Viewtiful Joe (Character)

Summary

An excitable and childish film nerd, he and his girlfriend Silvia were about to watch the newest film produced by Captain Blue, Joe's idol and Silvia's father when the antagonist of the film suddenly breaks the fourth wall and abducts Silvia, pulling her into the film while Captain Blue does the same to Joe. Joe is then entrusted by Blue with a V-Watch, allowing the film buff to finally become what he always wanted to be, a real-life Henshin Hero!

Standard Equipment: His V-Watch (which allows him to transform at the start of a fight), his Voomerang (his head crest that can be thrown as a projectile with homing capabilities), his giant mecha Six Machine which he can summon at any time

Intelligence: A movie and comics nerd who has a nearly encyclopedic knowledge of films and shows new and old. Having watched tokusatsu films since he was a child, he is an expert martial artist and a capable marksman with his Voomerangs and the cannon of the Six Machine. He also has excellent synergy with his girlfriend Sexy Silvia, working together seamlessly as a powerful crimefighting duo. He also seems to be knowledgeable about Capcom's other properties, quoting characters like Devil May Cry's Dante on occasion.

Weaknesses: Is rather excitable and can be distracted at times, His Time Manipulation abilities run on VFX power so if he can't pull off enough stylish moves he'll eventually be unable to use them. He can't slow down and accelerate time simultaneously.

Notable Attacks and Techniques:

• Slow: Joe can slow down time around him, increasing the powers of his blows and making it easier for him to dodge attacks. The fact that his opponents are slowed down also makes it easier to chain long, stylish combos which allow him to keep up the offensive.

Joe using Mach Speed

• Mach Speed: The inverse of Slow, Mach Speed drastically speeds up time around Joe, allowing him to move at blazing speeds relative to his opponents such that the air around him catches on fire, which he then uses to blitz all foes around him in an instant with a series of fiery punches and kicks.

• Zoom-In: Causes the camera to zoom in on him, placing him in the spotlight. This bolsters the powers of his attacks, grants him access to even more stylish and powerful combos, and paralyzes foes in range. However, this is a double-edged sword, as Joe will take increased damage due to the entirety of the spotlight being focused on him. This ability can also be used in conjuncation with Slow or Mach Speed for even more damage at the cost of additional VFX Power.

• Desperado: One of his Hyper Combos in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, he summons the Six Machine's cannon to fire off a powerful energy blast against his opponent.

• Viewtiful God Hand: Another one of his Hyper Combos. Joe activates Slow before charging his hands with energy, jabbing them into the opponent and scrambling them from the inside out before ripping his hands out forcefully, slowng down his target even after the effects of Slow have worn off.

• V-Dodge: Joe poses like the heroes in tokusatsu films, rendering him briefly invulnerable by causing all conventional attacks, melee or projectile, to simply fly past him. However, this doesn't against grappling attacks.

• Red-Hot Kick: One of his signature attacks, Joe performs a flying kick in midair while shrouded in flames.

• Groovy Uppercut: Joe performs a rising uppercut similarly to the infamous Shoryuken from the Street Fighter series.
