Soul Calibur 5 Guest/Bonus/CAS Character Discussion

Ohh oh, people are talking about Religion, that never ends good.

On topic: I have learned to accept the guest characters, as long as they don't overshadow the game (which they pretty much do for the most part) I'm" cool with it. Soul Calibur IV's storyline(s) were so garbage that I didn't even bother with the whole "Star Wars is going to kill the story" excuse.
 
I would like to see Conor Oberst as a guest character. We still lack the damned angry guitar fighting style!

BTW - this song of Bright Eyes is conveying my attitude towards religion (if anybody cares about it):

 
trollolala....la

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about when I say Grim Fandango, and yes the fact it's Lucasarts is a coincidence lol


And here's a little slideshow for you. This is the closest Manny's ever getting to a sequel *sniff*
 
hmmm...religion sux

if there has to be a guest character, i wouldnt mind seeing a Bushido Blade character.

Think you've got that the wrong way round, should be Jesus for Xbox, if we're following the existing trend lol.

Think that's an important part of the guest character marketing scheme actually. Think back to SC2, they had Heihachi on the PS2, a well known fighter from Namco's own brand. The PS2 never needed added marketing in Japan, the Xbox, however, got Spawn, an extremely cool new character, helping them market the Xbox over there, while Heihachi did it for the rest of the world and the PS2. Link I think speaks for himself...

I think this time round they'll hopefully be trying to market the game more then the console it's on, if they include guests...
 
Balsa the Spear-Wielder from Moribito: The Last Guardian would make for an awesome fighting style in SC
 
Great Thread.
I love SC for the same reason as you Hotaru. The CAS is what makes this game fun years later when Im sick of the stock models. I think a height slider to match the girth slider is a great idea for V. If they can make the option scale between Yoda and Astaroth in height that would make a lot of cool new options available. I also think adding more faces, voices and details will improve upon the excellent standard set in IV.

As for hitboxes, well, that is a development task and I trust that they will make it all balanced with playtesting this time.
Lastly I would love to see one traditional/historically plausible weapon of eastern style and one of western style for EVERY character. Like Maxi's Flail and Taki's shortswords, I want to have a longsword for Mitsurugi and a Nodachi for Siegfried. Not necessarily for the characters but for the CAS of their move set. Finally I would prefer that however sexy the character models get that the move sets remain gender neutral. I hate having to play a Viking Sword and shield weilder who presses his knees together demurely and giggles behind his hand.
 
I think the easiest way to fix the hitbox issue is to simply give a hoster the option to allow hitboxes or not in their games. That way almost everyone can get what they want.
 
They should have better face customization like in Elder Scrolls, Sims, etc. I hate having only 6 faces that look ugly or weird and you can't customize them at all. Skeletons/Lizards should be available, its lame that those weren't buildable in SC4.

I want BloodRayne. Because she's hot, a redhead, has a cool uni, wristblades, and great suction. :-O

Ok, I know toons can't be hot nor have suction, but if they can virtually fight then they can virtually be hot too :) I dig the heels, too.

'Odashima brought the subject of guest characters in the new Soulcalibur up as well. “My personal opinions on what to expect from guest characters; It’s popular(from any genre), Uses weapons; Matches the SC atmosphere,” he wrote in a separate post.
“There is still a chance that the guest characters people suggest might make it into the game. Whether we will have a guest character at all this time is undecided tho,” he stated before signing off for the day.'

Just so long as it's not Kratos I'm relatively happy, almost a month old news there, but yeah just to re-interate;

'It’s popular(from any genre), Uses weapons; Matches the SC atmosphere'
 
And Yoda matches the SC atmosphere.............?

Face it, Star Wars was a marketing money grab, we all know it. There was no "matches the SC atmosphere" on that one.
 
By your definition, a walking penis would fit the SC atmosphere if it was put into the game.

Star Wars did not fit SC at all. A spin-off Star Wars game using the SC engine would have been neat, but I don't want Star Wars stuff in Soul Calibur (BTW I don't like Star Wars one bit)
 
Kilik is also an original character created for the Soul series, and strictly for the soul series by Namco. I do not understand what is so difficult to understand here.
