GAMEPLAY DETAILS

Special Moves

  • Disc Jockey ~ He tosses a music disc at his opponent like how Kung Lao throws his hat.
  • Acoustic Kick ~ He does a straightforward kick, which emits an acoustic wave that knocks his opponent out.
  • Microphone Fiend ~ He whacks his opponent around with two microphones wired together like nunchuks.
  • Breakdance Wave ~ He spins in a breakdance, sending in a wave on the ground that hits his opponent.

Blitz Skills

  • Blitz Art: Spinning Vibration ~ Liang spins around, making an aura of vibration waves circling around him for 10 seconds. This increases the hit rates of his normal attacks.
  • Blitz Counter: Supersonic Punch ~ Liang punches his opponent, making a supersonic sound wave that pushes the opponent farthest away.

Elemental Assault

Make Some Noise! ~ Liang cracks his knuckles and says, "Time to MAKE SOME NOISE!" and starts kicking and punching his opponent. He then jumps to kick the opponent two times, each kick per time, into the air. As the opponent is falling, two giant speaker boxes in which Liang is between of, as well as a DJ stand, pop up from the ground and Liang starts dropping the bass. Huge vibration waves emit from each speaker box, each one hitting the aerial opponent four times until the the fifth time sends him/her flying away. The speaker boxes and DJ stand disappear afterwards.

MISC.

Voice Actor: Bryce Papenbrook
Intro Sequence: Liang punches two times and then does a roundhouse kick. He starts going to a Jeet Kune Do stance that consists of him stepping with each foot like he's dancing and says, "Hope you're ready for the beat!"
Victory Sequence: Liang gets out two discs and says, "Looks like the party is already getting started!" and places them onto a DJ stand from out of nowhere and scratches the records, ending the sequence with one big swipe on one of the discs.
Associated Stage: Club MYST (BGM: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk)

STORY MODE

Intro Cutscene

(We're treated with a panoramic view of Shanghai, China at dawn. This Asian trap beat by Uness Beatz plays throughout.)
Liang (v/o): "Shenme shi, everybody? This is your boy Liang Shu! What you see here is the city of Shanghai, China."
(Cut to the Nanjing Road where we see people there walking around, shopping, etc.)
Liang (v/o): "It is a magnificent place. It's got food, helpful locals who can lead you to your doors, karaoke nights, you get the rest once you live or visit there."
(As we get a tour throughout the place, we see Liang Shu walking around with his hands in his pants pockets with headphones on.)
Liang (v/o): "That's me over there. I'm at Nanjing Road, which is great spot for one's shopping needs. What's my job you ask? Why I'm a DJ of course, despite that I'm from a traditional family who weren't even familiar with night clubs and whatever."
(Cut to a flashback in which we see a younger Liang Shu doing a couple of Jeet Kune Do moves at a dojo. We also see Liang's grandfather watching along with Liang's mother and father.)
Liang (v/o): "Although I can say about my time with my family is that I was trained by me grandfather in the art of Jeet Kune Do, for we were avid fans of the great Bruce Lee."
Grandfather: "Perfect!"
Mother (voiced by Kelly Hu): "You have done well, son."
(Liang's parents and grandfather clap. Liang bows.)
Grandfather: "Now you know that when it comes to martial arts, you must use these techniques in necessary situations."
Father (voiced by Keone Young): "He is right. Never use them to escalate any fights unless an offender escalates it."
(The Asian trap beat stops playing as we cut back to the present-day Shanghai. This time, it is night.)
Liang (v/o): "Now this is the club I work at."
(Techno music plays as we cut to a night club where we see everybody dancing the night away.)
Liang (v/o): "As I've started getting out into the world itself, I was drawn to dancing and music. I even took an interest in music recording and remixing."
(While everybody's partying, we see Liang Shu working the DJ stand.)
Liang (v/o): "That's when I made a name for myself. I even go by the alias as DJ Shu. I became the hottest new DJ in the club business!"
(L.e.s.'s "Chinese Hiphop Beat 4" starts playing cut to Shanghai's streets at night with Liang walking across the sidewalk. He meets a couple of his friends and they all greet each other.)
Liang: "Hey, whassup?"
Friend #1: "Hey, how's it goin' homie?"
Friend #2: "Yo, I heard rumors that you're gonna be coming out with a debut album. Is that true?"
Liang: "Well I can't confirm that it's true but..."
(Liang and the gang see a glowing envelope float down onto them.)
Friend #3: "Hey, what's that in the air?"
Firend #2: "You ask me?"
Liang: "Hang on..."
(Liang catches the envelope and reads.)
Friend #2: "What does it say, man?"
Liang: "It says here that this is for something called the Elemental Tournament. What is it?"
Invitation: "You will find out soon enough."
(Everyone gets surprised by the invitation talking.)
Friend #1: "Whoa, that thing just talked?"
Liang: "OK, what's going on here, seriously?"
Invitation: "Perhaps I'll discuss everything to you and you only, Liang Shu."
Friend #3: "It even knows your name?"
Liang: "Guys, let me just have a talk with this... invitation... alone."
Friend #2: "A'ight, it's cool."
(Liang friends leave him with the envelope.)
Invitation: "Liang Shu, you have been chosen to participate in the Elemental Tournament."
Liang: "About that. What is this tournament like?"
Invitation: "There is something about the tournament that is the reason for you to enter. When you win the tournament, you will be given a special opportunity."
Liang: "Yeah... Perhaps I should ask my parents before I go participate in your game."
Invitation: "You may go ahead and do that, Liang Shu."
Liang: "Thanks. Besides, the last thing I want is for them to start worrying about me."
(Liang puts away the invitation and continues walking home.)

