsters to gun for any of the three pillars that players need to defend and while that's happening, Byakushin will keep on firing potshots at your characters when they're in range of her attacks. Anybody caught in her LimitBreak is as [[OneHitKill good as dead.]] Oh and that red liquid that's all over the stage? Walk into it and that character will take some ScratchDamage that will pile up because of so many tiles having them. Phew, talk about a race against time.
