Famitsu confirms playable Segata Sanshiro in Project X Zone 2

This game is quickly turning into one of my most anticipated in 2016.

I know a lot of people hated the first one but I had an absolute blast. When your commute to work is over an hour long that gave me plenty of time to crank out a stage so I blew through 2 a day. Game was completed in three weeks worth of playing.

The Segata screenshots have Segata solo then meeting the Tales of Vesperia guys, which must be the introduction scene - I was kinda expecting him to have to be rescued from zombies by Resident Evil's Jill and Chris, then complaining about their Playstation debut.

Oh well, there's still ample opportunity for him to act hostile toward the Tekken guys for their early PS exclusive releases, and disbanding a Space Channel 5 villain's dance-based mind control by grappling every last dancer to the floor:

"Up-Down-Left-Right Chu-Chu"
"SE-GA-SA-TURN SHI-RO!!"

Interesting to see BB Hood summoning robots like Sylphie and Devilotte did in past games - an almost certain recruitable.

Would be nice to see Shiva from SoR2 be a boss too, but maybe next game.
 
Team RoF returns!!....though Leanne & Vashyron switched roles, interestingly. Darn, no more silly unique conversations for having Vashyron pair up with different teams.

Kind of nice to see Captain Commando & June, but a shame they're solo units. We need more team units confirmed.

So think we'll get the recruitable boss/enemy characters? B.B. Hood seems like a good candidate.

Edit: Haha, come on, Phoenix, you already fought Nemesis in Ultimate MvC3, why are you all scared now?
 
I'm a little miffed that Pai is now a support character, but having a 4th VF rep is still pretty great. Any indication that the Fighting Vipers characters are still in, or are they likely to get the axe?
 
Wow...3 characters from Vesperia...lol.

Not that Im complaining, but does Xillia, Graces, or Zestiria not exist or something?
 
Captain Commando teamed with X and Zero...

It's the Marvel VS Capcom team of my dreams.

Also, Bad Touch Heihachi face is tempting me to change my avie.

Click to expand...

I'm not expecting more reveals by, now, since at this point they've revealed screenshots for the animated opening - but keep an eye on the official site, last I checked, a special section there mentions posters for preordering or something, and at least one of them was hiding a character.


I remember the Zephyr and Leanbe team worked really well for me in PXZ1, between their ranga and easy combos - I wonder if that's why they changed it.
Then again, in RoF's story doesn't she join the others after Zephyr saves her?
 
Scans show part of the Solo Attack Segata uses involves summoning hundreds of Segata Sanshiros to run over the enemy.
 
We expecting more characters from this? I'm finding the overall count to be similar to PXZ1 where I thought this game would have more characters at least...
 
Segata Sanshiro is one of the most unexpected choices I've ever seen. I just hope some more pair units get shown/announced before release day as well. Zephyr and Vashyron as a pair unit is also excellent.