Finals Cutscene ~ vs. Ivan Marland

(Scene takes place in the Elemental Tournament arena, which is a big, round-shaped outdoors stadium with an attendance of a thousand people watching, decorated in beautiful ancient Chinese architecture all over the place. A wise, elderly man named Yu Huang is standing on the center of the ring.)
Yu Huang: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is I, Yu Huang, speaking! We are now at this very moment where two winners will compete in this final showdown! We have here one do-gooder and one… non-do-gooder! The do gooder I am talking of is none other than Liang Shu, the club DJ from Shanghai!"
(Liang Shu comes into the ring. The crowd cheers.)
Yu Huang: "And over there is a leader of the criminal gang known as "The Millions", hailing from Ohio is Ivan Marland!"
(Ivan Marland also comes into the ring as well. The crowd boos at him.)
Ivan: "What the... why is everybody booing at me?"
Liang: "I think I know why that is. You're a crook!"
Ivan: "Duh! Ya' think?"
Liang: "Hey, nobody trusts criminals so you know that people will boo at you for a reason."
Ivan: "Ah, forget it! Let's just get this stupid matchup already!"
Yu Huang: "Now then, let the finals begin!"
(Yu Huang disappears in a burst of aether energy.)
Liang: "Now step back as I'm about to drop the bass on your ass!"

