SmashBoards creates - Project X Zone 3: Fractured Bloodlines (Current Job: Chapter 1)

[Hadokeyblade]

I'd put Dark pit in the spot of one of the other Nintendo characters.

 

[airConditioner]

feelin like cvs with all of these fatal fury and kof characters

 

[Deleted member]

If have spread the love with snk a bit more. Our lineup is very heavy on KOF/Fatal Fury. I'd probably also cut down on tekken and sf a bit.

Submit a Prompt​

I’m out of ideas at the moment; for reference, here’s the timeline.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

I think we got all we pretty much need for the base game besides movesets which people can just submit anytime they want so if we’re doing DLC I say we move to that sooner than later. Maybe a final job for enemies from series that don’t have any but that’s about it.

I think our roster, in general, could have used some more lesser known series in it andthey should have been prioritized over multiple reps for series we already have but whatever we can correct that if we do DLC

Job #104: How should we handle DLC?​

We've got the base game pretty much taken care of, so now let's move on to DLC. What should the structure be like? Here was my idea, at least:

• 10 Pairs and 10 Solos, for a total of 100 Units and 150 characters for each unit
• 4 Cross-Company Pairs for companies that haven't been combined yet
  • Namco x SNK
  • Capcom x Nintendo
  • SEGA x SNK
  • Nintendo x SNK

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

I think that’s a good amount of new characters but I think the cross units shouldn’t necessarily be from those four companies, if no one really has ideas for those specific pair ups it might just be a bit awkward to force it like that.

For DLC I say we add a short second quest using all of the characters and about 15-20 paralogues centering around two series coming together to solve some conflict. They can be inspired by the ideas for interactions we came up with earlier. They would also be a mix between lighter things that aren’t of that importance and more serious things.

 

[Deleted member]

I'd say 10 feels good but I'd go
Two capcom, two sega, two Namco, two snk, one Nintendo, one cross pair.

For solos replace the crosd with an extra Nintendo unit

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

I feel like it might be nice to lift the “only humanoid characters” rule for DLC, could give us some more variety and interesting pair ups

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Simple small thing but change base game cutscenes a little so that the DLC characters have some small imput in the events of the story.
Pretty much just this, which is a thing i think more games should do with their DLC characters.

Agreed, if only to have Klonoa and/or Sonic

 

[Perkilator]

Alright, 10 Pairs and 10 Solos it is.

Job #105: Submit the DLC mixed pair​

In case you were wondering, here are the combinations remaining:

• Namco x SNK
• Capcom x Nintendo
• SEGA x SNK
• Nintendo x SNK

However, you only need to submit one pair. Anyways, here’s my idea.

View attachment 358180View attachment 358179

• Name: Princess Peach & Sir Arthur
• Game: Super Mario Bros. & Ghosts ‘n Goblins (1985)
• Reason: Mainly for the idea of a princess fighting alongside her knight in shining armor, which would also serve as a callback to Princess Kai’s appearance in Namco x Capcom, since Gil is a Solo Unit here.
• Music:
  • Ground Theme - Super Mario Bros. 2 (Peach)
  • Stage 1 - Ghosts ‘n Goblins (Arthur)

I’m taking a bit of a break from this thread for a while, so if anyone would like to run it in my stead, let me know in the DM’s.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I have no pair ideas for cross company anymore at this point.

 

[The Red Hunter]

Big Project X Zone fan here. I couldn't really find much discussion for the series, so I'm glad I found this thread!

• Capcom x Nintendo

Hm, what about a Monster Hunter Stories and Pokémon Character? I think Zelda and Nina from Breath of Fire would be an interesting duo too. They're both Blonde Princesses who always seem to come about when disaster strikes. But which incarnations would we use?

I feel there's a big lack of God Eater stuff. And Digimon.

I also noticed in the minor universes, there's no Mario for Nintendo.

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

Smashboards suddenly stopped giving notifications to me, so trying to coming back to the same I will submit this pair:

• Name: Princess Zelda & Nina
• First Appearence: The Legend of Zelda (1986) & Breath of Fire (1993)
  • Design: Hyrule Warriors (2014) & Breath of Fire II (1994)
• Reason: Just like Red Hunter mentioned they are both blonde princesses with multiple reincarnations that usually comes in moments of disaster. While I used the Hyrule Warriors and BoF II design for reference but I think they could be a merged version of different incarnations of them (similar to what Smash did with the proper Zelda).
• Music:
  • Hyrule Field 1st - Hyrule Warriors (Zelda)
  • Donden - Breath of Fire III (Nina)

 

[Perkilator]

Ignore this

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

I'm confused, why we runned two "last mixed pair" jobs before?

The first one was for the base game. This one’s for DLC.

Using Hyrule Warriors Zelda would be neat, it would mean that Tecmo Koei has a small bit of representation.

Actually, you know what? Is it okay with you guys if I leave this thread at the base roster and create a new one that focuses on one of the previous suggestions?

One thing I'd love to see is a kind of "Everyone is Here!" scenario with at least everyone who appeared in both PX1 and PX2 returning. I'd also like to see fresh faces like Pyra and Mythra more. Characters like Nero raised to prominence lately so it'd be a shame to not make use of that.

I also wanna use this idea for characters who haven't appeared since Namco x Capcom

Oh man, the arcade classics would be interesting to see again!
