Shantel Jameson

```
Sassy Boxer

```

**Shantel Jameson** is the character of Battle Rhythm.

## Appearance

Her fighting style is an amalgamation of Vanessa (from The King of Fighters), Dudley and Steve Fox. Her personality is pretty much remiscent of Jacqui Briggs (with the same english voice actress I choose in form of Danielle Nicolet to the point), and for a bonus, she has the famous "Mikasa Abs".

## Bios

Shantel is a sassy but rough Bantamweight boxing champion and the younger sister of Murdock. She's also a survivor of a family massacre at the hands of serial killers belonging to a terrorist cult known as the Neo Ku Klux Klan. In recent events, she's a target of a murder planned by Don Z, however, she and her brother swear to put him a lesson that will never forget by competing in the 13th International Tournament of Rhythmic Martial Arts.

	+ Her Super Rhythmic version, **Cross Knockout**, said waves cause more damage and adds a straight punch if the move is connected.
* **Upper Rush:** She rushes and then does an uppercut punch to her opponent. Serves as a Combo Opener.
	+ Her Super Rhythmic version, **Upper TKO**, dashes twice the speed and deals five hits in succession.
* **Evasive Maneuver:** She zips to her opponent either backwards or forwards and tresspasses others' projectiles. Can be followed with either a *Power Jab* or a *Gut Punch*, and both follow-up attacks serve as a Combo Opener.

* **Ground Quake:** She does a ground punch, tripping her opponent.
	+ Her Super Rhythmic version, **Ground Tremor**, the tripping effect goes further at low speed, allowing her to make juggles.

### Ultra Rhythmic Move

* **Gold Digger:** Shantel prepares by pumping both of her fists as she says "It's 'bout goddamn time!" and then dashes towards her opponent. If this move connects, she does a series of punches towards him/her with peak-speed. Her opponent gets groggy from the punches and Shantel prepares a huge uppercut to his/her head, sending her opponent to fly. Shantel turns backwards arrogantly and then raises her right fist with a smirk as her opponent falls to the ground.