Championship Boss Battle

(Ivan Marland falls onto the ground in defeat.)
Liang: "See that, Ivan? Crime never prospers!"
Ivan: "Like you're one to talk considering that you're not even a crimefighter!"
Liang: "Well you're right about that. But that aside, I'm deserving of this glory!"
Ivan: "Man, I am never visiting your country ever. Goodbye!"
(Ivan leaves all pissed off.)
Liang: "Man, what a grouch."
(Yu Huang appears back on the ring in a burst of aether energy.)
Yu Huang: "Congratulations, Liang Shu. You are now champion of the Elemental Tournament. My name is Yu Huang, the Jade Emperor."
Liang: "So were you the voice that I've heard form the invitation I got talking to me?"
Yu Huang: "Indeed I was. By now, you may be wondering what the purpose of the Elemental Tournament is."
Liang: "Yeah, I mean, what's it about?"
Yu Huang: "Allow me to explain. It was set up so that I may find someone worthy of defeating a very evil. So in doing so, I chose a selective few who'd join so that the person with the willpower to stop this evil is determined by whoever is crowned championship of the tournament."
Liang: "So that's it then. Then I'm game, pal!"
Yu Huang: "Very well, Liang Shu."
Liang: "But wait, what "evil" are you referring to actually."
Yu Huang: "I am referring to a so-called "god" named Chthonus. He is the god of death who wants to strive off of nothing but, well, death."
Liang: "Oh boy. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me."
(Yu Huang goes into his fighting stance.)
Yu Huang: "Let us see if you are up to this challenge."

Sub-Boss Cutscene ~ vs. Deleteria

(Yu Huang and Liang Shu shake hands.)
Yu Huang: "You have shown what strength you carry."
Liang: "Thanks, Jade Emperor. You know, my parents always told me stories about your exploits. Now meeting you, I gotta say that my parents weren't bluffing. You really are an awesome guy."
Yu Huang: "Thank you, Liang. Now then, are you ready to face Chthonus in the underworld?"
Liang: "Underworld? You mean Diyu, right?"
Yu Huang: "I'm of course speaking of a different Hell but Diyu. Chthonus lives in Tartarus, which was a domain of the Greek god Hades up until the A.D. era. Anyways, you must make haste and defeat Chthonus."
(Yu Huang teleports Liang out of the picture.)
Yu Huang: "Good luck, Elemental Champion."
(Scene takes place in a nightmarish land called Tartarus, which is a dark, mountainous area populated by undead creatures and demonic beasts. Liang is teleported onto the area from a burst of aether energy.)
Liang: "Man, Tartarus sure looks alot scarier as expected?"
(A reptilian woman named Deleteria teleports in front of Liang via nether energy.)
Deleteria: "Who are you?..."
Liang: "OK, first off, who the hell are YOU?"
Deleteria: "I am Deleteria, I am an apprentice of Chthonus."
Liang: "Apprentice, you say? Hey, since you know of Chthonus, tell me. What mythology is Chthonus recognized in?"
Deleteria: "He's not recognized in any mythologies!"
Liang: "Boy, Yu Huang wasn't playing around when he said "so-called" next to the word "god" while describing Chthonus."
(Deleteria spits acid at Liang but Liang successfully dodges each shot in a funky manner.)
Deleteria: "And you're gonna take Yu Huang's word for it? You cannot be serious, kiddo! Chthonus is a god and he will rule over the Earth with his cold deathly fist!"
Liang: "Well I don't know about your deity's origin but rest assure, I know what I gotta do and that is knocking you out!"
Deleteria: "You think your dance moves will save you? Utterly pathetic!"
Liang: "Oh don't be fooled by my absolute funk! I can chop, kick and punch!"
(Deleteria goes into her fighting stance.)
Deleteria: "I will strip you of every bone in your body!"

