Hi Fi Rush Turnarounds: Part 1

Here are the turnarounds for the main characters! Had to split Kale's mech version up so he wasn't absolutely tiny. Also had to get in game shots of Mimosa during her fight because the game didn't have her normal form as a model.

Robots to come soon!

I just created a Hi-Fi Rush AU!(along with a friend who has enabled my hyperfixation) :D Presenting...

The Swapped!AU (or the HiFiSwapped!AU, for tagging purposes)

This Au changes the main team, loosely like this:

Chai is Chai, he is eternal 

Peppermint gets replaced by Kale

808 gets replaced by a new character, 373 the doggo bot

Macaron gets replaced by Zanzo 

Korsica gets replaced by Rekka 

and Roquefort is there

On top of that, Peppermint replaces Kale as the CEO (And Macaron replaces Zanzo, but yeah)

I also replaced Roquefort with a brainwashed Roxanne as the Head of Finance because i really wanted to keep it down with the ocs.

Ok! Now i show you my designs and explain more (cut here because this is a long post)

First of:

AU!Peppermint

I based most of her redesign on her costumes.

In this AU, she felt ignored by her family due to Kale being the favored child and, after a few years of planning, took over Vandelay Technologies.

She usurped the company from Roxanne simularly to Kale, using a program/AU!Spectra to control Roxanne to step down and become the Head of Finance instead.

She is a hands on type of person, so she is more prominent than Kale was canonically.

AU!Kale

His and Peppermints ages are closer together in this Au.

Kale is pretty simular to his canon self. He was used to other people doing most of the work for him and is very bossy at the start. He left home because he felt like he wasn't his own person(and because he thought his mother was too overbearing).

He was, like Peppermint, very skeptical of Chai in the beginning, but he was glad to not have to do all the dirty work anymore.

He can overcharge doors and vents, but he can't break the shields of the enemies. Due to this, they don't get introduced until the R&D tracks. Oh and Zanzo takes this over once he gets around.

This counts as an oc i think. 373 (Now known as Subw00fr!) My baby boy!

He was named after a synthesizer

373 is Kales version of 808! He is based on a golden retriever. Nothing more to say here this is the best one

AU!Roquefort

This version of him starts as a human, suffering from a chronic illness. He was a family friend of the Vandelays and stuck around with Kale as a father figure.

As the story progresses, he will eventually look like his canon version. This lets him do the same things Korsica canonically does.

AU!Rekka

Rekka starts as the Head of Production like in canon. She is a lot less overbearing and more reasonable (She is still the strict Boss we love tho-) and she is very skeptical of Peppermint, as in this AU she was the Head of Production under Roxanne as well.

After the canon fight, instead of exploding she joins the gang instead (due to Roquefort convincing her. Neither Kale nor Chai would manage that at this point)

Due to her strength, she can break Z-Shielding, which gets introduced earlier in this AU. And she replaces Korsica in the Hideout.

AU!Zanzo

Zanzo was the Head of R&D under Roxanne instead of Macaron. His money spending habits were not canon-level bad in this AU because otherwise this would not work-

He was subsequently thrown out as Peppermint took over and from then on hid in R&D. Alone.

In this AU he was also the one that build Kales robot body after an accident. This is so I can write drama because they now know eachother.

Zanzo replaces Macaron in the Hideout and can overload regular shielding(with his swords like the anime character he is) . He also constantly tests new stuff on Chai, under the guise of 'Training'.

Sooo

I will be writing a fanfiction on this AU and i will link it here once i get it going!

Hope you enjoyed my chaos!

Tati looks so devious as hell

[felixthethief]

ok so one of the things of hifi rush im curious about is after kale blew up the lift with chai and korsica. this little scene of them falling off the track cutting immediately to korsica waking up and discovering she has implants now. the wounds are never seen completely. it’s implied that they’re pretty bad as one of the in between track walk around and talk with the characters had peppermint say that they literally had to bring her back to life. meaning she was clinically dead for some time.

i’m trying to figure out what the wounds looked like when freshly sustained.

[lumpy-veev]

Look me in the eye and tell me planned obsolescence would not have been Kale’s next brilliant plan. Mayhaps followed up with establishing a monopoly on Vandelay Island, making non-Vandelay parts that might be cheaper or easier to come by incompatible with Vandelay Tech.

Mandatory software updates! Except they cause prosthetics and implants to run in a less energy-efficient way, degrading them and making them things that need to be replaced. Where are you gonna buy replacements? Vandelay! SPECTRA doesn’t even have to do much convincing, if the prosthetic/implant is vital for quality of life. 

If SPECTRA isn’t long range (i.e. only covers Vandelay Island), it’d be awful inconvenient if people left, and then didn’t come back. Maybe Kale would deem it necessary to make Vandelay cybernetics depend on the SPECTRA signal to run properly. Ooh, maybe he’d make it so that people could purchase time away from the island. Make a fun little subscription service out of it. 

I just think a Kale-run Vandelay Island could get real dystopic reaaaaal fast.

Hi Fi Rush Special Moments

Decided to compile all the special action scenes. Or at least what I THINK is all of them. I have a feeling I missed some.

I'm surprised not every boss has a special kill hit. I noticed Mimosa's at first and went back and was surprised that I couldn't find one for Roquefort, Korsica, and Zanzo. Though technically Zanzo does have those kinda special scenes where I think it's a Jo-Jo reference (which I was going to add here but decided against).

Also sorry for the kinda bad quality for Kale's finisher pictures. They happen so fast I had to record my gameplay and then try to slow down the video and take screenshots of the moments (Chai's moment was the hardest because there's only a split second where his chat box isn't on screen at the time).

[deadly-glamourtail]

I wanted to test Krita to try animations sometime, and when I saw this post, I just knew what to do

Not shipping related, it was just the funnier option to play with the acearo Chai hc

More Random Headcanons (most reposted from Discord)

They involve the Bosses to no one's surprise

⚡Rekka and 🐺 Roquefort have the most consistent sleep schedules of all the bosses. They're the kind of people to shut off/silence their phones at night.

🍍 Zanzo often passes out in random spots around Vandelay, but he can only sleep in one particular spot under a particular set of conditions. Too hot? No sleep. Too cold? No sleep. Lights are on? No sleep. Brain won't shut off? Absolutely no sleep

🖌️Pmidge has used sleeping Zanzo as a canvas before.

🍹If Mimosa doesn't have any prior engagements, she is rarely up before 10 am. (Funny brunch time)

🍹 Mimosa's birthday is May 16th - mimosa day!

Zanzo 🤝 Mimosa 🤝 Roquefort - chronic pain

Rekka 🤝 Zanzo 🤝 Kale (and maybe Roquefort) - phantom pain and limbs

Zanzo 🤝 Kale - chronic fatigue

⚡Plant Mom Rekka. She has a collection of 🌵succulents and cacti🌵 at her apartment. No canon basis for this, I thought it was cute. (Your mileage may vary on whether or not she's a GOOD plant mom)

⚡Also Rekka gives the best (sometimes) hugs out of all the department heads. Because I said so 🙃

[linkita-chan-20053]

My friend and i had an idea... so we did this...

BEHOLD!

"Chai The Platypus!" and "Dr. Kale Vandelay!"

Don't blame us. We couldn't stop lol
