I was watching some Dragon Age videos, and I think I want the Morrigan VA to do the voice for Ivy in SCVI: when she speaks in a soft, slow manner there's a sense of wickedness and sensuality. I think it's time to give a break to the 80-year old woman currently voicing Ivy

Couple of things. First I gotta say I'm surprised at Talim being so popular. I thought she'd be up there but not the most popular character in the whole series. I figured that would be Taki or Siegfried. Also kind of surprised at Mitsurugi being so high up. Always thought he was pretty average. Someone else I didn't expect to score so high was Yun Seong. I'm not a fan of him and honestly thought almost nobody else liked him either since they never talk about him but he was in the top 15. It looks like people really, really don't like mimic characters because the four of them took dead last place. The fans even liked Patroklos more than the mimic characters so that says something lol. Other than Viola none of the new characters they brought in with SCV scored high at all. Patroklos and Leixia were way down there.

Hwang scored right in the middle at #23. It was nice to see people haven't forgotten about him since he hasn't really been a character in about 15 years other than his cameo in the 3rd game. Maybe with him scoring so high even though he hasn't gotten any love from the devs in such a long time will make them take notice. Seeing Li Long so far down on the list was a bummer because I really liked the double nunchuk style they gave him in SCIII Arcade Edition and I wanna see more of that but by the looks of it we might not. Other than that the list here is pretty solid and not too different from what mine would be.

Seriously, I think Lani Minella does a great job! She sound exactly as I would imagine Ivy. Have you heard her as Warlord Zaela in World of Warcraft? She has a very different and cool voice, I think. That's why she's a great Ivy. Yes, Morrigan sounds cool, but I think Ivy sounds cool as well for the time being.
 
Surprised that Maxi, Astaroth, and Hwang are not only towards the bottom of the list, but all of them are lower than Viola.

Also, fucking MUH TALIMs.
 
(*random new member joins the discussion*)

It's kind of a shame to see most of the new characters so low on the poll, they're not nearly as good as their masters/parents but it's still a pity.
Anyway, I thought I'd share my ideas/wishes for SoulCalibur VI.

Seeing that most, if not all, fighting video games have abandoned the classic story mode, where you pick a character, fight 4-8 stages and unlock their ending (and then you have to wait until the next game to see if it's canon) , and have adopted this new type of story mode that ties each of the characters' personal stories into a bigger one, or at least tries, I'd like to see something like what they did in SoulCalibur III but in a way similar to, Dead or Alive 5's story mode (but not make it a narrative mess) .

As far as gameplay and graphics go, I was pretty satisfied with what SoulCaibur V had to offer and I'm sure that they can even top that (as weird as it sounds, I'm mosty interested in the story of a video game anyway, meaning I'm willing to ignore shitty gameplay if the story is good)

Now, as for the characters. What I hate in fighting video games is seeing animals (I'm looking at you Tekken) , robots, demons and all sorts of crap join the fight. I can kind of understand Astaroth, Yoshimitsu and Voldo being included (the last two are humans but they're still weird) but Aeon has to go!
There's also a problem with the story, at this point, we're not sure if they're gonna reboot it or carry on from where they left it in SoulCalibur V, they clearly said that "fans' opinions would influence the future of the series greatly" when they announced the poll and, seeing that most of the highest-ranking characters either got a baby replacemnt or died I can see a reboot coming our way. Plus, Namco has a "rule" according to which females can, apparently, not age after reaching a "mature" age meaning that 40+ females would never make the cut, unless, they made a "non-canon" game n which the timeline of the story doesn't matter and characters from different points in the story could be included. That, however, would mean no story or a weird one..

On another note, Soul has not had a "put-everone-in" kind of game, in which they include the full cast (like Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for example) ever since SoulCalibur III. I think the full cast deserves a "last time to shine" before moving on with the story, whether that means they will reboot the story or that they will carry on with the successors and remaining veterans. Besides, no other game delves so deep into every aspect of a character's story, at least no other fighting game, as much as Soul does. Each and every single character desreves to be in the next game (yes, even Aeon, who could FINALLY turn back into a human by the way) .