Final Boss Cutscene

(Deleteria falls onto the ground in defeat.)
Liang: "YEAH! Beat that, Medusa!"
???: "Oh, things are about to get started now."
(Deleteria is teleported out of the picture via a burst of nether energy.)
Liang: "Chthonus?"
(Nether energy swirls around the arena and then forms into a humanoid shape standing in front of Liang Shu. The nether shape morphs and turns into a ghoulish looking man named Chthonus.)
Chthonus: "Yes, I am Chthonus, the God of Death! I suspect that Yu Huang has sent you after me through his little tournament!"
Liang: "Yeah, and you'll be very sorry once I'm lay the beat on ya!"
Chthonus: "Don't try and play smart-ass with me, you little twerp!"
Liang: "Anyways, what's your business that makes Yu Huang become cautious here?"
Chthonus: "Plain and simple. I wish to rule the entire world with an army of the undead and those who'd oppose me shall surely die!"
Liang: "Oh shit."
Chthonus: "So say goodbye to your little music and your little nightclubs or whatever you youngsters go to these days. Back in the Byzantine era, we never danced to loud music! Dancing was more classy back then."
Liang: "Yeah, about that. Were you actually a human before you became a god? Because I recall Yu Huang describing you as a phony one."
Chthonus: "Yes, I was once a religious clergy in the Byzantine Empire. No, I was not around during Justinian I, the more-popular subject when it comes to that era. There were others who were emperor before him, such as Leo I."
Liang: "Oh. Never heard of him. But I'm sure that's because of, like you said, Justinian's popularity among Byzantine scholars."
Chthonus: "I would forgive any scholar of that topic but considering that I don't give two rats asses about any forms of life, I won't even bother being kind about it!"
Liang: "Of course you wouldn't, old geezer!"
Chthonus: "But enough chit-chatting for now!"
(Both Liang and Chthonus go into their respective fighting stances.)
Chthonus: "Come at me or face your ultimate demise at my hands!"

After enough rounds are won...

(Chthonus kneels close to his defeat but manages to get back up.)
Chthonus: "This isn't over by a long shot!"
(Chthonus turns the whole stage into nothing but a black background. The black background then shifts to what appears to be a destroyed city where everything has a greenish and/or blackish color tone. Bones of random citizens and even animals are scattered everywhere and demons are roaming around the ruins.)
Liang: "Really? Did you really have to destroy the world just now?"
Chthonus: "Relax, I didn't destroy it just yet. This is just a vision of what's to come when I'm around."
Liang: "Well I'm gonna prevent you from having your way, freak!"
Chthonus: "Oh you think I'm already as freaky as now? Well wait 'til you see this..."
(Chthonus uses enough nether energy in his hands and engulfs his entire body into it. The nether energy expands into a giant shape and thus morphs into Chthonus's new form, a horrifying, Cthulhu-esque monster with a now distorted voice. Chthonus emits a T-Rex like roar at the sky and then looks down at Liang Shu.)
Liang: "HOLY COW, NOW THAT IS FREAKY!!!"
Chthonus: "Yes, and when you're dead, I will make sure that you end up into dog meat! You will die right here in this plain of decay and sorrow!"
Liang: "Not happening!"
Chthonus: "Let's see you try to dance your way out of this one."
(Chthonus expands his wings and he extends his unusually muscular arms.)
Chthonus: "Welcome to Hell, foolish imbecil!"

After a round is won…

(Liang Shu gets out his microphone nunchuks and swings them around until they glow with enough cyan-colored energy. He flings the one of the connected microphones forward, emitting a vibrating sound wave that zips right at Chthonus. Chthonus covers his ears due to how loud it is.)
Chthonus: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME!!!"
(Chthonus explodes into swirls of nether energy that flies up into the air.)
Announcer: "Liang Shu Wins."

