After ****talking fans of children's media I now would like to shill children's media, turn the captions on for English subs

God Blazar looks good, really wish there were more shows with kick ass monster suits

You just reminded me I still need to check the Ultraman Netflix show.

I remember how excited you used to be about It back when It got announced.

According to my friend who already watched the film it's really stupid and not worth supporting WBD over

But Jondolio, Tom Cruise from hit movie The Mummy said It is the best superhero movie ever even though he hasn't acted, directed or written any of them (as far as I know).

That means It is high cinema.

What if SEGA announces it during their Sonic Central, with the Blue Rat being the first character reveal?

This would be pretty hype. Sonic is a missed opportunity in these games. They are pretty over the top as is, too the point where the other characters meeting a talking hedgehog probably wouldnt be that weird lol

This might be the worst CGI I've seen in my life.

My favorite part of The Flash movie is when Ezra Miller says, "It's Flashin' time!" and flashes all over the screen

Yes this joke was done to death but it's clever because flashing is an actual thing

Honestly, when It comes to movies coming out this summer I am really excited for Indiana Jones 5, as mixed as the critics are from Cannes.

Indiana Jones means a lot to me: the two LEGO games, the movies, the point & click adventures and even some of the merch were a Big part of my childhood, so It truly does mean a lot that this may be the last movie of the character ever. I'll be seated for the movie without a doubt.

Spoiler: Oh, and speaking of which...

This is something I didn't know when to say as I didn't want to come out as an attention seeker, but this year I found I was non-binary and as such I changed my IRL name. Won't say the complete one, but I changed my first name to Jone as It sounds neutral enough and because of my memories of Indiana Jones.

Just thought ya'll should know so you refer to me as they/them.

Eh, I know I said this before but I think it's weird to have all those human-looking members in such an extensive roster that features a good amount of M-rated game characters only to slap Sonic at the end.

If "animation is cinema" then what does that mean for televised cartoons?

Cuz you can't tell me that Amphibia is not "cinema", that show pops off

My main gripe with Sonic in PxZ is just that it feels like most people only suggest it cause they can't handle the idea of SEGA stuff they're not familiar with getting the spotlight. Like if it actually happened I don't think I'd hate it that much as long as the rest of the roster was still cool, but I definitely don't like the mindset people seem to have which is "I don't like that they added (X SEGA thing that's outside of my bubble), when's Sanic"

I like PxZ cause it represents classic SEGA in the modern era in a really cool way. Seeing stuff like Zombie Revenge or Dynamite Deka or Fighting Vipers or PS2-era Shinobi show up in a new crossover RPG is awesome

For the new character in Sonic Superstars, its name is "Trip"

Trip: that's the name of the new character expected to appear alongside Doctor Eggman and Fang the Sniper in #SonicSuperstars, creative officer Takashi Iizuka confirmed in a new interview with @IGN. #SonicNews pic.twitter.com/4WzcT85OrM

Let me tell you Speed Weed, seeing Segata Sanshiro actually dating Sakura Shinguyi from Sakura Wars while Phoenix Wright, Heihachi and MegaMan X are watching in an actual videogame and not a commercial was one of the highlights of my gaming life.

He doesn't know about made-for-TV movies.

Oh yes, that's the good stuff.

Give me some of those Ben 10 live action made for TV movies.

Pretty much the same.

Plus, Capcom and Namco also don't have similar cartoony characters like PAC-MAN yet people rarely complain about them - though Klonoa gets mentioned a little due to Namco x Capcom.

Okay but do you go to the cinema to watch these? Checkmate atheist

Yeah, and all that stuff is why I loathe PxZ rosters that fill the SEGA side up with just the basic scrimblo/All-Stars Racing/Genesis collection stuff that westerners would know, because at best it completely misses the point of those games and the context in which they were made, and at worst feels like yet another case of people acting like the basic anglocentric view of SEGA's properties is the definitive one. These people could not come up with a pick half as inspired as someone like Rikiya Busujima.

My favorite was when he said “it’s flashing time” and proceeded to kidnap a mother and her children.

So what your saying is…
Throw shadow with assault rifles in instead!

Yeah, I appreciate Project X Zone for getting me into the obscure side of the SEGA world and helping me expand my videogame interests back in the day. I do hope that a third game keeps It that way and adds more obscure characters.

And you know what? Forget Sonic, let's add Wild Woody and that creature from the Toy world of IllBleed in the third game, that would be quite creative and hilarious.

I will say Wild Woody is kind of the perfect example of those sorts of really inane scrimblo-y picks I don't like when rosters add. I like joking around about it cause it is an extremely funny game, but it's not a good or important one by any means

Actually, they should add Professor Pickle.

Yeah, I was joking too with Wild Woody, lol. Wanted to say the most random thing out of my head.

For real doh, IllBleed content in Project X Zone 3 would be awesome. I could see any of the movie locations from the Game as fight zones and they could make a fun character to play as out of anyone in the game.

 

[Z25]

But I do think you could make more cartoonish characters work.

If Phoenix Wright can get super powers in the game and fight using a children’s tv show, like Sonic and friends aren’t that out there.

Even other Sega and Nintendo franchises could be a lot of fun.

Also it’s insane Pac-Man is not in those games. He’s the mascot of Namco

The only miss PxZ made is having Natsu be the Soulcalibur character in PxZ2.
No one likes her or SC5 lmao

 

[osby]

Anyway, I don't have much interest in Prince of Persia but the new game looks pretty good - I liked how there are some references to ancient Iran this time.

It's depressing how good it looks because Ubisoft still haven't cleared house so I'm not buying it.

I don't know anything about Soul Calibur but I liked her a lot in PXZ2. Maybe she's one of those characters that work better in spin-offs like Corrin.

Am I part of the problem if i want a Puyo Puyo character?

 

[Speed Weed]

Am I part of the problem if i want a Puyo Puyo character?

I mean Puyo is one of SEGA's biggest properties ever, also I don't wanna make people come up to me and question themselves like "am i one of the bad ones?", like that's not the point

 

[Schnee117]

I don't know anything about Soul Calibur but I liked her a lot in PXZ2. Maybe she's one of those characters that work better in spin-offs like Corrin.

Probably, it's just that SC5 is reviled and no one's going "I wish they brought back character who replaced a legacy character because ageism and sexism"
Like people would be fine with ZWEI and Viola because they're completely new, original* characters.

But Natsu was just a Taki replacement because they felt Taki would be too old and thus "not sexy enough" at 46 years old and this is still a trend in Namco fighting games. Old men are fine but god forbid a middle aged woman fight without some bull**** excuse that makes her still look young

*Viola may or may not be Amy with a completely different moveset

Sadly it's more like Kamen Rider than Ultraman and as a fan of both I want Ultraman to be about a giant who's a big ass Jesus metaphor. Netflix is making an animated movie that's more traditional though so that could be cool as hell

Your right , they should have put the best soul caliber character in:

Too bad he hasn't gotten a new game on console since 2013...
