Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Hurricane Rush]

I don't ever post on here but I just wanted to point out what Geoff Keighley said. When he's asked "Will Waluigi be there?" it's in response to Geoff talking about all the other guests like Reggie or Phil Spencer, not as a character reveal. Skip to around 6:15 to hear him talk about guests. He mentions Waluigi at 6:40. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1gqGvgVwdOeJB?q=Geoff+Keighley

Later on he also mentions how leakers on 4chan "have no basis or truth to any of this stuff." And he mentions seeing a fake "Banjo-Redooie" leak as well.

Not that I think Waluigi is fighter 5, just something to keep in mind.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I think that was the prequel, Namco X Capcom. Klonoa was in that one too

I hate how Klonoa and Guntz were cut from the sequels, I love those guys.

I do wanna say though that for anyone who wants to play a Project X Zone game, play the second. It basically corrects some of the issues peeps had with the first game, like a better player/enemy turn flow, faster gameplay, more well-known roster picks, cleaner presentation, etc. Funny enough, the first game isn't even a recommended playing experience to understand the second, since PXZ2 is - funny enough - a sequel plot-wise to Namco X Capcom.

Project X Zone 2 is honestly one if my favorite games of the decade, it was great. Some of my favorite quotes come from characters interacting in this game. Like like when Chrom and Lucina meet the party and Lucina looks at Morrigan and goes "people in other worlds have amazing garbs!" And Chrom goes "...I hope this adventure doesn't end up being a bad influence on her..."

any notable KOS-MOS and Fiora interactions with the others? I haven't touched the game in a while so I forgot

Shame, Banjo Redooie would have been a top-quality pun.

 

[Ben Holt]

No matter who Fighter 5 is, it seems we're in for a surprise.
Sabi or Vergeben's source better start talking. It's too far in to be getting vague hints.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

any notable KOS-MOS and Fiora interactions with the others? I haven't touched the game in a while so I forgot

I remember Phoenix responding to Fiora like: "A blade that can see into the future? My life would be easier if I had that..." or something along those lines

 

[Kokiden]

Sabi or Vergeben's source better start talking. It's too far in to be getting vague hints.

Maybe those 2 genuinely don't know who it is this time around, and are having too much fun circle jerking the internet to get their rocks off, for them to stop this charade.

 

[SNEKeater]

If you ask me I prefer going blind to the Game Awards, assuming FP5 will be there. I mean, we're so close that I don't see the point in leaking the character a few hours before. I'd rather have the surprise, no matter who is FP5.

 

[cothero]

Pretty much what I’m doing with Verge and Sabi right now.

View attachment 251684

Yup. They're trying SO HARD. It's getting awkward for them.

This. I was blown away with Joker and I'd love to be blown away again.

 

[Barrubo]

Right now Verge and Sabi are trying too hard that they are now embarrassing themselves.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well we'll have the State of Play and Nindies to occupy us tomorrow.
Wonder what insanity will descend tonight.

 

[SneakyLink]

Well we'll have the State of Play and Nindies to occupy us tomorrow.
Wonder what insanity will descend tonight.

I predict both Verge and Sabi will go all in on a single character.

Or NOE accidentally leaks the character's copyright again.

 

[Barrubo]

Well I am going to bed now. Hope nothing big happens without me...
Oh who am I kidding. It might.

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

So we're all gonna look like Bearded Jack by the time post-pass content starts rolling out?

With all the bull with leaks I'm going to start looking like this if it keeps up post pass.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I'll be paying attention to the forums for another hour. Tomorrow to Friday are sure to be interesting for me. State of Play, Nindies, favorite food spot reopening, the election of "my" country and a few things in that category. Most importantly TGAs!

 

[Lighteni]

Vergeben’s going to announce that in order to find out who character 5 is, he’ll personally fist-fight Sakurai in a 5-round boxing match.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Lets bring a positive spin

Look who’s gonna be at game awards

There was a problem fetching the tweet

And this in way pretty much locks the last fighter pass reveal at vga

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Or NOE accidentally leaks the character's copyright again.

I'm legitimately surprised this hasn't happened yet

 

[Michael the Spikester]

We're only 72 hours away from the VGA!

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

We're only 72 hours away from the VGA!

We can do this people

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

Just 3 days until we either find out who the FP5 will be or I get a treat in watching the Smash World will burn if there is no announcement. As Taryon darrington famously said....

 

[Michael the Spikester]

What the Smash Boards will be like if there's no FP5 at the VGA.

Ah man, ****'s going to get real crazy if the next Smash trailer has Shulk in some capacity.

I'm hyped for Resident Evil 3 Remake.

inb4 the game doesn't appear tomorrow and I cry

 

[Wunderwaft]

I'm pretty sure this place will explode regardless if we get a reveal or not 3 days from now.

I imagine it'll be more like this:

Either way, the community will be in shock for at least 3 months.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

plot twist: Shulk being in that trailer heralds not KOS-MOS but Elma... or even Fiora

Geoff full leaker mode activated:

Next leak, FP5.

 

[ES. Dinah]

I'm at least 95% expecting a smash reveal at TGA because Geoff mentioned Waluigi wont be there lol

 

[Zem-raj]

Random question: aside from the three Nintendo guests from 2 returning, and the obvious Shulk, which other Nintendo characters would you like to see in a hypothetical Project X Zone 3?

Samus and Ridley.

Expect for the Nintendo Direct treatment with a Game Awards thread to be opened and certain threads to be closed during the event.

EDIT, I should say potentially as it's not been confirmed we're getting Smash info.

OH **** THE MAD LAD GEOFF HAS ALREADY FIRED THE FIRST SHOT.

How are the rest of the leakers going to cope with getting one-upped by the Doritos Pope himself?

I'm more worried about your sanity if there's nothing at the Game Awards regarding FP5.

 

[Seanapotamus]

I'm thinking about going into the show blind on Thursday. So I'll be taking a break from here until after the Game Awards, in case the next character gets 100% leaked before the show.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Nah you should be more concerned about everyone's sanity here on the forums myself included.

 

[SneakyLink]

Expect for the Nintendo Direct treatment with a Game Awards thread to be opened and certain threads to be closed during the event.

Out of curiosity, which threads would be affected? I'm guessing here and the Social Thread, maybe the Rate The Chances thread (although they got sniped by Joker).

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Samus and Ridley.

I forgot baddies are a thing in PXZ too, 2 had Metal Face.

My choices for Nintendo villains in a hypothetical PXZ3 are:

• Hades
• Black Shadow
• Ridley
• Luxaar
• Spoiler: FE3H spoilers

  Edelgard as the Flame Emperor

Plot Twist: It's unrelated to anything Xeno, and Jonesy drops in instead.

Damn, Sabi needs to step their game up. Geoff is using all this fancy language and nice looking art while all we get “yeah this game exists”