Ending Cutscene

(Scene takes place in Tartarus, which Liang Shu is unfortunately still stuck in.)
Liang: "Alright, now that Chthonus is done away with, I need to figure out how to get the heck out of this place. I can't be stuck here forever."
(Yu Huang, Mazu (see Koi Ikaika's entry for Mazu's physical description) and Guan Yu (see Yu Huang's story mode for Guan Yu's physical appearance) descend down in front of Liang.)
Yu Huang: "Perhaps we shall help you out on this."
Liang: "Yu Huang! You've arrived!"
Guan Yu: "And so have his fellow gods, Mazu and me, Guan Yu."
Mazu: "We'll get oyu out of this place. It doesn't seem like the kind of place you'd want to be stranded in."
Liang: "Yeah... unless I..."
(Cut to a dream sequence of Liang Shu and a pack of zombies behind him doing the Thriller dance as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" plays throughout the dream sequence.)
Yu Huang (v/o): "That would be unlikely..."
(A record scratch is heard as we cut back to Tartarus with Liang, Yu Huang, Mazu and Guan Yu.)
Yu Huang: "Just because Michael Jackson did it doesn't mean you could. It was only a music video."
Liang: "You do have a point. Anyways, tonight's when I start killing it at Club MYST so I appreciate this rescue mission you guys are proposing."
Yu Haung: "Well it's not so much a rescue mission as it is something completely different. We just want to get you out of there in fast because trust us, we know what it's like in there. It's not unlike in Diyu. Now come on."
(Sirius Beats's "Celebration" starts playing as we cut to Club MYST at night. Eight seconds later, we cut to inside the club where it's packed. We see Liang on the DJ stand.)
Liang: "ALRIGHT EVERYBODY! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR LIKE YOU ALL DON'T CARE!"
(Liang starts cranking up that beat and everybody in the club starts dancing. Among the usual partygoers, we also see Bryson Demarco partying, and so are Birgithe Lachlan, Abel Manyara and Nathan Brooklyn partying as well.)
Abel: "THIS CLUB IS OFF THE CHAIN!"
Birgithe: "I KNOW, AND CONGRATS TO LIANG SHU FOR DOING HUMANITY A FAVOR!"
Party girl: "HEY THERE, WANNA DANCE WITH ME, YA' BIG HUNK OF A MAN?"
Abel: "SURE!"
(The random party girl dances with Abel. As the mass dancing ensues, we even see Gang Longwei and Ai Xiaoli dancing together amongst the crowd.)
Gang: "GOOD THING SOMEONE OTHER THEN YOU AND ME DID SOMETHING ABOUT AN UNDEAD CRISIS!"
Ai: "YEAH, IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY UNKNOWINGLY GAVE US A BREAK WHEN WE COULD'VE SOLVED THE CRISIS OURSELVES!"
(Cut to the rest of the crowd partying and Liang killin' it at the DJ stand.)
???: "HEY, LIANG!"
(Liang looks forward and we cut to Yu Huang, of all people, wearing sunglasses and other modern attire while far away behind him are Liang's parents.)
Yu Huang: "YOUR PARENTS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU!"
Mother: "YOU MADE YOUR PARENTS PROUD, LIANG SHU!"
Father: "WHAT YOU DID FOR THE WORLD WAS HONORABLE AS WE CAN ALL AGREE!"
Yu Huang: "YOU SEE?"
(Cut back to Liang on the set.)
Liang: "Thanks, Jade Emperor, and ni hao, mom and dad!"
(Sirius Beats's "Celebration" stops playing as the scene cuts to black. Five seconds later, Boy Hits Car's "I'm A Cloud" starts playing as Elemental Blitz's logo is displayed on a black background. Ten seconds later, we cut to the credits where, as the credits roll, A blaze of fire rises from the lower left of the screen and in the background comes reflections of each character in the core roster doing their signature moves, accompanied by the character's respective element swirling around in the background.)
Another ELBZ entry today and this one is of a rather unique character named Liang Shu.

What's so unique about Liang, you may ask? Liang Shu hear is a Jeet Kune Do practitioner (y'know, like Bruce Lee. Heck, even his grandfather, who taught him in that fighting art, was an avid Bruce Lee fan) and get this, his brand of Jeet Kune Do involves dancing as well as, given his elemental affinity, dropping the base. So in a way, think of him as like the Fei Long, the Law family, Jackie Bryant, Liu Kang (what? he was based off of Bruce Lee to begin with!) or Jann Lee if either of those guys D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DROPPED THE BASE! *cues Skrillex's Cinema playing* Or better yet, he's like if Zack had Jann Lee's fighting style!

Or you know what, he's basically if Skrillex started doing Jeet Kune Do! Let's just say that!

Yeah, that's all I can say about Liang Shu. So if you like Bruce Lee esque characters like the ones I just mentioned above, you'll love Liang Shu.
