#Bruno Delinger

[adokle]

"Commendations or no, the crap you and Holiday just pulled's got City Hall so far down my throat, they're practically wearing me like leather long johns!"

---

Just a scene wherein Bruno "Mr. Dynamite" Delinger, Cindy Holiday from Dynamite Cop get a bit of a chewing out from their superior.

Useless Project X Zone fact of the day: Frank West, Bruno Delinger, and Segata Sanshiro are the only characters in the series who are modeled after real life people. Those people being Ben Affleck, Bruce Willis, and Hiroshi Fujioka, respectively.

Hans Gruber from Die Hard!!

Hans Gruber has a Ryu Number of 4/3.

(explanation below)

Yes, that is the same image for John McClane and Bruno Delinger. There's some semantics to work through.

Dynamite Deka is a game developed by Sega and released in arcades around July 1996 starring a blue-jacketed fellow named Bruno Delinger as one of the playable characters. It was released next month in North America as Die Hard Arcade starring a blue-jacketed fellow named... John McClane. You know, as in Die Hard's John McClane.

So there's a regional difference in naming. Precedence with Herlock Sholmes/Sherlock Holmes for Ryunosuke Naruhodo's Ryu Number might suggest that Delinger and McClane should be treated as the same character, which would give Hans Gruber a Ryu Number of 2.

However, I would argue otherwise. Sega released a sequel to Dynamite Deka, which was localized as Dynamite Cop, lacking the Die Hard licensing and John McClane altogether. As a result, Bruno Delinger exists in another game independent of John McClane, so asserting that they are one and the same becomes considerably dodgier.

Put simply, even if it is fair to say Bruno Delinger and John McClane are in Dynamite Deka/Die Hard Arcade, I think it is fair to say that Bruno Delinger is not in Die Hard for the NES and John McClane is not in Project X Zone.

So they're not the same character. But they could still be in the same game, which would give Hans Gruber a Ryu Number of 3.

To that end, I'm going to appeal to semantics. The character named "Bruno Delinger" and the character named "John McClane" never appear in the same game. Delinger is in Dynamite Deka and McClane is in Die Hard Arcade, but there exists of no build of either game where both are present. They're mutually exclusive, in other words.

I will grant that this line of reasoning is less bulletproof, which is why I included the 3 above. For the record, though, 4 feels more correct to me, whatever that's worth.

Dynamite Cop (1999)

A ridiculous beat-em up that is definitely NOT a Die Hard game.

I'm a sucker for a beat-em ups. Things like Turtles in Time, Streets of Rage, Fight Force, they all have some special sauce that keeps me beating-them-up for quite some time. Dynamite Cop neatly fits into that mold and turns the absurdity dial up quite high.

In this game you play as one of three characters Bruno Delinger, Jean Ivy, or Eddie Brown who are setting out on a mission to save the presidents daughter from a group of modern day pirates who have hijacked a cruise liner. That's a real video-game-ass-video-game plot if I've ever seen it.

Now is also a good time to mention that the main antagonist's name is this game is Wolf Hongo. One more time, Wolf Hongo. I just love that.

Anyway you progress through the game by fighting through hordes of Mr. Hongo's pirates and eventually coming into conflict with Wolf himself. After a fight in which Wolf regularly shoots tiny nuclear bombs at you from his eyeball, you beat him and in turn beat the game.

Dynamite Cop is another instance of a game on dreamcast that owes a lot of it's design to the affordances that an arcade game has. It works on a continue system, the game itself is intended to be able to be beat in smaller sessions, and the replayability is based on the different routes and rooms you can find in the game. I think all of that works just fine in this game because the base system of fighting "bad dudes" is still a blast and I just love how ridiculous everything is in here.

All that said, playing a game like this in 2022 has a few things that hold it back from being great.

The most notable is that the game just isn't going to last you very long. Once you've gone through the different routes on your way to save the presidents daughter and played as the different characters there really isn't much else to do. You could boot the difficulty up for a bigger challenge but "getting good at dynamite cop" is not something that's very high on my priority list.

The other thing that's hard to ignore for me is the obvious copaganda that this game has built into it. It's literally in the title. I do wish that Sega was able to retain the Die Hard license for this game because the story of some dude taking on hordes of bad guys is a lot more compelling (and believable) than the idea that some brave cops are going to go save the day. I realize that this viewpoint is very 1999, but it's hard to ignore when playing through this now.

Overall I had a good time with this one, and would talk about it conversations about fun beat-em-ups. However, I'm not likely to bring it up as one of the best games on the console.

