X (EntityTopic, 7)

From Compile Worlds

X is a new character in the upcoming Puyo Puyo Tetris, and is the only new character who doesn't seem to represent either series. He is an odd looking fellow with a white X in his hair and vibrant, colorful clothing reminiscent of clowns. He seems to be the final boss character. His attack phrases relate to game mechanics, such as "Speed up" and "Hard Drop" (and even Hyper Hard Drop).

Etymology

X may come from the "X" in the logo of the game itself, which features a giant "X". Furthermore, this X is white, not unlike the one in the character's hair, and may additionally represent a "cross", as in the crossover between the two different series. X also looks like the Greek letter χ (Chi), which is often pronounced similarly to "key", perhaps to signify his importance. Finally, X may refer to the X pentomino.

Trivia

• In the in-game files, he is referred to as "MST". This may be an abbreviation of "Master", and is similar to how Ecolo was called "BOSS" in Puyo Puyo 7.
