\"PHOENIX\"<\/a>Project X-Zone 2 is a strategy RPG on the 3DS that stars popular video game characters from companies like SEGA, Bandai Namco, Capcom, and even Nintendo! Over the past couple of weeks, I\u2019ve taken a look at the characters from each of the game companies in this title, and we\u2019ll conclude this blog series by going over the characters on the Capcom side!<\/p>\n

Captain Commando<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think he\u2019s been in all the Namco X Capcom games. He was originally just a spokesperson who thanked you for buying Capcom\u2019s games on the first page of the instruction booklets on the NES, and he looked more like Captain Harlock.\u00a0 But several years later, he got a redesign and a crazy weird arcade beat \u2018em up featuring him and a team of wacky characters like a baby who drives a mech.\u00a0 Needless to say, it was an awesome game.\u00a0 In the other Project X-Zone games, his teammates would help him attack.\u00a0 But in Project X-Zone 2, other classic Capcom characters help out, like the characters from Legendary Wings for instance.\u00a0 Speaking of classic Capcom characters, one of the shopkeepers you can buy items from between stages is Sylphie from Forgotten Worlds.\u00a0 She also sells you cards in SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash.<\/p>\n

June (Star Gladiator)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really know much about Star Gladiator. I think it\u2019s a 3-D fighter, but that\u2019s about all I can tell you.\u00a0 June is a girl in the game who wears lots of pink and fights with large gold hoop rings.\u00a0 And that\u2019s all I know!<\/p>\n

Dante and Vergil (Devil May Cry)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I never got into the Devil May Cry games either. Not silly enough for me I guess.\u00a0 I know who the characters are and what they look like as they\u2019ve been cameos in other Capcom games, but that\u2019s all I know about them.<\/p>\n

Strider<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s been in all the Namco X Capcom games, too, I believe. I\u2019ve played a few Strider games, but I\u2019m not very good at them.\u00a0 On the PSOne, they released Strider 2, which I have.\u00a0 It was a 3-D update to the original game, and it also came with a separate disc with the original arcade game on it. \u00a0There was recently another Strider update game that you could download on consoles, but I haven\u2019t played it yet.\u00a0 Some Strider villains show up in Project X-Zone 2 as well, like some robots and Tong Pooh.<\/p>\n

Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another Capcom series I\u2019ve never gotten into, but Jill Valentine is a cool character. I usually call her Jill Sandwich, though.\u00a0 Other characters and settings from the RE games show up in Project X-Zone 2, like Ada Wong and you fight lots of zombies as enemies.\u00a0 I wish that Frank West from Dead Rising would\u2019ve returned to this game as well, as he was in the first Project X-Zone.\u00a0 Even though I don\u2019t play the Dead Rising games, I had fun watching my brother Jeff play them, as they are pretty silly games if you think about it.<\/p>\n

Ryu, Ken, Ingrid, Chun-Li (Street Fighter)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Street Fighter characters have always been well represented in the Namco X Capcom\/Project X-Zone series, and here is no exception. Although for the life of me, I don\u2019t know why they decided to have Ingrid be in this game of all people.\u00a0 I\u2019d rather they put Cammy in there.\u00a0 SF baddies M. Bison and Juri show up as bosses for you to fight in Project X-Zone 2 as well.<\/p>\n

Demitri, Morrigan, Felicia (DarkStalkers)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another Capcom game series that has been well represented in all three Namco X Capcom games, but I\u2019ve never really gotten into the DarkStalkers series much, for some reason. Demitri is just your regular vampire character, and aside from her green hair, I\u2019ve never liked Morrigan much.\u00a0 She\u2019s just too creepy.\u00a0 Lots of other DarkStalkers characters show up as baddies for you to fight in Project X-Zone 2, including Q-Bee, Pyron, and that rock \u2018n roll zombie guy that I can\u2019t remember the name of.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really have a favorite DarkStalkers character, but if I had to pick one, I\u2019d say it was Hsien-Ko.\u00a0 And I\u2019m disappointed she\u2019s not in this game as she was in the past two Project X-Zone titles.<\/p>\n

Mega Man X and Zero<\/strong><\/p>\n

All right! Now we\u2019re to the characters I know a lot about.\u00a0 While I prefer the original Mega Man, I guess they tried to go with more \u2018serious\u2019 characters for this game.\u00a0 Mega Man X and Zero were also in Project X-Zone.\u00a0 They have a lot of attacks from their games.\u00a0 X uses his charged buster shots and Zero uses his sword, of course.\u00a0 But X also uses weapons he could acquire from bosses in his games, like Volt Catfish\u2019s Triad Thunder and Frost Walrus\u2019 Frost Wall.\u00a0 Mega Man enemies show up, too, like those hard hat guys and the robots piloting mechs from the X series.\u00a0 Bosses include Vile and Sigma.\u00a0 There is even a Mega Man X themed battle stage that is really cool, and it\u2019s based on one of my favorite areas from Mega Man X4: Cyber Peacock\u2019s stage.\u00a0 They even implement some of the same obstacles and it\u2019s pretty clever.\u00a0 I only wish that Tron Bonne and the Servebots from Mega Man Legends were in this game.\u00a0 They were in the previous two titles in the series and they\u2019re some of my favorite Capcom characters.\u00a0 I think Tron and the Servebots are some of the best characters Capcom has created.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Wright & Maya Fey (Ace Attorney series)<\/strong><\/p>\n

And now we get to the main reason why I got Project X-Zone 2. I\u2019m a huge fan of the Phoenix Wright games and they\u2019re my favorite series on the DS.\u00a0 So I had to see what they would be up to in this game!\u00a0 I don\u2019t think the creator of Phoenix Wright really wanted them to be in games like this or in fighting games, as he has said Phoenix isn\u2019t a fighter.\u00a0 I guess that\u2019s why his moves were so hard to pull off in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.\u00a0 It\u2019s funny how Phoenix and Maya get involved in Project X-Zone 2.\u00a0 You see, Heiachi from Tekken is being framed by Shadaloo for criminal activity, and so he hires Phoenix Wright to be his lawyer!\u00a0 I would love for that to be a case to solve in the main Phoenix Wright games!\u00a0 They clearly state that Phoenix and Maya aren\u2019t fighters in the game, so Morrigan charges Maya\u2019s spirit necklace with energy so they can fight.\u00a0 They have pretty silly attacks, though.\u00a0 Phoenix yells out \u201cObjection!\u201d although they didn\u2019t bother to translate any of it.\u00a0 He also uses Psy-Locks on enemies and breaks them.\u00a0 Maya summons the Steel Samurai to fight.\u00a0 Those past couple of sentences probably don\u2019t make any sense if you\u2019ve never played the Phoenix Wright games.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t come across any other Ace Attorney references in Project X-Zone 2.\u00a0 I wish Capcom would release more of the main games in the series here in the US!<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all for now! I hope you enjoyed this blog series about the characters in Project X-Zone 2.\u00a0 If you have any questions or comments about anything in the game, please let me know in the comments section!\u00a0 Later!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
