"Possible Recap-- Bloody Roar" , posted Tue 25 Jun 12:51

Thanks to my lack of gaming funds I've fallen quite behind the times when it comes to the oh-so-cool games out there. I lack a Game Cube, Playstation2, X Box.... y'know.. anything younger than the original Playstation.

However... wandering through the local Best Buy I happened across the lated Bloody Roar game.

Well... if I wasn't shocked out of my skin. I have to admit that they did a splendid job there with their graphics. I fell in love with the game immediately. It's a pity I don't have the funds to buy it. <sob>

However... my question deals mostly with one character... Xion. Can anyone fill me in on some basic details (spoilers aren't shunned, I'll probably not see the game any time soon for myself). I'd just like the basic information about him.. where's he from and stuff like that. Playing it in the store doesn't let me in on his story or things. I figured the best, and fastest, place to get such information would definitely be this place. ^_~

And another thing... pictures. As a female gamer I MUST point out the complete and utter coolness of Xion. And I'm sure most males agree. ^_~ Afterall.. th'dude's near perfect!!

Thanks guys!! ^_~

Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Yeah! He hella rocks!!! I loved when he saved Trish and she's all "why did you save me?" and he's all "because... you remind me of... my mother!" or when he found out Neiloangelo was his brother! SHOCKING!!! It proves even the most badest of badasses have a heart... OH! Wait we're not talking about Dante but his rip-off in Bloody Roar!

End of Spoiler

(edit: there, happy WS?)

From what I understand about Xion (gathered mainly from the PS2 version, his role is lessened in the GC version by Chronos becoming the boss but I assume it's the same)... Xion was conducting experiments on the Shapeshifters to learn what makes them tick, I *think* he's not really a shapeshifter himself but on created through science/gene-splicing or had his own powers altered by such since he turns into a badass "robot buggy thing" called an "unborn", he has a sister (Uranus) who also transform into something insane do to some kind of splicing she turns into a "Chimera" (minotaur with a snake tail for all intents and purposes like Uyko in the first game)... his alternate costume has a silver coat instead of a Dante one... like Dante I'm sure when Chronos took his spot as a boss he said "I'm not even suppost to be here today!"

Nope Dante and BR3 came out at around the same time...

*smacks whitesword back* BAH! If you haven't played DMC yet you deserved the spoilers! And it wouldn't have worked for the 'humor' to make them hidden! aside from which she said Spoilers were okay...

Maybe for the PS2, but BR3 was on the arcades about 6 months before.

But we can't know about the date of the original designs...

I went and checked and WOW was I off... even if we go by PS2 versions ONLY Xion is 5 months older then Dante in terms of release...

I guess now is a good time to say I didn't call Xion a rip-off as a negative term, I think he's a pretty neat character and given both games had to have started design around the same time there's no real way either could be a true 'rip-off' of the other...

Xion is the typical white haired evil pretty boy with a nice coat. So he's far from a rip off, the looks are just a coincidence.

So what if Dante and Xion transform into evil demons? I transform into an evil dog too. Everyone does these days.

You're the "epilepsia pitbull" (not epileptic)...

Is this transmissible like lycanthropia ?

o_O Whoa.. creepy.

Well, I thank you for your information!! Means tons to me.

I'm a big fan of Xion.. and I love Dante. I'd probably be IN love with Dante if I got a chance to play that LOVELY little game he's from. Unfortunately I haven't had that honor. But I actually did want to get my hands on it... and badly. I know that I've seen some clips from it.. and I've heard his voice. But hey.. o_O That's QUITE enough for me. I'm definitely wanting to get my hands on that game. Besides.. I'm an UTTER sucker for white hair. Gods.. Xion and Dante are pretty much my ideals. ^_^; Kinda strange.. but who can resist a red coat and white hair. <drools and faints>

"So MyLady......." , posted Wed 26 Jun 23:03

So Lady Kisune, Dante and Xion must be your Taste in Boys???
So I must be at your taste!

No just kinding! I din't look like them in fact I'm closer to the beetle version than the human form of xion!

the only thing we share is that I'm tall with mid-long hair.....

Back serious now, I like Xion in BR, I think he's one of the powerfullest character in this game, the only thing is to find the right combo, I found on in the past, I was a little crazy, becauseI have beat my friend in one big single combo.....I din't find it again even if I'm allways searching for.

I dunno.. might be. I'm actually not too picky about my guys. When it comes to the dudes I like.. ^_~ It's mostly personality. (I catch bloody hells from my friends all the time. They just don't understand.. tsk tsk.) Anyway... Xion and Dante are technically my type.. but mostly because.. I, myself, wouldn't mind being that pretty. -_-; But alas.. when it comes to beauty.. I'm about as cute as a wad of gum someone's spit out. Lol. So I'd be too jealous of someone so polygonally perfect. Couldn't possibly live with someone as attractive as Xion... I'd probably end up locking them in the basement anyway. ^_^; <innocent smile>

As for Xion game-wise. I was asking because I started to lose faith in Bloody Roar after they mysteriously got rid of Fox. I was REALLY upset. Fox was MY character. He wasn't as strong.. but damn was he fast. I'm usually a speed and agility fighter which can make me a pain in the ass. I picked up the game.... said "Well.. isn't HE attractive." I decided it'd never hurt to play as him.. of course love blossomed when I really clicked with him. In his human form I find myself at a terrible disadvantage but in his unborn form I'm pretty good. I know I had the machine there at Best Buy flying. A whole crowd of people had gathered around to watch me. ^_^; I was blushing so much!! Ha ha ha! Though I don't know what setting they had the computer on, I managed to beat Long... about the fourth character in... with a perfect. ^_~

Though most of the spectators gathered when me and my sister went head to head in an all out war. We both played Xion.. so it was a fast moving battle. LOL... so entertaining.. At this moment right now I REALLY want to get that game and play.. it's just so unfair!! (I can't even go to Best Buy to get my fix.. I have to go straight home because there's no one here at work to supervise me. <snickers> Poor them!)

Anyway.... ^_^; That's all.. enough ranting from me!
