Cameron by ComicReadingGamer

Bio

A self-confessed technology enthusiast, Cameron Parker was originally Jeffery's online video game rival turned close friend. Utilizing an arm cannon he found in a museum during a recon mission after being recruited by Roy Herman, he has the means to combat Jiles's forces without fear.

Gameplay Details

Special Moves

  • D, F + M- Cannon Shot (fires a shot from his arm cannon forward; depending on how much it's charged via his trait, the shot becomes stronger and knocks foe into the air, with the full charge slowly knocking foe over towards him; in air ok; meter burn fires a second shot up-forward when grounded or down-forward when airborne)
  • B, F + L- Grapple Beam (thrusts out his arm cannon and flings out a mid-ranged beam of energy; on hit, foe is pulled over towards him in a stunned state; meter burn has him slam foe to the ground via the beam for a ground bounce)
  • D, F + H- Bottle Rocket (fires a small bottle rocket bomb from his arm cannon forward at an arc; meter burn fires three bottle rockets, each one being fired further than the last; knockdown)
  • D, B + M- Bomb Drop (drops a mechanical explosive from his arm cannon on the ground in front of him; explodes when foe comes into contact with it or after a second; knockdown)
  • air D, B + M- Shoot Boost (fires a shot from his arm cannon directly below him, the recoil boosting him upward a bit)
  • B, F + H- Shoulder Thrust (fires a shot at the ground behind him to boost him forward with his shoulder outward; knockdown; meter burn adds a second boosting shoulder attack)

Character Trait

  • S- Cannon Charge (charges up his arm cannon for his Cannon Shot; has three levels of charge)

Super Move

  • MB + FS- Vaporize (thrusts his charged-up arm cannon forward; on hit, the charge transitions into a close-ranged explosion followed by him stepping forward for a left hook before firing an explosive shot at foe's feet to knock them up in the air in order to unleash a powerful energy beam from his arm cannon above him to attack foe relentlessly before stopping and letting them drop behind him)

Misc

  • Voice Actor: Ogie Banks
  • Intro Animation: Cameron runs forward with his arm cannon in his hand. When he stops, he spins around once while equipping his arm cannon before saying "Game on!"
  • Round Win Animation: Thrusts his cannoned arm into the air with an explosion as he says "Gotcha!" or "Hell yeah!
  • Match Win Animation: Fiddles with the controls on his arm cannon for a few moments before firing a shot in the air with a victorious shout, the shot soon exploding and summoning sparkles that rain down above him.

Arcade ending

"Shorty after defeating Jiles Gorge, Cameron attempted to revel in his hard-fought victory. This would be short lived, as his arm cannon began to act strange. Newly formed molecules had fused into his body. Unable to remove it, they rapidly spread until they permeated his body in an armor like fashion. Upon showing his friends and Inspector Herman this, the latter realized what had transpired: upon having worn it for an extended period of time, the cannon had bonded with Cameron via a symbiotic material. In other words, Cameron and the cannon were now one. Now overjoyed, Cameron went out to test this newfound power by eliminating the remainder of Jiles's forces."
Meet the group's technology expert, Cameron. I knew I had to give him a weapon worthy of his tool of the trade, which is how he got equipped with his arm cannon. Also, note the logo on his shirt. It's actually a shout-out to the Heavy Hitters series. Who knew that Rapsod Tech had merchandise like this?

In his ending, his arm cannon had basically become a symbiote, which encases him in armor. This ending was actually inspired by Samus's attire in Metroid Fusion, which actually looks kinda badass to look at. Next is RoY's token archer, Neil.
