\"kobunicon\"<\/a>Even though Namco Bandai is my favorite video game company, of the three game makers featured in Project X-Zone, I\u2019m probably more familiar with the Capcom roster in this 3DS action strategy RPG featuring heroes and villains from Namco Bandai, Capcom, and SEGA\u2019s games. Since last time we looked at the Namco Bandai characters found in Project X-Zone, this time we\u2019ll look at the Capcom ones.<\/p>\n

One thing that I didn\u2019t note last time was there are a couple of playable characters that aren\u2019t from any game, they were created specifically for Project X-Zone. They\u2019re supposed to be central to the story, but the plot is not very important in this game. One character is an anime dude who is supposed to be a detective. The other is a high school anime girl who wears a trampy maid outfit. They both team up together, and the detective guy says some slightly perverted things to the girl, so I just want to smack him sometimes. Needless to say, this game is rated T for Teen. Anyway, enough of that, let\u2019s look at the Capcom characters.<\/p>\n

Team Pairs<\/strong><\/p>\n

While all the team pairs from Namco and SEGA are from the same games, sometimes the Capcom characters are teamed up a little differently. Not all, but some. So we\u2019ll look at the pairs first.<\/p>\n

Chris Redfield & Jill Valentine<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know much about Resident Evil games, but I at least know who these characters are. Chris Redfield looks like he ate a can of spinach before fighting the zombies, which is probably a good thing to do. I don\u2019t know much about Jill Valentine either, but I think she\u2019s cool for some reason. I like to call her Jill Sandwich.<\/p>\n

Dante & Demitri<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Devil May Cry games have never appealed to me, but I do know who Dante is. This is classic Dante with the white hair and all. He\u2019s teamed up with Demitri, the vampire guy from Darkstalkers.<\/p>\n

Ryu & Ken<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are just the boring ol\u2019 karate dudes from Street Fighter games. Ken is less boring than Ryu, but both are still pretty stale by now.<\/p>\n

Chun-Li & Morrigan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another weird team up. Street Fighter starlet Chun-Li and her big ol\u2019 muscle legs are pretty cool, but I don\u2019t like Darkstalkers\u2019 Morrigan very much. I don\u2019t like vampires, and I know she\u2019s a succubus, not a vampire, but she still creeps me out. She says some pretty weird stuff in the game, too. Only thing I like about Morrigan is she has cool green hair.<\/p>\n

X & Zero<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yay! While I\u2019d rather have classic Mega Man or the Legends cast like in Namco X Capcom, I\u2019ll still take the X cast and be happy. As a big Mega Man fan, I think it\u2019s cool that they were put in this game, at least.<\/p>\n

Frank West & Hsien-Ko<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last pair team is pretty weird, too, but one of my favorites. I always pick Hsien-Ko in Puzzle Fighter and Darkstalkers for some reason. Frank West is from the Dead Rising games, and he\u2019s pretty funny here. While Dead Rising games aren\u2019t my cup of tea, I had fun watching brother Jeff play them because they\u2019re really more silly than scary. In Project X-Zone, Frank West uses weapons thrown to him by Hsien-Ko. He also takes pictures of nearly every character in the game, especially the fanservice-y girl ones (it even has a \u201cPerfect\u201d icon pop up when he does). One of the stages you battle in is the shopping mall from the first Dead Rising game, too!<\/p>\n

Single Team Units<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as before, there are also single characters who can be paired with a team of two for an extra burst of attack if you have enough XP. So here are the Capcom ones.<\/p>\n

Lady<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not very familiar with characters from Devil May Cry. But I will say that this one\u2019s name is easy to remember! That\u2019s probably what I\u2019d end up calling her anyway!<\/p>\n

Juri<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Street Fighter 4 newbie starts out as a bad guy, but I guess she joins your team later. Kind of like how Cammy did in Namco X Capcom (I wish she were in this game). Juri has a cool outfit, funny hair, and a neat purple glowy eye. Only problem is that she\u2019s really mean. If she were nicer, I\u2019d like her more.<\/p>\n

Tron Bonne<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that Tron Bonne is one of the best characters Capcom has ever designed. She\u2019s a likable bad guy, and even though she\u2019s a female character, Capcom didn\u2019t give her the fanservice treatment. She\u2019s fully clothed and not designed to be a sex object like so many other Capcom female characters. Best of all is that she built and commands the adorable little Servebots, little LEGO men-like robots with squeaky voices and innocent demeanors. There are lots of Servebot references in Dead Rising, even in Project X-Zone, Frank West remarks that the Servebots look familiar to him! So even though I\u2019m disappointed that we\u2019ll never get Mega Man Legends 3, I am thankful for Project X-Zone for letting Tron and the Servebots run around on my 3DS anyway.<\/p>\n

Arthur<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s the hero from the Ghosts N Goblins games. I never liked those games because they were too hard. But Arthur\u2019s attacks are pretty funny in Project X-Zone. He keeps losing his armor and ends up in his underwear. It\u2019s like a running gag. I do wish they\u2019d let Maximo have some of the spotlight, though.<\/p>\n

Devilot<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019s from a game called Cyberbots, a fighting game where people pilot giant robot fighters. Devilot is a spoiled princess girl who has a mean streak and isn\u2019t as innocent as she looks. Most may recognize her from other appearances in games like Puzzle Fighter and Pocket Fighter.<\/p>\n

Batsu<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s the main character from Rival Schools, a fan favorite 3-D fighter from the Dreamcast days. I know some of the characters in Rival Schools, but I\u2019m not very familiar with them or the games. So one of you can pick out a favorite Rival Schools character for me, OK?<\/p>\n

Enemies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the enemies you fight are from other games, too. There are a lot of recognizable ones from Capcom. You have Nemesis from the Resident Evil titles, Jedah, Lord Raptor, and Q-Bee from Darkstalkers, Seth from Street Fighter, Vile from Mega Man X (Iris also appears, but not as an enemy), Asteroth and Red Arremer from Ghosts N Goblins, and some Reaverbots from the Mega Man Legends games.<\/p>\n

Capcom Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all the Capcom characters I know in Project X-Zone! In the comments section, let me know which ones are your favorites, and which Capcom characters you\u2019d like to see in the game! Can you guess my favorites? For the final installment of my Project X-Zone blog series, we\u2019ll look at the characters from SEGA next week! Later! –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