Project X Zone series English Dub hypothetical cast

Look below the cut, this got kinda long... n__n; Please note that I’m only listing the ones that have had official English dub voices.

Project X Zone

Yuri Lowell: Troy Baker Estellise Sidos Heurassein: Eden Riegel or Cherami Leigh? (Riegel provided Estelle’s dub voice in the Tales of Vesperia game(s), while Leigh dubbed her in the movie, The First Strike) Flynn Scifo: Sam Riegel Jin Kazama: Brad Swaile (Street Fighter x Tekken English voice) Ling Xiaoyu: Carrie Keranen (Tekken: Blood Vengeance English voice) Heihachi Mishima: Jamieson Price (Blood Vengeance and SFxT English voice) Alisa Bosconovitch: Cristina Valenzuela or Michele Knotz? (Blood Vengeance and SFxT voices, respectively) KOS-MOS: Bridget Hoffman or Luci Christian? (Hoffman voiced her in Xenosaga Episodes I and III; Christian voiced her in Xenosaga: The Animation) T-elos: see above (Bridget Hoffman voiced both KOS-MOS and T-elos in Episode III, so it would only make sense if Luci got to take a crack at T-elos when she also voiced KOS-MOS.) Kite: Mona Marshall BlackRose: Wendee Lee Soma Schicksal: Yuri Lowenthal or Crispin Freeman? (I haven’t gotten to hear much, if any, of either voice yet...) Alisa Ilinichina Amiella: Kate Higgins or Cherami Leigh? (Same case as Soma...) Lindow Amamiya: Kyle Hebert Neneko: Luci Christian (She voiced Neneko in the English dub of the Yumeria anime, but she didn’t sound like a little girl, which Neneko seems like she is supposed to be. She may have to use a “little girl” voice for Neneko.) Neito: Tiffany Salinas? (TBH, I didn’t see much of the Yumeria anime, and even less of Salinas’s performance in the English dub. What little I have seen seems acceptable, but I’m honestly a bit afraid to watch the anime for myself... ‘Course, I’m kind of a coward, so... ;v;  ) Selvaria Bles: April Stewart Sakura Shinguji: Wendee Lee Ichiro Ogami: Dave Wittenberg Gemini Sunrise: Laura Bailey Erica Fontaine: Caitlin Glass? (She voiced Erica in the dub of the anime Sakura Wars: School of Paris, and that was the only time Erica Fontaine was dubbed.) Toma: Nick Tagas Cyrille: Erin M. Cahill Riemsianne La Vaes: Amy Provenzano Zephyr: Scott Menville Leanne: Jessica DiCicco Vashyron: Nolan North Bruno Delinger: (No official English voice, but I picture him being dubbed by the celebrity he resembles, Bruce Willis. XD  If not him, then someone who can convincingly sound like him.) Ulala: Cherami Leigh (I would say Apollo Smile, but she has retired from voice acting. : (   ) Mega Man X: Mark Gatha (Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X - The Day of Sigma) Zero: Lucas Gilbertson Tron Bonne: Caroly Larson; failing that, Tara Platt Servbots: Elizabeth Hanna or...whoever voiced them in Marvel vs. Capcom 3? Vile: Roger Rhodes? Ryu: Kyle Hebert? Ken Masters: Reuben Langdon Chun-Li: Laura Bailey Juri: Jessica Straus Seth: Michael McConnohie Chris Redfield: Roger Craig Smith Jill Valentine: Patricia Ja Lee Dante: Reuben Langdon Lady: Kari Wahlgren Morrigan Aensland: Kathleen Barr or Siobhan Flynn? (Barr voiced Morrigan in the anime Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge, while Flynn provided her English voice in Marvel vs Capcom 3. Barr nailed the range of emotions, and Flynn had a genuine Scottish accent (Morrigan apparently originated in Scotland). Makes it hard to decide...) Demitri Maximoff: Paul Dobson (Darkstalkers’ Revenge voice) Hsien-Ko: Nicole Oliver Lord Raptor: Scott McNeil Jedah Dohma: Travis Willingham or David Kaye? Aura: Lia Sargent Iris: Michelle Gazepis? (I have no idea what the quality of the voice acting was in Mega Man X4...) Frank West: TJ Rotolo Arthur: Daniel Woren

