How Would you se the roster for the next SoulCalibur ?

[08] Mercenary
It may not be the good time to talk about SCVI already but since the actual SCV roster may seems rushed and not so varied (3 mimics, missing styles and reused skin) I was wondering what could be done to improve this for the next game.

So I considered the styles and iconic characters from the serie and tried to imagine a new and original way to revamped them to bring them back.

It is the roster that would please me to see.


What do you think of it and what is the roster you would like to have?

Returning

-Aeon
-Algol
-Cervantes
-Dampierre
-Edge Master (Kilik)
-Hilde
-Ivy
-Lexia
-Maxi
-Mitsurugi
-Natsu
-Nightmare (Pyrrha Omega with some moves from Nightmare)
=> I think I have to explain this one because I don’t want to be yelled at by hardcore Nightmare fans. Lol. Here’s my point, for me Nightmare always been the wielder of SoulEdge, since Nightmare has been separated from Siegfried, and acquired some new moves, he never really appealed me. He was at his best in SCII and I think his second best incarnation is his SCV one, but it still seems boring to me thinking he an inspired Siegfried style. I always thought Nightmare should have a more aggressive style from the wielder of SoulEdge. So I was blown away to see this is the direction they took with Pyyrha Omega and I still hope they will go on. (But still, it is just my opinion)
-Patroklos (Alpha Patroklos)
-Raphael
-Siegfried
-Tira
-Viola
-Voldo
-Xiba
-Yoshimitsu
-Zweit

-New Characters

-Bangoo (Revamped Spawn Style)
=> Since Astaroth is a diferent variation of Rock style, I think it could be interesting to revamp a fighting style from a guest character, like Kratos for Aeon, to diversify the gameplay.
-A New Style

-Characters Who Should Come Back

-Cassandra (Revamped S&S Styles)
=> Considering the whole franchise, there are 4 S&S styles (Sophitia, Cassandra, Patroklos and Pyyrha) so considering the end of SCV, Patroklos now use Setsuka’s style and Pyyrha a more aggressive Sophitia one. To not waste the 3 styles left, Cassandra looks like a good character to handle this.
-Hwang - OR - Yun Sung – OR – New Character
-Taki (Revamped Starkiller Style)
=> Still no clue to what happened to her, for me, beeing one of the more charismatic character from the serie, she has to come back somehow. So the Starkiller style seems like a good choice for a ninja like her.
-Talim
-Zasalamel

According to the creators of the game in an interview, Taki got "Too old" for a ninja".

I'd rather have an out of place ninja then Natsu, honestly. Now that she's gone I realize how much I really liked Taki.
 
How about anyone from SC1 to SC4. Not to mention some characters such as the following:

-Aztec Jaguar Warrior
-Arabian male or female
-Russian noble who lost his family to Ivan The Terrible
-Zulu Warrior
-Female Maori Warrior
 
Ideally? ALL NEW CHARACTERS. Scrap everyone. New stories, new everything.

But since that's not likely to happen...

If I'm understand what you're saying correctly...you're suggesting that Taki have The Apprentice's fighting style? AKA, assassin Jedi style? I'm sorry, what? I'm not trying to be rude but I don't see how that makes any sense at all and why she would have that style. If anything, she should just have her SCIV moveset with slight variations if necessary, and have Natsu be similiar but different enough that she's not a clone.

If I read that wrong and you meant something else, please enlighten me. @___@

I doubt Taki would ever come back since she's been deemed "too old to be a ninja" which is amusing to me since the SC team is influenced by Naruto, and there are a good number of "old" female ninjas if I recall correctly (I haven't watched the show in years), so it seems weird they would use that as their arguement.

As for the roster I would like to see next game, I'm not entirely sure yet. As long as there isn't 3 mimic characters or too many characters of one style, it doesn't ultimately matter to me. I would like to see Talim back however, as I loved her fighting style.


Edit: Since this topic is probably going to be closed soon, you can message/comment me if you have a reply to my question.
 
Just bring back everybody for vs. mode including all the minor characters like Revenant, Arthur, Girardot, Ashlotte, etc. Keep the story alive with the current active characters.

I would add new characters like:
Aztec, Mayan, Inca Type Warrior
Conquistador
Zulu Warrior
Amazonian Lost Tribe Warrior
Evil Inquisitor
Arab Warrior
Character inspired by Vlad Tepes
Indian Mystic
Nomadic Mongol Warrior
Aborigine Warrior
African Witch Doctor
Native American Warrior
