Okay... I've never done anything like this before, but I've had ideas floating around in my head of ideas for another project X zone game. There is a sequel confirmed, and it looks cool, but here are my ideas for new characters, features, etc. it will be updated as I come up with new ideas, and feel free to post your own. Okay, first things first.

NEW COMPANY

While I think the game has a good chunk of cool characters across the 3 companies represented, Namco, Capcom, and Sega, and they interact in good ways, I would like to see another company brought in: Konami! I think that Konami characters would be nice, and could make up some new, interesting teams and worlds for a future game. Which brings me to my next idea.

NEW CHARACTERS

Here are the bulk of my ideas, new characters and pairings! I'll try to think of different characters from different companies, with attempts at how i think they'd deal with the multiverse story in project X zone, how they'd fight, how they'd interact, and why I would put characters from 2 companies together.

Sonic the hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic the hedgehog series, Sega.) Because why not? Sonic is Sega's mascot, and I feel like he wouldn't think too much on this whole multi reality plot in the game, plus they make a great team and would make for some cool combos in battle.

Viewtiful joe and Sketch turner (Viewtiful Joe and Comix zone series, Capcom and Sega, respectively) The multiverse thing wouldn't phase these 2 at ALL! Sketch got sucked into his own comic, for Pete's sake!! Now, as for why these 2 together? I could see these 2 very surfer, radical, comic book, side scrolling dudes complementing each other well, both in combat, with their varieties of barehanded combo attacks pummeling the enemies, and in conversations, with their dialogue being more light hearted. Heck, Sketch could even make some slight fourth wall breaking comments!

Mega man and Protoman (Classic Mega man series, Capcom.) Because we already have X and Zero from the X series, and Tron Bonne from the legends series, why not give the original blue bomber some love? Now, of course, the 2 original bros would use the powers from the original series, with some buster and shield action mixed in, and story wise, I could see them encountering X and Zero, maybe them seeing each other as enemies, thinking they're robot masters/ mavericks, fighting at first, then coming together, but still interacting alot, like,"Wow, so you're the original model, I'm not sure I can compare to you with my self doubting pacifism", and maybe meeting some of their respective enemies in the game. Vile and Wily will be seeing double!!


Bill Rizer and Lance Bean (Contra series, Konami) If they DID add Konami, this classic duo would imo have to be a no-brainer! They'd use the different gun upgrades like the flamethrower and of course the SPREAD GUN!!!, being like Zephyr and Leanne in that they'd only use guns, but with their years of teamwork, they'd be shooting in perfect unison, plus wouldn't be so prone to just flipping and cartwheeling around while shooting. Story-wise, they're used to sci-fi stuff, robots and aliens and etc, and probably wouldn't believe they're fighting against and alongside fantasy creatures, users of swords and sorcery, and gods that are from some of the worlds, but then they'll really have seen everything! (and of course, because of this game's habit of title drops of the original game, like "Street fighter" or the "Land of ghosts and goblins" or "let the super robot wars begin!!" they'd have to be referred to as the "Contra force" or mentioned to have fought in the "Alien wars")


Jude Mathis and Milla Maxwell (Tales of Xillia, Namco Bandai) While seeing Yuri Lowell, my favorite tales of character, in the first game was cool, and him and Flynn Scifo have been confirmed to return in the sequel, and I understand they're very popular characters, in my opinion Jude and Milla would make alot more sense. With tales of Xillia already having a "cross battle" mechanic, they're already very used to fighting in perfect unison, with their skill at surrounding the enemy and attacking from different angles, and their literally combining their attacks, with their dual artes, would make for a unique new thing to see in Project X Zone's over-the-top battles.

Virgil and Alucard (Devil May Cry and Castlevania series, Capcom and Konami, respectively) While the older, full-blooded son of Sparda has been confirmed for an appearance in PXZ2, I can see him and Dracula's son going well together! While they do have opposite feelings about their fathers, Virgil being the proud son of Sparda and Alucard determined to defeat Dracula,and Alucard being cold and calm while Virgil is proud and arrogant, they say opposites attract, and these 2 are more alike than you'd think. The Yamato and the Alucard sword would complement each other well in combat, they could overwhelm enemies with their respective sword summoning skills, the Beowulf and one of Alucard's fist weapons from symphony of the night pounding foes into dust, and in their ultimate attack, Virgil would go into devil trigger while Alucard goes into "Dark prince"... I can picture Alucard folding his cape around him and beginning to bombard the opponent with his Hellfire, Dark inferno, and soul steal skills reminiscent of his father and finishing by growing wings and flying towards the enemy and cutting them through. (Like the end of his ultimate in judgement)



Strider Hiryu and Joe Musashi (Strider and Shinobi series, Capcom and Sega series, respectively) Again, Hiryu has been confirmed for the game, and one of Joe's descendants, Hotsuma from the ps2 game, is confirmed to be partnered with Natsu from soul calibur 5, but the 2 classic platforming ninja heroes belong together! They can both cling to walls, they're both super fast, and are alike in several other ways! I can see one of their attacks being where they cling to the (Invisible) stage walls and shoot several shurikens/kunais at the enemy, slash them a couple times, and jump kick them off the walls for good measure. These 2 guys are just awesome, and their similar styles would make them fit together really well.

Okay, that's all I have for now, let me know what you guys think, and as I said, I'll update as I think of more characters and misc. ideas for the game. Lemme know on the thread if you like these ideas, have any character ideas of your own, and if you want me to change anything about these pairings. Thanks, and I'll see you soon with more ideas for the project x zone series!