My ideal cast would be this:

  • Heishiro Mitsurugi (He hasn't offered anything to the story ever since... forever, but he's kind of a trademark so yeah)
  • Siegfried Schtauffen (I really dislike him but he was a protagonist so I guess I should respect that)
  • Sophitia Alexandra
  • Taki
  • Voldo
  • Hwang Seonggyeong (I much prefer Yunseong but I feel like Hwang needs a second chance, he's kind of a classic and would give an "old-school" feeling)
  • Soul Edge/Inferno/Nightmare/Some version of Soul Edge
  • Kilik
  • Ivy
  • Chai Xianghua
  • Maxi
  • Astaroth
  • Edge Master (I was kind of hoping he could "evolve" from a simple mimic-character, maybe he could use all the "lost" disciplines; the movesets of characters that were/will be cut)
  • Raphael Sorel/Nightmare 2.0 (at this point I think we all know that he was Graf Dumas/Nightmare so maybe he could keep that role but not as a puppet of Soul Edge, which was simply controlling him and using his body in SoulCalibur V, maybe he could gain control and use Soul Edge but with his own fighting style/weapon type)
  • Cassandra Alexandra
  • Zasalamel (not even sure why he got cut from SoulCalibur V in the first place, I guess it has something to do with the game being rushed and not having enough time to finish the story, like they said)
  • Tira
  • Setsuka/Neve
  • Amy/Viola (maybe she could regain her memories but keep the new fighting style)
  • Patroklos Alexander (I know everyone hates him but I do believe there is hope for him)
  • Z.W.E.I.
  • Yan Leixia
  • Natsu
  • Xiba
  • Pyrrha Alexandra (same as Patroklos)
  • Soul Calibur/Elysium (I liked the idea that Elysium was the equivalent of Inferno/Nightmare, essentially proving that neither sword is "good" but maybe this type she could not be a Sophitia-ghost and appear in her "true" form)
Sorry for typing too many stuff, I got excited :p !

Sorry xD , I'm sure this seems incredibly weird to a lot of people, if not everyone, but it's the truth xD !
Besides, I've been playing fighting games for a lot of time, but that doesn't neccesarily mean I'm good xD ...
As far as Soul is concerned I guess I could do pretty well with Ivy but my playstyle consists of: 50% memorising a few combinations, 30% button mashing and 20% luck.
So yeah, you get the idea xD ..

I don't find it weird.
I care about the game as a whole,not just an aspect or two.I'm sure you do too.
But you'll get cyber bullied for saying stuff like that here in this forum.
Because most of the ants here only care about the fighting mechanics and nothing else.Mainly a site for competitive players.

Oh! I see! Well, I guess I'm an outcast then xD . And yeah, I obviously care about the gameplay mechanics too, what Ι meant to say was that, since I've been following the series ever since SoulCalibur came out, I'm more interested about the story rather than whether they add a few new moves and nerf/unnerf a few existing ones.

Don't let soul spook you, we don't care if you only care about story, gameplay, or a mixture of both. Just don't go around in every thread saying sc5 sucks cuz no talim or sc2 was the best cuz link and GIs were oh so gud, and no one will give a shit.

This might seem like a dumb question but any news on SC6?

Of course not, they have to focus on better things, like new "costumes". Pirate this time (girls only of course), next time is an astronaut (helmet and patches of cloth on the shameful parts), and I'm drawing another one: it's called Calibur fighter, it has a patch of crystal on each nipple, and on the v-thing. Yeah, because that's what they are focusing on right now. /rant

I see, no it didn't have such intentions :) . I assume it can be annoying hearing the same stuff again and again so no worries, I'll be careful ;) !

Back on topic, are they still focusing on Lost Swords?
I understand there are people who like it but shouldn't they just focus on developing the next game and not fool around, given how Namco already pays more attention to Tekken I don't think Team Soul should be wasting their resources.

When you say it like that, Lost swords is like a down low porn to boost up development for SCVI. Tekken is well.....Tekken.

Well, I wouldn't put it exactly this way but, they are probably trying to make some extra money for the future. And how do they achieve that? By selling overpriced revealing costumes for the female characters, whether they are underage or adults so yeah xD ...
I don't mind the fanservice but they have kind of overdone it :p !

I don't like resorting to "sex sells", but I'll have to thank those that enjoy that nonsense. I'd feel guilty keeping it around especially when a 4 year old that adores me questions why I play that game. Talk about conviction for my soul.
