The only problem is that abbreviation will be SC:ER and that will make people expect a mini game where you have to triage characters coming into the emergency room with various sword injuries.

Haha, I can just imagine Pyrrha as the incompetent intern who's scared of blood.

I can already see it now.

PA Announcer: Paging Dr. Ivy, paging Dr. Ivy, you are needed in the surgery room
Dr. Ivy: Oh bloody hell *walks to surgery room*
Surgeon: Okay, Dr. Ivy, our patient has a purple discoloration in his skin and requires heart surgery.
Dr. Ivy: Where shall I cut first? *pulls out Valentine and performs the surgery*

Tira: ALL THE BLOOD *manic laughteer* @ U @
Everyone else: O_O ....tf....
 
I really hope when the next installment comes out that all the characters have their own story because i was very surprised and pissed when there was only one story mode. They barely explained the new characters and all the characters have nice stories on the Soulcalibur website that were not explained in the game. I really wanted to find out why did Kilik follow in his master footsteps, Where the hell Taki went, what is Maxi gonna do now, Is Cervantes gonna mess with more people, and does Viola and Raphael have a relationship. (Because she looks like Amy). The game is good period! If i had Live it would be better and for goodness sake ADD MORE MODES!! Quick Play gets boring and Legendary Souls is like a Ranking Arcade for people that have Live or PSN. PLEASE ADD MORE MODES. SC2 and SC3 had more modes then this. All an all the next installment needs to have EVERYBODIES STORY!!!
 
P.A. Announcer: Paging Drs. Kilik, Xianghua, Yun-Seong, and Maxi, you're needed for brain tumor removal
Maxi: Again? That's the fourth one this week.
Xianghua: I'm not touching any squishy brains.
Kilik: Come on, how hard can it be?
Yun-Seong: *Slices the top of the patient's head and half of the brain*
Maxi: Nice going, Yun-Seong
Xianghua: Could you have just wait? I wasn't ready to give him the anesthetic.
Yun-Seong: Whoops *shrugs shoulders*
Patient: *dies*
Kilik: We are so screwed.
 
How fun this is to do.
"Doctor Raphael, a patient is suffering from blood loss"
Raphael: I know precisely why, too *Wipes blood off gloves*

I'm thinking multiple stories following a group of characters would be better.
For example Maxi's group (Leixia, Natsu and Xiba) should have only one story since they are travelling together and their stories are interwined in a way. I imagine their final boss would be Kilik who would reveal that Leixia and Xiba are brothers.
Another example would be a Schwarzwind story.

I personally think it should be set in segments on the next installment's story, which of the current roster and potential new characters.

1. Europe-Story revolves around Europe, and possibly Africa and American countries
  • Playing as Patroklos, Pyrrha, Ivy, Hilde, Siegfried, Viola
  • Possibly Tira, Nightmare, Z.W.E.I. (if he is still alive), Aeon, Astaroth, Dampierre, Raphael
  • Potentially Bangoo, Zasalamel (if he returns)
2. Asia-Story revolves around Asia
  • Playing as Leixia, Xiba, Yoshimitsu, Mitsurugi, Maxi, Natsu
  • Possibly Kilik
  • Potentially Talim and Yunseong (if they return), Riki (Hopefully)
3. World-The point where the continents intertwine
  • Playing as any key characters from the previous segments
  • Possibly any "hidden characters" that were intended on being "hidden"
The story itself, I prefer adding a cliffhanger ending to leave anticipation for the next game's story mode.
Individual endings should be in the form of Edge Master Mode or how Soulcalibur 3's story mode was set.

I agree with this. Maybe you could have multiple stories about each side-plot and then the final story is Patroklos and Pyrrha's and named the "True story". Kind of like Blazblue, its the critical piece 0f the story. One problem I have from blazblue's story is finding out whats canon or not and thats just because of every character's ending, so group stories about groups that are potentially unconnected (But maybe in the true story they meet). Also, I want to be able to choose what character I want to play as. I main Pyrrha, and I want to play as Pyrrha when Patroklos and Pyrrha are together, not just Patroklos. And maybe the story could change depending on who you choose to play as or how you kill the enemy? Take fighting Tira for instance. If I play as Pyrrha, I have a cutscene if I lose about something, game over, retry the chapter. If I win, I carry on with the story, but if I win with a critical edge, it opens up an "Extra" plot, and the marker on the story mode indicates its extra by a different color, and all extra storylines are non-canon. Im okay with joke endings and false endings and bad endings and all that stuff, too.
 
They could make you choose a character from your party before each match. I'm sure a lot of games doss this but the one that comes to mind is Rival Schools/Project Justice.

Now that I think of it the latter had the perfect kind of arcady story mode. Unless of course we'd have Edgemaster mode focusing on groups while arcade mode has endings for each character.

I think arcade should be each character and none of the endings are canon (I really want to see Pyrrha's arcade ending. Is it her becoming Omega or her killing Tira and living happily ever after, do you think?)

I agree with non-canon endings, they allow for funny or at least more interesting endings.

It could be both. You see her grabbing Soul Edge and transforrming into Omega* with Tira smiling like a dork behind her. Next scene you see her walking away from the camera and then the camera slides down and you see Tira's corpse impaled by Soul Edge on the ground.

*Omega as in Nightmare Omega.

so they're pretty much in Valhalla minus the dining hall. yeah i could live with that.

It's basically an exact replica of the SC universe, except that they are the only people there (anyone else they interact with is merely the product of hallucination), no one ages (actually, that one seems to be prevalent in SCV anyway...) and death is impossible. So I suppose it's a bit like Valhalla.

Oh god, what have I started? :P

Viola would definitely make the worst doctor though: "I don't care whether you live or die"
