All of the SCIV bonus characters, except Shura, don't fit the series pre-SCV, especially not when Soul series started. Since they are apparently bending the rules a bit on the roster because they are obviously running out of ideas (Z.W.E.I., Viola), the only ones that fit personally are Shura, and Ashlotte.
I think Tira is enough as it is in that department. The whole multiple personality part is what makes her unique, and PS uses that to define her style. Having another one would lose that individuality.
"Toys are most beautiful right before they break"-Jolly and evil "Scream to me" Sadic and evil. But I like mutiple personality....... oh well.
She was part of a evil cult, and had those kinda of quotes was very cool XD "Dirty hands can't clean your tears"
Actually I dont see how Zwei fits at all, I mean the Tekken producer thought he was gay-looking. Pretty much says what he looks like. His weapon style is too fantasy and out of place in SC. I mean SC was fantasy based but wasn't in fantasy if you get me. Soul calibur was comparable to inuyasha in its setting where as Zwei is more of what Bleach is.
Design-wise, obviously PS was running out of ideas, but one positive thing is that it is different from the rest, no matter how weird the wolf may seem in design.
Different doesn't always mean innovative.
I'm referring to "different" from the rest of the roster and how they fight, and that Z.W.E.I. and Viola are.
The series used to be an unofficial tournament styled adventure about real world weapons used in exaggerated ways. ZWEI is exaggerated but has too much outer-body assistance it doesn't fit the game anymore... I mean SC used to be about normal people exceptionally skilled at weapons styles they've mastered in their own countries who then travel outward to fit the magical sword (the only magical item) to achieve greater power. They had to fight with the limitations of the human body and mastery of just their weapons. It was like Tekken and only characters directly attached to the evil sword had mutated their abilities based on it but still relied on only their weapon. ZWEI just falls into something exactly as how the Persona series works. I mean Sc4 already pushed the barrier a bit but only with nightmare and sigfried. SC5 now feels like everyone has superpowers.
The problem I have is that they team seems to just make characters and shelf them right after. I mean the last 3 games were mainly focused on Seigfriend vs Nightmare. Every other character was just there for people to use but get no canon attention. If people are attached with the older characters they grew up with then the team should focus on building them. They already had a large classic cast and it being already iconic what reason do they need to create new heroes? People love Tak, Xanghuia and Cervantes but they were always just purpoesless and extra to the series. Lizardman has never had any relevance other then species diversity, give HIM a role. They dont have to make new characters as if they're forced to.. they can just recreate old ones from the past and bring them back. Tekken always had a solid large roster and made new characters still within the original theme of the game.. Revenant, Berserker and Assassin were decent templates for potential characters and already had backstories tied to them.. they just needed more exploration. SC can also add depth to the characters if they incorperated historial themed mythological events back ito the series to make it look more like it was and less into this fantasy dreamland SCv became.
Sorry I didn't catch all that.
I do, that's why I can tolerate him. I like Alpha Patroklos more than Regular Patroklos on that department.
Oh, I forgot to mention her, I actually accept Viola because the ball IS her weapon and her character potential if involved with the swords is too high to be bashed. To me she looks like a character that would speak for the swords or detect where fragments or malfested humans are. With a story aboud souls her attributes of looking into people's souls to find what their darkest desires are sounds pretty relevant. Her character seems to be on the same theme as Zasalamel. It's magical use but its not that far fantasy where its uncomparable to to real life or even mythological life.
Such a troll
I like this post so much.
