I paid 40 bucks for this shit: Project Cross Zone
It's a crossover game, featuring characters from Capcom/Sega/Namco Bandai. No, there is no pac-man or sonic, the fuck.
I assure you it's a game that makes perfect sense if you never played like the 5 games that precede it. Not. At. All.
...Just start the game.
Shadows lurk and shit, darkness is dark, blah blah blah, multiple dimensions.
One family has been protecting everyone in secret, and stuff. Now they're protecting a stone, I guess.
I suppose I'll be saying goodbye to this old mansion for a while.
But I gotta say...What's taking him so long...?
Guy appears from the bottom.
Ugh! You are so late! You have to be laziest private tutor in the world! I've already given up on you actually teaching me anything useful. But the least you could do at a time like this is help me out a little, Kogoro!
Thankfully they always show the names when there's talking, because fuck if I'm going to keep track of it.
These are original characters, FYI. They didn't exist in prior games.
Hey, m'lady, don't get so worked up. It'll make your skin break out again.
I just had a bit of an issue I needed to clear up at the office.
Oh, reeeally? Look, I know you never actually get any detective work done.
He's a tutor, but also a detective. He is shitty at one of these jobs.
Why don't you drop the act and concentrate on trying to teach me something, huh?
Ah, you always were one of my touchier pupils?
That particular issue, though...I think I know what it is about.
What issue? What are you...
You mean the stone that was taken from my mansion?
You mean the same stone that was in the opening narration? That stone is gone already???
Shh! Later, m'lady! Someone's coming!
Aliens! Or plant shamans...? I'm not sure.
Hoh hoh hoh! By the name of our master!
Ahhh! What're these monsters?!
Looks like our culprits haven't given up robbing you blind just yet.
Ugh! We gotta catch 'em and find out where they took the stone!
Kogoro! Let's get 'em!
As you wish, m'lady.
Your what
Hee hee! Let's see if it's anything worthy of my praise for a change.
Hopefully, a little roughing up is all this is going to take.
But somehow I get the feeling this is just the beginning of things.
yay
Murder everyone, got it
Right. Let's get started. Do you have any weapons on you, m'lady?
Sure do! I thought something like this might happen.
I wonder about the wisdom of giving guns to high school girls, though.
The hell do they live, anime Texas?
Well, everyone in the Koryuji clan has them. We're a family of fighting monks!
The only monk I know that owns guns is Chow Yun-Fat and you don't look related
Besides, what kind of detective carries a sword around like that?
A smart one, that's who. It's just the thing for dealing with evil thugs.
Plus, my sword skill qualifies me to teach you martial arts, no?
Yeah, but I wish we'd move on to ninjutsu sometime.
There are...so many things to discuss
You're still only in high schoo, m'lady. A few more years, then we'll talk.
Well, promise to teach me real ninjutsu, okay? Not any of your usual goofy stuff.
We'll see.
I showed that stuff off to the other girls in school, and they laughed at me!
Ah yes, your friends on the cheerleading squad? They are not ready yet.
What does that mean
Of course! I hate composition class, but I'm killer at fighting!
FINALLY. MURDER
Blue square is your range of movement. Yellow is your range of attacks.
Goal of battle is to juggle the enemy without letting it touch the ground. Attacks are based on direction, each attack does a certain amount of combo percentage and 100 lets you do a super.
But this is a prologue so today is just going to be mashing buttons
Mii/Tenzai Theme
Repeat for the two other enemies, and forever with the game itself.
They already have the stone. There's nothing left for them to take.
They have to be here for a reason. We better take a look around.
Oooh, trying to play the master detective again, aren't you?
That's because I AM a detective, m'lady.
You're also a tutor for teaching fake ninjitsu to multiple underage students and carries a sword
Hmm...it wasn't the Portalstone they were after....
You're the detective, or not. I don't know what you are anymore.
