"Agent J but he's in a different outfit 'cause he went to Japan for Ouendan dances and to support" brainrot

Some Elite Beat Agents art because I love this game oh boy

THE ONLY TIME I'M PROUD OF MY ART... AND IT'S AGENT J ANYWAYS! Sorry for being somewhat inactive for the last couple days or so, I'm gonna be posting more Ouendan/EBA content whether it's from the actual game or fanart or anything like that, I've just not had much motivation lately. MUSIC LIVES!!!

If Elite Beat Agents/Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan makes it into Super Smash Bros.

TThere’s about 3 options for what could happen:

Its means a bunch of licensed music would be put into the game. And playing Smash Bros. to a cover/remix of YMCA or David Bowie would be freaking HILARIOUS. Or the various J-Pop/J-Rock of Ouendan!

The EBA/Ouendan stage would be unique with the Original Stages in that it can also play every single song in the game.

OR

They just let the composers and arrangers go Hog Wild and make their own original songs for the game/stage.

(or a potential combo of the above)

Twitter

there’s also THE

“Agents are.... GO!!”

“The Elite Beat Agents are at your service!”

been debating bout sharing these dudes for a bit cause like, the Elite Beat Agents tag is very inactive rn and I don’t want to clutter it with my fan project ocs, but I do really wanna share them so I’m saying screw it and making a big ol post about them. most of which will be under the cut! before that though, here’s the pitch for this sequel idea, Elite Beat Agents: Music Lives!

It’s been ten years since the events of the first Elite Beat Agents game, however not all is well. over the years the EBA has disbanded, and with that, it’s agents have slowly been going missing, until only J was left. However, it’s not all bad news! there’s a new group in town, lead by a 20 year old named Jack, ready to fill the void the EBA left in their absence. Because even if the Elite Beat Agents are gone, Music Lives!

alrighty,  also before we get onto the characters, here’s a logo mockup I made

anyways, lets get into characters! here’s the top row we have our main playable group! they take up the group of who you’d play as throughout single player mode. 

K (She/her) and Ray (he/him) are the backup dancers, with jack (he/they) being the player character for Normal mode, Lewis (they/them) being easy and quincy (They/She) being hard. The player characters were all inspired to become elite beat agents via the actions of various agents during the rhombulan attack. I don’t have all of them fleshed out yet, but this is when Jack get’s chieftain’s hat. K was inspired by her dad to go after this life, cause her dad is agent J! she was also partially raised by the other agents before they went missing cause like, Found family is a really good trope. Ray’s was more inspired by his father’s tales of the Ouendan over in japan, but cause he lived in america, the EBA life seemed like the closest he could get to helping people the way the ouendan did. 

Next up is this game’s version of the divas! 

Wolf (she/her) is the leader of this group, and she’s Foxx’s kid. Like K she was inspired to do this stuff by her mom! but now that she’s missing, Wolf is getting help from her friends to find her. her friends, by the way are Jace (they/them) and Callie (She/her)! Jace is Ray’s twin sibling and callie is Wolf’s childhood friend (soon to be girlfriend, they get together during a song in the game) and they do show up in singleplayer asides from that song, even if you’re not playing their difficulty mode. they help whoever you’re playing as get a lead on where the agents have vanished!

and lastly, a fun case, the Traveling Cheer Squad! 

The reason these guys exist was I wanted to put an ouendan-inspired group into the game! June (he/they) and July (They/them) are half siblings who moved over to the states from japan, where they experienced the ouendan first hand. and they wanted to start something like that over here! They wrap their friend Elena (She/They) into it as well, and they’re a fun case cause like... you meet them in the game because they’ve disbanded, cause they weren’t the best at cheering people on. however Elena still wants to help people so she gets the new eba peeps to help show her how, which also gets june and july back into the swing of things! they are also playable for a song in the end game of singleplayer mode, as for Plot Reasons the eba gang are out of commission. other than that they’re mainly playable for multiplayer mode.

anyways that’s pretty much it for now. I have a lot of Thoughts on these buds but the EBA tag is not very active currently so I don’t want to clutter it with ocs when people look for art of the actual characters. Other than that, I hope y’all enjoy them! 

I watched an interview with one of the INIS devs and apparently Makes No Difference was originally Living La Vida Loca and the beatmap of the stage was worked on at some point. Also those high poly models of J, Derek, Morris, Ryuta, and that other ouendan character from Brawl still exist somewhere. And someone from the INIS team threw J's model into unreal engine with a bunch of cool dancy test animations in this really grungy shooty game. And like they shot him, but he just kept dancing. And oh my god I absolutely wish I could've seen that. I just.... Fuck I love looking into the behind the scenes of EBA. (Oh yeah and limited printed shirts with Kahn's iconic line, "Agents Are Go!" on them exist and they were only given to a handful of people. I am. Quaking.)

Put your stealthy background support on holiday they all deserve it.

Have a firm belief that Agents should use up annual leave as they see fit.

Let's go team!

Agent J’s gotta fix his hair in the downtime between song and dance.
