    The future of Soul Calibur

    Oh, sorry, I misread your tone. My bad. To be honest, I agree with that, but it shouldn't be right. Nostaliga filtering characters to make them lurch along way after their usefulness to the game is at an end isn't good. Mitsurugi being in the games because he's always in the games is dumb...

    The future of Soul Calibur

    Voldo in Soul Edge: "Gonna get me that Soul Edge to complete Master's Collection!" Voldo in SC1: "Setbacks are a part of life. THIS time, Soul Edge is goin' in the Money pit!" =D Voldo in SC2: "OK, so that was the wrong sword. Don't worry, master, I won't screw up again! Soul Edge will be...

    The future of Soul Calibur

    I don't know what character Cervantes really had left to ruin at this point, although making him human did make him completely fucking irrelevant to everything that was going on. Really, what is Cervantes? As a zombie, he's never even gotten close to reclaiming his old power canonically...

    All Purpose Hypothetical Super Soul Calibur 5 Thread

    *cracks knuckles* OK, a one, and a two, and away we go! Mechanical fine-tuning is a secondary concern to me; as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with V's GAMEPLAY that can't be fixed with a minor patch or two. Therefore, focus should be placed on giving that awesome gameplay more...

    Characters appearance and identity change?

    I personally assume there was no need to cannibalize Ashlotte for parts, since the composition used to make her would seem utterly impractical for mass production compared to slapping some metal on an ordinary golem and calling it a day. Also, I'd think if the cult has even a single brain cell...

    Characters appearance and identity change?

    Amnesia is indeed common, and Viola's an amnesiac either way. But it's explicitly stated that both Raphael and Amy were cursed by Soul Edge after Soul Calibur II; thus far, the only time Amy's been human in a game she's been playable in is in Raphael's bad ending. She's obligated to play by the...

    Characters appearance and identity change?

    To be honest, while I do think that Raphael is Nightmare's new body from enough things stacking up, too many things bug me about the "Viola=Amy" thing. When Soul Edge's power affects someone, age appears to kind of...stop. Unless you got purified like Sieg did, and he's clearly not feeling the...

    Is SC's Hephaestus a jerk and a fool?

    Technically, a former Spartan hero and all-around badass also knows that he's real and hates his guts for being a neglectful dickbag when he needed him. Aeon could pull a Kratos on the Greek Pantheon and STILL seem like the wronged party after how badly Heph dropped the ball on aiding Aeon in...

    Create A Soul Mode Patch Ideas

    OK, so for a rundown... -More slots, obviously, because everyone wants more and when stuff improves that want will increase. -Fix the damn floaty issues and compatibility problems. I want to be able to wear a sash with a skirt or an apron with something besides undies beneath it, and I don't...

    Shipping. Because you knew it would happen eventually.

    It's simple, really. Siegfried is "the one that got away" for Soul Edge. It's not used to a host ending their partnership without dying in the process, and said host went on to become its greatest enemy after Soul Edge was at its strongest using his body. So Soul Edge has become kind of...

    If there were CaS styles besides Devil Jin...

    This isn't really a matter of gameplay or anything, simply a theoretical situation I'm curious about. If a future SC game or DLC for V was to add, let's just say five new weapons/disciplines that can be given to created characters, what five would you think should be included? This can be...

    Raph confirmed as SCV Nightmare :D

    I think it's more that Soul Edge gains the skills and memory of its host and its victims, so the diference between Siegfried-Nightmare and Dumas-Nightmare is that Dumas-Nightmare has Soul Edge feeding off of the mind of an obsessive but brilliant nobleman with plans for the world at large while...

    Japanese offical artbook & guide .. Cassandra, Korean, Setsuka, side story

    Granted, it did seem inconsistent that Mitsurugi, a perfectly ordinary Samurai, fought ****ing ALGOL to a standstill and then got his ass handed to him by Setsuka, but that really cheapens Setsuka's character arc if the reason she gave up on revenge wasn't because she realized killing Mitsurugi...

    Shipping. Because you knew it would happen eventually.

    The three I 'ship most strongly are Xianghua/Kilik (Ill fated, schmil schmated. I'm still pulling for those two crazy kids to get more than one lousy night together and a son neither of them got to raise), Siegfried/Hilde (I considered Hilde's ending in IV one of the ones I'd prefer most as...

    Japanese offical artbook & guide .. Cassandra, Korean, Setsuka, side story

    Well, she's also got a direct relation to a real, canon character in the series and fits the backstory better than the others. But yeah, not having a horrible squeaky voice or a weird face was probably a point in her favor. People liked Shura too, though, and at this point I think it makes...
