Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

More interesting? Yes.
Better? Debatable.
More likely? No.

The other day, I realized someone that's very likely, but I don't know if it's ever been brought up.

So who is this? This is KOS-MOS from the Xenosaga series. The Xenosaga series was made by Monolith Soft prior to being bought by Nintendo and the property belongs to Namco. That being said, I think she's a likely character a good number of reasons.

KOS-MOS has made numerous appearances in different games include Endless Frontier, Project X Zone, Namco X Capcom, and as a costume in Soul Calibur 3. Obviously, Namco considers her a rather important character to put her in all these different games, especially over Pac-Man. Xenosaga is also a series that's very special to Monolith Soft and it was part of the reason why Xenoblade got its name. With Namco working on Smash 4, Monlith could see this as an opportunity to use KOS-MOS once again alongside one of their other characters like Shulk.

I also think she'd be a much better pick than Pac-Man. KOS-MOS has a wide variety of weapons such as blades, beams, and machine guns to use so she is very flexible with her potential playstyle. Meanwhile, Pac-Man is just a bland character that doesn't seem like he'd have anything that none of the current cast has. Therefore, I think KOS-MOS is not only more likely of a Namco rep, but a much better rep all around for Namco.

Huh. I never thought of it that way.

I wholeheartedly agree! You could even bring up the point that she provides easy sex appeal without going too far.

KOS-MOS for smash!

Lol I support Pac-Man.

But of course you probably won't listen.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Bah, what would you know.

Keep blabbing on what you think is believable, but one thing for sure is that KOS-MOS is going to happen. It's inevitable. But, oh wait, I forgot people hate discussing interesting things and would rather talk about a bunch of lousy choices that will lead to no where. Your worse then those dudebro gaymurs and you should feel bad.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Why would Sakurai choose a boring and bland character when he could easily choose a more intersting, and popular character?

 

[Deleted member]

Wait a minute guys.

I just remembered something; she should be first party shouldn't she?

Ok, she's totally in.

 

[Big-Cat]

Lol I support Pac-Man.

But of course you probably won't listen.

But why support such a bland choice over someone like KOS-MOS? Pac-Man's been old news for years. Not even that new cartoon of his has made him relevant, especially considering he's such a historical character. At least she can contribute more to the gameplay with all those weapons of hers.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Pac-Man>any other Namco rep

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Yeah. Nintendo owns Monolith now, so she should be owned by Nintendo now.

That's actually the reason why Project X Zone came to the 3DS instead of the Playstation brand like its predecessor Namco X Capcom. Namco wanted to work with Nintendo to work with one of their former icons. Common sense really.

 

[Autumn ♫]

I am having the hardest time telling if we are being sarcastic or not. I probably need to get some sleep so I can tell.

 

[Deleted member]

Not only that, but it's why Monolith was involved with that game; Namco couldn't have KOS-MOS without them!

 

[Swamp Sensei]

We should really make a support thread for KOS-MOS.

Is there one?

 

[Autumn ♫]

We should really make a support thread for KOS-MOS.

Is there one?

I just checked. There isn't one.

 

[FlareHabanero]

This is serious ****! We want KOS-MOS, especially if we also get Shulk too! Come on now, it's like you wouldn't want that sort of thing to happen. The heroine of the Xenosaga trilogy, and the hero of Xenoblade Chronicles, together in the same game hauling major ass.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I just checked. There isn't one.

No support thread?

We should get Manly to make one. He's crazy about her. Probably could make a great one.

 

[Espio264]

Do her chances stand up to Shulk's chances? More over, would we ever get her without him?

 

[Deleted member]

She's got two big reasons why she'd be more believable than Shulk.

 

[FlareHabanero]

She's got two big reasons why she'd be more believable than Shulk.

 

[Big-Cat]

She's got two big reasons why she'd be more believable than Shulk.

And we're not talking about her boobs either.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I wonder...

Do you think we could get multiple Xenosaga characters?

 

[Espio264]

She's got two big reasons why she'd be more believable than Shulk.

Like unique gameplay and importance to Nintendo, or you mean the same two big reasons that ZS throws around?

 

[3Bismyname]

 

[Espio264]

Great design, nice hair, big guns and huge... tracks of land. I'm down. Though I think I'd prefer her and Shulk to just her.

 

[Big-Cat]

I wonder...

I think T-elos is out of the question as her outfit is far too revealing for Smash. Shion's the only other good choice as she's main protagonist for the trilogy. That being said, KOS-MOS is the poster girl so that makes her not as likely.

Hmmm, never thought of it like that, it would be great to see her in

 

[3Bismyname]

nah only other Namco characters I would want after Pac-Man is Klonoa or Valkarie. never been a huge fan of Xenosaga

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Well, that doesn't change that she's a good and likely candidate.

 

[SchAlternate]

I've never played any game in the Xenosaga series (unless Xenoblade counts), but I can see KOS-MOS as a viable candidate.

 

[3Bismyname]

@Swamasaur

good: maybe
likely: I don't think so.
what Kuma is exemplifying are true but also apply to a great number of other characters. for example the Soul Calibur 3 costume thing, many other Namco characters make cameos in that particular series via costumes like Valkyrie, Kite and Black Rose and of course costumes for many Tekken characters. in Endless Frontier, Xiamou and Reiji from Namco X Capcom are playable as well and that's more because Monolith Soft was responsible for Endless Frontier in addition to Xenosaga and Namco X Capcom game. and I wouldn't consider being in Namco X Capcom or Project X Zone that special as those are crossover games among many other series as well. Xenosaga didn't receive any special treatment of any sort in those. now is Xenosaga important to Monlith? of course, like any developers they most likely do have a fondness for that series. but I don't see that being a deciding factor for Sakurai and his team to outprioritize her over other characters. im not saying she's impossible but I don't see her as likely.

 

[Jaedrik]

Pac-Man>any other Namco rep

YOSHIMITSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Please, he's the most interesting and has made appearances across many fighting game titles that have Namco in their name.
I WANT TO SEE HIM STAB HIMSELF AND HAVE THE SWORD GO THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL.
AND DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE A SILLY LOOKING SAMURAI SITTING ON HIS SWORD AS HE USES IT AS A POGO STICK.

EDIT: FOXTROTTING SWORD HELICOPTER

[Swamp Sensei]

Care to explain why you think that?

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Care to explain why you think that?

A series that wasn't originally owned by Nintendo and isn't super well known. We'll be lucky if we get one.

 

[SuperBrawler]

This ones pretty obvious.

It's true.

My name is Buzz Killington and you will address me as such

 

[?????????????]

Hmm...

I'm not sure how serious/not serious anyone is about KOS-MOS, but...

I didn't realize that Xenosaga Episodes I & II were released on the Nintendo DS...well, sort of. Maybe it isn't horribly farfetched.

 

[Michael Blaine]

How do you guys feel about Captain N as a valid candidate to consider? (Line of Mr.G&W (a system), and ROB (a toy)... Captain N (a show))?

One would be quick to asume he's "4th party" but check this out.



So the two highlights are... He was created by a Nintendo staff member (meaning he's Nintendo's creation), and Nintendo itself decided to air the show.

That makes him technically a Nintendo character in his own right.


I've been really tempted of making a thread for him.
And I think I will, at least for fun. :D

Make the thread. I would run naked howling through the mall if he got in.

 

[shinhed-echi]

Make the thread. I would run naked howling through the mall if he got in.

I just did. :D

It's a bit empty right now, as Captain N stuff is kinda hard to come by, but any help will be appreciated.
