I think it may be our faulty assumption that the event of Zero saving Iris' life happened during X4.

A No-Prize worthy leap of speculation. I guess we gotta have Iris in another prequel game now, right? I can't argue with that.

Quote

Identifying her as "Colonel's sister" is more personal than "one of our navigators." Also, that line was clearly phrased using Colonel's name in order to clarify Zero's past transgressions.

Perhaps, but it's still a sloppy way to go about it. The fact that Zero defeated Colonel (let alone that Iris's grief over that is what drove her into battle) is referenced only in the Crosspedia and not in the game's dialogue, so I don't think that was really necessary. The significance of mentioning Colonel by name is lost on anyone who doesn't already know who Iris's brother is.

As it is, the scene reads as X twisting a knife in Zero's heart out of ignorance, and I don't think that X is that dense. But it is a pretty nitpicky complaint considering how much research the guys behind this game did.

Hopefully map design is a little more varied this time, most were WAY to large and empty in the original, made for a lot of dull dragged out battles.

Oh cool we have God Eater 2 characters.

Hypershell · **Reply #57 on:** May 13, 2015, 12:05:08 AM

I can't imagine any way that Phoenix and Maya being in a PxZ style battle will not be freaking hilarious...

Phi · **Reply #58 on:** May 13, 2015, 12:27:47 AM

He was hilarious in MvC3, so I have high expectations for that kind of fighting style.

I know I'm a few days late, but: Screenshots, including Phoenix and Maya.

Did Zero seriously just do UMvC3 lightning loops?

Hypershell · **Reply #63 on:** July 03, 2015, 05:33:22 PM

It's actually Raikousen from X8, but the fact that he's using it midair does say that they're using "Vs" games as a reference, yeah. Which they're also clearly doing for Sogenmu (why they don't just use Heat Haze...), Hadangeki, and the midair Z-Buster attack.

I'm curious to see if/how Genmu Zero will return, seeings how the trailer shows X doing the cross-charge and a normal-sized Hadouken in that same combo with Raikousen/Sogenmu.

The fact that they ARE using the Z-Buster for more than just menu skills is nice. Means there is some hope of seeing a Double Charge Wave. Or maybe even Nightmare Zero's wide shot.

Also, yay for the random Steel Samurai floating by for Phoenix and Maya.

Soultrigger · **Reply #64 on:** July 03, 2015, 09:59:17 PM

I know what Raikousen is, but the fact that they literally did two back-to-back iterations of midair L Raikousen with Sougenmu, it's undoubtedly a reference to what's called the "Lightning Loop" from UMvC3, a notorious combo that is one of the reasons why Zero is top tier in the game (aside from crazy mixups and buster cancelling).

And if you Google search it, this is one of the first few images that show up, lol:

Sorry about that, fighting game lingo is not one of my strong points. But it sounds like par for the course, since one of Zero's attacks in the first PXZ was the PS1 dash cancel exploit.

Also, that X3 remix is orgasmic. Wonder if they changed Zero's theme as well...

Project X Zone 2: New Characters Trailer

Honestly I don't think anyone saw Chrom and Lucina being added to the game's roster.

Police Girl · **Reply #69 on:** September 19, 2015, 10:28:54 AM

So now its got actual factual Nintendo characters in it?

There's Seven from Xenoblade (Going by the music here).

And Lucina uses her Bridal class at one point, neat.

Holy crap.

Not as if I needed another reason to buy the game, but that can only be good news. Makes me wonder if Lucina's amiibo will do anything.

Only downer is that the game's western release was pushed to 2016. I should probably be thankful given how light my wallet is at the moment, but that was the biggest 3DS game on my list.

No mention of Segata Sanshiro in here? For shame!

A nice lengthy trailer came out. It's japanese, of course, but still awesome. Some things I noticed:
-Some of the characters who seemingly got shafted in the partner reshuffling are returning as support units, ie Estelle and Leanne.
-Edgeworth (Ace Attorney) and Tiki (Fire Emblem) both make appearances! Not sure if they'll be support units or just NPCs, though, as they were shown only in dialogue scenes.
-Genmu Zero is back, appears to be a multi-enemy attack again. Nothing on what X is doing during that move, though.
-Still haven't heard what Zero's theme is for this one, but the soundtrack listing includes "Opening Stage: Zero", so that would seem to narrow it down to 3, 4, 5, or 7.
-One of Lucina's attacks involves her firing off a bow in the Bride outfit.
-Ken and Ryu fight each other at some point, and it seems like Ken's the one going evil.
-Shooting minigame lets you play as either Xiaomu or Valkyrie. I'd be surprised if there wasn't more.
-Apparently Saya has a bunny friend now? ???
-Seems there is a lot more customization, although without being able to read the menus it's hard to say what exactly.

Police Girl · **Reply #73 on:** October 14, 2015, 07:40:38 AM

Was Sigma in the last one?

Looks like its X4 sigma, which means they're either again pulling from pre-X5 canon or they just like X4.

Like that Opening Stage from X3 being remixed. Captain Commando being back is kinda cool.

Also Axel from Streets of Rage, shame no Blaze but SoR representation is cool.

Hypershell · **Reply #74 on:** October 15, 2015, 03:09:44 AM

Sigma was not in the first PxZ. The only Mega Man boss was Vile.

In PxZ2 Zero is clearly using attacks from X7 and X8, so they are using more recent stuff this time around, even if Sigma's body is from X4.