Project X Zone 2

Leon S. Kennedy: Paul Mercier or Matthew Mercer? Ada Wong: Sally Cahill or Jolene Andersen? Vergil: Daniel Southworth Nero Angelo: David Keeley (I don’t remember if Nero has any voice acting in PXZ2, but it seems like I should list this guy...) M. Bison: Gerald C. Rivers Phoenix Wright: Ben Judd, Trevor White, or Eric Vale? Maya Fey: Samantha Dakin, Abby Trott, or Lindsay Seidel Miles Edgeworth: Mark Healy Felicia: Janyse Jaud Pyron: David Kaye Strider Hiryu: Marc Biagi (though it would be cool if his English voice was provided by a genuinely Japanese actor) Hotsuma: Jordan Rosa? Hibana: Karen Swenson Kazuma Kiryu: Darryl Kurylo (English voice in the first Yakuza game) Goro Majima: Mark Hamill (see Kazuma) Ranmaru: Dorothy Fahn Shadow: Tom Clarke Hill? Cardinal Garigliano: Dave B. Mitchell Ryo Hazuki: Corey Marshall Zagi: Roger Craig Smith Kazuya Mishima: Jordan Byrne Haseo: Andrew Francis or Yuri Lowenthal? Natsu: Kate Higgins Ciel Alencon: Cristina Valenzuela Nana Kazuki: Cassandra Lee Morris Aty: Melissa Gulden (Apparently, she’s going to provide this character’s dub voice in the upcoming Summon Night 6: Lost Borders.) Fiora: Carina Reeves Metal Face / Mumkhar: Timothy Watson Chrom: Matthew Mercer Lucina: Laura Bailey Tiki: Mela Lee

As for deciding on English-language voices for those who haven’t had an official dub yet, I wouldn’t know where to begin... Other than that, please let me know if I missed anyone!

Beat 'Em Up Guys by JoeAdok

A redraw/edit/whatever of Streets of Rage 4's character select screen featuring chars from some less prominent Sega beat 'em up games. Featuring: Bruno Delinger (Dynamite Cop) Bin (Dynamite Dux) Spike (Spikeout) Rikiya Busujima (Zombie Revenge) --- Also Kiryu is there too.

[w0rld0flight]

In other good news, I recently discovered this Project X Zone wallpaper!

I can't believe I only found this yesterday, it looks amazing ;w;

Featuring some of the game's solo units!

[w0rld0flight]

Hmm…do you ever think about how Project X Zone technically has a movie character in the cast?

Okay so basically there's this game by Sega called Dynamite Deka, which was called Die Hard Arcade overseas, making it a licensed game based on the film of the same name. The reasoning for that is because Sega does not have the rights the Die Hard movie in Japan.

That is why Die Hard Arcade got turned into an original IP in Japan titled Dynamite Deka, and John McClane became an original character named Bruno Delinger.

Plus, Bruno's outfit was changed in the international version of Project X Zone in order to avoid any resemblance to Bruce Willis, the actor behind John McClane

Photo 1: Bruno's design in the original Japanese version Photo 2: Bruno's design in the international version

So, yeah. In conclusion: Yes, Project X Zone in fact, technically has a character from a movie.

Oh and you want to know something funny? Ben Hiura, the voice actor of Bruno Delinger, is also the Japanese voice actor of the characters portrayed by Bruce Willis. I just thought I wanted to share that piece of info because it's kind of relevant LOL

In fact, some PXZ fans even call Bruno "Bruce Willis" because of the uncanny resemblance he has LOL

D.D. Crew by JoeAdok 

Team D.D. - A team of cops consisting of Leader, F.F. the Jackalope, no. 2, King the Steer, martial artist Gung Ho the Ram and strongman, Buster the Moose. They lock horns against the criminal element when the situation calls for a heavy hand from tough dudes, A.K.A. the Bruno Delinger/Alex Stone approach. I'd drawn King and Buster before and wanted to draw the other half of the team at some point. They're based on these dudes

[runningwithhelicopters]

That wouldn't have happened had he turned up in a helicopter with 'Pizza' written on the side.

[w0rld0flight]

DANG IT I KEEP FORGETTING TO MAKE THIS FOLLOW UP POST 😭😭😭 I have college work alright...

Anyways, there are two other characters in the PXZ series that are modeled after real people, and those are Kiryu and Kazuya.

It's unknown as to who Kiryu's modeled after, but Kazuya is based off of Yukio Mishima, the author of Confessions of a Mask.

Useless Project X Zone fact of the day: Frank West, Bruno Delinger, and Segata Sanshiro are the only characters in the series who are modeled after real life people. Those people being Ben Affleck, Bruce Willis, and Hiroshi Fujioka, respectively.
