Project X Returns!

[Arkady]

I want to see Mr Sinister, Scarlet Witch, Toad, the Blob and Callisto on the project!!!

awesome, some of my favorite characters, when can you start creating them???

sorry, sorry, my condescending nature, has been running wild lately


with prof x, he could have a onslaught hyper or change into him or something to give him the edge over other characters, the fact that some characters fly and other don't already makes it unfair, and having prof x in his chair (whilst not being able to jump, or crouch) makes a different approach to the characters , just make him more powerful (as he is anyways)

[Tazzer]

I don't know, I kinda agree on the whole not liking Prof. X as a playable character. Reason being just thinking about the get hits, knock down, jump/super jump sprites for him just doesn't seem right at all IMO. If it gets mentioned that he can't jump at all in-game then that kinda puts him at a sever disadvantage as well, considering crouching is probably out as well. I guess we'll see how that plays out though.

Aren't they giving him the hover-chair version of his chair?  I'm only asking because, if that were the case, then couldn't he be handled similar to how Green Goblin is on his glider for his aerial stuff?  I don't think his original hover-chair could function like that...but who knows?  Perhaps Forge upgraded it for him (you know..if it has to be explained and all)?

Or maybe just have his astral form handle all jumping attacks (Kind of similar to Chizuru's illusion attacks)?   Just some ideas.   

But I do agree that if it can't be figured out in a way that works... perhaps it's best not to include him as playable.

I second the nomination for Mr. Sinister and Blob!  Though Mr. Sinister is not reputed for directly engaging in combat, his place in the stories of the X-men place him as a greater importance than a mere background character.  Also, given the mystery that constantly surrounds him, I feel like there's more room for creativity in hyper attacks and methods of assault.

I believe Blob might be a possibility since someone dropped by Scruffy months back with a lot of work on him done, so who knows. I don't know of anyone working on Mr. Sinister though, so feel free to give it a shot. As it's not about voting or what the members/fans wanna see, it's about who will put in the work on what character. If someone sprites him and makes him look great, I'm sure finding a coder would be no problem and he'd probably make it in the project. 'Til then though, there's no real point in anyone making wish lists.

Not sure how he's being worked on at all but him floating around doesn't sound too great either. I just can't think of him working in any real way aside from being some spammy projectile type character. So, I am interested in seeing how he ends up being made.

Wasn't he playable in X-Men Mutant Academy 2 in his wheelchair?

[C.R.O.M. - ManoloStyle]

Sorry for the long post, but I think these could be great ideas.  

One of Professor X's powers is Astral Projection.

IMO...They should have him attack with his aura/ astral form, kind like ZVitor's Emma Frost.

In the X-Men animated series of the 90's he woops the X-Men's butts when he gets mind probed by Lilandra and the Dark Side of his brain is released. This happens in The Phoenix Saga Part 2 episode called The Dark Shroud. See video below. I think this can help with ideas on attack moves.

I also think that there is another episode where he goes to the Astral Plane and fights the Shadow King in his Astral battle armor suit. The episode gives testament to the Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 #117 comic where he meets the Shadow King who has possessed Amahl Farouk. This is also the story where Professor X finds Ororo (Storm) in Cairo as a child pick pocketing thief. See pics below.

The battle armor he uses to fight Shadow King could be used as a great Hyper where the background changes, much like ZVitor's Thanoseid and Professor X takes you to the Astral Plane for a can of woop@ss.

He also has training with the X-Men mentally in some sort of mental plane, besides their physical training in the Danger Room.

I think he could be a real bad@ss if you can implement some of these...  




Astral Projection:

I still think he would be a waste of time, cause there is a limit for his abilities and there is hundreds of other x-men related characters that (not just me) would consider way more exciting to see in a FIGHTING game who could throw a good punch and would be easier to create.

[HyperVoiceActing]

Good example: Toad.

In fact ... *gets to work on an idle*

[warecus]

why no love for the prof, I'm sure project x has thought about all these things you said before and made it enjoyable to play with him.  Twin Image has been around a while and all the stuff yall mentioned he has already considered.  I for one am looking forward to prof and the rest of the merry mutants... peace

[Slayer]

I think It's kind of rude to say that someone is wasting his time working on the character he chose to create.

Just in case someone forgot the Project X Teaser trailer. Prof. Xavier appears in 2:28

[Megabyte]

In case some of you have forgotten, Prof. X has basically been revamped in the last year or 2...mostly a character restart so to speak as he was kinda rebuilt after he got him psyche shattered as a result of being shot in the head by Bishop in Messiah Complex (which was an accident...kinda ' >.>) As Exodus put his mind back together he has since recovered his ability to walk...again...and went on a mission to figure a lot about himself that was lost (a pseudo amnesia if you will) and in doing so we see him do a lot of stuff that he couldn't/wouldn't before (and a lot of stuff we didn't know he did in the past ) My point is that make Professor X doesn't HAVE to be limited as he can actually walk now and though he DOESN'T typically fight in the comics even now, his mental powers are being used differently now so maybe checking out what they are doing with him currently can lead to some more interesting gameplay with him...?

[RG op]

is there in internet some pictures about the Essex archangel???

I had thought about that too.  I didn't say anything though, because I didn't know what time period in the X-Men continuity this game was meant to be in.   I figured that the PX team members were already aware of this information and that there was a specific reason they had him wheelchair bound.

However, if there is no such reason... then I don't see why they couldn't include him as a walking/ducking/jumping character.  Because your idea would work very well.

[Twinimage]

Professor Xavier's attacks have already been well implemented, in his wheelchair, in a way that works. So just wait till you see my preview trailer of him. Any special or hyper ideas are definitely welcome though.

EDIT: And NO, he will not be a beam projectile spamming character. Way too many characters use beam attacks for lack of creativity and move ideas. He will have one projectile, but only one and that's it. I'm even considering changing it to something else similar.

Any ideas of a good base for a suit of armor? Preferably one that isn't too big or muscular.

haha cool, the astral proyection battle of xavier and emma looks so good xd
pd: its true that there will be an angel in this game?, maybe the apocalypse one? (i think it was an eternal lie anyway xd)

[ryo123]

Hey Zvitor, I really like your work and I think its fantastic  but I just think your hyper portrait for Cyclops is a bit "flat" so instead of just complaining about it I decided to make this.



Feel free to do what ever you want with this

[Acey]

Way too many characters use beam attacks for lack of creativity and move ideas...

Wait, I thought we all agreed to give Nightcrawler a few lazer beam attacks?

Yeah dude, I mean Wolverine totally had that lazer claw attack in the X-men Beat'em UP right?

[ZVitor]

any ideia/concept to one wolverine stage?

[HyperVoiceActing]

any ideia/concept to one wolverine stage?

I had some

1.) A bar
2.) A torn up Weapon X lab
3.) a forest (like in the X-Men movies)

[.Batzarro.]

Or a bar within the Weapon X lab but it's all torn up and a wall is missing, so you can see there's a big forest outside.

A bar...in the weapon x lab?    GREAT!!!! are they accepting applications cause that sounds like the best job in da world to work at. 

[ZVitor]

batzarro stage ftw!

[Arkady]

or deadpool tending the bar?
